The duration and fitness dependence of memory in viral quasispecies evolving in cell culture have been investigated using two genetic markers of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV). In lineages of antigenic variant FMDV RED, which reverted to FMDV RGD, memory FMDV RED genomes were detected after 50 infectious cycles, and memory level was fitness dependent. In growth-competition experiments between a reference FMDV RGD and two different FMDV RED populations, a 7.6-fold higher fitness of the initial FMDV RED population resulted in 30 to 100-fold higher memory level. In lineages of low-fitness clones containing an elongated internal polyadenylate tract, revertants lacking excess adenylate residues became dominant by passage 20. However, genomes including a larger number of adenylate residues were detected as memory genomes after at least 150 infectious cycles. Thus, quasispecies memory can be durable and is fitness dependent, as predicted from the growth competition of two mutant forms of a genome. An understanding of factors influencing quasispecies memory levels and duration may have implications for the extended diagnosis of viruses based on the quantification of minority genomes. 相似文献

Several biological subclones of a biological clone of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) have been subjected to many plaque-to-plaque (serial bottleneck) transfers in cell culture. At transfer 190 to 409, clones underwent a transition towards a non-cytolytic (NC) phenotype in which the virus was unable to produce plaques, representing at least a 140-fold reduction in specific infectivity relative to the parental biological clone. NC clones, however, were competent in RNA replication and established a persistent infection in cell culture without an intervening cytolytic phase. In one clone, the transition to the NC phenotype was associated with the elongation of an internal oligodenylate tract that precedes the second functional AUG translation initiation codon. The pattern of mutations and their distribution along the FMDV genome of the clones subjected to serial bottleneck transfers were compared with the pattern of mutations in FMDV clones subjected to large population passages. Both the corrected ratios of non-synonymous to synonymous mutations and some specific mutations in coding and non-coding regions suggest participation of positive selection during large population passages and not during bottleneck transfers. Some mutations in the clones that attained the NC phenotype were located in genomic regions affecting the capacity of FMDV to kill BHK-21 cells. The resistance to extinction of clones subjected to plaque-to-plaque transfers marks a striking contrast with regard to the ease of extinction mediated by lethal mutagenesis. The results document a major phenotypic transition of a virus as a result of serial bottleneck events. 相似文献

An essential feature of viral quasispecies, predicted from quasispecies theory, is that the target of selection is the mutant distribution as a whole. To test molecularly the mutant composition selected from a viral quasispecies we reconstructed a mutant distribution using 19 antigenic variants of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV). Each variant was marked by a specific amino acid replacement at a major antigenic site of the virus that conferred resistance to a monoclonal antibody (mAb). The variants were introduced in the mutant spectrum of a biological FMDV clone, at a frequency commonly found in FMDV quasispecies. The reconstructed quasispecies (and a number of control populations) were allowed to replicate in the presence or absence of the mAb. The mutant distribution that became dominant as a result of antibody selection included at least ten of the 19 mutants initially used to reconstruct the quasispecies. No such biased mutant repertoire was found in control populations. The results show that a mutant distribution was selected, and are incompatible with selection of an individual genome, which then generated multiple mutants upon further replication. An ample representation of variants immediately following a selection event should contribute to subsequent adaptability of the virus. 相似文献

Lethal mutagenesis is an antiviral strategy that aims to extinguish viruses as a consequence of enhanced mutation rates during virus replication. The molecular mechanisms that underlie virus extinction by mutagenic nucleoside analogues are not well understood. When mutagenic agents and antiviral inhibitors are administered sequentially or in combination, interconnected and often conflicting selective constraints can influence the fate of the virus either towards survival through selection of mutagen-escape or inhibitor-escape mutants or towards extinction. Here we report a study involving the mutagenesis of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) by the nucleoside analogue ribavirin (R) and the effect of R-mediated mutagenesis on the selection of FMDV mutants resistant to the inhibitor of RNA replication, guanidine hydrochloride (GU). The results show that under comparable (and low) viral load, an inhibitory activity by GU could not substitute for an equivalent inhibitory activity by R in driving FMDV to extinction. Both the prior history of R mutagenesis and the viral population size influenced the selection of GU-escape mutants. A sufficiently low viral load allowed continued viral replication without selection of inhibitor-escape mutants, irrespective of the history of mutagenesis. These observations imply that reductions of viral load as a result of a mutagenic treatment may provide an opportunity either for immune-mediated clearing of a virus or for an alternative antiviral intervention, even if extinction is not initially achieved. 相似文献

