Human cytomegalovirus a sequence and UL144 variability in strains from infected children 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) displays genetic polymorphisms. This variability may contribute to strain-specific tissue tropism and disease expression in HCMV-infected humans. To determine strain variability in a sequence and UL144 gene regions, 51 low-passage isolates from 44 HCMV-infected children were studied. Isolates were obtained from 28 healthy children attending child care centers in Iowa and from 16 congenitally infected infants born in Texas. Isolates demonstrated substantial nucleotide variation in each gene region. Phylogenetic analysis of a sequence variability allowed 39 isolates to be grouped into six clades. The largest clade contained 16 isolates with > or = 95% nucleotide homology. Forty-eight of the 49 HCMV isolates yielding UL144 amplicons was grouped according to the clades described a few years ago [Lurain et al. (1999) Journal of Virology 73:10040-10050]. No linkage was observed among a sequence, UL144, and glycoprotein B (gB; UL55) polymorphisms. Four Texas and 11 Iowa isolates displayed > or = 95% sequence homology for a sequence and UL144 regions and possessed identical gB genotypes. No relationship between UL144 polymorphisms and outcome of congenital HCMV infection was observed. These data indicate that HCMV strains circulating among young children have UL144 polymorphisms similar to those of HCMV strains excreted by immunocompromised adults. Identification of conserved nucleotide sequences among Iowa and Texas children suggests genetic stability and biologic importance of these gene regions. 相似文献

Summary. Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) open reading frame (ORF) UL11 locates within a polymorphic region of the viral genome identified
previously by a restriction-fragment-length-polymorphism. We report here that ORF UL11 encodes a polymorphic protein expressed
on the surface of HCMV-infected cells. First, we determined the nucleotide sequence of ORF UL11 from ten strains and compared
it among the strains. Out of 205 amino acids consisting of the predicted N-terminal region beside the putative transmembrane
stretch in strain AD169, 88 residues were divergent on more than one strain. In contrast, the predicted C-terminal side including
the putative transmembrane domain was identical at the amino acid sequence level. In addition, the number and location of
predicted cysteine residue were also conserved. Next, we screened a cDNA library from HCMV-infected cells and obtained a cDNA
clone containing the full-length ORF UL11. Finally, we identified the gene product of UL11 on the surface of HCMV-infected
cells by FACS analysis with polyclonal antibodies generated against a glutathione S-transferase/UL11 fusion protein. The fusion
protein contained a region within the N-terminal side next to the predicted transmembrane stretch. These results indicate
that the N-terminal side of UL11 protein containing variable amino acid residues protrudes from the infected cell surface.

Summary. The cDNA nucleotide sequence of the genome segment B encoding the VP1 protein, the putative RNA-dependent RNA polymerase
(RdRp), was determined for 5 marine birnavirus (MABV) strains from different host or geographic origins and 1 infectious pancreatic
necrosis virus (IPNV) strain AM-98. Segment B of the IPNV AM-98 strain and 4 MABV strains, Y-6, YT-01A, H1 and NC1, contained
a 2535 bp ORF, which encoded a protein of 845 amino acid residues with a predicted MW of 94.4 kDa. Only the MABV AY-98 RdRp
had 1 amino acid shorter RdRp. Pairwise comparisons were made among our data and 4 other known IPNV sequences. The nucleotide
sequences of the 5 MABV strains were very similar each other, with identities of 98.3–99.7%. The highest divergence of the
nucleotide level was between MABV strains and IPNV SP strain (serotype A2), with 20.4–20.8% divergences in the coding region,
which gave 10.1–11.3% divergence in the amino acid level. The aquabirnavirus RdRp was noticeably conserved in amino acid sequences.
Though the identities of the nucleotide sequences of encoding region were 85.1–85.9% between MABV strains and IPNV serotype
A1 strains, they shared as high as 95.1–95.9% identities in amino acid level. A phylogenetic tree was constructed based on
the amino acid sequences of the RdRp gene from different birnaviruses including avibirnavirus and entomobirnavirus. Ten aquabirnavirus
strains were clustered into 3 Genogroups. The Genogroup I consisted of four IPNV A1 serotype strains. All MABV strains were
clustered into Genogroup II. Only IPNV SP strain was clustered into an independent Genogroup III.

