We determined the nucleotide (nt) sequence of the small hydrophobic (SH), attachment glycoprotein (G), and RNA polymerase (L) genes, plus the leader and trailer regions of the Colorado strain of Avian metapneumovirus subtype C (aMPV/C) in order to complete the genome sequencing. The complete genome comprised of 13,134 nucleotides, with a 40 nt leader at its 3' end and a 45 nt trailer at its 5' end. The aMPV/C L gene was the largest with 6173 nt and consisting of a single open reading frame encoding a 2005 amino acids (aa) protein. Comparison of the aMPV/C SH, G, and L nt and predicted aa sequences with those of Human metapneumoviruses (hMPV) revealed higher nt and aa sequence identities than the sequence identities between the aMPV subtypes A, B, C, and D, supporting earlier finding that aMPV/C was closer evolutionary to hMPV than the other aMPV subtypes.  相似文献

The complete nucleotide sequences for four adenoviruses-Simian Adenoviruses 21, 22, 23, and 24, originally isolated from chimpanzees, were determined. The genome organization of the chimpanzee adenoviruses was found to be similar to that of other adenoviruses. The viral gene products of the adenoviruses Simian Adenoviruses 22, 23, and 24 are very closely related to those of the (previously sequenced) chimpanzee adenovirus Simian Adenovirus 25. Simian Adenovirus 21 is most similar to human subgroup B adenoviruses HAdV-3, HAdV-7, and HAdV-35. Analysis of the capsid proteins hexon and fiber of the chimpanzee adenoviruses also supports the placement of Simian Adenovirus 21 in subgroup B and Simian Adenoviruses 22, 23, and 24 in subgroup E.  相似文献

Avian metapneumovirus (AMPV) is a respiratory viral pathogen that causes turkey rhinotracheitis (TRT) or swollen head syndrome (SHS) in chickens. AMPV was first isolated in South Africa during the early 1970s and has subsequently spread worldwide during the 1980s to include Europe, Asia, and South America. In 1996, a genetically distinct AMPV subgroup C was isolated in the US following an outbreak of TRT. Vero cells are currently the best available substrate for AMPV propagation but are of non-avian origin. A number of different avian cell substrates have been compared to determine which is the most suitable for the propagation of AMPV to sufficiently high titers. Of the cell substrates tested, primary turkey turbinate and kidney and chicken kidney cells produced titers equal to or greater than Vero cells. Turkey turbinate and kidney epithelial cells that were life-span extended by the ectopic expression of human telomerase catalytic subunit (HTERT) initially displayed AMPV titers comparable to Vero cell controls, but declined in virus production with increased passage in culture. Interestingly, plaques emanating from Vero propagated virus were relatively small and dispersed, when analyzed by immunofluorescent assays (IFA), while both turkey turbinate and kidney cell propagated AMPV produced larger plaques. Even with these differences, there were no changes in the predicted amino acid sequences of the nucleocapsid (N) and phosphoprotein (P) genes of AMPV propagated in either turkey turbinate or Vero host cells. However, the fusion (F) gene showed 11 amino acid differences (98.7% identity) between the two host cell types. These results suggest that AMPV propagated in homologous avian cellular substrates may produce more infectious virus with possibly more effective fusion activity, compared to Vero cell propagation.  相似文献

Complete nucleotide sequence of the genome of coxsackievirus B1   总被引:29,自引:0,他引:29

The complete nucleotide sequence of the genome of the coxsackievirus B1, a human enterovirus that belongs to the Picornaviridae, was determined by using molecular cloning and rapid sequence analysis techniques. Sequence analysis of the cloned cDNAs revealed that the virion RNA was 7389 nucleotides long and polyadenylylated at the 3' terminus. Similar to other picornavirus genomes, a single large open reading frame was identified. The translated sequence starts at nucleotide position 742 and ends at 7287 of the genome. Thus, the viral polyprotein should consist of 2182 amino acids. When the predicted amino acid sequence of the viral polyprotein was compared with those of other human enteroviruses such as polioviruses, a striking sequence homology was observed, especially in viral proteins 1B, 2C, and 3D. This allowed us to predict precise map locations of the viral structural and nonstructural proteins on the genome, although two proteolytic processing sites, between 1D and 2A and between 2B and 2C, were obscure. The result presented here implied important information with respect to the genetical variation of human enteroviruses.  相似文献

