Rotavirus genome segment 4, encoding the spike outer capsid VP4 protein, of a porcine rotavirus (PoRV) strain, 134/04-15, identified in Italy was sequenced, and the predicted amino acid (aa) sequence was compared to those of all known VP4 (P) genotypes. The aa sequence of the full-length VP4 protein of the PoRV strain 134/04-15 showed aa identity values ranging from 59.7% (bovine strain KK3, P8[11]) to 86.09% (porcine strain A46, P[13]) with those of the remaining 25 P genotypes. Moreover, aa sequence analysis of the corresponding VP8* trypsin cleavage fragment revealed that the PoRV strain 134/04-15 shared low identity, ranging from 37.52% (bovine strain 993/83, P[17]) to 73.6% (porcine strain MDR-13, P[13]), with those of the remaining 25 P genotypes. Phylogenetic relationships showed that the VP4 of the PoRV strain 134/04-15 shares a common evolutionary origin with porcine P[13] and lapine P[22] rotavirus strains. Additional sequence analyses of the VP7, VP6, and NSP4 genes of the PoRV strain 134/04-15 revealed the highest VP7 aa identity (95.9%) to G5 porcine strains, a porcine-like VP6 within VP6 genogroup I, and a Wa-like (genotype B) NSP4, respectively. Altogether, these results indicate that the PoRV strain 134/04-15 should be considered as prototype of a new VP4 genotype, P[26], and provide further evidence for the vast genetic and antigenic diversity of group A rotaviruses. 相似文献

The genes encoding the glycoprotein VP7, the VP8* trypsin-cleavage product of the protein VP4, a fragment of the protein VP6 associated with subgroup (SG) specificity, and the enterotoxin NSP4 of rotavirus strains identified in diarrheic fecal samples of rabbits in Italy were sequenced. The Italian lapine rotavirus (LRV) strains possessed a G3 VP7, SG I VP6, and KUN-like NSP4, a gene constellation typical of LRVs. One LRV strain (30/96), isolated in 1996, shared the closest amino acid (aa) identity (87-96%) with the P[14] genotype, composed of human and LRV strains. Conversely, three LRV strains (160/01, 229/01, and 308/01), identified in 2001, were highly identical (90-95%) among each other, but showed low aa identity (34-77%) to the VP8* genotype-specific sequences of representative rotavirus strains of all remaining P genotypes. This report confirms the worldwide genetic constellations of LRVs and identifies a novel VP4 genotype in rabbits, tentatively proposed as genotype P[22]. 相似文献

Porcine rotavirus strains (PoRVs) bearing human-like VP4 P[6] gene alleles were identified. Genetic characterization with either PCR genotyping or sequence analysis allowed to determine the VP7 specificity of the PoRVs as G3, G4, G5 and G9, and the VP6 as genogroup I, that is predictive of a subgroup I specificity. Sequence analysis of the VP8* trypsin-cleavage product of VP4 allowed PoRVs to be characterized further into genetic lineages within the P[6] genotype. Unexpectedly, the strains displayed significantly higher similarity (up to 94.6% and 92.5% at aa and nt level, respectively) to human M37-like P[6] strains (lineage I), serologically classifiable as P2A, or to the atypical Hungarian P[6] human strains (HRVs), designated as lineage V (up to 97.0% aa and 96.1% nt), than to the porcine P[6] strain Gottfried, lineage II (<85.1% aa and 82.2 nt), which is serologically classified as P2B. Interestingly, no P[6] PoRV resembling the original prototype porcine strain, Gottfried, was detected, while Japanase P[6] PoRV clustered with the atypical Japanase G1 human strain AU19. By analysis of the 10th and 11th genome segments, all the strains revealed a NSP4B genogroup (Wa-like) and a NSP5/6 gene of porcine origin. These findings strongly suggest interspecies transmission of rotavirus strains and/or genes, and may indicate the occurrence of at least 3 separate rotavirus transmission events between pigs and humans, providing convincing evidence that evolution of human rotaviruses is tightly intermingled with the evolution of animal rotaviruses. 相似文献

