系统发生分析发现牛病毒性腹泻病病毒新基因亚型

本研究对我国首次分离获得的牛源牛病毒性腹泻病毒(BVDV)毒株Changchun 184(CC-184)和猪源牛病毒性腹泻病毒ZM-95进行了遗传衍化关系研究.选择主要抗原E2基因为研究对象,首先应用RT-PCR及套式PCR克隆得到CC-184和ZM-95的E2片段,通过序列测定发现CC-184和ZM-95 E2基因长度分别为1,122bp和1,125bp,各自编码374和375个氨基酸残基.核酸序列同源性比较和系统发生分析表明2株病毒均属于BVDV-1,CC-184与Osloss亲缘关系最近,都属于已有的b基因亚型,其E2基因同源性达91.8%.而ZM-95的E2基因有一个特征性的变异区,包含一个密码子序列插入,这一变异区编码了一段有别于其他瘟病毒的五肽氨基酸序列HYKKK.结果还表明ZM-95与BVDV-1现有的5个基因亚型的亲缘关系均较远,E2基因同源性最高(与Oregonc24v)只有72.4%.而BVDV 1亚型内毒株间的同源性大于85%,亚型间的同源性在69%～75%之间,充分说明ZM-95是BVDV-1中一个新发现的基因亚型.通常认为猪源BVDV来源于牛,应该与牛源BVDV有十分近的遗传关系,但是本研究发现ZM-95与其他已知牛源BVDV较低的基因同源性说明猪源BVDV还具有独立的遗传衍化与传播来源的可能性.     

牛病毒性腹泻病毒基因组快速进化表现出来的遗传多样性

牛病毒性腹泻病毒（Bovine viral diarrhea virus, BVDV）基因组的高突变性和同源/异源重组性导致其成为一种较难防控的家畜病原体。目前普遍接受的两种基因型是BVDV-1和BVDV-2，其中基因1型含有21个亚型而基因2型含有4个亚型。在流行态势上，BVDV-1无论在遗传多样性还是分离毒株的数量上均高于BVDV-2。虽然BVDV-1和BVDV-2在基因组遗传特征上存在明显的遗传差异，但是其基因组内部特定区域在遗传进化上存在着密切关联。除了病毒基因组自身高变异的特性外，同源/异源RNA重组在BVDV遗传变异进程中也发挥着重要的作用。借助这些遗传进化的途径，BVDV在世界各地的流行传播可以用“随心所欲”来形容。BVDV的流行特征总体表现为基因1型的毒株为主要流行毒株，各基因亚型之间交替更迭并呈现遗传多样性。鉴于BVDV遗传进化的多变性和复杂性，紧密追踪主要流行基因亚型的更迭以及收集不同基因亚型的特征性遗传信息对于制定切实有效的BVDV防控措施具有实际意义。

从广东省疑似流感发病猪分离到1株H3N2亚型猪流感病毒(A/Swine/Guangdong/01/2005(H3N2)),对其各个基因进行克隆与测序,并与GenBank中收录的其它猪流感、禽流感和人流感的相关基因进行比较,结果表明,HA全基因与广东2003~2004年分离的H3N2猪流感毒株的核苷酸序列同源性在99%以上,与纽约90年代末分离的H3N2人流感毒株同源性在98.5%以上;NA基因与纽约1998~2000年分离的H3N2人流感毒株的核苷酸序列同源性在99%以上;NS基因、M基因的核苷酸序列与H1N1亚型猪流感毒株A/swine/HongKong/273/1994(H1N1)的核苷酸序列同源性较高,分别为97.9%、98.4%,与美洲A/swine/Iowa/17672/1988(H1N1)的核苷酸序列同源性分别为96.7%、97.1%;其他基因的核苷酸序列与H3N2人流感毒株具有很高的同源性。因此,推测其M和NS基因来源于H1N1亚型猪流感病毒,HA、NA及其他基因均来源于H3N2亚型人流感病毒。表明此H3N2亚型猪流感病毒为H3N2亚型人流感病毒和H1N1亚型猪流感病毒经基因重排而得到的重组病毒。     

