PPMV-1, an antigenic variant of APMV-1, associated with specific pigeon host species. However, its evolutionary strategy and underlying drivers of host specificity remain unknown. In this study, we collect the outbreak data on a global scale to investigate its evolutionary dynamics, and provide an evidence-supported analysis the host shift of PPMV-1 from chickens to pigeons, and this shift is driven by the P protein. Our data indicated that the viruses in the United States and China have undergone convergent evolution. We find that three mutations of P protein, especially R163G, can significantly affect the adaptation of APMV-1 in pigeons. Mechanistically, sensor LSm14A inhibits the replication APMV-1 in DF-1 cells, and R163G substitutionon P protein increase LSm14A degradation. We propose the host shift drive the evolution of PPMV-1 and the underlying mechanism, offering new insights into the adaptive evolutionary process of the virus.
