Defective interfering (DI) particles of Indiana serotype of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV(Ind)) are capable of interfering with the replication of both homotypic VSV(Ind) and heterotypic New Jersey serotype (VSV(NJ)) standard virus. In contrast, DI particles from VSV(NJ) do not interfere with the replication of VSV(Ind) standard virus but do interfere with VSV(NJ) replication. The differences in the interfering activities of VSV(Ind) DI particles and VSV(NJ) DI particles against heterotypic standard virus were investigated. We examined the utilization of homotypic and heterotypic VSV proteins by DI particle genomic RNAs for replication and maturation into infectious DI particles. Here we show that the RNA-nucleocapsid protein (N) complex of one serotype does not utilize the polymerase complex (P and L) of the other serotype for RNA synthesis, while DI particle genomic RNAs of both serotypes can utilize the N, P, and L proteins of either serotype without serotypic restriction but with differing efficiencies as long as all three proteins are derived from the same serotype. The genomic RNAs of VSV(Ind) DI particles assembled and matured into DI particles by using either homotypic or heterotypic viral proteins. In contrast, VSV(NJ) DI particles could assemble only with homotypic VSV(NJ) viral proteins, although the genomic RNAs of VSV(NJ) DI particles could be replicated by using heterotypic VSV(Ind) N, P, and L proteins. Thus, we concluded that both efficient RNA replication and assembly of DI particles are required for the heterotypic interference by VSV DI particles.  相似文献

Purified defective interfering (DI) particles of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) inhibit the replication of a heterologous virus, pseudorabies virus (PSR), in hamster (BHK-21) and rabbit (RC-60) cell lines. In contrast to infectious B particles of VSV, UV irradiation of DI particles does not reduce their ability to inhibit PSR replication. However, UV irradiation progressively reduces the ability of DI particles to cause homologous interference with B particle replication. Pretreatment with interferon does not affect the ability of DI particles to inhibit PSR replication in a rabbit cell line (RC-60) in which RNA, but not DNA, viruses are sensitive to the action of interferon. Under similar conditions of interferon pretreatment, the inhibition of PSR by B particles is blocked. These data suggest that de novo VSV RNA or protein synthesis is not required for the inhibition of PSR replication by DI particles. DI particles that inhibit PSR replication also inhibit host RNA and protein synthesis in BHK-21 and RC-60 cells. Based on the results described and data in the literature, it is proposed that the same component of VSV B and DI particles is responsible for most, if not all, of the inhibitory activities of VSV, except homologous interference.  相似文献

A comparison of the ability of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) to generate and replicate defective interfering (DI) particles in primary chick embryo (CE) and mouse L cells was investigated as a means of analyzing host control over DI-particle synthesis and interfering capacity. Serial undiluted passage of VSV in CE and L cells indicate that VSV-DI particles are generated and (or) replicate with greater efficiency in CE than in L cells. When DI particles accumulate in L cells, they are able to interfere with infectious particle replication. The DI particles from CE cells interfered to the same extent with infectious particle replication in both CE and L cells. L cells, therefore, are not considered 'low-interference' hosts in which DI particles are produced and do not interfere with infectious virus replication, but rather hosts which restrict the production of DI particles.  相似文献

Three defective interfering (DI) particles of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), all derived from the same parental standard San Juan strain (Indiana serotype), were used in various combinations to infect cells together with the parental virus. The replication of their RNA genomes in the presence of other competing genomes was described by the hierarchical sequence: DI 0.52 particles greater than DI 0.45 particles less than or equal to DI-T particles greater than standard VSV. The advantage of one DI particle over another was not due simply to multiplicity effects nor to the irreversible occupation of limited cellular sites. Interference, however, did correlate with a change in the ratio of plus and minus RNA templates that accumulated intracellularly and with the presence of new sequences at the 3' end of the DI genomes. DI 0.52 particles contained significantly more nucleotides at the 3' end that were complementary to those at the 5' end of its RNA than did DI-T or DI 0.45 particles. The first 45 nucleotides at the 3' ends of all of the DI RNAs were identical. VSV and its DI particles can be separated into three classes, depending on their terminal RNA sequences. These sequences suggest two mechanisms, one based on the affinity of polymerase binding and the other on the affinity of N-protein binding, that may account for interference by DI particles against standard VSV and among DI particles themselves.  相似文献

A system was developed that exploited defective interfering (DI) RNAs of coronavirus to study the role of free leader RNA in RNA replication. A cDNA copy of mouse hepatitis virus DI RNA was placed downstream of the T7 RNA polymerase promoter to generate DI RNAs capable of extremely efficient replication in the presence of a helper virus. We demonstrated that, in the DI RNA-transfected cells, the leader sequence of these DI RNAs was switched to that of the helper virus during one round of replication. This high-frequency leader sequence exchange was not observed if a nine-nucleotide stretch of sequence (UUUAUAAAC) at the junction between the leader and the remaining DI sequence was deleted. This observation suggests that a free leader RNA generated from the genomic RNA of mouse hepatitis virus may participate in the replication of DI RNA.  相似文献

