Host source proteins encoding HLA-A*0201 unique and increased peptides with direct interaction with the influenza A virus following infection.

Source Protein Peptide Sequence Function Influenza Interaction
Cytoskeleton Component Influenza virus NP binds the actin
cytoskeleton to promote cytoplasmic retention
of vRNPs
Actin FAGDDAPRA Cell Structure, Integrity, and Mobility Integrity of cytoskeleton is necessary for virus
internalization into epithelial cells
Maintains organization of lipid rafts during
virus budding

IINEPTAAA Correct folding of nascent polypeptides Colocalizes with nuclear M1 to promote
nuclear export of vRNPs
HSP70
LLDVTPLSL Disassembly of clathrin-coated vesicles Inhibits nuclear export of vRNPs at 41°C

ILDKKVEKV Correct folding of nascent polypeptides Nuclear import of influenza polymerase
proteins
HSP90
ALLSSGFSL Refolding denatured proteins Assembly of influenza polymerase complex

Transportation of ribosomes and ribosomal proteins
between nucleus and cytoplasm
Nucleolin TLQEVFEKATF Influenza virus NS1 localizes with nucleolin in
host cell nucleoli
During Cell Stress: Inhibits DNA replication,
Stimulates DNA repair, and Down regulates c-myb

Calcium dependent phospholipid binding protein Incorporated into influenza virions
Annexin A2 SVIDYELIDQDA Regulates cell growth
Converts plasminogen into plasmin. Plasmin
can cleave HA into HA1 and HA2
Involved in signal transduction pathways