During a limited epidemiological study, the serotype specificities of several isolates of bovine rotavirus, exhibiting identical electropherotypes, from a single cattle farm near Bangalore, India, could not be determined using a panel of serotyping monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for G serotypes 1-6 and 10. To determine the genotypes of these isolates, the nucleotide sequences of the genes encoding the outer capsid proteins VP4 and VP7 of two representative isolates, Hg18 and Hg23, were determined. The corresponding gene sequences from the two isolates were identical, indicating that these isolates represented a single strain of bovine rotavirus. Comparison of the VP4 nucleotide (nt) and the deduced amino acid (aa) sequences with those of several human and animal rotavirus strains representing all of the currently recognized 20 different VP4 (P) genotypes revealed low nt and aa sequence identities of 61.0 to 74.2% and 57.9 to 78.2% for VP4. The percentages of amino acid homology for the VP8* and VP5* regions of VP4 were 37.7 to 67.9 and 68.1 to 84.2%, respectively. The nt and aa sequences of the VP7 gene were also distinct from those of human and animal strains belonging to the previously established 14 VP7(G) serotypes (65.9 to 75.5% nt and 59.5 to 77.6% aa identities). These findings suggest the classification of the VP4 and VP7 genes of the bovine isolates represented by Hg18 as new P and G genotypes and provide further evidence for the vast genetic/antigenic diversity of group A rotaviruses. 相似文献

In 2004, an epidemiological survey of human rotavirus infection in Chiang Mai, Thailand detected two uncommon human rotavirus strains (CMH120/04 and CMH134/04) bearing AU-1-like G3P[9] genotypes in 1 year old children hospitalized with acute gastroenteritis. The CMH120/04 and CMH134/04 rotavirus strains were characterized by molecular analyses of their VP6, VP7, VP8*, and NSP4 gene segments as well as the determination of RNA patterns by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Analysis of the VP8* gene revealed a high level of amino acid sequence identities with those of P[9] rotavirus reference strains, ranging from 94.9% to 98.3%. The highest identities were shared with the human rotavirus AU-1 strain at 97.8% and 98.3% for CMH120/04 and CMH134/04 strains, respectively. Analysis of the VP7 gene sequence revealed the highest identities with G3 human rotavirus strain KC814 at 96.6% and 96.2% for CMH120/04 and CMH134/04 strains, respectively. Based on the analyses of VP7 and VP8* genes, CMH120/04 and CMH134/04 belonged to G3P[9] genotypes. In addition, analyses of VP6 and NSP4 sequences revealed a VP6 subgroup (SG) I, with NSP4 genetic group C specificities. Moreover, both strains displayed a long RNA electrophoretic pattern. The finding of uncommon G3P[9] rotaviruses in pediatric patients provided additional evidence of the genetic/antigenic diversities of human group A rotaviruses in the Chiang Mai area of Thailand. 相似文献

An unusual strain of human rotavirus G3P[10] (CMH079/05) was detected in a stool sample of a 2‐year‐old child admitted to the hospital with severe diarrhea in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Analysis of the VP7 gene sequence revealed highest identities with unusual human rotavirus G3 strain CMH222 at 98.7% on the nucleotide and 99.6% on the amino acid levels. Phylogenetic analysis of the VP7 sequence confirmed that the CMH079/05 strain formed a cluster with G3 rotavirus reference strains and showed the closest lineage with the CMH222 strain. Analysis of partial VP4 gene of CMH079/05 revealed highest degree of sequence identities with P[10] rotavirus prototype strain 69M at nucleotide and amino acid levels of 92.9% and 94.6%, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis of the VP4 sequence revealed that CMH079/05 and 69M clustered closely together in a monophyletic branch separated from other rotavirus genotypes. To our knowledge, this is a novel G–P combination of G3 and P[10] genotypes. In addition, analyses of VP6, NSP4, and NSP5/6 genes revealed these uncommon genetic characteristics: (i) the VP6 gene differed from the four other known subgroups; (ii) the NSP4 gene was identified as NSP4 genetic group C, an uncommon group in humans; and (iii) the NSP5/6 gene was most closely related with T152, a G12P[9] rotavirus previously isolated in Thailand. The finding of uncommon G3P[10] rotavirus in this pediatric patient provided additional evidence of the genetic diversity of human group A rotaviruses in Chiang Mai, Thailand. J. Med.

Summary. We report the first detection of P[14], G8 rotaviruses isolated in Egypt from the stool of children participating in a 3
year study of rotavirus epidemiology. Two strains, EGY1850 and EGY2295, were characterized by a serotyping enzyme immunoassay
(EIA), virus neutralization, and sequence analysis of the genes encoding VP7 and the VP8* portion of the VP4 gene. These two strains shared a high level of homology of their VP7s (87.8% nucleotide [nt], 97.2% amino
acid [aa]) and VP4s (89.6% nt, 97.1% aa) and had the highest VP7 identity to serotype G8 (>82% nt, >92% aa) and VP4 identity
to genotype P[14] (≥81% nt, >91% aa) strains. Serological results with a VP7 G8-specific and VP4 P[14]-specific neutralizing
monoclonal antibodies supported the genetic classification of EGY1850 and EGY2295 as P[14], G8. Genogroup analysis supports
earlier findings that human G8 rotaviruses may be genetically related to bovine rotaviruses. These findings demonstrate that
our understanding of the geographic distribution of rotavirus strains is incomplete, emphasize the need to monitor rota- virus
serotypes, and extend the known distribution of serotype G8 and genotype P[14] strains in Africa.