Summary. Genome sequences of three Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) strains were compared. The Type and Sidney 81 strains of WSMV from the American Great Plains were closely related,
with sequence identities of 97.6% (nucleotide) and 98.7% (amino acid). In contrast, the El Batán 3 strain from central Mexico
was divergent, and shared only 79.2–79.3% (nucleotide) and 90.3–90.5% (amino acid) sequence identity with Type and Sidney
81. All three WSMV strains were serologically related, however the El Batán 3 capsid protein (CP) had 15 fewer amino acid
residues. Phylogenetic analysis of the CP cistron indicated that Type, Sidney 81, and nine other American isolates of WSMV
were closely related and distinct from the El Batán 3 sequence. Nucleotide substitutions among the WSMV strains were not randomly
distributed across the genome with more variation within P1, HC-Pro, and CP, and less within P3. One 400-nucleotide region
of the genome, corresponding to the 3′-end of P3, was strikingly deficient in silent substitutions. Nonetheless, the ratio
of synonymous to non-synonymous substitutions throughout the genome was essentially the same for all three WSMV strains. Collectively,
our data indicate that both genetic drift and negative selection have contributed to the evolution of WSMV strains.

The main aim of the present study were to investigate sequence diversity in the Meq gene of Marek’s disease viruses (MDV) isolated in China and to determine the most prevalent MDV strains. The 19 MDV strains
were isolated from dead or diseased chickens from different chicken farms in China during 2006–2008, and the Meq gene was sequenced from each of these strains. Sequence analysis showed that all of the isolates contained an open reading
frame of 1020 nucleotides, which encoded a 339 amino acid peptide. Compared with reference MDV strains, 12 of the 19 MDV isolates
possessed two amino acid substitutions, (T → A) at position 139 and (P → R) at position 176, one isolate shared sequence similarity
with the attenuated strain CVI988, and five of the other six isolates exhibited one amino acid change (P → T) at position
177 or 176. The 19 MDV isolates shared between 99.0 and 100% nucleotide sequence homology, and between 97.7 and 100% amino
acid sequence homology. The nucleotide and amino acid sequence identity between the 19 MDV isolates and the 25 reference MDV
strains varied from 97.6 to 100% and 94.4 to 100%, respectively. Based on the phylogenetic relationships between Meq gene sequences, Chinese MDV isolates constituted a separate clade to MDV reference strains, demonstrating that a different
genotype of MDV was prevalent in China between 2006 and 2008. 相似文献

Summary. A continuous 20.9 kb sequence from human herpesvirus 6 variant B (HHV-6B) strain Z29 (GenBank accession number L16947) is
genetically colinear with a discrete segment of the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) UL region and with HHV-6 variant A (HHV-6A).
Short nucleotide sequence determinations at multiple sites within an 8.5 kb region immediately 3′ to the 20.9 kb contig revealed
additional colinearity between HHV-6B, HCMV and HHV-6A. Homology studies with the predicted peptide sequences from 11 complete
and 12 partial HHV-6B open reading frames (ORFs) revealed that most encode proteins conserved to varying degrees in all previously
sequenced primate herpesviruses. HHV-6B homologs were identified for the HSV-1 ICP18.5, ICP8, UL52, UL24, UL25 and major capsid
protein. Several HHV-6B proteins had limited amino acid similarity to their positional homologs in other herpesviruses. Each
gene identified is highly homologous to its HHV-6A counterpart, including two unique HHV-6 genes predicted to encode membrane-associated
glycoproteins. However, two regions of substantial divergence were noted, one spanning the origin of replication and the other
encoding one of the putative HHV-6-specific glycoprotein genes. Substitutions in the latter region lead to predicted differences
in reading frames and protein lengths among HHV-6 isolates.

Summary. Sweet potato mild mottle virus (SPMMV) is the type member of the genus Ipomovirus (family Potyviridae) and is only known to occur in East Africa. In Uganda, SPMMV is the third most prevalent virus infecting sweet potato. The
sequence variability of SPMMV was studied by cloning and sequencing a 1.8-kb fragment representing the 3′-end of the genome
of eight SPMMV isolates collected from different districts of Uganda. Sequence comparisons indicated 85.9–99.9% nucleotide
sequence identity and 92.8–100% amino acid sequence similarity for the coat protein (CP) encoding region. The nucleotide sequence
identity within the 3′-untranslated region (3′ UTR) was 84.7–100%, and the region was variable in length (303–308 nucleotides)
due to some deletions within the 5′-proximal part of the 3′ UTR. Phylogenetic analysis of the CP amino acid sequences revealed
significant clustering, indicating the existence of distinguishable sequence variants or strains. The low CP amino acid sequence
similarity of SPMMV isolates with other characterised viruses of the family Potyviridae and the unusual putative proteolytic cleavage site at the NIb/CP junction further demonstrate SPMMV as a very distinct virus
in the family Potyviridae.

