West Nile virus genome cyclization and RNA replication require two pairs of long-distance RNA interactions

West Nile virus (WNV) genome cyclization and replication require two pairs of long-distance RNA interactions. Besides the previously reported 5'CS/3'CSI (conserved sequence) interaction, a 5'UAR/3'UAR (upstream AUG region) interaction also contributes to genome cyclization and replication. WNVs containing mutant 5'UARs capable of forming the 5'/3' viral RNA interaction were replicative. In contrast, WNV containing a 5'UAR mutation that abolished the 5'/3' viral RNA interaction was non-replicative; however, the replication defect could be rescued by a single-nucleotide adaptation that restored the 5'/3' RNA interaction. The 5'UAR/3'UAR interaction is critical for RNA synthesis, but not for viral translation. Antisense oligomers targeting the 5'UAR/3'UAR interaction effectively inhibited WNV replication. Phylogenic analysis showed that the 3'UAR could alternate between pairing with the 5'UAR or with the 3' end of the flaviviral genome. Therefore, the 5'UAR/3'UAR pairing may release the 3' end of viral genome (as a template) during the initiation of minus-strand RNA synthesis.     

Anti-beta2-glycoprotein I antibodies in complex with beta2-glycoprotein I can activate platelets in a dysregulated manner via glycoprotein Ib-IX-V

OBJECTIVE: Results of previous studies suggest that anti-beta2-glycoprotein I (anti-beta2GPI) antibodies in complex with beta2GPI activate platelets in a dysregulated manner, potentially contributing to the prothrombotic tendency associated with the antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). We undertook this study to investigate the possible contribution of the GPIb-IX-V receptor to platelet activation mediated by the anti-beta2GPI antibody-beta2GPI complex. METHODS: In vitro methods were used in the present study. The interaction between beta2GPI and the GPIbalpha subunit of the GPIb-IX-V receptor was delineated using direct binding and competitive inhibition assays. The interaction between the anti-beta2GPI antibody-beta2GPI complex and platelets was studied using a novel method in which the Fc portion of the antibody was immobilized using protein A coated onto a microtiter plate. Platelet activation was assessed by two methods; one involved measuring thromboxane B2 production and the other involved assessment of the activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt/glycogen synthase kinase 3beta intracellular signaling pathway. The contribution of the GPIbalpha receptor to platelet activation induced by the anti-beta2GPI antibody-beta2GPI complex was assessed by observing the influence of 2 anti-GPIbalpha antibodies (AK2 and SZ2) directed against distinct epitopes. RESULTS: This study showed that beta(2)GPI could bind to the GPIbalpha receptor. The anti-beta2GPI antibody-beta2GPI complex was able to activate platelets, and this effect was inhibited by anti-GPIbalpha antibody directed against epitope Leu-36-Gln-59, but not by anti-GPIbalpha antibody directed against residues Tyr-276-Glu-282. CONCLUSION: Our findings show that inappropriate platelet activation by the anti-beta2GPI antibody-beta2GPI complex via the GPIbalpha receptor may contribute to the prothrombotic tendency associated with APS.

Determination and application of immunodominant regions of SARS coronavirus spike and nucleocapsid proteins recognized by sera from different animal species

Knowledge of immunodominant regions in major viral antigens is important for rational design of effective vaccines and diagnostic tests. Although there have been many reports of such work done for SARS-CoV, these were mainly focused on the immune responses of humans and mice. In this study, we aim to search for and compare immunodominant regions of the spike (S) and nucleocapsid (N) proteins which are recognized by sera from different animal species, including mouse, rat, rabbit, civet, pig and horse. Twelve overlapping recombinant protein fragments were produced in Escherichia coli, six each for the S and N proteins, which covered the entire coding region of the two proteins. Using a membrane-strip based Western blot approach, the reactivity of each antigen fragment against a panel of animal sera was determined. Immunodominant regions containing linear epitopes, which reacted with sera from all the species tested, were identified for both proteins. The S3 fragment (aa 402-622) and the N4 fragment (aa 220-336) were the most immunodominant among the six S and N fragments, respectively. Antibodies raised against the S3 fragment were able to block the binding of a panel of S-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAb) to SARS-CoV in ELISA, further demonstrating the immunodominance of this region. Based on these findings, one-step competition ELISAs were established which were able to detect SARS-CoV antibodies from human and at least seven different animal species. Considering that a large number of animal species are known to be susceptible to SARS-CoV, these assays will be a useful tool to trace the origin and transmission of SARS-CoV and to minimise the risk of animal-to-human transmission.     

Separate molecules of West Nile virus methyltransferase can independently catalyze the N7 and 2'-O methylations of viral RNA cap

West Nile virus methyltransferase catalyzes N7 and 2'-O methylations of the viral RNA cap (GpppA-RNA-->m(7)GpppAm-RNA). The two methylation events are independent, as evidenced by efficient N7 methylation of GpppA-RNA-->m(7)GpppA-RNA and GpppAm-RNA-->m(7)GpppAm-RNA, and by the 2'-O methylation of GpppA-RNA-->GpppAm-RNA and m(7)GpppA-RNA-->m(7)GpppAm-RNA. However, the 2'-O methylation activity prefers substrate m(7)GpppA-RNA to GpppA-RNA, thereby determining the dominant methylation pathway as GpppA-RNA-->m(7)GpppA-RNA-->m(7)GpppAm-RNA. Mutant enzymes with different methylation defects can trans complement one another in vitro. Furthermore, sequential treatment of GpppA-RNA with distinct methyltransferase mutants generates fully methylated m(7)GpppAm-RNA, demonstrating that separate molecules of the enzyme can independently catalyze the two cap methylations in vitro.
