| Protein description | The NA assembles as a tetramer of four identical polypeptides and, when embedded in the envelope of the virus, accounts for approximately 10-20% of the total glycoproteins on the virion surface, with about 40-50 NA spikes and 300-400 HA spikes on an average sized virion of 120 nm. The four monomers, each of approximately 470 amino acids, fold into four distinct structural domains: the cytoplasmic tail, the transmembrane region, the stalk, and the catalytic head. The NA catalyzes the removal of terminal sialic acid residues from viral and cellular glycoconjugates. Cleaves off the terminal sialic acids on the glycosylated HA during virus budding to facilitate virus release. Additionally helps virus spread through the circulation by further removing sialic acids from the cell surface. These cleavages prevent self-aggregation and ensure the efficient spread of the progeny virus from cell to cell. Otherwise, infection would be limited to one round of replication. Described as a receptor-destroying enzyme because it cleaves a terminal sialic acid from the cellular receptors. May facilitate viral invasion of the upper airways by cleaving the sialic acid moities on the mucin of the airway epithelial cells. |

| Evidence | The majority of SNPs (246/456) resulted in silent mutations and few SNPs (210/456) encoded for non-relevant amino acid substitutions in NA gene (V106I (n=61), V203M (n=1), N248D (n=62), S286G (n=1)), PB1-F2 gene (T34A (n=1), V113A(n=1)), PB2 gene (K660R (n=2)) and NS1 gene segments (I123V (n=61), N133D (n=16), S135N (n=1), G154R (n=1), V194I (n=1), D207N (n=1)). The degree of discordance was limited (31/487 SNPs) and only 21 amino acid substitutions differed among the results generated by MSCSA and Sanger sequencing. |