我国新分离森林脑炎病毒E基因特征分析

为了解分离自黑龙江省大兴安岭林区全沟硬蜱中的DXAL-5、12、13、16、18,21共6株森林脑炎(TBE)病毒E蛋白基因特征并确定病毒基因型,应用RT-PCR技术对6株病毒E蛋白基因进行体外扩增、克隆、测序.结果发现,6株病毒E蛋白基因的核苷酸序列长均为1 488 bp,推导的氨基酸序列长均为496 aa.与TBE参考毒株E蛋白基因进行比较,这6株病毒与远东亚型同源性最高,其次是西伯利亚亚型,与欧洲亚型同源性最差;在决定亚型特征的氨基酸位点多数属于TBE病毒远东亚型.E蛋白基因推导的氨基酸种系发生树分析表明,6株病毒均在远东亚型分枝内.因此就E蛋白基因而言,DXAL-5、12、13、16、18、21株均属于TBE病毒的远东亚型.新分离毒株与Senzhang株同源性较高,种系发生关系也比较接近,推测疫苗株对新分离毒株仍具有很好的保护作用.但是在E蛋白的A、B和C抗原决定区内,6株病毒均有不同程度的氨基酸改变,这些突变有可能影响E蛋白的功能.     

我国牛病毒性腹泻流行现状与防控策略

我国牛病毒性腹泻病(Bovine viral diarrhea,BVD)的流行比较复杂,其病原BVDV (BVDV-1和BVDV-2)不仅仅局限于已知易感动物牛群感染,其他动物种群中感染BVDV-1和BVDV-2的现象也值得注意,如猪群中BVDV感染很大程度上混淆了猪瘟等病原的监测,从而加剧病程发展。牛病毒性腹泻病毒(Bovine viral diarrhea virus,BVDV)可致持续感染(Persistent infection,PI),这一特性导致该病的净化面临巨大困难,对整个养殖场的健康发展形成了严峻威胁。BVDV抗原变异速率非常快,目前BVDV-1已有22个亚型,BVDV-2有4个亚型,鉴于病原在自然界的适应和演进特性,对该病的防控措施迟后其病原的变异速度。因此,定期摸清BVDV-1和BVDV-2在我国的流行现状是实施疫病净化的第一步和关键步骤,进一步借鉴国外BVD净化成功经验,综合考虑我国国情,采取适宜的防控策略,逐步净化该病原感染,有助于促进国内养殖业的健康发展。

The Unique Envelope Gene of the Subgroup J Avian Leukosis Virus Derives from ev/J Proviruses, a Novel Family of Avian Endogenous Viruses

A new subgroup of avian leukosis virus (ALV), designated subgroup J, was identified recently. Viruses of this subgroup do not cross-interfere with viruses of the avian A, B, C, D, and E subgroups, are not neutralized by antisera raised against the other virus subgroups, and have a broader host range than the A to E subgroups. Sequence comparisons reveal that while the subgroup J envelope gene includes some regions that are related to those found in env genes of the A to E subgroups, the majority of the subgroup J gene is composed of sequences either that are more similar to those of a member (E51) of the ancient endogenous avian virus (EAV) family of proviruses or that appear unique to subgroup J viruses. These data led to the suggestion that the ALV-J env gene might have arisen by multiple recombination events between one or more endogenous and exogenous viruses. We initiated studies to investigate the origin of the subgroup J envelope gene and in particular to determine the identity of endogenous sequences that may have contributed to its generation. Here we report the identification of a novel family of avian endogenous viruses that include env coding sequences that are over 95% identical to both the gp85 and gp37 coding regions of subgroup J viruses. We call these viruses the ev/J family. We also report the isolation of ev/J-encoded cDNAs, indicating that at least some members of this family are expressed. These data support the hypothesis that the subgroup J envelope gene was acquired by recombination with expressed endogenous sequences and are consistent with acquisition of this gene by only one recombination event.     

侵染落葵的黄瓜花叶病毒分离物CP基因序列分析

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.     

