The genome sequences of three duck hepatitis virus type 1 (DHV-1) strains were determined. Comparative sequence analyses showed that they possessed a typical picornavirus genome organization apart from the unique possession of three in-tandem 2A genes. The 2A1 protein of DHV-1 is an aphthovirus-like 2A protein; the 2A2 protein is not related to any known picornavirus protein; the 2A3 protein is a human parechovirus-like 2A protein. Several other features were found to be unique to the DHV-1 genome when compared with other picornaviruses: (i) the 3' UTR of DHV-1 was composed of 314 nt, the largest among the picornaviruses; (ii) pair-wise amino acid sequence identities between polyprotein of DHV-1 and other picornaviruses are all less than 30%. The pair-wise amino acid sequence identities in the 3D region of DHV-1 with LV and HPeV-1 is only 38.6 and 36.6%, respectively, and less than 30% with all other picornaviruses; (iii) the DHV-1 capsid polypeptide VP0 is not proteolytically cleaved into VP4 and VP2; and (iv) phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis of DHV-1 reveals a new picornavirus clade. It is therefore proposed that DHV-1 should be assigned to a new genus in the Picornaviridae.  相似文献

Duck hepatitis strains 90D and 04G were determined to be antigenically unrelated to type 1 duck hepatitis virus (DHV-1) by in vitro cross-neutralization assay. The genome sequences of 90D and 04G revealed that both strains of the new serotype DHV (N-DHV) possessed a typical picornavirus genome organization apart from the unique possession of three in-tandem 2A genes present in DHV-1. The 2A1, 2A2, and 2A3 proteins represented an aphthovirus-like 2A protein, AIG1-like protein, and human parechovirus-like 2A protein, respectively. The N-DHV genome displayed unique features, compared to the DHV-1 genome. The 366 nt 3'UTR of N-DHV, the largest determined thus far among picornaviruses, was 52 nt longer than DHV-1. The pairwise percent identity of the nucleic acid and amino acid sequences at 1D region of N-DHV and DHV-1 were only 69.1-69.7 and 70.1-70.5%, respectively. Finally, phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis of N-DHV revealed that the N-DHV and DHV-1 belong to two different clusters of a novel genus in the Picornaviridae family.  相似文献

In a 1990 outbreak, a virus isolated in Taiwan from the intestines of ducks showing signs of hepatitis was tentatively classified as a picornavirus on the basis of physical, chemical, and morphological characteristics. The virus was cloned and then found not to be type 1 duck hepatitis virus (DHV-1) or a new serotype of duck hepatitis virus (N-DHV) by serum neutralization. Complete genome sequencing indicated that the virus genome had 8351 nucleotides and the typical picornavirus genome organization (i.e., 5' untranslated region (UTR)-L-P1 (VP 4-2-3-1)-P2 (2A-B-C)-P3 (3A-B-C-D)-3' UTR-poly A). One open reading frame encoded 2521 amino acids, which makes this virus one of the largest picornaviruses, second only to equine rhinitis B virus of the genus Erbovirus. Its L protein was the largest within the family Picornaviridae (451 amino acids) and suspected to be a trypsin-like protease. The 235-nucleotide 3' UTR region was of intermediate size, quite long compared to other picornaviruses but shorter than other picornaviruses of duck-origin (DHV-1 and N-DHV) and had four regions of secondary structure. The 2A protein was composed of only 12 amino acids, which is the shortest of any member of the family Picornaviridae. Phylogenetic analysis of the polyprotein and 3D sequences indicated that this virus (named duck picornavirus [DPV]) together with porcine enterovirus type 8 virus and several simian picornaviruses form a distinct branch of the family Picornaviridae and should be assigned to a new picornavirus genus.  相似文献

A virus belonging to a new species in the genus Kobuvirus, family Picornaviridae, was first isolated in 2008 from apparently healthy pigs in Hungary and China. We report the complete genome sequence and the genetic organization of the novel porcine kobuvirus strain Y-1-CHI, which was identified in China. The RNA genome of strain Y-1-CHI contains 8210 nucleotides (nt) and has an organization similar to that of other picornaviruses. The full-length nucleotide sequence of Y-1-CHI was 88.62%, 58.66%, and 48.86% identical to those of S-1-HUN, U-1, and Aichi virus, respectively. No positive results were found in 454 stool samples from children with acute gastroenteritis. Dendrograms indicated that Y-1-CHI and S-1-HUN are most closely related to each other and belong to the same species. Our results suggest that members of this novel species have the typical genome characteristics of members of the genus Kobuvirus and may be distributed globally in swine.  相似文献

