The complete nucleotide sequence of the neuraminidase (NA) gene of WSN/33 (H1N1) virus was determined. The entire sequence was derived from the insert of cDNA clones, except the last 20 nucleotides, which were determined by primer extension. The WSN NA gene contained 1,409 nucleotides beginning at the 5' end (sense strand), with an untranslated region of 19 nucleotides followed by 1,359 nucleotides coding for 453 amino acids and finally ending with a 31-nucleotide sequence of untranslated region at the 3' termini. The amino acid sequence of WSN NA, as deduced from the DNA sequence, showed the presence of a stretch of 29 amino acids (7 to 35) enriched in hydrophobic amino acids, which may anchor the protein into the viral or cellular membrane. When compared with the PR8 NA sequence, WSN NA appeared to possess a similar structure, including the identical location of all cysteine and proline residues. However, WSN NA contained only three of the five potential glycosylation sites present in PR8 NA. Additionally, WSN NA contained a substitution of a five-amino acid sequence for a six-amino acid sequence in PR8 NA. The possible significance of these sequence changes in the primary structure of WSN NA in the unique role of WSN NA as a virulence factor in mouse brain and MDBK cells is discussed.  相似文献

Our previous studies with influenza A viruses indicated that the association of M1 with viral RNA and nucleoprotein (NP) is required for the efficient formation of helical ribonucleoprotein (RNP) and for the nuclear export of RNPs. RNA-binding domains of M1 map to the following two independent regions: a zinc finger motif at amino acid positions 148 to 162 and a series of basic amino acids (RKLKR) at amino acid positions 101 to 105. Altering the zinc finger motif of M1 reduces viral growth slightly. A substitution of Ser for Arg at either position 101 or position 105 of the RKLKR domain partially reduces the nuclear export of RNP and viral replication. To further understand the role of the zinc finger motif and the RKLKR domain in viral assembly and replication, we introduced multiple mutations by using reverse genetics to modify these regions of the M gene of influenza virus A/WSN/33. Of multiple mutants analyzed, a double mutant, R101S-R105S, of RKLKR resulted in a temperature-sensitive phenotype. The R101S-R105S double mutant had a greatly reduced ratio of M1 to NP in viral particles and a weaker binding of M1 to RNPs. These results suggest that mutations can be introduced into the RKLKR domain to control viral replication.  相似文献

The neuraminidase (NA) gene of influenza A/WSN/33 (WSN) virus has previously been shown to be associated with neurovirulence in mice and growth in Madin-Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cells. Nucleotide sequence analysis has indicated that the NA of WSN virus lacks a conserved glycosylation site at position 130 (corresponding to position 146 in the N2 subtype). To investigate the role of this carbohydrate in viral pathogenicity, we used reverse genetics methods to generate a Glyc+ mutant virus, in which the glycosylation site Asn-130 was introduced into the WSN virus NA. Unlike the wild-type WSN virus, the Glyc+ mutant virus did not undergo multicycle replication in MDBK cells in the absence of trypsin, presumably because of lack of cleavage activation of infectivity. In contrast, revertant viruses derived from the Glyc+ mutant were able to replicate in MDBK cells without exogenous protease. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed that the NAs of the revertant viruses had lost the introduced glycosylation site. In contrast to wild-type and revertant viruses, the Glyc+ mutant virus was not able to multiply in mouse brain. These results suggest that the absence of a glycosylation site at position 130 of the NA plays a key role in the neurovirulence of WSN virus in mice.  相似文献

