Highly Efficient Base Editing in Viral Genome Based on Bacterial Artificial Chromosome Using a Cas9-Cytidine Deaminase Fused Protein

Viruses evolve rapidly and continuously threaten animal health and economy, posing a great demand for rapid and efficient genome editing technologies to study virulence mechanism and develop effective vaccine. We present a highly efficient viral genome manipulation method using CRISPR-guided cytidine deaminase. We cloned pseudorabies virus genome into bacterial artificial chromosome, and used CRISPR-guided cytidine deaminase to directly convert cytidine(C) to uridine(U) to induce premature stop mutagenesis in viral genes. The editing efficiencies were 100%. Comprehensive bioinformatic analysis revealed that a large number of editable sites exist in pseudorabies virus(PRV) genomes. Notably, in our study viral genome exists as a plasmid in E. coli, suggesting that this method is virus species-independent. This application of base-editing provided an alternative approach to generate mutant virus and might accelerate study on virulence and vaccine development.

伪狂犬病毒gE基因在昆虫细胞中的高效表达

In order to develop a simple and safe test for the detection of vaccinated as well as wild type Pseudorabies virus (PRV) infected pigs, the modified gE gene of PRV Ea strain, obtained by cutting the 5' UTR using PCR and DNA recombinant technique, was inserted into baculovirus expression vector pFastBac 1, resulting the trans-position plamid pFE1.75. After homologous recombination, recombinant baculovirus rvBacE1.75 was gained and high level expression of glycoprotein E (gE) was observed after the infection of rvBacE1.75 to Tn-5B1-4 cells. The expression product was 80-88 kD and was specific to antisera against PRV Ea strain by Western-blotting. Purified recombinant proteins were used as an antigen in Latex Agglutination Test(gE-LAT) and the test was specific, sensitive, safe and simple.

Proteomics Analysis Identifies IRSp53 and Fascin as Critical for PRV Egress and Direct Cell–Cell Transmission

Pseudorabies virus (PRV) has been widely used as a live trans‐synaptic tracer for mapping neuronal circuits. Systematically identifying mature PRV virion proteomes and defining co‐purified host proteins are necessary to fully understand the detailed mechanism underlying PRV transmission processes. Here, a PRV virion purification strategy based on sorting with flow cytometry is developed and the mature extracellular and intracellular PRV virion proteomes using LC coupled with MS/MS are characterized. In addition to viral proteins, a large number of host proteins are also identified, including proteins related to actin cytoskeletal dynamics and membrane protrusion. How many of these host proteins are true virion components are unknown and the majority of these may not be. Through functional analysis, it is found that IRSp53 and fascin are critical for the egress process and play a role in direct cell–cell transmission. Moreover, it is shown that CDC42 and Rac1 are also involved in the production of mature extracellular virions. The results suggest that the formation of the filopodia‐like cytoskeleton and the rearrangement of the membrane, which are both associated with IRSp53 and fascin, may be important for the transmission of viruses used in neuronal tracing.