Several reports have identified P[6] specificities in humans and in animals in different countries of the world, but few sequence data are available in public databases. In this work we have characterized the VP4 strains bearing P[6] specificity and NSP4 genotypes among diarrheic young children and diarrheic and non-diarrheic neonates from three studies previously conducted in Belém, Northern region of Brazil. As the to VP8* fragment, we observed a close relationship to both human prototypes of lineage P[6]-Ia (bootstrap of 99%) and porcine sublineages Ib and Ic (89.2-98.1% aa similarity and mean of 95%). With regards to the NSP4, the samples clustered into genotypes A and B. Of note, of the 27 P[6] strains analyzed in the present study and classified as genotype B, 8 (29.6%) were more similar to porcine prototypes when VP8* and NSP4 genes are compared, and were recovered, one from a neonate and seven from diarrheic children. These preliminary findings reinforce that further investigations are needed to assess the relative frequencies of P[6] strains in our region, as well as to investigate the potential for interspecies transmission involving humans and animals, particularly pigs. 相似文献

Multiple combinations of P[13]-like genotype with G3, G4, and G5 in porcine rotaviruses 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Epidemiological surveillance of porcine rotavirus (PoRV) strains was carried out in Chiang Mai Province, Thailand, from 2002 to 2003, and eight rotavirus isolates could not be completely typed by PCR. Of these, six were G3 and one was G4 and displayed a P-nontypeable genotype, while another isolate was both G and P nontypeable. Analysis of a partial VP4 gene of all eight P-nontypeable strains revealed a high degree of amino acid sequence identities (94.7% to 100%), suggesting that they belonged to the same P genotype. Comparison of the amino acid sequences of two representative strains (namely, strains CMP178 and CMP213) with those of 27 other known P genotypes revealed a high degree of amino acid sequence identity with those of P[13] porcine rotavirus reference strains HP113 and HP140, which were recently isolated in India. However, amino acid sequence comparison with non-P[13] rotavirus strains revealed relatively low identities, ranging from 58.2% to 84.8% for full-length VP4 sequences and 35.1% to 80.6% for VP8* sequences. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that CMP178 and CMP213 clustered together in a monophyletic branch with P[13]-like genotypes HP113 and HP140 which was clearly separated from the other lineages of P[13] or P[22] strains. Altogether, these findings indicate that PoRV strains CMP178 and CMP213 should be considered the P[13]-like VP4 genotype, a rare genotype that has been identified only in pigs. This study provides additional evidence of increasing genetic diversity among group A rotaviruses in nature. 相似文献

A new rotavirus strain, sh0902, was detected in diarrheic piglets on a farm in Shanghai, China, and its genotype was characterized
as G1P[7]. Analysis of the VP4, VP7 and NSP4 genes demonstrated VP4 homology to bovine and swine rotavirus strains; the nucleotide
(nt) and amino acid (aa) identities were 99.7% and 99.5%, respectively. The VP7 gene was highly homologous to that of a giant
panda rotavirus strain, with 98.5% similarity at the nt level and 99% similarity at the aa level. The nucleotide sequence
of the NSP4 gene displayed high homology to human rotavirus strain R479, with 99.7% identity at the nt level and 99.3% identity
at the aa level. This is the first report of an unusual porcine rotavirus strain with VP4, VP7 and NSP4 genes that are highly
homologous to bovine, swine, giant panda and human strains isolated at geographically distant sites (South Korea, China and
India). Our data indicate that rotaviruses have circulated among humans and animals and undergone genome reassortment. 相似文献

An ovine rotavirus (OVR) strain, 762, was isolated from a 30-day-old lamb affected with severe gastroenteritis, in Zaragoza, Spain, and the VP4, VP7, VP6, NSP4, and NSP5/NSP6 genes were subsequently characterized molecularly. Strain OVR762 was classified as a P[14] rotavirus, as the VP4 and VP8* trypsin-cleavage product of the VP4 protein revealed the highest amino acid (aa) identity (94% and 97%, respectively) with that of the P11[14] human rotavirus (HRV) strain PA169, isolated in Italy. Analysis of the VP7 gene product revealed that OVR762 possessed G8 serotype specificity, a type common in ruminants, with the highest degree of aa identity (95-98%) shared with serotype G8 HRV, bovine rotavirus, and guanaco (Lama guanicoe) rotavirus strains. Moreover, strain OVR762 displayed a bovine-like NSP4 (genotype E2) and NSP5/NSP6 (genotype H3), and a VP6 genotype I2, as well as a long electropherotype pattern. This is the first report of a lamb rotavirus with P[14] and G8 specificities, providing additional evidence for the wide genetic and antigenic diversity of group A rotaviruses. 相似文献

