减蛋综合征病毒四川分离株六邻体蛋白基因的序列分析

According to the nucleotide sequence of egg drop syndrome virus(EDSV)AV-127 strain (a foreign standard isolate)from the GenBank,a pair of oligonucleotide primers was designed and synthesizedWith use of polymerase chain reaction(PCR),the hexon-encoding gene fragment was amplified from the genome of EDSV SG9301 strain that was isolated from Sichuan Province of China and the amplified fragment was directly inserted into pMD-T vectorThe recombinant plasmid harboring the hexon-encoding gene was identified by digestion of restriction endonucleases and PCRThen,a positive clone was sequencedThe result showed that the recombinant plasmid contained the complete sequence of the hexon-encoding gene and the hexon-encoding gene was 2733 base pair long which encoded 910 amino acids, identical with AV-127 strain and AAV-2 strain (an attenuated strain)Comparison with AV-127 strain indicated that there was 9985% homology at the nucleotide levelThe homology of the deduced amino acid sequence with AV-127 strain and AAv-2 strain was over 98%,which indicated that the hexon protein was conservativeBut comparatively,the homology of the hexon protein of SG9301 strain with AV-127 strain was higher(9978%),the homology of the hexon protein of AAV-2 strain with AV-127 strain and SG9301 strain were 9868% and 9846% respectivelyComparison of nucleotides and amino acids suggested that the biological character is consistent with the homologies of nucleotide and amino acid of the hexon(Namely,the homology of the hexon of virulence strain with virulence strain was higher than that of virulence strain with attenuated strain),the hexon was one of the most conserved viral proteins among EDSV strains