Minority genomes in the mutant spectra of viral quasispecies may differ in relative fitness. Here, we report experiments designed to evaluate the contribution of relative fitness to selection by a neutralizing monoclonal antibody (mAb). We have reconstructed a foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) quasispecies, with two matched pairs of distinguishable mAb-escape mutants as minority genomes of the mutant spectrum. Each mutant of a pair differs from the other by 11-fold or 33-fold in relative fitness. Analysis of the mutant spectra of virus populations selected with different concentrations of antibody in infections in liquid culture medium has documented a dominance of the high fitness counterpart in the selected population. Plaque development as a function of increasing concentration of the antibody has shown that each mutant of a matched pair yielded the same number of plaques, although the high fitness mutant required less time for plaque formation, and attained a larger plaque size at any given time-point. This result documents equal intrinsic resistance to the antibody of each mutant of a matched pair, confirming previous biochemical, structural, and genetic studies, which indicated that the epitopes of each mutant pair were indistinguishable regarding reactivity with the monoclonal antibody. Thus, relative viral fitness can influence in a significant way the repertoire of viral mutants selected from a viral quasispecies by a neutralizing antibody. We discuss the significance of these results in relation to antibody selection, and to other selective forces likely encountered by viral quasispecies in vivo. 相似文献

The Fab fragment of the neutralizing monoclonal antibody SD6 elicited against foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) C-SBcl and its complex with a peptide, corresponding to the major antigenic site of FMDV (VPl residues 136–150, YTASARGDLAHLTTT), have been crystallized using the hanging drop vapor diffusion techniques. For the isolated Fab, crystals diffracting to 2.5 Å resolution were obtained at room temperature using ammonium sulfate as precipitant. These crystals are monoclinic, space group C2, and unit cell parameters a = 109.53 Å, b = 89.12 Å, c = 64.04 Å, and β = 112.9° and contain one Fab molecule per asymmetric unit. Crystals from the complex diffract, at least, to 2.8 Å resolution and were obtained, at room temperature, using PEG as precipitant. These crystals are monoclinic, space group P2, and unit cell parameters a = 56.11 Å, b = 60.67 Å, c = 143.45 Å, and β = 95.4°, Density packing considerations indicate that there are two Fab molecules in the asymmetric unit. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

An amino acid mutation(R127→I) in the 3A non-structural protein of an FMDV serotype Asia1 rabbit-attenuated ZB strain was previously found after attenuation of the virus. To explore the effects of this mutation on viral replication and infection, the amino acid residue isoleucine(I) was changed to arginine(R) in the infectious cDNA clone of the rabbit-attenuated ZB strain by sitedirected mutagenesis, and the R127-mutated virus was rescued. BHK monolayer cells and suckling mice were inoculated with the R127-mutated virus to test its growth property and pathogenicity, respectively. The effects of the R127 mutation on viral replication and virulence were analyzed. The data showed that there was a slight difference in plaque morphology between the R127-mutated and wild-type viruses. The growth rate of the mutated virus was lower in BHK-21 cells and its virulence in suckling mice was also attenuated. This study indicates that the R127 mutation in 3A may play an important role in FMDV replication in vitro and in pathogenicity in suckling mice. 相似文献

