我国麻疹病毒流行株的H和N基因变异速率探讨

从GenBank检索并下载了我国近40年的麻疹病毒血凝素蛋白(H)和核蛋白(N)的全基因组序列,用Bioedit7.0软件对参考株和代表株进行序列比对,并进行氨基酸进化树的构建,进一步从氨基酸层面分析麻疹流行株的变化速率。结果显示麻疹病毒H蛋白发生的变异,表现为近十年的变异率(1.33×10-3)大约为前三十年变异率(0.95×10-3)的1.4倍,而N蛋白发生的变异,表现为近些年的变异率(1.90×10-3)大约为前三十年变异率(1.01×10-3)的1.8倍。本研究结果提示麻疹病毒近年变异率有增快的趋势,今后需加强对麻疹病毒基因型变异和演变的监测。

1995～2005年中国H3N2亚型人流感病毒血凝素基因变异与流行相关性研究

为了探讨中国H3N2亚型人流感病毒血凝素基因变异与流行关系,对1995～2005年中国分离的550株H3N2流感病毒的HA1序列进行分析.HA1基因进化树显示出以很长的主干和很短的侧枝为特征.HA1的氨基酸位点变异主要位于5个已知的抗原位点及其附近,同时其它位点也有改变.通过对HA1序列资料分析发现这期间导致H3N2流行的序列改变的三种可能,第一种是同时出现多位点变化,第二种是位点变化逐渐发生累积到多个位点变化,第三种是单个抗原位点和受体结合位点同时改变,均可以引起H3N2流行.     

浙江省麻疹病毒的基因特征分析

目的分析浙江省流行的麻疹病毒(MV)的基因特征,为更好地防控麻疹提供科学参考。方法从GenBank检索并下载浙江省所有麻疹病毒株、中国麻疹疫苗株和WHO推荐参考株的血凝素蛋白(H)和核蛋白(N)的基因组序列,利用MEGA 6.0软件进行比对分析,构建种系进化树,确定浙江省麻疹病毒流行的基因型别,并进行同源性和基因变异分析。结果浙江省麻疹病毒以H1基因型为主(27株),其他基因型为辅(2株B3型)。H1a亚型(21/27)占绝对优势,其次为H1b亚型(6/27)。浙江省所有毒株间H蛋白的氨基酸同源性为96.9%~100.0%,与疫苗株Shanghai-191和Changchun-47的同源性均为95.0%~96.0%。浙江省所有毒株间N蛋白羧基末端的氨基酸同源性为82.7%~100.0%,与疫苗株Shanghai-191的同源性为85.8%~89.5%,与疫苗株Changchun-47的同源性为87.3%~91.0%。结论麻疹病毒H1基因型为浙江省麻疹流行的优势株,与现行参考疫苗株(A基因型)差异较大,因此针对麻疹病毒H1基因型疫苗的研制是今后浙江省麻疹病毒防控的关键。     

HIV-1包膜基因变异的体外研究

采用亚型测定、核苷酸和氨基酸序列测定和同源性分析等方法,观察了HIV-1 ⅢB毒株在实验室长期传代过程中包膜基因变异的情况.研究的毒株包括:经过实验室8年多连续使用而获得的毒株、在MT4细胞长期连续传代而获得的每间隔10代的毒株样品及多次更换宿主细胞传代而获得的毒株.主要结果有:(1)各种毒株包膜基因变异均不显著,核苷酸序列同源性均大于92%,变异距离均小于7.5%,且随着传代数增加核苷酸趋于稳定,代间同源性由92%上升至99%,而变异距离由7.5%下降为0.6%.(2)在传代过程中HIV-1亚型保持稳定,各种毒株均为HIV-1 B3亚型.结果显示HIV在体外长期传代培养的过程中变异不大,遗传性状稳定,可能是体外生长的环境十分稳定,缺乏机体免疫学压力.结果也提示体外长期传代HIV毒株仍然适用于各种HIV的应用研究,用长期传代的方法发展HIV-减毒活疫苗的可能性不大.

The H Gene of Rodent Brain-Adapted Measles Virus Confers Neurovirulence to the Edmonston Vaccine Strain

Molecular determinants of neuropathogenesis have been shown to be present in the hemagglutinin (H) protein of measles virus (MV). An H gene insertion vector has been generated from the Edmonston B vaccine full-length infectious clone of MV. Using this vector, it is possible to insert complete H open reading frames into the parental (Edtag) background. The H gene from a rodent brain-adapted MV strain (CAM/RB) was inserted into this vector, and a recombinant virus (EdtagCAMH) was rescued by using a modified vaccinia virus which expresses T7 RNA polymerase (MVA-T7). The recombinant virus grew at an equivalent rate and to similar titers as the CAM/RB and Edtag parental viruses. Neurovirulence was assayed in a mouse model for MV encephalitis. Viruses were injected intracerebrally into the right cortex of C57/BL/6 suckling mice. After infection mice inoculated with the CAM/RB strain developed hind limb paralysis and ataxia. Clinical symptoms were never observed with an equivalent dose of Edtag virus or in sham infections. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to detect viral antigen in formalin-fixed brain sections. Measles antigen was observed in neurons and neuronal processes of the hippocampus, frontal, temporal, and olfactory cortices and neostriatum on both sides of symmetrical structures. Viral antigen was not detected in mice infected with Edtag virus. Mice infected with the recombinant virus, EdtagCAMH, became clinically ill, and virus was detected by IHC in regions of the brain similar to those in which it was detected in animals infected with CAM/RB. The EdtagCAMH infection had, however, progressed much less than the CAM/RB virus at 4 days postinfection. It therefore appears that additional determinants are encoded in other regions of the MV genome which are required for full neurovirulence equivalent to CAM/RB. Nevertheless, replacement of the H gene alone is sufficient to cause neuropathology.     

Rate Variation as a Function of Gene Origin in Plastid-Derived Genes of Peridinin-Containing Dinoflagellates

Peridinin-pigmented dinoflagellates contain secondary plastids that seem to have undergone more nearly complete plastid genome reduction than other eukaryotes. Many typically plastid-encoded genes appear to have been transferred to the nucleus, with a few remaining genes found on minicircles. To understand better the evolution of the dinoflagellate plastid, four categories of plastid-associated genes in dinoflagellates were defined based on their history of transfer and evaluated for rate of sequence evolution, including minicircle genes (presumably plastid-encoded), genes probably transferred from the plastid to the nucleus (plastid-transferred), and genes that were likely acquired directly from the nucleus of the previous plastid host (nuclear-transferred). The fourth category, lateral-transferred genes, are plastid-associated genes that do not appear to have a cyanobacterial origin. The evolutionary rates of these gene categories were compared using relative rate tests and likelihood ratio tests. For comparison with other secondary plastid-containing organisms, rates were calculated for the homologous sequences from the haptophyte Emiliania huxleyi. The evolutionary rate of minicircle and plastid-transferred genes in the dinoflagellate was strikingly higher than that of nuclear-transferred and lateral-transferred genes and, also, substantially higher than that of all plastid-associated genes in the haptophyte. Plastid-transferred genes in the dinoflagellate had an accelerated rate of evolution that was variable but, in most cases, not as extreme as the minicircle genes. Furthermore, the nuclear-transferred and lateral-transferred genes showed rates of evolution that are similar to those of other taxa. Thus, nucleus-to-nucleus transferred genes have a more typical rate of sequence evolution, while those whose history was wholly or partially within the dinoflagellate plastid genome have a markedly accelerated rate of evolution.
