Defined recombinants of poliovirus and coxsackievirus: sequence-specific deletions and functional substitutions in the 5'-noncoding regions of viral RNAs 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
We describe the isolation of a variant of a polio--coxsackie recombinant virus (PCV110) containing a genomic RNA with a chimeric 5'-noncoding region. The variant virus [designated PCV110(1)] has growth and biosynthetic properties that are quite different from the original, temperature-sensitive isolate of the recombinant virus [designated PCV110(4)]. Nucleotide sequencing of the 5'-noncoding region of RNA from PCV110(1) revealed a 4-base deletion within the substituted coxsackievirus region of the chimeric genome that may contribute to the loss of temperature sensitivity of this variant recombinant virus. In addition, we have generated new recombinant viruses that contain (1) coxsackievirus sequences within the N66-N627 region of the poliovirus genome and (2) coxsackievirus sequences substituted from N1-N627 in the poliovirus genome. These recombinant viruses are not temperature sensitive for growth at 37 degrees and have biosynthetic properties similar to those of wild-type poliovirus. Our results provide evidence that replicase recognition signals encoded in the 5' noncoding regions of enterovirus genomic RNAs are not strictly sequence specific. 相似文献

Poliovirus temperature-sensitive mutant containing a single nucleotide deletion in the 5'-noncoding region of the viral RNA 总被引:34,自引:0,他引:34
The effect on viral replication of deleting nucleotide 10 of the poliovirus RNA genome was determined. This deletion, which removes a base pair from a predicted hairpin structure in the viral RNA, was introduced into full-length cDNA. Virus recovered after transfection of HeLa cells with the mutated cDNA contained the expected deletion and was temperature sensitive for plaque formation. Analysis of viral replication by one-step growth experiments indicated that mutant virus production at the nonpermissive temperature was at least 100 times less than that of wild type virus, and release of virus from mutant-infected cells was delayed. The synthesis of positive- and negative-strand viral RNA in mutant virus-infected cells was temperature sensitive. Virus-specific protein synthesis in mutant virus-infected cells was not temperature sensitive but occurred at a slower rate than that of wild type virus at permissive and nonpermissive temperatures. Replication of the mutant virus was sensitive to actinomycin D, in contrast to the wild type parent virus, which was resistant to the drug. Mutant virus stocks contained a small percentage of ts+ viruses that were able to form plaques at the nonpermissive temperature. Nucleotide sequence analysis of genomic RNA from these ts+ viruses revealed a single base change at position 34 from a G to U. In the positive RNA strand, the effect of this mutation is to restore to the hairpin structure the single base pair whose formation was prevented by the original deletion. The ts+ pseudorevertants replicated to similar titers as wild type virus at 33 and 38.5 degrees and were partially sensitive to actinomycin D. 相似文献

Poliovirus translation initiation: differential effects of directed and selected mutations in the 5' noncoding region of viral RNAs. 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
We have analyzed the translational defects of a number of mutations in the 5' noncoding region of poliovirus type 1 RNA. These mutations fall into three categories: (1) two mutations which resulted in temperature sensitive (ts) viruses, (2) the second-site mutations responsible for the reversion of the two ts viruses, and (3) mutations which were lethal to virus production. RNAs containing either of the ts mutations translated in vitro at levels significantly lower than wild-type levels. RNAs containing the respective second-site reversions had corrected these translational defects to levels corresponding to their viral growth potentials. Unlike in vitro translation of wild-type poliovirus RNA, translation of the RNAs which gave rise to ts mutant viruses was not stimulated by the addition of an S10 fraction from an uninfected HeLa cell extract to a rabbit reticulocyte lysate (RRL). In vitro translation of the mutant RNAs (corresponding to the ts viruses) in a RRL was stimulated by factors present in a ribosomal salt wash (RSW) from a HeLa extract, although the levels of stimulation were only half those seen for wild-type. These results suggest that the stimulatory factors present in the RSW have a decreased affinity for the mutant RNA templates but can, to some extent interact, with such RNAs if provided in high enough concentration. The in vitro translation of RNAs containing either of the lethal mutations was not stimulated by factors present in the S10 or the RSW. Taken together, our data suggest a correlation between the ability of a genetically altered RNA to respond to translation stimulatory factors in vitro and the ability of that mutation to be recovered in infectious virus. In addition, we have identified the in vivo-selected reversion of translational defects for two different ts viruses. 相似文献