Estimating detailed transmission trees that reflect the relationships between infected individuals or populations during a disease outbreak often provides valuable insights into both the nature of disease transmission and the overall dynamics of the underlying epidemiological process. These trees may be based on epidemiological data that relate to the timing of infection and infectiousness, or genetic data that show the genetic relatedness of pathogens isolated from infected individuals. Genetic data are becoming increasingly important in the estimation of transmission trees of viral pathogens due to their inherently high mutation rate. Here, we propose a maximum-likelihood approach that allows epidemiological and genetic data to be combined within the same analysis to infer probable transmission trees. We apply this approach to data from 20 farms infected during the 2001 UK foot-and-mouth disease outbreak, using complete viral genome sequences from each infected farm and information on when farms were first estimated to have developed clinical disease and when livestock on these farms were culled. Incorporating known infection links due to animal movement prior to imposition of the national movement ban results in the reduction of the number of trees from 41472 that are consistent with the genetic data to 1728, of which just 4 represent more than 95% of the total likelihood calculated using a model that accounts for the epidemiological data. These trees differ in several ways from those constructed prior to the availability of genetic data. 相似文献

Despite its inherent costs, sexual reproduction is ubiquitous in nature, and the mechanisms to protect it from a competitive displacement by asexuality remain unclear. Popular mutation‐based explanations, like the Muller's ratchet and the Kondrashov's hatchet, assume that purifying selection may not halt the accumulation of deleterious mutations in the nonrecombining genomes, ultimately leading to their degeneration. However, empirical evidence is scarce and it remains particularly unclear whether mutational degradation proceeds fast enough to ensure the decay of clonal organisms and to prevent them from outcompeting their sexual counterparts. To test this hypothesis, we jointly analysed the exome sequences and the fitness‐related phenotypic traits of the sexually reproducing fish species and their clonal hybrids, whose evolutionary ages ranged from F1 generations to 300 ky. As expected, mutations tended to accumulate in the clonal genomes in a time‐dependent manner. However, contrary to the predictions, we found no trend towards increased nonsynonymity of mutations acquired by clones, nor higher radicality of their amino acid substitutions. Moreover, there was no evidence for fitness degeneration in the old clones compared with that in the younger ones. In summary, although an efficacy of purifying selection may still be reduced in the asexual genomes, our data indicate that its efficiency is not drastically decreased. Even the oldest investigated clone was found to be too young to suffer fitness consequences from a mutation accumulation. This suggests that mechanisms other than mutation accumulation may be needed to explain the competitive advantage of sex in the short term. 相似文献

Piscine novirhabdovirus = Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia Virus (VHSV) first appeared in the Laurentian Great Lakes with large outbreaks from 2005 to 2006, as a new and novel RNA rhabdovirus subgenogroup (IVb) that killed >30 fish species. Interlude periods punctuated smaller more localized outbreaks in 2007, 2010, and 2017, although some fishes tested positive in the intervals. There have not been reports of outbreaks or positives from 2018, 2019, or 2020. Here, we employ a combined population genetics and phylogenetic approach to evaluate spatial and temporal evolutionary trajectory on its G‐gene sequence variation, in comparison with whole‐genome sequences (11,083 bp) from a subset of 44 individual isolates (including 40 newly sequenced ones). Our results show that IVb (N = 184 individual fish isolates) diversified into 36 G‐gene haplotypes from 2003 to 2017, stemming from two originals (“a” and “b”). G‐gene haplotypes “a” and “b” differed by just one synonymous single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) substitution, remained the most abundant until 2011, then disappeared. Group “a” descendants (14 haplotypes) remained most prevalent in the Upper and Central Great Lakes, with eight (51%) having nonsynonymous substitutions. Group “b” descendants primarily have occurred in the Lower Great Lakes, including 22 haplotypes, of which 15 (68%) contained nonsynonymous changes. Evolutionary patterns of the whole‐genome sequences (which had 34 haplotypes among 44 isolates) appear congruent with those from the G‐gene. Virus populations significantly diverged among the Upper, Central, and Lower Great Lakes, diversifying over time. Spatial divergence was apparent in the overall patterns of nucleotide substitutions, while amino acid changes increased temporally. VHSV‐IVb thus significantly differentiated across its less than two decades in the Great Lakes, accompanied by declining outbreaks and virulence. Continuing diversification likely allowed the virus to persist at low levels in resident fish populations, and may facilitate its potential for further and future spread to new habitats and nonacclimated hosts. 相似文献

