Bioinformatic analysis of structural proteins of paramyxovirus Tianjin strain

The amino acid sequences of the NP,P, M, F,HN and L proteins of the paramyxovirus Tianjin strain were analyzed by using the bioinformatics methods. Phylogenetic analysis based on 6 structural proteins among the Tianjin strain and 25 paramyxoviruses showed that the Tianjin strain belonged to the genus Respirovirus, in the subfamily Paramyxovirinae, and was most closely related to Sendal virus (SeV). Phylogenetic analysis with 14 known SeVs showed that Tianjin strain represented a new evolutionary lineage. Similarities comparisons indicated that Tianjin strain P protein was poorly conserved, sharing only 78.7%-91.9% amino acid identity with the known SeVs, while the L protein was the most conserved, having 96.0%-98.0% amino acid identity with the known SeVs. Alignments of amino acid sequences of 6 structural proteins clearly showed that Tianjin strain possessed many unique amino acid substitutions in their protein sequences, 15 in NP, 29 in P, 6 in M, 13 in F, 18 in HN, and 29 in L. These results revealed that Tianjin strain was most likely a new genotype of SeV. The presence of unique amino acid substitutions suggests that Tianjin strain maybe has a significant difference in biological, pathological, immunological, or epidemiological characteristics from the known SeVs.

Nucleotide sequence of the bovine parainfluenza 3 virus genome: its 3'' end and the genes of NP, P, C and M proteins.

We present the nucleotide sequence of bovine parainfluenza 3 virus (BPIV3) genome from its 3' end to the opening region of the F gene, through the NP, P plus C, and M genes. Comparison of the sequence with those reported for other paramyxoviruses indicated that BPIV3 was most similar to human parainfluenza 3 virus (HPIV3), and also very similar to Sendai virus in the structural make-up of its genome and the amino acid sequences of its gene products, suggesting that these three viruses constitute a paramyxovirus subgroup from which Newcastle disease and measles viruses are separable. In BPIV3 and Sendai virus, the NP and M proteins, the main structural elements, were more highly conserved than the functionally important P and C proteins. This tendency was also observed even in BPIV3 and HPIV3. Virus-specific amino acid sequences of the NP and M proteins were found at the carboxyl and amino terminal regions, respectively. BPIV3 M mRNA was found to have aberrations in its poly A attachment site.     

Human parainfluenza virus type 3: messenger RNAs, polypeptide coding assignments, intergenic sequences, and genetic map.

cDNA clones of mRNAs for the major nucleocapsid protein (NP), the nucleocapsid P protein plus the nonstructural C protein (P+C), and the matrix protein (M) of human parainfluenza virus type 3 (PF3) were identified by hybrid arrest and hybrid selection of in vitro translation. Previously, cDNA clones were identified and sequenced for the hemagglutinin-neuraminidase glycoprotein (HN) and the fusion glycoprotein (F) mRNAs (N. Elango, J. E. Coligan, R. C. Jambou, and S. Venkatesan, J. Virol. 57:481-489, 1986; M. K. Spriggs, R. A. Olmsted, S. Venkatesan, J. E. Coligan, and P. L. Collins, Virology 152:241-251, 1986). Synthetic oligonucleotides, designed from nucleotide sequences of the cDNAs, were used to direct dideoxynucleotide sequencing of gene junctions in PF3 genomic RNA (vRNA). From sequencing of vRNA, a sixth viral gene was detected and identified as the large nucleocapsid protein (L) gene by hybridization of a synthetic oligonucleotide to intracellular PF3 mRNAs separated by gel electrophoresis. The order of the six PF3 genes on vRNA was 3'-NP-P+C-M-F-HN-L-5'. The five intergenic regions consisted of the trinucleotide 3'-GAA. The PF3 genes initiated with semiconserved 10-nucleotide gene-start sequences and terminated with semiconserved 12-nucleotide gene-end sequences. The M gene terminated with an aberrant gene-end sequence; analysis of intracellular mRNA showed that this aberrant sequence correlated with a disproportionately high accumulation of readthrough mRNA. These studies showed that PF3 encodes six unique mRNAs (NP, P+C, M, F, HN, and L) that encode seven proteins (NP, P, C, M, F, HN, and L) and provided evidence of a close relationship between PF3 and Sendai (murine parainfluenza type 1) viruses.     

Sequence of 3,687 nucleotides from the 3' end of Sendai virus genome RNA and the predicted amino acid sequences of viral NP, P and C proteins.