Function of bovine CD46 as a cellular receptor for bovine viral diarrhea virus is determined by complement control protein 1

The pestivirus bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) was shown to bind to the bovine CD46 molecule, which subsequently promotes entry of the virus. To assess the receptor usage of BVDV type 1 (BVDV-1) and BVDV-2, 30 BVDV isolates including clinical samples were assayed for their sensitivity to anti-CD46 antibodies. With a single exception the infectivity of all tested strains of BVDV-1 and BVDV-2 was inhibited by anti-CD46 antibodies, which indicates the general usage of CD46 as a BVDV receptor. Molecular analysis of the interaction between CD46 and the BVD virion was performed by mapping the virus binding site on the CD46 molecule. Single complement control protein modules (CCPs) within the bovine CD46 were either deleted or replaced by analogous CCPs of porcine CD46, which does not bind BVDV. While the epitopes recognized by anti-CD46 monoclonal antibodies which block BVDV infection were attributed to CCP1 and CCP2, in functional assays only CCP1 turned out to be essential for BVDV binding and infection. Within CCP1 two short peptides on antiparallel beta strands were identified as crucial for the binding of BVDV. Exchanges of these two peptide sequences were sufficient for a loss of function in bovine CD46 as well as a gain of function in porcine CD46. Determination of the size constraints of CD46 revealed that a minimum length of four CCPs is essential for receptor function. An increase of the distance between the virus binding domain and the plasma membrane by insertion of one to six CCPs of bovine C4 binding protein exhibited only a minor influence on susceptibility to BVDV.     

二株B亚群禽白血病病毒全基因组序列及其在细胞上的复制性比较

本研究比较了从山东地方品系鸡群分离到的二株B亚型禽白血病病毒(ALV)SDAU09E3和SDAU09C2的全基因组序列及它们在细胞培养上的复制动态。这二株ALV-B的同源性为95.4%,与GenBank中3株B亚群参考株之间的同源性也均在91.0%～94.9%间,而与其它亚群参考株的同源性均低于87.9%。与亚群无关的gag、pol基因和LTR的核苷酸序列比较表明,这二株ALV-Bgp85基因的gag和pol基因与所有比较的参考株的同源性均在93%以上。LTR与其他外源性ALV参考株的LTR间的同源性在72.6%～88.3%范围内,但与E亚群内源性ALV的LTR的同源性只有51.5%。然而,这二个ALV-B的LTR的同源性也只有74.8%,远低于其他基因组部分的同源性,特别是它们的LTR的U3区同源性只有68.8%,二者在二个CAAT分布上也显著不同。对这二株ALV-B在DF-1细胞上的复制动态比较表明,它们在细胞培养上清液中的TCID50值非常类似,但SDAU09E3株核衣壳蛋白p27抗原的含量显著高于SDAU09C2株。这表明,同一亚群的不同毒株在复制过程中,所表达的p27抗原量与所形成的具有传染性的病毒量间没有平行关系。这一差异与LTR-U3区的相关性则有待应用感染性克隆技术来做进一步深入研究。     

Type II heat-labile enterotoxins from 50 diverse Escherichia coli isolates belong almost exclusively to the LT-IIc family and may be prophage encoded

Some enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) produce a type II heat-labile enterotoxin (LT-II) that activates adenylate cyclase in susceptible cells but is not neutralized by antisera against cholera toxin or type I heat-labile enterotoxin (LT-I). LT-I variants encoded by plasmids in ETEC from humans and pigs have amino acid sequences that are ≥ 95% identical. In contrast, LT-II toxins are chromosomally encoded and are much more diverse. Early studies characterized LT-IIa and LT-IIb variants, but a novel LT-IIc was reported recently. Here we characterized the LT-II encoding loci from 48 additional ETEC isolates. Two encoded LT-IIa, none encoded LT-IIb, and 46 encoded highly related variants of LT-IIc. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the predicted LT-IIc toxins encoded by these loci could be assigned to 6 subgroups. The loci corresponding to individual toxins within each subgroup had DNA sequences that were more than 99% identical. The LT-IIc subgroups appear to have arisen by multiple recombinational events between progenitor loci encoding LT-IIc1- and LT-IIc3-like variants. All loci from representative isolates encoding the LT-IIa, LT-IIb, and each subgroup of LT-IIc enterotoxins are preceded by highly-related genes that are between 80 and 93% identical to predicted phage lysozyme genes. DNA sequences immediately following the B genes differ considerably between toxin subgroups, but all are most closely related to genomic sequences found in predicted prophages. Together these data suggest that the LT-II loci are inserted into lambdoid type prophages that may or may not be infectious. These findings raise the possibility that production of LT-II enterotoxins by ETEC may be determined by phage conversion and may be activated by induction of prophage, in a manner similar to control of production of Shiga-like toxins by converting phages in isolates of enterohemmorhagic E. coli.