The D614G mutation in the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 alters the fitness of the virus, leading to the dominant form observed in the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the molecular basis of the mechanism by which this mutation enhances fitness is not clear. Here we demonstrated by cryo-electron microscopy that the D614G mutation resulted in increased propensity of multiple receptor-binding domains (RBDs) in an upward conformation poised for host receptor binding. Multiple substates within the one RBD-up or two RBD-up conformational space were determined. According to negative staining electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and differential scanning fluorimetry, the most significant impact of the mutation lies in its ability to eliminate the unusual cold-induced unfolding characteristics and to significantly increase the thermal stability under physiological pH. The D614G spike variant also exhibited exceptional long-term stability when stored at 37 °C for up to 2 months. Our findings shed light on how the D614G mutation enhances the infectivity of SARS-CoV-2 through a stabilizing mutation and suggest an approach for better design of spike protein-based conjugates for vaccine development. 相似文献

The nucleotide sequence of cDNA coding for the structural proteins of foot-and-mouth disease virus 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17
The complete nucleotide sequence of cDNA coding for the structural capsid polypeptides of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) (strain A(10)61) has been determined. Portions of the flanking sequence coding for the nonstructural proteins p20a and p52 are also provided. The three larger structural polypeptides VP1, VP2 and VP3 have unmodified Mrs of 23248, 24649 and 24213, respectively. The size of the smaller polypeptide, VP4, can only be estimated at 7360 because the 5'-limit of its coding region is not yet known with certainty. The sequence data for VP1 (the major immunising antigen) and the amino-terminal quarter of p52 are compared with the data of Kurz et al. (Nucl. Acids Res. 9 (1981) 1919-1931) for a different serotype (O1K). This shows that variation is much greater in the region coding for VP1 than in that coding for p52. This is reflected in the level of amino acid sequence variation predicted for the two proteins. Analysis of relative codon usage reveals a strong bias in favour of C and G over U and A in the third base position. The dinucleotide frequencies show a bias against A-U and U-A, and for A-C and C-A. 相似文献

为揭示肥大细胞抗口蹄疫病毒VP1-VP4蛋白的天然免疫作用,以重组口蹄疫病毒VP1-VP4蛋白刺激小鼠腹腔肥大细胞(Peritoneal mast cells,PMCs),用高通量ELISA芯片检测PMCs的蛋白质表达谱。结果显示,VP1-VP4蛋白刺激的PMCs(VP1-VP4组)表达CCL19、L-selectin、CCL17和TNF-α的水平极显著低于对照组(PMCs)(P0.001),而VP1-VP4蛋白刺激经甘露糖受体(Mannose receptor,MR)抑制剂预处理的PMCs(MR组)表达CCL19、IL-15、IL-9、G-CSF和Galectin-1的水平则极显著高于对照组(P0.01),IL-10表达水平也有显著升高(P0.05)。MR组与VP1-VP4组相比,PMCs表达IL-10、IL-17、CCL20、IL-15、IL-9、L-selectin、CCL17、TNF-α和CCL19的水平极显著升高(P0.01),CCL21和G-CSF的表达也显著高于VP1-VP4组(P0.05)。生物信息学差异表达分析结果显示,与对照组相比,VP1-VP4组PMCs表达的L-selectin和CCL17为下调性差异表达蛋白(Log2(ratio)≤–1)。MR组与VP1-VP4相比,PMCs表达的CCL20、CCL19、L-selectin和IL-15为上调性差异表达蛋白(Log_2(ratio)≥1)。这表明,PMCs可自发分泌CCL19、L-selectin、CCL17和TNF-α,而VP1-VP4则对PMCs的天然免疫功能具有抑制作用。由于阻断MR后PMCs的蛋白质表达水平显著升高,所以VP1-VP4对小鼠PMCs的免疫抑制作用可能是由MR介导的。 相似文献