Translation deficiency of the Sabin type 3 poliovirus genome: association with an attenuating mutation C472----U 总被引:26,自引:0,他引:26
Previous studies have shown that the genome of Sabin type 3 poliovaccine strain (P3/Leon 12a1b) possesses a diminished translation efficiency as compared to genomes of closely related neurovirulent strains, the neurovirulent progenitor (P3/Leon/37), or a revertant (P3/119/70) of the vaccine (Y.V. Svitkin, S.V. Maslova, and V.I. Agol, 1985, Virology 147, 243-252). Here we attempted to evaluate the contribution of each mutation in the genome of the vaccine to this translation deficiency. Recombinants between P3/Leon 12a1b and P3/Leon/37 or P3/119/70 were constructed in vitro and their RNAs were translated in a cell-free system derived from Krebs-2 cells. The results show that of 10 nucleotide differences between the genomes of P3/Leon 12a1b and P3/Leon/37 9 have minor or no effect on translation and that the only mutation of significance is C472----U which is known to reduce the neurovirulence of the virus. Reversion from uridine to cytosine at position 472 in type 3 poliovaccine upon replication in the human gut resulted in an increase of both translation efficiency of polio RNAs and neurovirulence of corresponding strains. The data provide evidence for a common nucleotide sequence regulatory element for protein synthesis of the virus and its neurovirulence. In vitro translation assays may therefore prove to be useful for detection of attenuating mutations in the 5' noncoding region of poliovirus genome. The apparent involvement of the translation mechanism in the expression of neurovirulent or attenuated phenotype of poliovirus is briefly discussed. 相似文献

Sequence of the 3' untranslated region of brome mosaic virus coat protein messenger RNA 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The 3' terminal 337 bases of BMV (brome mosaic virus) coat protein mRNA (BMV RNA4) are presented. This sequence includes the terminal portion of the coat protein cistron and the complete 300-base 3' noncoding sequence. The 3' noncoding sequence displays significant complementarity to the 5' terminal sequence of BMV RNA3 but not to the 5' terminal sequence of BMV RNA4. 相似文献

Nucleotide sequence of the glycoprotein gene and intergenic region of the Lassa virus S genome RNA 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Two overlapping cDNA clones corresponding to the 5' region of the Lassa virus S genome RNA were isolated and their nucleotide sequences determined. Similar to Pichinde and lymphocytic choriomeningitis viruses (LCMV), Lassa virus has an ambisense S RNA. The precursor to the viral glycoproteins (GPC) is encoded in viral RNA sequence originating at position 56 and terminating at position 1529 from the 5' terminus of the S RNA. A short, noncoding, intergenic region capable of forming a hairpin structure separates the termination codons of the nucleoprotein (N) and GPC genes. Hydropathic analysis of the GPC gene product of Lassa virus indicates the presence of hydrophobic domains near the amino and carboxy termini as previously noted in the corresponding proteins of Pichinde and LCM viruses. A comparison of the nucleotide sequences on the 3' termini of the viral and viral-complimentary S RNA species of Lassa, LCM, and Pichinde viruses reveals slight sequence differences that may possibly be involved in the regulation of RNA synthesis and gene expression. 相似文献

Isolation and characterization of 'dense particles' from poliovirus-infected HeLa cells. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Dense poliovirus particles (buoyant density 1.44 g/ml in CsCl) isolated from infected HeLa cells contain the normal four structural polypeptides VP1 to VP4, and 35S poliovirus RNA. In addition, small amounts of VPo and single-stranded RNA sedimenting slower than the poliovirus genome are present. Dense particles have a low specific infectivity, are neutralized by type-specific poliovirus antisera, and are detected during growth as early as normal virus but disappear when virus production stops. They appear to represent a different, more open, conformation of the normal virus capsid. 相似文献

