我国不同基因型水痘-带状疱疹病毒流行毒株gE基因序列分析

为进一步了解我国不同地区流行的水痘—带状疱疹病毒(VZV)病毒株的基因型分布和分析代表性病毒株gE基因序列。于2010年12月至2011年6月期间,收集来自北京市、长春市、拉萨市和乌鲁木齐市4个地区水痘和带状疱疹患者的疱疹液拭子和皮肤痂片,共计18份。用单个核苷酸多态性(SNP)谱的方法确定病毒株的基因型。然后采用聚合酶链反应(PCR)方法扩增gE基因的全长片段,并进行测序分析。SNP分析显示18个病毒株的基因型共为4种,其中有7株属于clade2遗传支,1株属于clade3遗传支,4株为clade5遗传支。另有6株病毒兼有不同遗传支的特征,按照目前国际通用的分型方法不能归属于任何明确的遗传支。对不同病毒株gE基因序列分析,除了发现3个国外已有报道的1个同义突变(T660C)和2个反义突变(C119T、C1606A),还发现了3个新的反义突变(C56T、C1109T和C917A)和4个同义突变(C54T、T1075C、T816C和G279A)。首次在我国新疆自治区发现了clade5遗传支的VZV,在长春市还发现了目前尚未能分型的6株病毒。对部分病毒株gE基因序列分析,在gE的e1和c1抗原表位的编码区内中检出1个新型反义突变(C917A),需要进一步研究该突变对该病毒免疫原性和致病性的影响。

Genetic variation and virulence of Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus and Trichoplusia ni single nucleopolyhedrovirus isolates

To determine the genetic diversity within the baculovirus species Autographa calfornica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV; Baculoviridae: Alphabaculovirus), a PCR-based method was used to identify and classify baculoviruses found in virus samples from the lepidopteran host species A. californica, Autographa gamma, Trichoplusia ni, Rachiplusia ou, Anagrapha falcifera, Galleria mellonella, and Heliothis virescens. Alignment and phylogenetic inference from partial nucleotide sequences of three highly conserved genes (lef-8, lef-9, and polh) indicated that 45 of 74 samples contained isolates of AcMNPV, while six samples contained isolates of Rachiplusia ou multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus strain R1 (RoMNPV-R1) and 25 samples contained isolates of the species Trichoplusia ni single nucleopolyhedrovirus (TnSNPV; Alphabaculovirus). One sample from A. californica contained a previously undescribed NPV related to alphabaculoviruses of the armyworm genus Spodoptera. Data from PCR and sequence analysis of the ie-2 gene and a region containing ORF ac86 in samples from the AcMNPV and RoMNPV clades indicated a distinct group of viruses, mostly from G. mellonella, that are characterized by an unusual ie-2 gene previously found in the strain Plutella xylostella multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus CL3 (PlxyMNPV-CL3) and a large deletion within ac86 previously described in the AcMNPV isolate 1.2 and PlxyMNPV-CL3. PCR and sequence analysis of baculovirus repeated ORF (bro) genes revealed that the bro gene ac2 was split into two separate bro genes in some samples from the AcMNPV clade. Comparison of sequences in this region suggests that ac2 was formed by a deletion that fused the two novel bro genes together. In bioassays of a selection of isolates against T. ni, significant differences were observed in the insecticidal properties of individual isolates, but no trends were observed among the AcMNPV, TnSNPV, or RoMNPV groups of isolates. This study expands on what we know about the variation of AcMNPV, AcMNPV-like and TnSNPV viruses, provides novel information on the distinct groups in which AcMNPV isolates occur, and contributes to data useful for the registration, evaluation, and improvement of AcMNPV, AcMNPV-like, and TnSNPV isolates as biological control agents.     

Nucleotide sequences and three-dimensional modelling of the VH and VL domains of two human monoclonal antibodies specific for the D antigen of the human Rh-blood-group system.

The nucleotide sequences were determined for the VH and VL domains of two human IgG1 antibodies, Pag-1 and Fog-B, specific for the D antigen of the Rh-blood-group system. The VH-region genes of the two antibodies were derived from separate germ-line genes within the VH-IV gene family, but both antibodies used the same JH6 gene. The D-region genes differed from each other, and no similarity was found to known D regions. The light chain of Fog-B belongs to the V lambda-I subgroup and that of Pag-1 probably belongs to the V lambda-V subgroup; both light chains used the J2/3 gene. Three-dimensional models of the variable domains were made, based on those of known crystallographic structure. The surface contours at the combining sites are clearly different, consistent with the evidence that the antibodies recognize different but overlapping epitopes. Some details of the molecular modelling of hypervariable regions have been deposited as Supplementary Publication SUP 50155 (6 pages) at the British Library Document Supply Centre, Boston Spa, Wetherby, West Yorkshire LS23 7BQ, U.K., from whom copies can be obtained on the terms indicated in Biochem.