Analysis of the VP1 capsid protein coding region of simian virus (SV) 2, SV16, SV18, SV42, SV44, SV45, and SV49 demonstrates that they are clearly distinct from members of the Enterovirus genus and from members of other existing picornavirus genera. To further characterize this group of viruses and to clarify their classification within the Picornaviridae, we have determined the complete genomic sequence of SV2 (8126 nucleotides). The genome was typical of members of Picornaviridae, encoding a single open reading frame. The putative polyprotein contained typical picornavirus protease cleavage sites, yielding mature proteins homologous to each of the known picornavirus proteins. SV2 contained an amino-terminal extension of the reading frame, which was analogous to the leader protein of members of the Aphthovirus, Cardiovirus, Erbovirus, Kobuvirus, and Teschovirus genera, but there was no significant amino acid homology with any of these known leader proteins. The 2A protein also aligned poorly with the 2A proteins of other picornaviruses. The deduced amino acid sequences of the SV2 structural and nonstructural proteins were related to but phylogenetically distinct from those of enteroviruses and human rhinoviruses. The major distinguishing features of SV2 were the presence of a type 2 internal ribosome entry site in the 5'-NTR, a putative leader protein encoded upstream of the structural proteins, and an unusually large 2A protein. On the basis of the molecular analysis, we propose that SV2, SV16, SV18, SV42, SV44, SV45, SV49, and porcine enterovirus 8 be classified as members of a new genus in Picornaviridae and that SV2 (strain 2383) be designated as the type strain.  相似文献

Perina nuda picorna-like virus (PnPV) is an insect-infecting RNA virus with morphological and physicochemical characters similar to the Picornaviridae. In this article, we determine the complete genome sequence and analyze the gene organization of PnPV. The genome of PnPV consists of 9476 nucleotides (nts) excluding the poly(A) tail and contains a single large open reading frame (ORF) of 8958 nts (2986 codons) flanked by 473 and 45 nt noncoding regions on the 5' and 3' ends, respectively. Northern blotting did not detect the presence of any subgenomic RNA. The PnPV genome codes for four structural proteins (CP1-4), and determination of their N-terminal sequences by Edman degradation, showed that all four are located in the 5' region of the genome. The 3' part of the PnPV genome contains the consensus sequence motifs for picornavirus RNA helicase, cysteine protease, and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) in that order from the 5' to the 3' end. In all of these characters, the genome organization of PnPV resembles the mammalian picornaviruses and two other insect picorna-like viruses, infectious flacherie virus (IFV) of the silkworm and Sacbrood virus (SBV) of the honeybee. In a phylogenetic tree based on the eight conserved domains in the RdRp sequence, PnPV formed a separate cluster with IFV and SBV, which suggests that these three insect picorna-like viruses might constitute a novel group of insect-infecting RNA viruses.  相似文献

Fever of unknown origin (FUO) is a serious problem in the United States. An unidentified agent was cultured from the stool of an infant who presented with FUO. This virus showed growth in HFDK cells and suckling mice. Using DNase sequence-independent single-primer amplification, we identified several nucleotide sequences with a high homology to Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus. Nearly full-length viral genome sequencing and phylogenetic analysis demonstrate that this virus is a member of the Cardiovirus genus of the Picornaviridae family.  相似文献

A-2 plaque virus (A2 virus) was originally isolated from the icteric-phase sera of US servicemen with viral hepatitis in the 1960s, but apart from a preliminary characterization little is known about the agent. We have now successfully cloned and sequenced the complete viral genome. A2 viral RNA consists of 7312 nucleotides, excluding the 62 nucleotide poly(A) tract at the 3' end, with one large open reading frame. Although clearly a member of the Picornaviridae, there is low homology to the available sequences, suggesting it is only loosely related to the classic rhino/enterovirus genus. In addition, there was no reactivity with group specific monoclonal antibody blends against polioviruses, enteroviruses 70 and 71, coxsackievirus B, and echoviruses. Two tamarins were inoculated with A2 virus to study viral pathogenesis. Both animals that received A2 virus became transiently viremic 1 week after the infection, as determined by RT-PCR, and they developed an antibody response to A2 virus. However, no physical signs or biochemical abnormalities, including elevated liver transaminases, were observed. In addition, no liver samples from patients with fulminant hepatitis (n = 7) or controls (n = 7) were positive for A2 viral RNA nor was anti-A2 neutralizing antibody detected in sera from hepatitis patients (n = 14), healthy laboratory donors (n = 14), or US blood donors (n = 33); however, most sera contained antibodies reactive with A2 virus proteins. These results suggest that A2 virus is a new member of the Picornaviridae but that its pathogenicity in nonhuman primates and association with human disease still need to be determined.  相似文献