The addition of the hepatitis delta virus genomic ribozyme to the 3' end sequence of a Sendai virus defective interfering RNA (DI-H4) allowed the reproducible and efficient replication of this RNA by the viral functions expressed from cloned genes when the DI RNA was synthesized from plasmid. Limited nucleotide additions or deletions (+7 to -7 nucleotides) in the DI RNA sequence were then made at five different sites, and the different RNA derivatives were tested for their abilities to replicate. Efficient replication was observed only when the total nucleotide number was conserved, regardless of the modifications, or when the addition of a total of 6 nucleotides was made. The replicated RNAs were shown to be properly enveloped into virus particles. It is concluded that, to form a proper template for efficient replication, the Sendai virus RNA must contain a total number of nucleotides which is a multiple of 6. This was interpreted as the need for the nucleocapsid protein to contact exactly 6 nucleotides.  相似文献

Genomic replication of the negative-strand RNA viruses is dependent upon protein synthesis. To examine the requirement for protein synthesis in replication, we developed an in vitro system that supports the genome replication of defective interfering particles of the negative-strand rhabdovirus vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), as a function of protein synthesis (Wertz, J. Virol. 46:513-522, 1983). The system consists of defective interfering nucleocapsid templates and an mRNA-dependent reticulocyte lysate to support protein synthesis. We report here an analysis of the requirement for individual viral proteins in VSV replication. Viral mRNAs purified by hybridization to cDNA clones were used to direct the synthesis of individual proteins in the in vitro system. By this method, it was demonstrated that the synthesis of the VSV nucleocapsid protein, N, alone, resulted in the replication of genome-length RNA by both defective interfering intracellular nucleocapsids and virion-derived nucleocapsids. Neither the viral phosphoprotein, NS, nor the matrix protein, M, supported RNA replication. The amount of RNA replication for a given amount of N protein was the same in reactions in which either all of the VSV proteins or only N protein were synthesized. In addition, RNA replication products synthesized in reactions containing only newly made N protein assembled with the N protein to form nucleocapsids. These results demonstrate that the major nucleocapsid protein (N) can by itself fulfill the requirement for protein synthesis in RNA replication and allow complete replication, i.e., initiation and elongation, as well as encapsidation of genome-length progeny RNA.  相似文献

In vitro construction of poliovirus defective interfering particles.   总被引:26,自引:21,他引:5       下载免费PDF全文
To construct poliovirus defective interfering (DI) particles in vitro, we synthesized an RNA from a cloned poliovirus cDNA, pSM1(T7)1, which carried a deletion in the genome region corresponding to nucleotide positions 1663 to 2478 encoding viral capsid proteins, by using bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase. The RNA was designed to retain the correct reading frame in nucleotide sequence downstream of the deletion. HeLa S3 monolayer cells were transfected with the deletion RNA and then superinfected with standard virus as a helper. The DI RNA was observed in the infected cells after three passages at high multiplicity of infection. The sequence analysis of RNA extracted from the purified DI particle clearly showed that this DI RNA had the same deletion in size and location as that in the RNA used for the transfection. Thus, we succeeded in construction of a poliovirus DI particle in vitro. To gain insight into the mechanism for DI generation, we constructed poliovirus cDNAs pSM1(T7)1a and pSM1(T7)1b that, in addition to the same deletion as that in pSM1(T7)1, had insertion sequences of 4 bases and 12 bases, respectively, at the corresponding nucleotide position, 2978. The RNA transcribed from pSM1(T7)1a was not a template for synthesis of poliovirus nonstructural proteins and therefore was inactive as an RNA replicon. On the other hand, the RNA from pSM1(T7)1b replicated properly in the transfected cells. Superinfection of the transfected cells with standard virus resulted in production of DI particles derived from pSM1(T7)1b and not from pSM1(T7)1a. These observations indicate that deletion RNAs that are inactive replicons have little or no possibility of being genomes of DI particles suggesting the existence of a nonstructural protein(s) that has an inclination to function as a cis-acting protein(s). The method described here will provide a useful technique to investigate genetic information essential for poliovirus replication.  相似文献

The nucleotide sequence of the region which covalently links the complementary strands of the "snapback" RNA of vesicular stomatitis virus, DI011, is (Formula: see text). Both strands of the defective interfering (DI) particle RNA were complementary for their full length and were covalently linked by a single phosphate group. Because the strands were exactly the same length and complementary, template strand and daughter strand nucleocapsids generated during replication of DI 011 were undistinguishable on the basis of sequence, a property not shared by other types of DI particle RNAs. Treatment of the RNA with RNase T1 in high-ionic-strength solutions cleaved the RNA only between positions 1 and 1'. These results and the availability of the guanosine residue in position 1' to kethoxal, a reagent that specifically derivatizes guanosines of single-stranded RNA, suggest that steric constraints keep a small portion of the "turnaround" region in an open configuration. The sequence of the turnaround region was not related in any obvious way to the sequences at the 3' and 5' termini and limited the number of possible models for the origin of this type of DI particle RNA. Two models for the genesis of DI 011 RNA are discussed. We favor one in which the progenitor DI 011 RNA was generated by replication across a nascent replication fork.  相似文献