Polymerase basic protein 2 (PB2), a component of the influenza virus polymerase complex, when expressed alone from cloned cDNA in the absence of other influenza virus proteins, is transported into the nucleus. In this study, we have examined the nuclear translocation signal of PB2 by making deletions and mutations in the PB2 sequence. Our studies showed that two distant regions in the polypeptide sequence were involved in the nuclear translocation of PB2. In one region, four basic residues (K-736 R K R) played a critical role in the nuclear translocation of PB2, since the deletion or mutation of these residues rendered the protein totally cytoplasmic. However, seven residues (M K R K R N S) of this region, including the four basic residues, failed to translocate a cytoplasmic reporter protein into the nucleus, suggesting that these sequences were necessary but not sufficient for nuclear translocation. Deletion of another region (amino acids 449 to 495) resulted in a mutant protein which was cytoplasmic with a perinuclear distribution. This novel phenotype suggests that a perinuclear binding step was involved prior to translocation of PB2 across the nuclear pore and that a signal might be involved in perinuclear binding. Possible involvement of these two signal sequences in the nuclear localization of PB2 is discussed.  相似文献

IFIT(Interferon induced proteins with tetratricopeptide repeats)家族基因是一组较早发现的干扰素刺激基因,它在抗病毒和免疫调节中发挥了重要作用。为研究IFIT家族基因抑制A型流感病毒复制的机理,利用高通量RNA深度测序(RNA-Seq)技术发现A型流感病毒A/WSN/33(WSN)毒株感染293T细胞后,IFIT家族基因均出现明显上调。同时发现在IFIT2、IFIT3过表达后,流感病毒的复制和转录均有明显下调,并对v RNP聚合酶活性具有剂量依赖型的抑制作用。进一步研究证明在感染IFIT2、IFIT3编码蛋白与流感病毒非结构蛋白(NS1)存在细胞内共定位,证明二者存在相互作用的可能。综上所述,IFIT家族基因可以抑制A型流感病毒的复制和转录,有助于进一步阐明宿主因子对流感病毒感染的调节机制。  相似文献

In polarized MDCK cells influenza virus (A/WSN/33) neuraminidase (NA) and human transferrin receptor (TR), type II glycoproteins, when expressed from cloned cDNAs, were transported and accumulated preferentially on the apical and basolateral surfaces, respectively. We have investigated the signals for polarized sorting by constructing chimeras between NA and TR and by making deletion mutants. NATR delta 90, which contains the cytoplasmic tail and transmembrane domain of NA and the ectodomain of TR, was found to be localized predominantly on the apical membrane, whereas TRNA delta 35, containing the cytoplasmic and transmembrane domains of TR and the ectodomain of NA, was expressed preferentially on the basolateral membrane. TR delta 57, a TR deletion mutant lacking 57 amino acids in the TR cytoplasmic tail, did not exhibit any polarized expression and was present on both apical and basolateral surfaces, whereas a deletion mutant (NA delta 28-35) lacking amino acid residues from 28 to 35 in the transmembrane domain of NA resulted in secretion of the NA ectodomain predominantly from the apical side. These results taken together indicate that the cytoplasmic tail of TR was sufficient for basolateral transport, but influenza virus NA possesses two sorting signals, one in the cytoplasmic or transmembrane domain and the other within the ectodomain, both of which are independently able to transport the protein to the apical plasma membrane.  相似文献

The coding region of influenza A virus RNA segment 7 from the 1918 pandemic virus, consisting of the open reading frames of the two matrix genes M1 and M2, has been sequenced. While this segment is highly conserved among influenza virus strains, the 1918 sequence does not match any previously sequenced influenza virus strains. The 1918 sequence matches the consensus over the M1 RNA-binding domains and nuclear localization signal and the highly conserved transmembrane domain of M2. Amino acid changes that correlate with high yield and pathogenicity in animal models were not found in the 1918 strain. Phylogenetic analyses suggest that both genes were mammalian adapted and that the 1918 sequence is very similar to the common ancestor of all subsequent human and classical swine matrix segments. The 1918 sequence matches other mammalian strains at 4 amino acids in the extracellular domain of M2 that differ consistently between avian and mammalian strains, suggesting that the matrix segment may have been circulating in human strains for at least several years before 1918.  相似文献