Summary. We previously reported the relatively high prevalence (15%) of bovine G6 subtypes (G6s) in the field using RT-PCR and restriction
fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis (Chang et al., Arch. Virol. 141: 1727–39). In the present study, we report the
nucleotide and antigenic characterization of a G6s strain (C-8336). We also sequenced the VP7 genes of four additional bovine
rotavirus (BRV) strains: another G6s (MC27), G6 (IND), G8 (C-8008) and G10 (2292B) and compared these with other bovine and
human rotavirus strains. The C-8336 and MC27 strains were confirmed as P[11]G6s by RT-PCR and RFLP analysis. The VP7 genes
of the C-8336 and MC27 strains showed high homology to each other (∼98%) and with other bovine G6s strains (greater than 95%
homology in nucleotide and amino acid sequence with KN-4{P[11]G6s}) and also showed lower, but substantial sequence homology
with human G6s strains and prototype G6 BRV (79–87% in nucleotide and 88–91% in amino acid). Serologic analysis of the cell
culture adapted C-8336 strain showed that it was neutralized by a G6 monoclonal antibody (MAb IC3) to similar titers as the
reference NCDV and IND G6 strains. In two-way cross-neutralization tests, strain C-8336 showed 4- to 16-fold differences in
antibody titers with NCDV and IND G6 BRV. Moreover polyclonal antiserum against strain C-8336 neutralized the NCDV and IND
strains weakly. Genetic variability was also observed among G8 and G10 bovine and human group A rotaviruses: the VP7 genes
of the bovine C-8008 (P[5]G8) and 2292 B (P[11]G10) strains showed from 10 to 17% nucleotide divergence with those of Cody
I801 (P[1]G8, bovine), A5 (P[1]G8, bovine), 69 M (P[10]G8, human) and Hal 1166 (P[14]G8, human), and I321(P[11]G10, human)
and MC35 (P[14]G10, human) rotaviruses, respectively. The divergence of VP7 genes among bovine and human G6, G8 and G10 strains
appears related to host species origin and their combination with VP4 (P type). The data presented in this report confirms
the genetic variability among homotypic bovine and human strains and highlights the importance of continued monitoring of
BRV G and P types circulating in the field for the future development and monitoring of effective vaccines.

BACKGROUND: Clinical isolates of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) display polymorphisms in multiple genes. Some authors have suggested that polymorphisms are implicated in HCMV-induced immunopathogenesis, as well as in strain-specific behaviors, such as tissue-tropism and the ability to establish persistent or latent infections. OBJECTIVE: To describe the features of HCMV UL148A, UL148B, UL148C and UL148D open reading frames (ORFs) and the variable sites within the frames in clinical strains. STUDY DESIGN: PCR was performed to amplify these ORFs in 22 clinical strains. PCR amplification products were sequenced directly and analyzed. RESULTS: The nucleotide diversity of UL148A, UL148B, UL148C and UL148D ORFs in studied strains is 0.5-8.3%, 0.5-4.6%, 0.5-3% and 1.7-8.1%, respectively; the amino acid diversity of their putative proteins is 1.3-6.3%, 1.3-5.0%, 1.3-3.9% and 1.7-8.1%, respectively, related to the Merlin strain. The modification sites of UL148A, UL148B, UL148C and UL148D predicted proteins from strains in unpassaged urine samples were conserved, except for strain U96, compared with that of the Merlin strain. By phylogenetic and statistical analysis, the UL148A and UL148D sequences of clinical strains were classified into three groups. CONCLUSION: Compared to the UL148A, UL148B and UL148D ORFs, the UL148C ORF was relatively conserved, as was the amino acid sequence of the UL148C putative protein. Isolates that have been passaged several times in human embryonic lung fibroblasts (HELF) showed some changes of modification sites, however. A discrete linkage was found between the groups of UL148A gene and those of UL148D gene. 相似文献

Triple gene block 1 (TGB1) and coat protein (CP) sequences of 30 hosta virus X (HVX) isolates from Tennessee (TN), USA, were
determined and compared with available sequences in GenBank. The CPs of all known HVX isolates, including those from TN, shared
98.3–100% and 98.2–100% nucleotide and amino acid sequence identity, respectively, whereas TGB1 shared 97.4–100% nucleotide
and 97–100% amino acid sequence identity. TGB1 of TN isolates were all longer by one codon from that of a Korean isolate,
which is the only sequence publicly available. Phylogenetic analysis of nucleotide and amino acid sequences of TGB1 and CP
of all known HVX isolates, separately or combined, revealed a close relationship, suggesting that all of them are derived
from a common ancestor. Phylogenetic analysis with the type member of each genus of the family Flexiviridae confirmed that HVX is a member of a distinct species of the genus Potexvirus. 相似文献