Comparative sequence analysis of the 5' noncoding region of the enteroviruses and rhinoviruses 总被引:31,自引:0,他引:31
A comparative sequence analysis of the 5' noncoding region of a subgroup of the picornaviruses, including the polioviruses, coxsackie B3, and the human rhinoviruses, reveals the conservation of certain features despite the divergence of sequence. In this subgroup, for which nine complete sequences are available, two long stretches of sequence, two pyrimidine-rich regions, and 22 hairpins are conserved. Based on these results, similar secondary structures encompassing the entire 5' noncoding regions of these viruses are predicted. The fact that sequence divergence occurred only in a manner that allowed conservation of these structures implicates a biologically functional role for this region. The possible roles it may have in the picornavirus life cycle are discussed. 相似文献

Polioviruses are single-stranded RNA viruses with an unusually long noncoding region (NCR) at the 5' end predicted to have an elaborate secondary structure made up of six domains. Mutations in domain V of the poliovirus 5'NCR that disrupt secondary structure are responsible for attenuation of the virus and a temperature-sensitive (ts) phenotype in vitro. In addition to direct back mutation or compensatory second site mutation in the 5'NCR as previously documented, the ts phenotype was found to be compensated for in monkey kidney cells in vitro by a coding change in the protease 2A. These coding changes were found throughout the protease with no obvious pattern or trend. They were not all found to be equivalent and limited in ability to compensate for the severest domain V disruption. The compensatory effect of the 2A changes was found to be cell specific, having no effect on monkey neurovirulence and in a mouse cell line but a significant effect in two monkey cell lines and a human epithelial line. 相似文献

Derivatives of Sabin 3 shed from recipients of oral poliovirus vaccine in the United States (U.S.) were examined for genetic changes identified in strains excreted by vaccinees in the United Kingdom [U.K.; Evans et al., 1985; Cammack et al., 1988, Macadam et al., 1989]. Among the eight primary vaccinees studied, the duration of excretion and molecular evolution of type 3 strains varied greatly. The period of virus excretion after vaccination ranged from as few as 2 days to as many as 36 days. Nucleotide sequence analysis of viral RNAs extracted from shed virus indicated that only fifty percent of the vaccinees exclusively excreted strains in which the attenuating mutation at nucleotide 472 in the 5' noncoding region of the genome had reverted from uracil (U) to cytosine (C), the nucleotide found in neurovirulent strains. Compared to the wild-type Leon strain, the low activity of stool isolate KW4 in a complete monkey neurovirulence test demonstrated that presence of C at 472 does not render a type 3 strain pathogenic. Conversely, an isolate was identified which efficiently replicated in monkey nervous tissue and maintained the attenuated U at 472. Oligonucleotide fingerprinting and sequence analysis of viral RNAs from stool isolates indicated that one vaccinee (KW) eventually excreted intertypic recombinant strains consistent with those reported in the U.K. studies. Unique to this study, one vaccinee (KS) excreted nonrecombinant virus possessing U at 472 for up to 21 days. The significance of the KS strain profile in relation to differences in the U.S. vaccine compared to the vaccine distributed in the U.K. and other countries is discussed. 相似文献

A cellular protein that binds to the 5'-noncoding region of poliovirus RNA: implications for internal translation initiation 总被引:65,自引:0,他引:65
Initiation of translation on poliovirus mRNA occurs by internal binding of ribosomes to a region within the 5'-noncoding portion of the mRNA. The mechanistic details and trans-acting factors involved in this event are not understood fully. We used a mobility-shift electrophoresis assay to identify a specific RNA-protein complex, which can form between an RNA fragment that contains nucleotides 559-624 of the poliovirus 5' UTR (untranslated region) and a component or components of a HeLa cell extract. Complex formation was reduced greatly in a reticulocyte lysate or a wheat-germ extract. A 52-kD polypeptide (p52) has been identified as part of the protein-RNA complex by use of an UV cross-linking assay. This polypeptide apparently is not a known translation initiation or elongation factor. The possible involvement of p52 in translation initiation of poliovirus protein synthesis is discussed. 相似文献