The complete nucleotide sequence of RNA segment 1 of influenza virus A/NT/60/68, corresponding to the PB2 protein, has been determined. It is 2341 nucleotides long, encoding a predicted product of 759 amino acids with a net charge of +27 1/2 at neutral pH. The predicted amino acid sequence has been compared to the equivalent sequences in influenza viruses A/PR/8/34 and A/WSN/33. Evolutionary divergence, assuming a direct lineage from A/PR/8/34 and allowing for "laboratory drift", is 0.08% per year. The alignment of RNA segment 10 of A/NT/60/68 with segments 1 and 3 is completed, confirming that it is a mosaic of regions from these two segments.  相似文献

We investigated the properties of ts51, an influenza virus (A/WSN/33) temperature-sensitive RNA segment 7 mutant. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed that ts51 possesses a single nucleotide mutation, T-261----C, in RNA segment 7, resulting in a single amino acid change. Phenylalanine (position 79) in the wild-type M1 protein was substituted by serine in ts51. This mutation was phenotypically characterized by dramatic nuclear accumulation of the M1 protein and interfered with some steps at the late stage of virus replication, possibly affecting the assembly and/or budding of viral particles. However, although M1 protein was retained within the nucleus, export of the newly synthesized viral ribonucleoprotein containing the minus-strand RNA into the cytoplasm was essentially the same at both permissive and nonpermissive temperatures. The roles of M1 in the export of viral ribonucleoproteins from the nucleus into the cytoplasm and in the virus particle assembly process are discussed.  相似文献

The complete primary structure of cDNA for hemagglutinin gene of influenza virus A/FPV/weybridge/27 subtype H7 has been determined. Its comparison with the structures of analogous genes from other strains of the same subtype has shown 75% of base changes resulting in silent mutations. This suggests the weak immunological pressing in course of evolution of this subtype strains. The reason for apathogenicity of this avian strain is supposed to be elimination of a glycosylation site present in the strain A/FPV/Rostock/34. The possibility of using the obtained data for construction of the new generation of vaccines is discussed.  相似文献

Polymerase basic protein 1 (PB1) of influenza virus (A/WSN/33), when expressed from cloned cDNA in the absence of other viral proteins, accumulates in the nucleus. We have examined the location and nature of the nuclear localization signal of PB1 by using deletion mutants and chimeric constructions with chicken muscle pyruvate kinase, a cytoplasmic protein. Our studies showed some novel features of the nuclear localization signal of PB1. The signal was present internally within residues 180 to 252 of PB1. Moreover, unlike most nuclear localization signals, it was not a single stretch of contiguous amino acids. Instead, it possessed two discontinuous regions separated by an intervening sequence which could be deleted without affecting its nuclear localization property. On the other hand, deletion of either of the two signal regions rendered the protein cytoplasmic, indicating that the function of both regions is required for nuclear localization and that one region alone is not sufficient. Both of these signal regions contained short stretches of basic residues. Possible ways by which this novel bipartite signal can function in nuclear localization are discussed.  相似文献

The complete nucleotide sequence of the N1 neuraminidase gene of influenza virus A/USSR/90/77 was determined. Comparison of its predicted amino acid sequence with other N1 and N2 neuraminidases indicates that the N1 neuraminidases share most of the antigenic determinants mapped on the N2 neuraminidase but display at least one additional potentially antigenic region probably as a result of intersubtypic differences in glycosylation.  相似文献

The complete nucleotide sequence of the hemagglutinin gene of influenza virus A/USSR/90/77 was determined. Comparison of hemagglutinin amino acid sequences from H1 field strains revealed five potential antigenic sites. Four of these sites correspond to those observed for H3 hemagglutinins, whereas the fifth apparently derives from differences in the glycosylation patterns between subtypes.  相似文献