We report the discovery of a new virus with unique genome characteristics from the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta. This virus represents the second identified from this ant species. It is provisionally named Solenopsis invicta virus 2 (SINV-2). The SINV-2 genome was constructed by compiling sequences from successive 5' RACE reactions, a 3' RACE reaction, and expressed sequence tag, c246 (accession number EH413675), from a fire ant expression library. The SINV-2 genome structure was monopartite, polycistronic and RNA-based. The genome consensus sequence (EF428566) was 11,303 nucleotides in length, excluding the poly(A) tail present on the 3' end. Analysis of the genome revealed 4 major open reading frames (ORFs; comprised of > or =100 codons) and 5 minor ORFs (comprised of 50-99 codons) in the sense orientation. No large ORFs were found in the inverse orientation suggesting that the SINV-2 genome was from a positive-strand RNA virus. Further evidence for this conclusion includes abolished RT-PCR amplification by RNase treatment of SINV-2 nucleic acid template, and failure to amplify without first conducting cDNA synthesis. Blastp analysis indicated that ORF 4 contained conserved domains of an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, helicase, and protease, characteristic of positive-strand RNA viruses. However, the protease domain and putative structural proteins (ORFs 1, 2, and 3) were less well conserved. Phylogenetic analysis of the RdRp, helicase, and ORF 1 indicate unique placement of SINV-2 exclusive from the Dicistroviridae, iflaviruses, Picornaviridae, and plant small RNA viruses.  相似文献

A virus, designated Sikhote-Alin, was isolated in 1970 from Ixodes persulcatus ticks collected from a wild boar in the Primorie region (U.S.S.R.) Sikhote-Alin virus showed no haemagglutinating activity and no antigenic relationships with arboviruses of 12 antigenic groups, 17 ungrouped tick-borne arboviruses, porcine enteroviruses and coxsackie A (types 1-18) viruses. An one-way antigenic relationship was demonstrated by complement fixation with cardioviruses (Mengo and Columbia-SK strains). The virus contains RNA, is resistant to lipid solvents, highly thermostable in the presence of 1 M MgCl2 and its size is over 20 nm but less than 25 nm. All these properties make it possible to consider it as a new member of the cardiovirus group (genus Enterovirus; Picornaviridae).  相似文献

The nucleotide sequences of the complete VP1, VP0, VP3, and partial 3D regions of seven duck hepatitis virus (DHV) serotype 1 (DHV-1) strains isolated in China between 2001 and 2007 and one DHV-1 strain originally obtained from ATCC were determined and compared with previously available DHV sequences in GenBank. Phylogenetic analysis on the basis of VP1 sequences demonstrated three distinct genetic groups. There was an excellent concordance among the genetic groups assigned based on the complete VP0, VP3, and the partial 3D regions. In view of the growing importance of molecular techniques in diagnosis, we propose that the three genetic groups should be termed DHV types A, B, and C. All DHV-1 strains grouped in genotype A, whereas the new serotype strains isolated in Taiwan and the new serotype strains isolated in South Korea clustered into genotypes B and C, respectively, suggesting a potential genetic correlates of serotype. In pairwise comparisons of complete VP1, VP0, and VP3 nucleotide and amino acid sequences and the partial 3D nucleotide sequence, DHVs of the same genotype were clearly distinguished from those of heterologous genotypes. Analysis of the amino acid sequences of the three capsid proteins demonstrated the presence of conserved elements that form the eight-stranded beta-barrel structures, as well as intervening domains that vary in sequence between strains of different genotypes as seen in other picorna viruses.  相似文献

