Morphology of temperate bacteriophage SfV and characterisation of the DNA packaging and capsid genes: the structural genes evolved from two different phage families

The entire genome of SfV, a temperate serotype-converting bacteriophage of Shigella flexneri, has recently been sequenced (Allison, G.E., Angeles, D., Tran-Dinh, N., Verma, N.K. 2002, J. Bacteriol. 184, 1974-1987). Based on the sequence analysis, we further characterised the SfV virion structure and morphogenesis. Electron microscopy indicated that SfV belongs to the Myoviridae morphology family. Analysis of the proteins encoded by orf1, orf2, and orf3 revealed that they were homologous to small and large terminase subunits, and portal proteins, respectively; the protein encoded by orf5 showed homology to capsid proteins. Western immunoblot of the phage with anti-SfV sera revealed two antigenic proteins, and the N-terminal amino acid sequence of the 32-kDa protein corresponded to amino acids 116 to 125 of the ORF5 protein, suggesting that the capsid may be processed. Functional analysis of orf4 showed that it encodes the phage capsid protease. The proteins encoded by orfs1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are homologous to similar proteins in the Siphoviridae phage family of both gram-positive and gram-negative origin. The capsid and morphogenesis genes are upstream and adjacent to the genes encoding Myoviridae (Mu-like) tail proteins. The organisation of the structural genes of SfV is therefore unique as the head and tail genes originate from different morphology groups.

丝氨酸蛋白酶HtrA2/Omi与细胞存亡

HtrA2/Omi是一种寡聚丝氨酸蛋白酶,存在于大部分的正常组织器官中。在最初的研究中发现[1],当细胞受到凋亡刺激时,HtrA2/Omi可由线粒体膜间隙(mitochondrial intermembrane space)释放进入细胞质中,接着出现大量的细胞凋亡性死亡,这些现象表明HtrA2/Omi与细胞死亡之间有着密切的关系[2]。随着近年来研究的不断深入,人们又惊奇地发现,它不仅出现在细胞凋亡的进程中,当细胞面对各种应激环境时,HtrA2/Omi活性和浓度也会上调,以增加细胞对刺激的耐受能力,使细胞得以生存下来。这是一对看似互相矛盾的事实,却更体现出HtrA2/Omi在细胞存亡调…     

Antibody dynamics to SARS-CoV-2 in asymptomatic COVID-19 infections

Background

The missing asymptomatic COVID-19 infections have been overlooked because of the imperfect sensitivity of the nucleic acid testing (NAT). Globally understanding the humoral immunity in asymptomatic carriers will provide scientific knowledge for developing serological tests, improving early identification, and implementing more rational control strategies against the pandemic.

Measure

Utilizing both NAT and commercial kits for serum IgM and IgG antibodies, we extensively screened 11 766 epidemiologically suspected individuals on enrollment and 63 asymptomatic individuals were detected and recruited. Sixty-three healthy individuals and 51 mild patients without any preexisting conditions were set as controls. Serum IgM and IgG profiles were further probed using a SARS-CoV-2 proteome microarray, and neutralizing antibody was detected by a pseudotyped virus neutralization assay system. The dynamics of antibodies were analyzed with exposure time or symptoms onset.

Results

A combination test of NAT and serological testing for IgM antibody discovered 55.5% of the total of 63 asymptomatic infections, which significantly raises the detection sensitivity when compared with the NAT alone (19%). Serum proteome microarray analysis demonstrated that asymptomatics mainly produced IgM and IgG antibodies against S1 and N proteins out of 20 proteins of SARS-CoV-2. Different from strong and persistent N-specific antibodies, S1-specific IgM responses, which evolved in asymptomatic individuals as early as the seventh day after exposure, peaked on days from 17 days to 25 days, and then disappeared in two months, might be used as an early diagnostic biomarker. 11.8% (6/51) mild patients and 38.1% (24/63) asymptomatic individuals did not produce neutralizing antibody. In particular, neutralizing antibody in asymptomatics gradually vanished in two months.

Conclusion

Our findings might have important implications for the definition of asymptomatic COVID-19 infections, diagnosis, serological survey, public health, and immunization strategies.
