ABSTRACT

The zoonotic pathogen avian influenza A H5N8 causes enormous economic losses in the poultry industry and poses a serious threat to the public health. Here, we report the first systematic review and meta-analysis of the worldwide prevalence of birds. We filtered 45 eligible articles from seven databases. A random-effects model was used to analyze the prevalence of H5N8 in birds. The pooled prevalence of H5N8 in birds was 1.6%. In the regions, Africa has the highest prevalence (8.0%). Based on the source, village (8.3%) was the highest. In the sample type, the highest prevalence was organs (79.7%). In seasons, the highest prevalence was autumn (28.1%). The largest prevalence in the sampling time was during 2019 or later (7.0%). Furthermore, geographical factors also were associated with the prevalence. Therefore, we recommend site-specific prevention and control tools for this strain in birds and enhance the surveillance to reduce the spread of H5N8.

ABSTRACT

Regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins are GTPase-activating proteins (GAP) for G protein alpha-subunits and are thought to be responsible for rapid deactivation of G protein mediated signaling pathway. In this present study, we demonstrate that PA is the most efficient candidate to inhibit GAP activity of RGS4. The functional significance of N-terminus of RGS4 in respose to PA-granted inhibition on GAP activity has been studied with the site mutation in the N-terminus of RGS4. These site-directed mutations in the N-terminal domain do not severely disrupt its association with liposomes of PA. However, RGS4L23E diminishes the inhibition of GAP activity by PA compared with the wild type RGS4, whereas RGSR22E abrogates the inhibitory effect by PA on GAP activity. The correspondent conformational discrepancy in the RGS domain of these mutants in the presence of PA vesicles was detected from fluorescence experiments. It is suggested that the functional pertinence between the N-terminus and RGS domain may be important to modulate PA-conferred inhibitory effect on its GAP activity.
