Translation of the minor capsid protein of a calicivirus is initiated by a novel termination-dependent reinitiation mechanism

Caliciviruses represent a family of positive strand RNA viruses responsible for a variety of syndromes in man and animals. VP10, a minor structural protein of the calicivirus rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus, is encoded in the small 3'-terminal open reading frame (ORF) 2 and is translated with an efficiency of approximately 20% of the preceding ORF1. The presence of the ORF1 termination codon is crucial for VP10 expression. Translation of VP10 starts at an AUG codon located at positions -5 to -3 of the ORF1 termination codon. However, VP10 was also expressed in the absence of an AUG initiation codon. The majority of ORF1 could be deleted or replaced by different sequences without significant influence on VP10 expression as long as translation terminated at the given position. The RNA sequence of the 3'-terminal 84 nucleotides of ORF1 but not the encoded peptide was found to be crucial for VP10 expression. In contrast, nearly the entire ORF2 could be replaced by a foreign sequence without abrogation of its translation. Accordingly, VP10 is expressed in a translation termination/reinitiation process that is particular because it is independent of an AUG translational start codon and requires the presence of a sequence element upstream of the initiation site.     

Primary structure of the potato virus X genome: the region preceding the capsid protein cistron

DNA copies of the potato virus X (PVX) RNA corresponding to 2300 nucleotides at the 3'-end have been cloned. The cloned cDNA copies containing the nucleotides 445-1280 from the 3'-end have been sequenced. The 5'-terminal region of the PVX coat protein gene corresponds to residues 445-786 from the 3'-end. The amino acid sequences of two more open reading frames (ORF) have been deduced from the nucleotide sequence. The potential translation products of these ORF's would correspond to the nonstructural viral proteins. We have located the ORF1 within the region of residues 799-1009 preceding the coat protein cistron. The tentative protein is composed of 70 amino acids and has an aminoterminal segment which is markedly hydrophobic. ORF2 in the PVX sequence ends with UAG at nucleotides 942-944 and extends to the 5'-terminus for additional 340 nucleotides. The distant sequence homology exists between a carboxyterminal portion of PVX ORF2 and that of the nonstructural "30 K-proteins" of the plant tobamoviruses.     

The complete nucleotide sequence and its organization of the genome of Barley yellow dwarf virus-GAV

The Barley yellow dwarf disease (BYD) was firstly recognized as an aphid transmitted virus disease by Oswald and Houston[1] in 1951. Now, Barley yel-low dwarf viruses (BYDVs) belong to members of the plant virus family Luteoviridae. They are phloem- limited and obligately transmitted in the circula-tive/persistent manner by several species of cereal aphids and can cause significant economic losses worldwide because of damage to barley, wheat, and oats. In China, BYDVs cause mainly yello…     

The complete nucleotide sequence and its organization of the genome of Barley yellow dwarf virus-GAV

The complete nucleotide sequence of genomic RNA of BYDV-GAV was determined. It comprised 5685 nucleotides and contained six open reading frames and four un-translated regions. The size and organization of BYDV-GAV genome were similar to those of BYDV PAV-aus. The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of the six ORFs were aligned and compared with those of other luteoviruses. The results showed that there was a high degree of identity between BYDV-GAV and MAV-PS1 in all ORFs except ORF5 and ORF6, which had only 87.4% and 70.2% identities respectively. The reported genomic nucleotide sequence of MAV was shorter than that of BYDV-GAV, but the comparison of the genomic nucleotide sequences for MAV-PS1 and GAV showed 90.4% sequence identity for the same region of the genome. According to the level of sequence similarities, BYDV-GAV should be closely related to BYDV-MAV.     