Avian metapneumovirus (aMPV) subtype B (aMPV/B) nucleotide sequences were obtained for the phosphoprotein (P), second matrix protein (M2), and small hydrophobic protein (SH) genes. By comparison with sequences from other metapneumoviruses, aMPV/B was most similar to subtype A aMPV (aMPV/A) relative to the US subtype C isolates (aMPV/C) and human metapneumovirus (hMPV). Strictly conserved residues common to all members of the Pneumovirinae were identified in the predicted amino acid sequences of the P and M2 protein-predicted amino acid sequences. The Cys(3)-His(1) motif, thought to be important for binding zinc, was also present in the aMPV M2 predicted protein sequences. For both the P and M2-1 protein-predicted amino acid sequences, aMPV/B was most similar to aMPV/A (72 and 89% identity, respectively), having only approximately 52 and 70% identity, respectively, relative to aMPV/C and hMPV. Differences were more marked in the M2-2 proteins, subtype B having 64% identity with subtype A but < or = 25% identity with subtype C and hMPV. The A and B subtypes of aMPV had predicted amino acid sequence identities for the SH protein of 47%, and less than 20% with that of hMPV. An SH gene was not detected in the aMPV/C. Phylogenetically, aMPV/B clustered with aMPV/A, while aMPV/C grouped with hMPV.  相似文献

The complete nucleotide sequence of cherry leaf roll virus (CLRV, genus Nepovirus) from a naturally infected cherry tree (Prunus avium cv. Bing) in North America was determined. RNA1 and RNA2 consist of 7,893 and 6,492 nucleotides, respectively, plus a poly-(A) tail. Each RNA encodes a single potential open reading frame. The first 657 nucleotides of RNA1 and RNA2 are 99% identical and include the 5′-UTR and the first 214 deduced amino acids of the polyproteins following the first of two in-frame start codons. Phylogenetic analysis reveals close relationships between CLRV and members of subgroup C of the genus Nepovirus.  相似文献

Pre-core/core mutants are frequently observed in patients with fulminant hepatitis. To investigate the extent of molecular characteristics of hepatitis B virus (HBV) genomes implicated in the development of fulminant hepatitis, full-length HBV genomes were sequenced directly from sera of two patients with epidemic fatal fulminant hepatitis, after amplification by the polymerase chain reaction. These two genomes, of 3215 nucleotides, were 99.6% identical, indicating that a common source of HBV potentially caused fulminant hepatitis. Thirty unique nucleotide mutations were commonly found in the two entire HBV genomes. Three were located in the stem-loop structure, changing this element to a more stable structure. Twenty-five unique amino acid substitutions were found in each open reading frame, except for the X and pre-surface 2 genes. One was located in the pre-surface 1 gene; two were in the surface gene; three were in the pre-core gene, including codons 28 (tryptophan to stop codon) and 29 (glycine to aspartic acid); eight were in the core gene; and 11 were in the polymerase gene. The pre-core mutations at codons 28 and 29 were common to the two HBV strains reported previously in patients with epidemic fulminant hepatitis. Thus, HBV genomes associated with epidemic fatal fulminant hepatitis have numerous unique mutations, located mainly in the polymerase gene, as well as the pre-core/core gene, including mutations in the stem-loop structure of the pregenome encapsidation signal sequence. These mutations may be associated with the development of fulminant hepatitis. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.  相似文献

