In order to clarify the effect of amino acid substitutions on the structure and function of the neuraminidase (NA) protein of influenza A virus, we introduced single-point amino acid substitutions into the NA protein of the A/Tokyo/3/67 (H2N2) strain using PCR-based random mutation. The rate of tolerant random one amino acid substitutions in the NA protein was 47%. Rates of tolerant substitutions for the stalk and for the surface and inner portion of the head region of the NA protein were 79, 54, and 19%, respectively. Deleterious changes, such as those causing the NA protein to stop at the Golgi/endoplasmic reticulum, were scattered throughout the protein. On the other hand, the ratio of mutations with which the NA protein lost neuraminidase activity, but was transported to the cell surface, decreased in proportion to the distance from the structural center of enzyme active site. In order to investigate the effect of accumulated amino acid substitutions on the structural character of the N2NA protein during evolution, the same amino acid substitutions were introduced by site-directed mutagenesis at 23 homologous positions on N2 proteins of A/Tokyo/3/67, A/Bangkok/15/85 (H3N2), and A/Mie/1/2004 (H3N2). The results showed a shift, or discordance, in tolerance at some of the positions. An increase in discordance was correlated with the interval in years between virus strains, and the discordance rate was estimated to be 0.6-0.7% per year.