Rotavirus serotype G12 was initially identified in the Philippines in 1987 and was not described again until it reemerged more than 13 years later. G12 strains were first detected in the United States in 2002 and have recently assumed a worldwide distribution. The high similarity between the sequence of the major outer capsid VP7 gene of human G12 strains and the single porcine G12 isolate raised the prospect that human strains may have arisen through reassortment with porcine strains or, alternatively, that the porcine strain originally came from humans. We sequenced portions of the remaining 10 segments of two human G12 strains (G12P[8] and G12P[6]) and a currently circulating common strain (G1P[8]) identified during the 2005–2006 surveillance season and compared the sequences with those of strains available through GenBank. By comparison, the three strains were all Wa‐like and not porcine‐like. A newly outlined classification system proposed genotypes for each gene segment based on nucleotide similarity. Using this approach, gene segments VP1–3, VP6 and NSP1–5 grouped within the same genotype, indicating that the three strains analyzed were closely related. These results suggest that the novel G12P[8] strain could have been formed by the solitary introduction of a VP7 gene into a globally common rotavirus strain, G1P[8]. Classifying rotavirus strains based only on VP7 (G) and VP4 (P) genotype potentially underestimates diversity and sequence analysis of the other segments is required to assess the complete genetic relationships between strains.

A rotavirus surveillance study was undertaken in Slovenia from December 2005 to March 2006. Stool samples from 114 children hospitalized with acute viral gastroenteritis were collected from two main Slovenian hospitals. These confirmed rotavirus-positive samples were selected for a rotavirus G and P genotype prevalence study. Six untypable strains of genotype G were further analyzed with sequencing of the VP7, VP8*, and NSP4 genes. The findings of the study were that the G1 genotype was the most prevalent, found in 72 samples (63.2%), followed by G9 in 26 samples (22.8%), G4 in 10 samples (8.8%), and G3 in 2 samples (1.7%). All G genotypes were combined with the P[8] genotype specificity. After sequence analysis, one G8 and two G12 genotypes were also characterized. In a VP7-based phylogenetic analysis, the G8P[8] strain (SI-885/06) was more closely related to the Cody I801 bovine strain than to other human strains. Both G12 strains (SI-264/06 and SI-403/06) were shown to belong to the Se585 G12 cluster. In the VP8* phylogenetic tree, all analyzed strains except one, belonged to the P[8] lineage II and shared high identity in amino acid sequence. All characterized strains were clustered into the NSP4 genotype B. The molecular characterization of this G8 strain supports the theory of interspecies transmission of rotaviruses and animal-human genome reassortment. This is the first report on rotavirus G12 detection in Slovenia. 相似文献

Summary A cDNA clone representing the VP4-encoding gene of human rotavirus strain 69M(VP7 serotype 8) was constructed and inserted into a baculovirus expression vector. Baculovirus recombinants that expressed the 69 M VP4 protein inSpodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) cells were screened by immunofluorescence with hyperimmune antiserum to the 69M strain and purified by terminal dilution. The expressed VP4 was detected by Coomassie blue staining of PAGE-separated proteins. The antigenic relationships between the VP4 of the 69M strain and those of various human and other animal rotavirus strains representing ten established VP4 serotypes were examined by plaque reduction neutralization. Hyperimmune antiserum produced in guinea pigs following immunization with a lysate of Sf9 cells infected with a 69M gene 4-baculovirus recombinant neutralized the infectivity of the homologous human rotavirus 69M strain as well as heterologous equine rotavirus H-2 strain to a high titer. The anti-69M VP4 hyperimmune antiserum did not neutralize significantly other rotavirus strains of human, simian, porcine, bovine, or murine origin. It thus appears that the human rotavirus 69M strain has a distinct VP4 serotype (designated as P serotype 4) which is closely related antigenically to equine rotavirus H-2 VP4. 相似文献

