中蜂囊状幼虫病病毒的三维结构

提取纯化中蜂囊状幼虫病病毒(CSBV)的RNA,通过RT-PCR扩增获得1069bp的DNA片段,将其克隆到pGEM-T Easy载体上.测序分析表明,该段基因序列与意蜂囊状幼虫病病毒(SBV)基因序列的同源性为87.6%,与之对应的氨基酸序列的一致性高达94.6%,说明CSBV是与SBV十分相似而又不相同的病毒.在此基础上,应用冷冻电子显微镜与计算机三维重构方法测得病毒颗粒的三维结构,分辨率为2.5nm,其衣壳按T=1(p=3)的对称二十面体结构排列,表面光滑,有12个五邻体和132个孔洞.研究还发现,病毒内部的核酸是按5-3-2对称的二十面体结构排列,这种排列方式在细小RNA病毒中尚未见报道.     

Three-dimensional structure of the Chinese Sacbrood bee virus

The RNA of Chinese Sacbrood Bee Virus (CSBV) was purified and used as template to obtain a 1096 bp cDNA fragment by RT-PCR amplification. This DNA fragment was cloned into pGEM-T Easy Vector for sequencing. Analyses of the sequenced CSBV RNA fragment revealed a nucleotide sequence homology of 87.6% and a deduced amino-acid sequence homology of 94.6% with that of the Sacbrood Virus (SBV), indicating that CSBV is a different but highly homologous virus of SBV. The three-dimensional (3D) structure of CSBV was determined at 2.5 nm resolution by using electron cryo-microscopy (cryoEM) and computer reconstruction methods. The 3-D structure showed that the capsid has aT = 1 (orP = 3) icosahedral capsid shell with a smooth surface. There were 12 pentons at its icosahedral vertices (5-fold axes) and 132 holes penetrating the shell. The 3-D structure also revealed densities corresponding to the CSBV genome, suggesting icosahedrally-ordered RNA organization, a novel feature not previously reported for any picornaviruses.