Anisomycin has been shown to stabilize ribosome initiation complexes containing messenger RNA and met-tRNAf met to high salt conditions. Extracts from HeLa cells treated with 5 X 10(-7) M-anisomycin for 15 min accumulate 80S initiation complexes which can be detected by their absorbance in sucrose gradients. Poliovirus-infected cells fail to form the 80S initiation complex early after infection, when inhibition of host cell protein synthesis occurs. These complexes re-form later in infection after virus RNA is synthesized. No re-formation occurs in the absence of virus replication. Thus, the step in protein synthesis inhibited by poliovirus precedes the entry of components into the 80S initiation complex. 相似文献

cis-acting sequences required for in vivo amplification of genomic RNA3 are organized differently in related bromoviruses 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV) is a positive-strand RNA virus that infects dicotyledonous plants. The genome comprises three capped RNAs: RNA1 (3.2 kb), RNA2 (2.9 kb), and RNA3 (2.1 kb). cis-Acting sequences required for amplification in vivo were explored for RNA3, which does not contribute trans-acting factors to viral RNA replication. Using a CCMV cDNA expression system, deletions throughout RNA3 were constructed and tested for successful replication in barley protoplasts coinoculated with RNAs 1 and 2. As previously found for RNA3 of the related brome mosaic virus (BMV) (R. French and P. Ahlquist, 1987, J. Virol. 61, 1457-1465), either of the two coding regions can be individually deleted without blocking RNA3 amplification. However, in striking contrast to BMV, the entire intercistronic noncoding region separating these genes is also dispensable for CCMV RNA3 amplification. Moreover, although simultaneous deletions of the 3a and coat protein genes were deleterious for BMV RNA3 accumulation, CCMV RNA3 derivatives bearing larger deletions encompassing the 3a gene, intercistronic region, and coat protein gene amplify to high levels. Thus, unlike BMV RNA3, cis-acting sequences required for CCMV RNA3 amplification map solely in the 5' and 3' noncoding regions. Normal levels of CCMV RNA3 accumulation require over 125 but no more than 220 bases from the 3' noncoding region, and no more than the first 89 bases of the 238-base-long 5' noncoding region. 相似文献

Our previous results have shown that some residues of V protein-specific domain in human parainfluenza virus type 2 (hPIV2) are essential not only for STAT protein degradation but also for promoting virus growth. Here, we demonstrated that the virus growth of these recombinant hPIV2s (rPIV2) expressing mutated V proteins were improved in HeLa cell transiently expressing the wild-type V protein, but not in the cells constitutively expressing it. Consequently, we identified the region of the V protein that is essential for its oligomerization and for complex formation with NP protein. We also identified a host protein, AlP1/Alix, involved in apoptosis and efficient budding of several enveloped viruses as an interacting partner of the V and NP proteins. Depletion of AIP1/Alix by small interfering RNA suppressed virus growth. These data suggest that the conserved carboxyl terminus of the V protein plays an important role in virus growth. 相似文献

The N-terminal region of the picornaviral 2C protein is predicted to fold into an amphipathic alpha-helix that is responsible for the protein's association with membranes in the viral RNA replication complex. We have identified a similar sequence in the N-terminal region of NS5A of hepaciviruses that was recently shown to form an amphipathic alpha-helix. The conservation of the N-terminal region in two apparently unrelated proteins of two different RNA virus families suggested that this helix might represent an independent module. To test this hypothesis, we constructed chimeric poliovirus (PV) genomes in which the sequence encoding the N-terminal 2C amphipathic helix was replaced by orthologous sequences from other picornaviral genomes or a similar sequence from NS5A of HCV. Effects of the mutations were assessed by measuring the accumulation of viable virus and viral RNA in HeLa cells after transfection, examining membrane morphology in cells expressing chimeric proteins and by in vitro analysis of RNA translation, protein processing and negative strand RNA synthesis in HeLa cell extracts. The chimeras manifested a wide range of growth and RNA synthesis phenotypes. The results are compatible with our hypothesis, although they demonstrate that helix exchangeability may be restricted due to requirements for interactions with other viral components involved in virus replication. 相似文献