Identification of three new bovine T-cell receptor delta variable gene subgroups expressed by peripheral blood T cells

To understand the biology of γδ T cells in ruminants, it is necessary to have a comprehensive picture of γδ T-cell receptor gene diversity and expression. In this study, three new subgroups of bovine T-cell receptor δ (TRD) variable genes were identified by RT-PCR and sequencing and homology with TRDV genes from other mammals determined. Previously unidentified TRDV subgroup genes described in this study include the bovine homologues of ovine TRDV2, TRDV3, and TRDV4 which were named accordingly. TRDV2 subgroup has two genes (TRDV2-1 and TRDV2-2) while we found the previously identified TRDV1 has at least eight genes corresponding to separate genomic sequences. Nucleotide and amino acid sequences for particular gene subgroups between cattle and sheep were more than 87% identical but identities among TRDV subgroups within a species were much less, with bovine TRDV4 having <45% identity to the other three bovine TRDV gene subgroups. Analysis of circulating bovine γδ T cells revealed that genes from all four TRDV subgroups were expressed in combination with TRDJ1, TRDJ3, and TRDC, although TRDV4 was the least represented, and all displayed a variety of CDR3 junctional lengths. Finally, some genes within the TRDV1, TRDV2, and TRDV3 subgroups recombined with TRAV incorporating TRAJs, suggesting dual use.The nucleotide sequence data reported are available in the DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank database under the accession numbers DQ275147, DQ275148, DQ275149, and DQ280318.     

Endozoicomonas elysicola gen. nov., sp. nov., a gamma-proteobacterium isolated from the sea slug Elysia ornata

A Gram-negative, strictly aerobic, rod-formed bacterium, strain MKT110(T), was isolated from a mollusk, the sea slug Elysia ornata collected in seawater off the coast of Izu-Miyake Island, Japan at a depth of 15m. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequences analysis indicated that the isolate MKT110(T) constituted a novel lineage in gamma-proteobacteria related to the genera Zooshikella, Oceanospirillum, Microbulbifer, Marinobacter, Saccharospirillum and Pseudomonas. The strain MKT110(T) was closely related to the clones from marine sponge Halichondria okadai (AB054136, AB054161) and the coral Pocillopora damicornis (AY700600, AY700601). The phylogenetic tree based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that MKT110(T) and four clones formed a sub-lineage related to the genus Zooshikella, with a bootstrap value of 100%. MKT110(T) required salt for its growth and was mesophilic. The bacterium contained 16:1omega7c, 16:0 and 14:0 as major cellular fatty acids, and 3-OH 14:0, 3-OH 10:0 and 3-OH 12:0 as major hydroxy fatty acids. The DNA base composition of the isolate was 50.4 mol% G+C. The major quinone was Q-9. The bacterium is distinguished from currently recognized bacterial genera based on phylogenetic and phenotypic features and should be classified in a novel genus for which the name Endozoicomonas elysicola gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. (type strain MKT110(T)=IAM 15107(T)=KCTC 12372(T); GenBank accession no. AB196667).

THE CLONING, SEQUENCING AND EXPRESSION OF THE LdMNPV POLYHEDRIN GENE

Abstract  LdMNPV - NEFU isolate collected from the forestry farm of Northeast Forestry University was purified and the genomic DNA of MMNPV was extracted. The LdMNPV polyhedrin gene was cloned by PCR. The results showed that the sequence was an open reading frame (ORF) of 735bp capable of encoding 245 amino acids. The polyhedrin gene sequences of the MMNPV-NEFU isolate and a Canada strain, MMNPV-G differed in 5 bases. The polyhedrin gene of the LdMNPV-NEFU isolate contained C, G, T, C and G at 54, 109,379, 508 and 701 sites from the start codon, but the LdMNPV-G isolate contained G, C, C, T and T at the corresponding sites respectively. The same amino acids were encoded by the two ORF sequences, with the exception that Asp and His are encoded by GAC on the polyhedrin gene sequence of the LdMNPV-NEFU isolate and by CAC in the MMNPV-G isolate. The MMNPV polyhedrin gene was expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) by the pT7–7 plasmid vector.
