Complete genome sequence analysis of Japanese encephalitis virus isolated from a horse in India

The complete genome of the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) strain JEV/eq/India/H225/2009(H225), isolated from an infected horse in India, was sequenced and compared to previously published JEV genomes. H225 genome was 10,977-nucleotides long, comprising a single ORF of 10,299-nucleotides, a 5′-UTR of 95 nucleotides and a 3′-UTR of 582 nucleotides. The H225 genome showed high levels of sequence identity with 47 fully sequenced JEV genomes, ranging from 99.3 % to 75.5 % for nucleotides and 99.2 % to 91.5 % for amino acid sequences. Phylogenetic analysis of the full-length sequence indicated that the H225 strain belongs to genotype III and is closely related to the Indian JEV strain Vellore P20778. A comparison of amino acids associated with neurovirulence in the E proteins and non-structural proteins of known virulent and attenuated JEV strains suggested H225 to be a highly virulent strain. This is the first report of whole-genome sequencing of a genotype III JEV genome isolated from equines.     

Molecular characterization of the full-length genome of the Japanese encephalitis viral strain K87P39

We have determined the complete nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) strain K87P39, isolated from a pool of circulating Culex tritaeniorhynchus mosquitoes in Korea. In comparison with 27 fully sequenced JEV genomes currently available, we found that the 10968-nucleotide RNA genome of K87P39 has a nine-nucleotide deletion in the 3' nontranslated variable region and that its single open reading frame has a total of eight amino acid substitutions. The K87P39 isolate is highly similar to other JEV isolates, and homology ranges from 97.9 to 89.0% at the nucleotide level, and 99.1 to 96.7% at the deduced amino acid level. Phylogenetic analyses using the full-length sequence of the 27 available JEV genomes showed that the K87P39 strain is most closely related to six Chinese SA14 derivatives and that it is distantly related to the Australian FU, Korean K94P05 and Japanese Ishikawa strains. In addition, we also found that phylogenetic relationships based on the full-length genome are highly similar to those based on the E gene, indicating that phylogenetic analysis of the E gene will be useful for studying the genetic relationships among JEV isolates. We therefore performed a more extensive E gene-based phylogenetic analysis on a selection of 70 JEV isolates available from GenBank, which represent a temporally and geographically wide variety of JEV strains.     

Genomic sequence of a Japanese encephalitis virus isolate from southern China

We determined the complete nucleotide sequence of a Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) isolate (designated SH17M-2007) from a pool of Culex tritaeniorhynchus collected in southern China in 2007. The genome consisted of 10,965 nucleotides and included a single open reading frame (10,296 nucleotides) that encodes a 3,432-amino-acid polyprotein. The SH17M-2007 had 97.3 to 98.4% nucleotide identity with two Korean strains (KV1899, K94P05) and two Japanese strains (Ishikawa, JEV/sw/Mie/40/2004), but only 88.8% identity with the Chinese vaccine strain SA14-14-2. Five unique amino acid substitutions including one in the envelope (E) protein (Glu^E-306-Lys) were found in the SH17M-2007 strain. Phylogenetic relationships based on the full-length nucleotide sequences were similar to those based on the E gene.     

Molecular phylogenetic and positive selection analysis of Japanese encephalitis virus strains isolated from pigs in China

Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is one of the most important virus which causes encephalitis. This disease is most prevalent in the south, southeast and the east region of Asia. In this study, two JEV strains, named JEV/SW/GD/01/2009 and JEV/SW/GZ/09/2004, were isolated from aborted fetuses and seminal fluid of pigs in China. To determine the characteristic of these virus isolates, the virulence of two newly JEV isolates was investigated, the result evidenced that the JEV/SW/GD/01/2009 did not kill mice, while the JEV/SW/GZ/09/2004 displayed neurovirulence with 0.925 log₁₀ p.f.u./LD50. Additionally, the full genome sequences of JEV were determined and compared with other known JEV strains. Results demonstrated that the genome of two JEV isolates was 10,976 nucleotides (nt) in length. As compared to the Chinese vaccine strain SA14-14-2, the JEV/SW/GD/01/2009 and the JEV/SW/GZ/09/2004 showed 99.7% and 97.5% identity at the nucleotide level, 99.6% and 96.7% identity at the amino acid level, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis, based on the full-length genome revealed that two JEV isolates were all clustered into genotype III compared to the reference strains. Furthermore, selection analyses revealed that dominant selective pressure acting on the JEV genome was purifying selection. Four sites under positive selection were identified: codon 521 (amino acid E-227), 2296 (amino acid NS4b-24), 3048 (amino acid NS5-521) and 3055 (amino acid NS5-528). Amino acid E-227 was proved to be related to neurovirulence. Taken together, the molecular epidemiology and functional of positively selected amino acid sites of two newly JEV isolates were fully understood, which might be helpful to predict possible changes in virulence.     

Full-length sequence analysis of hepatitis E virus isolates: showing potential determinants of virus genotype and identity

The complete genome sequence of a genotype 4 strain of hepatitis E virus (CH-YT-HEV02) from a patient (in Yantai, China) has been determined. Phylogenetic analysis showed that CH-YT-HEV02 belongs to genotype 4, subtype 4a. However, the phylogenetic analysis indicated that it was most closely related to JKO-CHiSai98C (AB197673) strain, sharing only 91.6 % sequence identity with it. Judging from the phylogenetic tree based on the full-length nucleotide sequences of all 70 genotype 4 HEV isolates retrieved from GenBank up to May, 2013, the CH-YT-HEV02 isolates could serve as a Yantai-indigenous strain. A broader comparison with other genotype isolates revealed that there are a few conserved amino acids in the HVR region of different HEV genotypes, and two amino acid motifs in ORF2 and ORF3 might serve as signatures of genotype diversity of HEV.