Defective interfering virus particles modulate virulence.   总被引:4,自引:4,他引:0       下载免费PDF全文
To determine whether defective interfering (DI) particles modulate virulence by initiating a cyclic pattern of virus growth in vivo, adult mice were infected with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), both with and without DI particles. A total of 184 mice divided into groups were inoculated intranasally. A majority of mice inoculated only with standard VSV developed paralysis, most of them between days 7 and 9. The addition of DI particles altered the development of paralysis in several ways. When there was significant protection, a few still became paralyzed on days 7 and 9. When overall mortality was unaffected or even slightly increased, the majority of mice became paralyzed between days 7 and 9 as well. Protection could not be predicted based on a single ratio of standard VSV to DI particles or on the absolute amount of DI particles inoculated. Infectious virus recovered from mouse brains at the time of paralysis and incipient death showed considerable variation, although the titer in a majority of the animals was between 10(5) and 10(7) PFU/ml. When the brains of these paralyzed mice were examined for hybridizable VSV RNA, the detection of standard VSV RNA correlated well with infectivity. The amount of DI RNA in the coinfected mice was more variable and independent of the amount of 40S RNA, although DI RNA was usually found when standard RNA was present. Survivors examined between days 14 and 21 did not contain infectious virus or any detectable viral RNA in their brains. Because these results were consistent with the hypothesis of viral cycling in vivo, rather than a gradual accumulation of total infectious virus, mice were coinfected with 10(8) PFU of standard VSV and 10(5) PFU equivalents of DI particles and sacrificed daily thereafter, irrespective of whether they developed paralysis. Infectivity measurements indicated a reproducible cycling pattern of VSV in the mouse brains with a periodicity of about 5 days. This cycling and the detection of DI RNA in brains several days after intranasal inoculation suggest that there is a dynamic continuous interaction between standard VSV and its DI particle beyond the initial site of replication as the virus population spreads into the host animal. Such cycling of virus production before the full development of specific immune responses from the host may have important implications for viral diagnostics and disease transmission.  相似文献

Equine arteritis virus (EAV), the prototype arterivirus, is an enveloped plus-strand RNA virus with a genome of approximately 13 kb. Based on similarities in genome organization and protein expression, the arteriviruses have recently been grouped together with the coronaviruses and toroviruses in the newly established order Nidovirales. Previously, we reported the construction of pEDI, a full-length cDNA copy of EAV DI-b, a natural defective interfering (DI) RNA of 5.6 kb (R. Molenkamp et al., J. Virol. 74:3156-3165, 2000). EDI RNA consists of three noncontiguous parts of the EAV genome fused in frame with respect to the replicase gene. As a result, EDI RNA contains a truncated replicase open reading frame (EDI-ORF) and encodes a truncated replicase polyprotein. Since some coronavirus DI RNAs require the presence of an ORF for their efficient propagation, we have analyzed the importance of the EDI-ORF in EDI RNA replication. The EDI-ORF was disrupted at different positions by the introduction of frameshift mutations. These were found either to block DI RNA replication completely or to be removed within one virus passage, probably due to homologous recombination with the helper virus genome. Using recombination assays based on EDI RNA and full-length EAV genomes containing specific mutations, the rates of homologous RNA recombination in the 3'- and 5'-proximal regions of the EAV genome were studied. Remarkably, the recombination frequency in the 5'-proximal region was found to be approximately 100-fold lower than that in the 3'-proximal part of the genome.  相似文献

The time course of defective interfering (DI) particle and B particle release from vesicular stomatitis virus-infected BHK-21 cells was studied at different multiplicities of defective and infective particles. Particle release was progressively delayed in cells infected with an increasing DI-to-B particle ratio. The delayed particle release during interference was found to be connected with a reduced but prolonged synthesis of viral proteins, a slower accumulation of viral proteins, and a delayed shutoff of cellular protein synthesis. The relative synthesis of M and G proteins was reduced during interference, whereas the relative synthesis of N and NS proteins was increased. On the level of genomic RNA replication, we found that DI RNA was replicated more slowly during interference than the standard genomic RNA was during acute infection. The ratio of DI particles to B particles which were released increased throughout the infectious cycle. At a given time in the infectious cycle, this ratio was independent of the multiplicity of infecting DI and B particles. On the basis of the kinetic studies, we argue that cells infected with higher amounts of DI particles compared with B particles synthesize a higher DI-to-B particle ratio and release these progeny particles later than cells infected with a low DI-to-B particle ratio.  相似文献