The length of the published glycoprotein (G) gene sequences of avian metapneumovirus subtype-C (aMPV-C) isolated from domestic turkeys and wild birds in the United States (1996-2003) remains controversial. To explore the G gene size variation in aMPV-C by the year of isolation and cell culture passage levels, we examined 21 turkey isolates of aMPV-C at different cell culture passages. The early domestic turkey isolates of aMPV-C (aMPV/CO/1996, aMPV/MN/1a-b, and 2a-b/97) had a G gene of 1,798 nucleotides (nt) that coded for a predicted protein of 585 amino acids (aa) and showed >97% nt similarity with that of aMPV-C isolated from Canada geese. This large G gene got truncated upon serial passages in Vero cell cultures by deletion of 1,015 nt near the end of the open reading frame. The recent domestic turkey isolates of aMPV-C lacked the large G gene but instead had a small G gene of 783 nt, irrespective of cell culture passage levels. In some cultures, both large and small genes were detected, indicating the existence of a mixed population of the virus. Apparently, serial passage of aMPV-C in cell cultures and natural passage in turkeys in the field led to truncation of the G gene, which may be a mechanism of virus evolution for survival in a new host or environment.  相似文献

The suspected presence of avian influenza virus subtype H9N2 in poultry in Egypt is a major concern since this subtype is widely distributed in different countries in the Middle East, here we describe the full genetic characterization of an avian influenza A virus (Qa/Egypt/11; H9N2) of subtype H9N2 that was previously isolated from a clinically normal quail flock in Giza, Egypt in May 2011. The nucleotide sequence analysis of the hemagglutinin gene of the isolated Egyptian virus showed the highest similarity with one group of recent Israeli strains (97?%) circulating from 2006-2010. Sequence homology and phylogenetic analysis indicated that the Qa/Egypt/11 isolate belonged to the A/quail/Hong Kong/G1/1997-like lineage with new mutations identified in all viral proteins. The phylogenetic analysis for the eight genes indicated placement of the Egyptian virus within the same lineage of H9N2 viruses that circulated in the region from 2006, especially with one group of recent Israeli strains. However, phylogenetic analysis of the internal genes like PB2, NP, and PA genes identified possible reassortment events for these genes with singular Israeli strains. This study indicates progressive evolution of this subtype in the Middle East region and possible mechanism of virus adaptation in land-based poultry like in quails.  相似文献

Summary. Chandipura virus (CHPV) and Isfahan virus (ISFV) are two members of the genus Vesiculovirus from Asia. Both are arthropod-transmitted and are able to infect humans, but neither causes vesicular stomatitis in livestock. The complete genome sequence for each virus has been determined. The negative-sense RNA genome comprises 11,119nt (CHPV) or 11,088nt (ISFV). The most variable of the non-transcribed regions is the intergenic spacer at the G–L gene junction (4 bases in ISFV, 20 in CHPV). Phylogenetic analysis of deduced protein sequences shows that although CHPV and ISFV are distinct viruses, they are more related to each other than either is to the New World vesicular stomatitis viruses (VSV). The South American virus, Piry virus, is more closely related to the Asian viruses ISFV and CHPV, than it is to VSV.  相似文献

Complete nucleotide sequence of the cucumber necrosis virus genome   总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8  
D M Rochon  J H Tremaine 《Virology》1989,169(2):251-259
The complete nucleotide sequence of the cucumber necrosis virus (CNV) genome has been determined. The genome is 4701 nucleotides in length and contains five long open reading frames (ORF). ORF1 begins at the first AUG codon at the 5' terminus and terminates at an amber codon. The predicted molecular weight of the polyprotein encoded by ORF1 is 33 kilodaltons (kDa). Readthrough of the ORF1 amber codon would yield a protein with a molecular weight of 92 kDa. Comparison of the amino acid sequence of the 92-kDa protein with the putative replicases of carnation mottle virus (CarMV) and barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) shows extensive sequence similarity. This suggests that the CNV 92-kDa protein is the viral replicase and, furthermore, suggests a close evolutionary relationship between CNV, CarMV, and BYDV, members of the Tombus-, Carmo-, and Luteovirus groups, respectively. Immediately following the 92-kDa protein is ORF3 which can encode a 40-kDa protein. It is identified as the coat protein based on its similarity in amino acid composition to the previously determined CNV coat protein sequence (J. H. Tremaine, 1972, Virology 48, 582-590) and on its amino acid sequence similarity with the tomato bushy stunt virus coat protein. Two nested ORFs (ORF4 and -5), in different frames, follow the coat protein gene. Although it is not known if both ORFs are expressed, they would encode proteins with predicted molecular weights of 21 and 20 kDa, respectively.  相似文献

