The complete nucleotide sequence of RNA2 of the E116 isolate of Dutch pea early-browning virus (PEBV-D) was obtained from overlapping cDNA clones. The RNA was found to encode three open reading frames corresponding to, in 5' to 3' order, the coat protein, the 2b nematode transmission protein and the C-terminal part of the cysteine-rich 1b protein derived from RNA1. The 3' non-coding region of PEBV-D RNA2 was also shown to be derived from RNA1. This is the first demonstration that recombination of PEBV occurs in nature. Comparison of the amino acid sequences of the PEBV-D RNA2 proteins with those of British PEBV and several isolates of tobacco rattle virus reveals complex patterns of mixing of the genomes of these two viruses. 相似文献

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with subsequent nucleotide sequence analysis was employed to rapidly detect genomic variations among different Hantavirus strains. Using synthetic oligonucleotide primers derived from the M and S segment RNAs of nephropathia epidemica virus strain H?lln?s B1 (NEV) we succeeded in amplifying the corresponding sequences of Hantaan and Puumala viruses. The nucleotide sequences of the cDNAs derived from the Puumala M and S RNA segments were analyzed. It was found that the particular nucleotide sequences of Puumala M and S segments were 81% and 82% homologous to the corresponding genomic segments of NEV, respectively. The amino acid homology was 94% for both segments. In contrast, the degree of homology to the corresponding Hantaan M and S genomic RNA segments was 63% at the nucleotide level for both segments and 53 and 55% at the deduced amino acid level, respectively. This demonstrates that Puumala virus is very similar to NEV and significantly different from Hantaan virus at both the nucleotide and protein level. 相似文献

Two lines of LLC-MK2 cells persistently infected with human parainfluenza virus 3 (HPIV-3) have been maintained in culture for approximately 3 years. Subgenomic RNAs (putative defective interfering particle genomes) were detected in virions released from both persistently infected cultures. In one of the persistently infected cell lines cyclic variation in the production of virions containing standard virus genomic-size (50S) RNA and subgenomic RNA was observed. The molar ratio of subgenomic RNA to 50S RNA ranged from less than 0.1/1 to 8.7/1. Northern blot analyses revealed that the patterns of viral mRNA synthesis in persistently infected cells from both cultures were similar to those of standard virus infected cells. Furthermore, the intracellular viral-specific proteins had electrophoretic mobilities similar to the corresponding proteins in standard virus-infected cells. Nucleotide sequence analysis of cloned M gene from virus after 29 months of persistence (147 passages) revealed only one variable conservative amino acid change in two clones analyzed from each cell line, indicating that the M protein is not likely to be involved in the maintenance of the persistent infections. The possible mechanisms by which the persistent state is maintained are discussed. 相似文献

A 3 cm diameter mass from the metacarpus of a Puerto Rican Amazon parrot was diagnosed as a granular cell tumour based on light microscopy. The cytoplasmic granules were periodic-acid Schiff positive and diastase resistant. Ultrastructural characteristics of the cells included convoluted nuclei and the presence of numerous cytoplasmic tertiary lysosomes. This is only the second granular cell tumour reported in a bird. We speculate that most granular cell tumours are derived from cells that are engaged in some type of cellular degradative process, creating a similar morphologic appearance, but lacking a uniform histogenesis. 相似文献

The nucleotide sequence of the nucleoprotein (NP) gene of the avian influenza A virus strain A/parrot/Ulster/73 (H7N1) has been determined. The gene (RNA segment 5) consists of 1565 bases. The only large open reading frame of the complementary RNA codes for a protein of 498 amino acids. A comparison of its sequence with that of three other influenza virus NPs shows that the NP of the parrot Ulster strain, although closely related to the NP of the other avian strain (A/FPV/Rostock/34), is definitely more closely related genetically to the NPs of the two human influenza strains, A/PR/8/34 and A/NT/60/68 than that of FPV. This raises the question how far the NP gene can cross the species barrier by reassortment and become adapted by mutation to the new host. 相似文献