The sequence of 3,687 nucleotides from the 3' end of the Sendai virus genome (Z strain) was determined by a molecular cloning technique followed by rapid sequence analysis. Two large open reading frames, one consisting of 1,572 nucleotides and the other of 1,704 nucleotides, were observed in the region, that is OP-1 and OP-2 from the 3' end of the genome. The amino acid sequences of the gene products were predicted from the observed sequence. Determination of amino acid compositions of viral proteins, P, HN, Fo, NP and M, led us to conclude that NP and P are the gene products of OP-1 and OP-2, respectively. An additional open reading frame consisting of 612 nucleotides (OP-3) was discovered in the 3' most proximal region of OP-2. The predicted product of OP-3 was considered to be viral non-structural protein C. The leader sequence of 51 nucleotides at the 3' terminal of the genome and consensus sequences at 3' and 5' ends of each gene for proteins NP and P were identified.     

Purification, renaturation, and reconstituted protein kinase activity of the Sendai virus large (L) protein: L protein phosphorylates the NP and P proteins in vitro.

Sodium dodecyl sulfate-solubilized Sendai virus large (L) protein was highly purified by a one-step procedure, using hydroxylapatite column chromatography. Monoclonal antibodies addressed to the carboxyl-terminal amino acid sequence of the L protein were used for monitoring L protein during purification. By removing sodium dodecyl sulfate from purified L protein, a protein kinase activity was successfully renatured. P and NP proteins served as its substrates. After immunoprecipitation with anti-L antibodies, the immunocomplex already showed protein kinase activity. In the presence of P protein, the NP protein was more highly phosphorylated. The results show that Sendai virus L protein possesses a protein kinase activity phosphorylating the other proteins of the viral nucleocapsid in vitro.     

Molecular characterization of a novel glucosyltransferase from Lactobacillus reuteri strain 121 synthesizing a unique,highly branched glucan with alpha-(1-->4) and alpha-(1-->6) glucosidic bonds

Lactobacillus reuteri strain 121 produces a unique, highly branched, soluble glucan in which the majority of the linkages are of the alpha-(1-->4) glucosidic type. The glucan also contains alpha-(1-->6)-linked glucosyl units and 4,6-disubstituted alpha-glucosyl units at the branching points. Using degenerate primers, based on the amino acid sequences of conserved regions from known glucosyltransferase (gtf) genes from lactic acid bacteria, the L. reuteri strain 121 glucosyltransferase gene (gtfA) was isolated. The gtfA open reading frame (ORF) was 5,343 bp, and it encodes a protein of 1,781 amino acids with a deduced M(r) of 198,637. The deduced amino acid sequence of GTFA revealed clear similarities with other glucosyltransferases. GTFA has a relatively large variable N-terminal domain (702 amino acids) with five unique repeats and a relatively short C-terminal domain (267 amino acids). The gtfA gene was expressed in Escherichia coli, yielding an active GTFA enzyme. With respect to binding type and size distribution, the recombinant GTFA enzyme and the L. reuteri strain 121 culture supernatants synthesized identical glucan polymers. Furthermore, the deduced amino acid sequence of the gtfA ORF and the N-terminal amino acid sequence of the glucosyltransferase isolated from culture supernatants of L. reuteri strain 121 were the same. GTFA is thus responsible for the synthesis of the unique glucan polymer in L. reuteri strain 121. This is the first report on the molecular characterization of a glucosyltransferase from a Lactobacillus strain.     

Nucleotide sequence of the bovine parainfluenza 3 virus genome: the genes of the F and HN glycoproteins.

By analysing complementary DNA clones constructed from genomic RNA of bovine parainfluenza 3 virus (BPIV3), we determined the nucleotide sequence of the region containing the entire F and HN genes. Their deduced amino acid sequences showed about 80% homologies with those of human parainfluenza 3 virus (HPIV3), about 45% with those of Sendai virus, and about 20% with those of SV5 and Newcastle disease virus (NDV), indicating, together with the results described in the preceding paper on the NP, P, C and M proteins of BPIV3, that BPIV3, HPIV3 and Sendai virus constitute a paramyxovirus subgroup, and that BPIV3 and HPIV3 are very closely related. The F and HN proteins of all these viruses, including SV5 and NDV, however, were shown to have protein-specific structures as well as short but well-conserved amino acid sequences, suggesting that these structures and sequences are related to the activities of these glycoproteins.