A bipartite sequence motif induces translation reinitiation in feline calicivirus RNA

The mechanism leading to reinitiation of translation after termination of protein synthesis in eukaryotes has not yet been resolved in detail. One open question concerns the way the post-termination ribosome is tethered to the mRNA to allow binding of the necessary initiation factors. In caliciviruses, a family of positive strand RNA viruses, the capsid protein VP2 is translated via a termination/reinitiation process. VP2 of the feline calicivirus is encoded in the 3'-terminal open reading frame 3 (ORF3) that overlaps with the preceding ORF2 by four nucleotides. In transient expression studies, the efficiency of VP2 expression was 20 times lower than that of the ORF2 proteins. The close vicinity of the ORF2 termination signal and the ORF3 AUG codon was crucial, whereas the AUG could be replaced by alternative codons. Deletion mapping revealed that the 3'-terminal 69 nucleotides of ORF2 are crucial for VP2 expression. This sequence contains two essential sequence motifs. The first motif is conserved among caliciviruses and complementary to part of the 18 S rRNA. In conclusion, VP2 is expressed in a translation termination/reinitiation process that is special because it requires a sequence element that could prevent dissociation of post-termination ribosomes via hybridization with 18 S rRNA.     

The complete nucleotide sequence of RNA beta from the type strain of barley stripe mosaic virus.

The complete nucleotide sequence of RNA beta from the type strain of barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV) has been determined. The sequence is 3289 nucleotides in length and contains four open reading frames (ORFs) which code for proteins of Mr 22,147 (ORF1), Mr 58,098 (ORF2), Mr 17,378 (ORF3), and Mr 14,119 (ORF4). The predicted N-terminal amino acid sequence of the polypeptide encoded by the ORF nearest the 5'-end of the RNA (ORF1) is identical (after the initiator methionine) to the published N-terminal amino acid sequence of BSMV coat protein for 29 of the first 30 amino acids. ORF2 occupies the central portion of the coding region of RNA beta and ORF3 is located at the 3'-end. The ORF4 sequence overlaps the 3'-region of ORF2 and the 5'-region of ORF3 and differs in codon usage from the other three RNA beta ORFs. The coding region of RNA beta is followed by a poly(A) tract and a 238 nucleotide tRNA-like structure which are common to all three BSMV genomic RNAs.     

The 3' end of Norwalk virus mRNA contains determinants that regulate the expression and stability of the viral capsid protein VP1: a novel function for the VP2 protein

Norwalk virus (NV) is the prototype strain of a group of noncultivable human caliciviruses responsible for epidemic outbreaks of acute gastroenteritis. The capsid protein VP1 is synthesized from a subgenomic RNA that contains two open reading frames (ORFs), ORF2 and ORF3, and the 3' untranslated region (UTR). ORF2 and ORF3 code for the capsid protein (VP1) and a small structural basic protein (VP2), respectively. We discovered that the yields of virus-like particles (VLPs) composed of VP1 are significantly reduced when this protein is expressed from ORF2 alone. To determine how the 3' terminus of the NV subgenomic RNA regulates VP1 expression, we compared VP1 expression levels by using recombinant baculovirus constructs containing different 3' elements. High VP1 levels were detected by using a recombinant baculovirus that contained ORF2, ORF3, and the 3'UTR (ORF2+3+3'UTR). In contrast, expression of VP1 from constructs that lacked the 3'UTR (ORF2+3), ORF3 (ORF2+3'UTR), or both (ORF2 alone) was highly reduced. Elimination of VP2 synthesis from the subgenomic RNA by mutation resulted in VP1 levels similar to those obtained with the ORF2 construct alone, suggesting a cis role for VP2 in upregulation of VP1 expression levels. Comparisons of the kinetics of RNA and capsid protein expression levels by using constructs with or without ORF3 or the 3'UTR revealed that the 3'UTR increased the levels of VP1 RNA, whereas the presence of VP2 resulted in increased levels of VP1. Furthermore, VP2 increased VP1 stability and protected VP1 from disassembly and protease degradation. The increase in VP1 expression levels caused by the presence of VP2 in cis was also observed in mammalian cells.
