Increasing H1N1pdm09 M Gene In US trH1N2 Swine
Recombinomics Commentary 22:30
December 07, 2011

The recently released swine trH1N2 set of sequences from Ohio, A/swine/Ohio/FAH10-1/2010, contained the three genes acquired by the emerging human 2010 trH3N2 contagion.  The resulting reassortant has 5 genes (PB2, PA, HA, NP, NS) from the dominant human trH3N2 and 3 genes from the swine trH1N2, to produce H3N2pdm11, which has been isolated from all ten 2011 confirmed cases, as well as one isolate from a pig in New York.

The USDA and agencies which research animal disease have released a series of swine sequences.  The vast majority of the USDA sequences cover 3 of the 8 genes (HA, NA, MP).  Many of these sequences have acquired an H1N1pdm09 M gene, and a subset of those isolates also have an N2 sequence that is closely related to the sequence in H3N2pdm11.

A recent paper had noted the dramatic increase in genetic stability in swine isolates containing the H1N1pdm09 M gene.  The isolates in the paper were largely H1N2 isolates from early 2010.  Below is a list of H1N2 sequences at GISAID (and Genbank) collected since the start of the 2009 pandemic, which include a M gene sequence.

The list includes the collection date, demonstrating a significant increase in collections in the first five months of 2011, as well as an increasing frequency of isolates with a H1N1pdm09 M gene.  Although the sequence data on the isolates below, full sequences from the earlier isolates, identified multiple genes acquired from H1N1pdm09, signaling a high frequency of reassortment.

An increase in trH3N2 swine isolates with H1N2pdm09 M gene was noted previously, which created a number of distinct constellations.

However, in spite of the large number of trH1N2 and trH3N2 sequences with H1N1pdm09 M gene, all 2011 human isolates have the same constellation and lineage, although there is reassortment within the H3N2pdm11 sub-clade, signaling adaptation and evolution in humans, leading to the same constellation and lineage in all 10 human cases, identified in four states over a four month period.
