[Phylogenetic analysis of genes of the influenza virus. Relationship between adaptability and neutrality].
Detailed phylogenetic analysis of the gene family of hemagglutinin H3 of influenza A-type virus was fulfilled, taking into account the domain structure of protein and positions of antigen determinants. The densities of distribution of fixed synonimic replacements between domains HA1 and HA2 were shown to be actually equal (rho (HA1) = rho (HA2], and those of nonsynonimic ones to be unequal: their ratios were rho (HA1): rho (HA2) = 2.8 for nonepidemic branches, and rho (HA1): rho (HA2) = 7.7 for epidemic ones. For the positions of antigen determinants (agd) these densities differ still stronger from HA2: rho (agd): rho (HA2) = 10 for nonepidemic branches, and rho (agd): rho (HA2) = 36 for epidemic ones. In total, the rate of fixation of nonsynonimic replacements per position of antigen determinants for epidemic branches is 32 times higher than for nonepidemic ones. The absolute value of this estimation is K(ns)d = (9.1 +/- 0.7).10(-3) of nonsynonimic replacements per nonsynonimic position per year and seems to be twice as much as the maximum rate of neutral fixations Ks = (4.28 +/- 0.68).10(-3). Therefore, the epidemic reproduction of influenza virus is highly adaptive, exactly being focused on positions of antigen determinants. The evolution of influenza virus is stochastic process, both with the neutral and adaptive fixations.