Mapping mutations in influenza A virus resistant to norakin   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
To elucidate the mode of action of norakin against influenza A virus we sequenced the hemagglutinin gene of 11 norakin-resistant mutants. Resistance was coupled with 1-3 amino acid exchanges. The majority of mutations was localized in the HA2 polypeptide and was mostly associated with changes in charge or polarity of the amino acids. The amino acid substitutions are discussed in the context of the 3D structure of X31 hemagglutinin considered to be representative of the influenza hemagglutinins. Most of the mutations appear to destabilize the pH 7.0 structure by distorting or destroying hydrogen bonds as well as salt-bridges which are responsible for intra- and intersubunit contacts, while others destabilize the location of the fusion peptide, facilitating conformational changes in the presence of the inhibitor.  相似文献

Evolution of the nucleoprotein gene of influenza A virus   总被引:11,自引:8,他引:11       下载免费PDF全文
Nucleotide sequences of 24 nucleoprotein (NP) genes isolated from a wide range of hosts, geographic regions, and influenza A virus serotypes and 18 published NP gene sequences were analyzed to determine evolutionary relationships. The phylogeny of NP genes was determined by a maximum-parsimony analysis of nucleotide sequences. Phylogenetic analysis showed that NP genes have evolved into five host-specific lineages, including (i) Equine/Prague/56 (EQPR56), (ii) recent equine strains, (iii) classic swine (H1N1 swine, e.g., A/Swine/Iowa/15/30) and human strains, (iv) gull H13 viruses, and (v) avian strains (including North American, Australian, and Old World subgroups). These NP lineages match the five RNA hybridization groups identified by W. J. Bean (Virology 133:438-442, 1984). Maximum nucleotide differences among the NPs was 18.5%, but maximum amino acid differences reached only 10.8%, reflecting the conservative nature of the NP protein. Evolutionary rates varied among lineages; the human lineage showed the highest rate (2.54 nucleotide changes per year), followed by the Old World avian lineage (2.17 changes per year) and the recent equine lineage (1.22 changes per year). The per-nucleotide rates of human and avian NP gene evolution (1.62 x 10(-3) to 1.39 x 10(-3) changes per year) are lower than that reported for human NS genes (2.0 x 10(-3) changes per year; D. A. Buonagurio, S. Nakada, J. D. Parvin, M. Krystal, P. Palese, and W. M. Fitch, Science 232:980-982, 1986). Of the five NP lineages, the human lineage showed the greatest evolution at the amino acid level; over a period of 50 years, human NPs have accumulated 39 amino acid changes. In contrast, the avian lineage showed remarkable conservatism; over the same period, avian NP proteins changed by 0 to 10 amino acids. The specificity of the H13 NP in gulls and its distinct evolutionary separation from the classic avian lineage suggests that H13 NPs may have a large degree of adaptation to gulls. The presence of avian and human NPs in some swine isolates demonstrates the susceptibility of swine to different virus strains and supports the hypothesis that swine may serve as intermediates for the introduction of avian influenza virus genes into the human virus gene pool. EQPR56 is relatively distantly related to all other NP lineages, which suggests that this NP is rooted closest to the ancestor of all contemporary NPs. On the basis of estimation of evolutionary rates from nucleotide branch distances, current NP lineages are at least 100 years old, and the EQPR56 NP is much older.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)  相似文献

A trypsin inhibitor, 6-amidino-2-naphthyl p-guanidinobenzoate (FUTHAN) reduced both the number and size of plaques of influenza virus A/WSN/33 (H1N1) that can grow without trypsin treatment in MDCK cells. The resulting virus particles with uncleaved hemagglutinin (HA) in the presence of FUTHAN was activated to produce infectious virions by trypsin treatment. Uncleaved HA of WSN virus grown in the presence of FUTHAN was found to be accumulated by protein analysis of WSN virus labeled biosynthetically with [35S]-methionine. It was strongly suggested that FUTHAN inhibited viral replication by preventing proteolytic cleavage of HA.  相似文献