Summary. The sequence of a 20.15 kb region from human herpesvirus 6 variant B (HHV-6B) strain Z29 is described (GenBank accession
number L14772). Determinations of protein homologies for seventeen predicted gene products revealed HHV-6B homologs of six
proteins well-conserved both in genetic context and amino acid sequence throughout the alpha-, beta-, and gammaherpesvirus
subfamilies. These include proteins involved in viral DNA replication, packaging and nucleotide metabolism, and conserved
proteins of undefined function. The close evolutionary relationship of the human betaherpesviruses, HHV-6B, HHV-6A, HHV-7
and human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) was confirmed by identification of several protein sequences encoded only by these viruses,
including homologs of the HCMV early phosphoprotein family and a series of HCMV open reading frames predicted to encode glycoprotein
exons. Homologs of essential HSV-1 replication proteins, UL8 and UL9, were also identified. Downstream from the conserved
replication locus, each betaherpesvirus contains a region of divergent, small open reading frames. The evolution of this region
and its potential use in the development of a viral vector system are discussed.

The infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) spike glycoprotein S1 subunit is required to initiate infection and contains virus-neutralizing
and serotype-specific epitope(s). Reported are the S1 gene nucleotide and predicted amino acid sequences for the Florida 18288
strain and isolates GA-92, CV-56b, CV-9437, CV-1686, and 1013. These sequences were compared with previously published gene
sequences of IBV strains, and phylogenetic relationships are reported. The S1 amino acid sequence of Florida 18288 was 94.9%
similar to the Connecticut strain, and GA-92 was 92.8% similar to the Arkansas 99 strain. S1 amino acid sequences of the California
variants, CV-56b, CV-9437, and CV-1686, were 97.6–99.3% similar to one another and only 76.6%–76.8% similar to the Arkansas-type
strains. Isolate 1013, also from California, was 84.0% similar to Ark DPI and 77.9% similar to CV-56b. When comparing 19 viruses
isolated from the United States, sequence variations were observed between amino acids 55–96, 115–149, 255–309, and 378–395.
Similar regions are reported to be involved in virus-neutralizing and/or serotype-specific epitopes. These data demonstrate
that variant IBV strains continue to emerge, and unique variants may circulate among poultry in geographically isolated areas.

The continuous emergence of new strains of canine parvovirus (CPV), poorly protected by current vaccination, is a concern
among breeders, veterinarians, and dog owners around the world. Therefore, the understanding of the genetic variation in emerging
CPV strains is crucial for the design of disease control strategies, including vaccines. In this paper, we obtained the sequences
of the full-length gene encoding for the main capsid protein (VP2) of 11 canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) Argentine representative
field strains, selected from a total of 75 positive samples studied in our laboratory in the last 9 years. A comparative sequence
analysis was performed on 9 CPV-2c, one CPV-2a, and one CPV-2b Argentine strains with respect to international strains reported
in the GenBank database. In agreement with previous reports, a high degree of identity was found among CPV-2c Argentine strains
(99.6–100% and 99.7–100% at nucleotide and amino acid levels, respectively). However, the appearance of a new substitution
in the 440 position (T440A) in four CPV-2c Argentine strains obtained after the year 2009 gives support to the variability
observed for this position located within the VP2, three-fold spike. This is the first report on the genetic characterization
of the full-length VP2 gene of emerging CPV strains in South America and shows that all the Argentine CPV-2c isolates cluster
together with European and North American CPV-2c strains. 相似文献

Summary. The complete nucleotide sequence of the genome of a Taiwan isolate of papaya ringspot potyvirus (PRSV YK) was determined
from three overlapping cDNA clones and by direct RNA sequencing. Comparison was made with the reported Hawaii isolate of PRSV
HA. Both genomes are 10 326 nucleotides long, excluding the poly(A)-tail. They encode a polyprotein of 3 344 amino acids with
a 5′ leader of 85 nucleotides and a 3′ non-translated region of 209 nucleotides. The two genomes share an overall nucleotide
identity of 83.4% and an amino acid identity of 90.6%. The 3′ non-translated regions show 92.3% identity. The first 23 nucleotides
of the leaders are identical, while the remaining parts of the leaders only show 51.6% identity. The P1 protein genes of the
two isolates are very different, with 70.9% nucleotide identity and 66.7% encoded amino acids identity. However, the other
viral proteins of the two virus isolates are similar, with a 82.5–89.8% nucleotide identity of their genes and 91.2–97.6%
amino acid identity, indicating that they are strains of the same potyvirus. Analysis of the ratios of nucleotide differences
to the actual amino acid changes revealed that there are only 2.63 nucleotide changes for each amino acid change in the P1
protein, whereas for the other proteins 4.0–16.4 nucleotide changes are required for each amino acid replacement. The P1 protein
has 58% of all the differences of polyprotein. The unusual variation in the leader sequences and the P1 proteins suggests
that the two PRSV strains were derived from different evolutionary pathways in different geographic areas.