RNA 3 of Alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) encodes the movement protein (MP) and coat protein (CP). Chimeric RNA 3 with the AMV MP gene replaced by the corresponding MP gene of Prunus necrotic ringspot virus, Brome mosaic virus, Cucumber mosaic virus or Cowpea mosaic virus efficiently moved from cell-to-cell only when the expressed MP was extended at its C-terminus with the C-terminal 44 amino acids of AMV MP. MP of Tobacco mosaic virus supported the movement of the chimeric RNA 3 whether or not the MP was extended with the C-terminal AMV MP sequence. The replacement of the CP gene in RNA 3 by a mutant gene encoding a CP defective in virion formation did not affect cell-to-cell transport of the chimera's with a functional MP. A GST pull-down technique was used to demonstrate for the first time that the C-terminal 44 amino acids of the MP of a virus belonging to the family Bromoviridae interact specifically with AMV virus particles. Together, these results demonstrate that AMV RNA 3 can be transported from cell-to-cell by both tubule-forming and non-tubule-forming MPs if a specific MP-CP interaction occurs. 相似文献

Differences between the translation efficiencies mediated by the 5'-untranslated regions (5'-UTR) of genotypes (gt) 1 and 3 of hepatitis C virus (HCV) have been reported but it is unknown if such differences are biologically significant. The 5'-UTR was sequenced from paired serum and liver samples from 26 patients with chronic HCV hepatitis (11 gt 1a, 15 gt 3a). To determine whether there is a consistent difference between gts 1a and 3a translation efficiency, 5'-UTR (nt 1-356) and 5'-UTR plus core (nt 1-914) sequences were cloned into bicistronic, luciferase-encoding constructs and relative translation efficiencies (RTE) measured in Huh7 cells and BHK cells. The relationships between viral load, liver biopsy Ishak scores, degree of steatosis and translational activity of the patient-derived nucleotide sequence were examined. There were no differences in 5'-UTR sequence between serum and corresponding liver samples. The mean RTE of 5'-UTR sequences from gt 3a isolates was not significantly different from gt 1a whether or not the core encoding sequence was included, although inclusion of core led to a reduction in RTE by 93-97% for both genotypes. No correlation was found between RTE and serum HCV RNA levels, liver steatosis, inflammation, or fibrosis. However, a significant correlation was found between the presence of steatosis and infection with HCV gt 3a. It is concluded that there was no difference in translation efficiencies of 5'-UTRs from patients infected with gts 1a and 3a, and translation activity measured in vitro does not correlate with viral load or severity of liver disease. 相似文献

Sequence of cowpea chlorotic mottle virus RNAs 2 and 3 and evidence of a recombination event during bromovirus evolution 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17
The genomic sequence of cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV) was completed by sequencing biologically active cDNA clones of CCMV RNA2 (2774 bases) and RNA3 (2173 bases). While only the central core of the encoded 94-kDa CCMV 2a protein contains features conserved among known and putative RNA replication proteins from many viruses, both flanking regions of CCMV 2a show substantial similarity to the corresponding protein of the related brome mosaic virus (BMV). The 3a proteins of CCMV and BMV, implicated as contributors to the distinct host specificities of the two viruses, show lower levels of conservation but are still discernibly related throughout. Major differences occur in the organization of noncoding sequences in CCMV and BMV RNA3. With respect to an otherwise similar region preceding the BMV 3a gene, the CCMV RNA3 5' noncoding sequence contains a clearly bounded 111-base insertion that must reflect a sequence rearrangement in evolution of at least one of the two viruses. The presence of a subgenomic promoter-like sequence near the end of the novel CCMV sequence makes the organization of genes in CCMV RNA3 reminiscent of the 3' end of tobacco mosaic virus RNA, suggesting that CCMV or its 3a gene might have been derived from an ancestor with fewer genomic RNAs. Sequence similarities between the CCMV and BMV RNA3 intercistronic regions include the subgenomic mRNA promoter and an oligo(A), but not an intercistronic segment required for BMV RNA3 amplification, implying that replication signals on the two RNA3s may be organized quite differently. 相似文献
