    Abstract Influenza A viruses (IAVs) originating from aquatic waterfowl recurrently cross interspecies barriers, which is greatly facilitated by utilizing cell surface-exposed monosaccharide sialic acids located on vertebrate cells as a universal host cell receptor. These glycan structures are first bound by the viral hemagglutinin (HA) for cell entry and then cleaved by the viral neuraminidase (NA) for particle release. In contrast, viruses of the recently identified bat-borne IAV subtypes H17N10 and H18N11 encode HA and NA homologs unable to interact with sialic acid residues despite a high degree of structural homology with their conventional counterparts. However, the most recent findings show that bat IAV HAs make use of the major histocompatibility complex class II proteins of different vertebrate species to gain entry into host cells, potentially permitting a broader host tropism. This review recapitulates current progress in the field of bat IAV research including the first assessment of the spillover potential of these bat viruses into other mammals.

    Abstract New World fruit bats were recently found to harbor two distinct and previously unknown influenza A viruses (IAVs) of the subtypes H17N10 and H18N11. Although viral genome sequences were detected in the liver, intestine, lung, and kidney of infected bats and the complete genome sequences have been isolated from their rectal swab samples, all attempts to isolate an infectious virus from bats in nature have failed. The lack of an infectious bat IAV isolate was overcome by reverse genetic approaches that led to the generation of an infectious virus in vitro. Using such synthetic bat IAVs enabled the identification of their unconventional cell entry via major histocompatibility complex II (MCH-II) molecules and their ability to replicate in mice, ferrets, and bats. Importantly, we also showed that these synthetic recombinant bat IAVs are not able to reassort with conventional IAVs, preventing the acquisition of enhanced transmission properties in non-bat species by reassortment with conventional IAVs. As authentic viruses are key for understanding the molecular biology of bat IAVs, in this chapter, we describe our recently established reverse genetics protocol for generating H17N10 and H18N11 in vitro. This step-by-step protocol starts with cloning of cDNA copies of the viral RNA segments into reverse genetics plasmids, followed by the generation of a highly concentrated stock and finally a method to determine viral titers.

    Abstract A specialized and fine-tuned immune response of bats upon infection with viruses is believed to provide the basis for a "friendly" coexistence with these pathogens, which are often lethal for humans and other mammals. First insights into the immunity of bats suggest that bats have evolved to possess their own strategies to cope with viral infections. Yet, the molecular details for this innocuous coexistence remain poorly described and bat infection models are the key to unveiling these secrets. In Jamaican fruit bats

    Abstract The coordinated packaging of the segmented genome of the influenza A virus (IAV) into virions is an essential step of the viral life cycle. This process is controlled by the interaction of packaging signals present in all eight viral RNA (vRNA) segments and the viral nucleoprotein (NP), which binds vRNA via a positively charged binding groove. However, mechanistic models of how the packaging signals and NP work together to coordinate genome packaging are missing. Here, we studied genome packaging in influenza A/SC35M virus mutants that carry mutated packaging signals as well as specific amino acid substitutions at the highly conserved lysine (K) residues 184 and 229 in the RNA-binding groove of NP. Because these lysines are acetylated and thus neutrally charged in infected host cells, we replaced them with glutamine to mimic the acetylated, neutrally charged state or arginine to mimic the non-acetylated, positively charged state. Our analysis shows that the coordinated packaging of eight vRNAs is influenced by (i) the charge state of the replacing amino acid and (ii) its location within the RNA-binding groove. Accordingly, we propose that lysine acetylation induces different charge states within the RNA-binding groove of NP, thereby supporting the activity of specific packaging signals during coordinated genome packaging.
    Importance: Influenza A viruses (IAVs) have a segmented viral RNA (vRNA) genome encapsidated by multiple copies of the viral nucleoprotein (NP) and organized into eight distinct viral ribonucleoprotein complexes. Although genome segmentation contributes significantly to viral evolution and adaptation, it requires a highly sophisticated genome-packaging mechanism. How eight distinct genome complexes are incorporated into the virion is poorly understood, but previous research suggests an essential role for both vRNA packaging signals and highly conserved NP amino acids. By demonstrating that the packaging process is controlled by charge-dependent interactions of highly conserved lysine residues in NP and vRNA packaging signals, our study provides new insights into the sophisticated packaging mechanism of IAVs.