In order to characterize viral genetic variation among predominant and non-predominant genotypes of Thai dengue serotype 4
viruses (DENV-4) and follow mutations that occur during virus evolution, we performed a comparative analysis of the complete
genomic sequences of six DENV-4 isolates representing three genotypes (I, IIA, and III) co-circulating in Thailand over a
24-year period. The results revealed [1] remarkable genetic variation in the viral genome between predominant and non-predominant genotypes; [2] inter-genotype-specific amino acid and nucleotide mutations in most regions of the viral genome; [3] more amino acid and nucleotide substitutions in later as compared to earlier isolates for predominant genotype I strains;
[4] a single nucleotide substitution at nucleotide position 77 of the 5-′NTR of two non-predominant genotype III strains that
disrupted a small conserved 3′stem–loop (SL) in the cyclization sequence required for virus replication; [5] a high degree of conservation of PrM/M and NS2B proteins, and the 5′-NTR in predominant genotype I strains with no mutations
observed over the 24-year period of observation; and [6] no molecular markers that appeared to correlate with disease severity. Several mutations identified in this study might
have a significant impact on the persistence of virus in the population, including one in the 5′-NTR that disrupted a small,
highly conserved 3′SL2 structure at the terminus of the cyclized 5′–3′ RNA sequences in two genotype III strains, and three
amino acid (aa) charge change mutations in the E and NS5 proteins of genotype I strains. The conserved 3′-SL structure may
be a target for antiviral drug development. 相似文献

Summary To study the genetic variation of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) in Asian populations, the amino-terminal antigenic domains of glycoprotein B of HCMVs isolated from ethnic Chinese transplant patients were cloned and sequenced. The nucleotide and encoded amino acid sequences were compared with published sequences of AD169 and Towne laboratory strains. Within the region sequenced, 9 out of 15 clinical isolates (60%) possessed a peptide configuration similar to that of strain AD169 while 6 isolates (40%) displayed a peptide configuration similar to that of strain Towne. The nucleotide and amino acid identities of AD169-like clinical isolates exhibited variations of 95.4%–99.6% and 95.4%–100% respectively, whereas the identities of Towne-like clinical isolates were within the range of 97.3%–100% and 96.6%–100% at the nucleotide and amino acid levels. The previously defined neutralizing epitope was conserved among the clinical isolates sequenced while unique non-conservative amino acid substitutions were detected in the non-neutralizing epitope within the amino-terminal antigenic domain of glycoprotein B of all AD169-like isolates (Y->S) and one of the Towne-like isolates (R->Q). 相似文献

The nucleotide sequence of a 5,520-bp EcoRI restriction fragment of avian infectious laryngotracheitis (ILTV) DNA was reported
and submitted to GeneBank with an accession number of AF001078. Computer prediction revealed one large potential open reading
frame (ORF) with sequence similar to one subunit of the DNA helicase-primase complex of α-herpesviruses. The DNA helicase/primase
complex of HSV-1 consists of three sub-units with molecular weights of 12,000, 97,000 and 70,000, encoded by genes UL52, UL5
and UL8, respectively. This enzyme complex is essential for herpesvirus DNA replication. The UL52 and UL5-equivalent genes
of ILTV have been reported previously (Fuchs, W. and Mettenleiter, T.C., J Gen Virol, 1996, 77: 2221–2229; Johnson, M.A. et.
al., Arch Virol, 1995, 14: 623–634). Amino acid sequence comparison and homology search revealed that this ORF shares sequence
similarity to the UL8-equivalent gene of α-herpesviruses, that is, the ORF 52 of vericura-zoster virus (VZV), the ORF 54 of
equine herpesvirus type-1 (EHV-1), as well as the equivalent gene of bovine herpesvirus type 1(BHV-1) and canine herpesvirus
(Vlcek, C. et al., Virology, 1995, 210: 100–108; Remond, M. et al., J Gen Virol, 1996, 77: 37–48).