We determined the complete nucleotide sequences of the small (S) and medium (M) RNA genome segments of a Kairi virus (KRIV) isolate from the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. The S segment consists of 992 nucleotides, and the M segment consists of 4,619 nucleotides. Phylogenetic analyses were conducted on each genomic segment, and these data are discussed. A 526 nucleotide region of the large (L) segment was also sequenced. This is the first study to present sequence and phylogenetic data for a KRIV isolate from Latin America.  相似文献

The nucleotide sequences encoding four structural proteins (VP1-4) and six nonstructural proteins (NSP1-6) of avian rotavirus PO-13 were determined. Based on the results of earlier sequencing studies [Ito et al., 1995, Sequence analysis of cDNA for the VP6 protein of group A avian rota viruses. Arch. Vriol. 140, 605-612; Rohwedder et al., 1997, Chicken rotavirus Ch-1 shows a second type of avian VP6 gene, Virus Genes 15, 65-71; Rohwedder et al., 1997, Bovine rotavirus 993/83 shows a third subtype of avian VP7 protein, Virus Genes 14, 147-151], determination of PO-13 genome sequence has been completed. The PO-13 genome is 18845 nucleotides in length. It is 290 nucleotides longer than the genome of SA11. The amino acid sequence homology between PO-13 and mammalian rotaviruses ranged from 76-77% (VP1) to 16-18% (NSP1). The features of gene and amino acid sequence were compared with those of the corresponding protein of mammalian rotaviruses. Based on results of the phylogenetic analyses of NSP1, we speculate that an ancestral rotavirus could have separated into groups A, B and C rotaviruses at an early evolutionary stage and that group A rotavirus separated into mammalian and avian rotaviruses with host evolution.  相似文献

Complete nucleotide sequence of the Japanese encephalitis virus genome RNA   总被引:39,自引:0,他引:39  
The complete nucleotide sequence of the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) genome RNA was determined. The JEV genome contains 10,976 nucleotides and encodes a single long open reading frame (ORF) of 10,296 nucleotides corresponding to 3432 amino acid residues. This long polypeptide is thought to be cleaved into three structural proteins and several nonstructural proteins of the virus. The genetic location of the three structural proteins was determined by comparing the deduced amino acid sequence from the nucleotide sequence with the N-terminal amino acid sequences that were determined from the three purified structural proteins. The C-terminal region of the ORF may encode a RNA-dependent RNA polymerase which has significant sequence homology with those of other RNA viruses.  相似文献

Butterbur mosaic virus (ButMV), a member of the genus Carlavirus, was isolated from Japanese butterbur. Here we report the complete nucleotide sequence and genome organization of ButMV. The genome of ButMV consists of 8,662 nucleotides in length and is predicted to contain six ORFs. The ButMV replicase and CP genes share 46.4–54.9 and 43.2–62.1% nucleotide and 38.6–46.6 and 31.3–65.0% amino acid sequence identities, respectively, with those of other carlaviruses. Based on phylogenetic analysis, we suggested that ButMV replicase and CP is most closely related to coleus vein necrosis virus and carnation latent virus, respectively. Together, our results demonstrate that ButMV was a distinct species of the genus Carlavirus.  相似文献