Bovine rhinovirus 2 (BRV2), a causative agent of respiratory disease in cattle, is tentatively assigned to the genus Rhinovirus in the family Picornaviridae. A nearly full-length cDNA of the BRV2 genome was cloned and the nucleotide sequence determined. BRV2 possesses a putative leader proteinase, a small 2A protein and a poly(C) tract, which are characteristic of aphthoviruses. Alignment of BRV-2 and FMDV polyproteins showed that 41% of amino acids were identical within the P1 region. Furthermore, 2A, 2C, 3B(3), 3C and 3D proteins are as much as 67%, 52%, 52%, 50%, and 64% identical, respectively. BRV2 leader protein is rapidly released from the viral polyprotein and cleaves eIF4G at a rate similar to FMDV leader proteinase, suggesting a functional relationship between the leader protein in these viruses. The results suggest that BRV2 is closely related to FMDV and should therefore be considered as a new species within the genus Aphthovirus.  相似文献

In addition to the viruses belonging to the nine proposed genera of the Picornaviridae, Enterovirus, Rhinovirus, Cardiovirus, Aphtovirus, Hepatovirus, Parechovirus, Kobuvirus, Erbovirus and Teschovirus, two new members of this family have recently been discovered. Three strains of Ljungan virus (LV) were isolated from bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus) and A-2 plaque virus (A-2) was isolated from human sera. To study the genetic relationship between these recently discovered viruses and the members of the family Picornaviridae, an evolutionary analysis has been carried out using the amino acid sequences of the two nonstructural proteins 2C and 3D. Phylogenetic analysis using prime members of the nine genera support the division of picornaviruses into the proposed genera. The study also supports a previous suggestion based on analysis of partial sequences of the structural proteins that LV is more related to the genus of Parechovirus than to other picornaviruses, but also shows that the three LV strains used in the comparison constitute a distinct monophyletic group, clearly separated from the parechoviruses. The analyses using the 2C and 3D sequences clearly showed that A-2 was related to the genera of Rhinovirus and Enterovirus, but it was not possible to group the A-2 with high confidence into one of the genera. Comparison using the VP1 protein sequences of Enterovirus and Rhinovirus showed that although the A-2 virus is positioned between the two genera, the virus is more related to the genus of Enterovirus than to Rhinovirus. Our analysis of the three LV strains based on the phylogenetic analysis of the 2C and 3D proteins suggests that the strains used in this study constitute a monophyletic group clearly related to Parechovirus of Picornaviridae. The taxonomic position of the A-2 virus is presently uncertain but available data indicate that this virus may be classified as a member of the genus of Enterovirus.  相似文献

We report the first discovery and genome sequence of a virus infecting the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta. The 8026 nucleotide, polyadenylated, RNA genome encoded two large open reading frames (ORF1 and ORF2), flanked and separated by 27, 223, and 171 nucleotide untranslated regions, respectively. The predicted amino acid sequence of the 5' proximal ORF1 (nucleotides 28 to 4218) exhibited significant identity and possessed consensus sequences characteristic of the helicase, cysteine protease, and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase sequence motifs from picornaviruses, picorna-like viruses, comoviruses, caliciviruses, and sequiviruses. The predicted amino acid sequence of the 3' proximal ORF2 (nucleotides 4390-7803) showed similarity to structural proteins in picorna-like viruses, especially the acute bee paralysis virus. Electron microscopic examination of negatively stained samples from virus-infected fire ants revealed isometric particles with a diameter of 31 nm, consistent with Picornaviridae. A survey for the fire ant virus from areas around Florida revealed a pattern of fairly widespread distribution. Among 168 nests surveyed, 22.9% were infected. The virus was found to infect all fire ant caste members and developmental stages, including eggs, early (1st-2nd) and late (3rd-4th) instars, worker pupae, workers, sexual pupae, alates ( male symbol and female symbol ), and queens. The virus, tentatively named S. invicta virus (SINV-1), appears to belong to the picorna-like viruses. We did not observe any perceptible symptoms among infected nests in the field. However, in every case where an SINV-1-infected colony was excavated from the field with an inseminated queen and held in the laboratory, all of the brood in these colonies died within 3 months.  相似文献