Global rotavirus surveillance has led to the detection of many unusual human rotavirus (HRV) genotypes. During 1996–2004 surveillance within the African Rotavirus Network (ARN), six P[8],G8 and two P[6],G8 human rotavirus strains were identified. Gene fragments (RT‐PCR amplicons) of all 11‐gene segments of these G8 strains were sequenced in order to elucidate their genetic and evolutionary relationships. Phylogenetic and sequence analyses of each gene segment revealed high similarities (88–100% nt and 91–100% aa) for all segments except for gene 4 encoding VP4 proteins P[8] and P[6]. For most strains, almost all of the genes of the ARN strains other than neutralizing antigens are related to typical human strains of Wa genogroup. The VP7, NSP2, and NSP5 genes were closely related to cognate genes of animal strains (83–99% and 97–99% aa identity). This study suggests that the ARN G8 strains might have arisen through VP7 or VP4 gene reassortment events since most of the other gene segments resemble those of common human rotaviruses. However, VP7, NSP2 (likely), and NSP5 (likely) genes are derived potentially from animals consistent with a zoonotic introduction. Although these findings help elucidate rotavirus evolution, sequence studies of cognate animal rotavirus genes are needed to conclusively determine the specific origin of those genes relative to both human and animal rotavirus strains.

The VP4 gene of a G5 Italian porcine rotavirus strain, 344/04-1, was nontypeable by PCR genotyping. The amino acid sequence of the full-length VP4 protein had low identity (≤76.6%) with the homologous sequences of representative strains of the remaining P genotypes, providing evidence for a novel P genotype. 相似文献

A total of 1,385 stool specimens were collected from children with diarrhea at two hospitals in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, in 1994 and 1995, and screened for rotavirus by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of viral RNA. Group A rotavirus was detected with high frequency; 56.5% (87/154) and 40.8% (502/1,231) of the specimens collected in 1994 and 1995, respectively, were positive for rotavirus. Assignment of G serotype and P type (VP4 genotype) of group A rotavirus by ELISA with monoclonal antibodies and/or PCR, respectively, showed that strains of G2-P[4] and G1-P[8] specificity were predominant in 1994 and in 1995, respectively. In contrast, a single strain was found to have a P[9] type specificity, and no G4 strain was detected. Unusual combinations of RNA pattern-subgroup-G serotype-P type, such as long pattern-subgroup I-G1-P[8], short pattern-subgroup II-G3-P[4] and short pattern-subgroup I-G1-P[4], were detected in four specimens. Nucleotide sequences of the VP8* and/or NSP5 genes from two Chinese P[8] strains 470 and 582 and one Chinese P[9] strain 512 as well as five Japanese P[9] strains (K8, AU1, M318, O264, and O265) were determined and compared with the published sequences of the corresponding gene. In the phylogenetic tree of VP8* sequences of P[9] strains, which formed two clusters each having strain K8 or AU-1 as the representative strain, the Chinese P[9] strain was found in the cluster represented by AU-1, although it was most distantly related to other strains. While NSP5 sequences of human strains with P[9] specificity were related to simian and bovine strains, that of Chinese P[8] strains was most closely related to those of porcine strains. A single group C rotavirus (No. 208) was detected. Nucleotide sequences of its VP4, VP6, VP7, and NSP4 genes were very similar to those of group C human rotaviruses detected worldwide. J. Med.

Two live-attenuated rotavirus group A (RVA) vaccines, Rotarix (G1P[8]) and RotaTeq (G1-G4, P[8]), have been successfully introduced in many countries worldwide, including Belgium. The parental RVA strains used to generate the vaccines were isolated more than 20 years ago in France (G4 parental strain in RotaTeq) and the United States (all other parental strains). At present, little is known about the relationship between currently circulating human RVAs and the vaccine strains. In this study, we determined sequences for the VP7 and VP4 outer capsid proteins of representative G1P[8], G2P[4], G3P[8], G4P[8], G9P[8], and G12P[8] RVAs circulating in Belgium during 2007 to 2009. The analyses showed that multiple amino acid differences existed between the VP7 and VP4 antigenic epitopes of the vaccine viruses and the Belgian isolates, regardless of their G and P genotypes. However, the highest variability was observed among the circulating G1P[8] RVA strains and the G1 and P[8] components of both RVA vaccines. In particular, RVA strains of the P[8] lineage 4 (OP354-like) showed a significant number of amino acid differences with the P[8] VP4 of both vaccines. In addition, the circulating Belgian G3 RVA strains were found to possibly possess an extra N-linked glycosylation site compared to the G3 RVA vaccine strain of RotaTeq. These results indicate that the antigenic epitopes of RVA strains contained in the vaccines differ substantially from those of the currently circulating RVA strains in Belgium. Over time, these differences might result in selection for strains that escape the RVA neutralizing-antibody pressure induced by vaccines. 相似文献