The complete nucleotide sequence of the genome of wheat Eqlid mosaic virus (WEqMV) (excluding the poly A tail) comprised 9636 nucleotides including 5' and 3' noncoding regions of 137 and 172 nt, respectively. It contained a single ORF coding for a polyprotein of 3,109 amino acid residues and had a deduced genome organization typical of members of the family Potyviridae and with proteinase cleavage sites very similar to those of the members of the genus Tritimovirus. Pairwise and multiple alignments and phylogenetic analysis showed that WEqMV is a distinct species in the genus Tritimovirus. WEqMV and Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) shared the greatest nucleotide sequence identity in the NIb and HC-Pro cistrons (63.2% and 60.8%, respectively) and the lowest sequence identity in the P1 and CP cistrons (51.2% and 51.1%, respectively). Sequence identity for the complete genome of WEqMV and WSMV was 56.8% at the nucleotide level and 50.7% at the amino acid level. WEqMV had 57.2% nucleotide identity and 50.6% amino acid identity with Oat necrotic mottle virus and 52.5% nucleotide identity and 45.5% amino acid identity with Brome streak mosaic virus. The relationship of WEqMV with other members of the family Potyviridae was more distant. Structural analysis of WEqMV protein showed presence of potential transmembrane helices in 6k1, 6k2, and P3 proteins.  相似文献

Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is a hepatotropic member of the family Picornaviridae. Currently, the entire nucleotide sequence is available for only 26 HAV isolates. The complete genome sequence of genotype IA HAV from strains isolated in South America, where genotype IA is the most prevalent genotype, remains unknown. In this study, the complete nucleotide sequence was determined for a genotype IA HAV isolate recovered from a Uruguayan patient (HAV5). Phylogenetic analysis performed using HAV5 and all available full-length IA genotype HAV strains revealed a high synonymous substitution rate throughout the HAV polyprotein. The results of these studies revealed strong selection against amino acid replacements along the HAV polyprotein and may explain, at least in part, the presence of a single HAV serotype.  相似文献

Summary.  Primer extension analysis was used to determine the presence of RNAs 4A and 5 in tomato aspermy virus (TAV) and both subgroups of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). RNAs 4A and 5 were detected in TAV and all CMV strains (representative of both subgroups) that were analysed, except for one subgroup I CMV strain which lacked detectable RNA 5. In subgroup II CMV strains the RNA 5 population was found to consist of two sequence variants. Comparison of the RNA 5 sequences from TAV and CMV indicated that TAV and subgroup II CMV RNA 5 share a much greater degree of sequence similarity than either has with subgroup I RNA 5. RNA 4A and the encoded 2b protein appear to be unique to the cucumovirus genus of the tripartite viruses, which share an otherwise common genome structure, and may have played a role in the evolutionary origin of this genus.

Until recently, there was no cell line that could produce continuously high-titer duck hepatitis virus type 1 (DHV-1). In this study, a duck embryo fibroblast (DEF) cell line was established, and the susceptibility of this cell line to DHV-1 was determined. The primary culture of DEF cells was from a duck embryo that was partially digested with trypsin. Digested tissue pieces were cultured at 37°C in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. The cultured DEF cells, which had the morphology of fibroblast, proliferated to 100% confluence four days later. An immortalized DEF cell line, named DEF-TA, was established and subcultured to passage 33, and the susceptibility of that cell line to DHV-1 was determined. In the DHV-1 susceptibility tests, cytopathic effects and the propagation of virus were observed in DEF-TA cells after DHV-1 infection. This continuous DHV-1-susceptible DEF cell line may serve as a valuable cell line for studies of cell-virus interactions and the pathogenesis of DHV-1 and may be useful for the development of an inactivated vaccine.  相似文献

Duck hepatitis can be caused by four types of viruses: duck hepatitis virus (DHV) type 1 (DHV-1), DHV-1a (a variant strain of DHV-1), DHV-2 and DHV-3. In Korea, duck hepatitis has been associated with two types of DHV-1, original DHV-1 type-specific strain (DHV-1s) and the recently reported DHV-1 variant strains (DHV-1v). The pathogenicity and pathological findings of ducklings infected with the recent DHV-1v isolates, AP-04114 and AP-04203, were almost identical to those infected with members of the DHV-1s, DHV-HS and the type-specific strain DRL-62. To be able to monitor the epidemiological patterns exhibited by the two Korean types, a specific gene-based differential diagnostic method based on multiplex polymerase chain reaction was developed. The primers selected were designed to bind to and amplify conserved regions within the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (3D) gene, the complete capsid (P1) region or the 5′-untranslated region to distinguish between the DHV-1s and DHV-1v groups. The described multiplex polymerase chain reaction method was able to selectively recognize ducklings infected with either of the two groups of Korean isolates. The method was also able to distinguish between DHVs and other avian-originated RNA viruses. The detection limit of the diagnostic method was determined to correspond to 103 copies viral RNA and 100 pg used as starting template. As a result, the use of this test allows rapid and early diagnosis of two different virus types affecting the commercial duckling industry.  相似文献
