Construction and identification of the helper plasmids for reverse genetic system of rabies virus street strain

To obtain the helper plasmids for a reverse genetics system of rabies virus, the cDNAs of the complete open reading frames of the N, P, G, and L genes of rabies street virus stain HN10 were each cloned into expression vector pVAX1, These four plasmids were identified by restriction enzyme digestion and gene sequencing. The plasmid encoding the N protein was selected to determine the expression effect of these plasmids in NA cells. The results showed that the helper plasmids for a reverse genetics system of rabies street virus strain HN10 had been successfully constructed.     

1株梅花鹿源狂犬病街毒株全基因组测序与分析

对1株梅花鹿源性狂犬病街毒株(DRV)进行全基因组克隆,对全长cDNA进行测序分析.RT-PCR扩增克隆覆盖全基因组9个重叠基因片段,基因组3'和5'末端采取3,-RACE和5'-RACE方法,9个重叠基因片段序列拼接得到DRV全基因组cDNA序列,共11 863个核苷酸.DRV毒株全基因组构成与其他狂犬病毒基因组构成相似,由5个编码区组成,基因起始位点和终止位点高度保守,在核蛋白和糖蛋白的重要抗原位点有个别氨基酸发生变异,对已完成全基因组测序的几个基因1型毒株分别进行了N、P、M、G、L基因核苷酸及氨基酸的同源性比较.与其他具有代表性的毒株进行N基因序列比较建立的系统进化树表明,DRV毒株属于基因1型,与中国人用疫苗株3aG同源性最高为94%,与分类位置未确定的北高加索毒株(WCBV)的同源性最低为71%.本研究结果可为狂犬病毒各项分子生物学研究提供理论参考.     

Rabies virus protein synthesis in infected BHK-21 cells.

Rabies virus specific polypeptide synthesis was examined under hypertonic conditions, which selectively inhibit cellular protein synthesis. The rabies virus proteins (L, G, N, M1, M2) were synthesized throughout the course of infection, with little change in their relative rates of synthesis. The rates of synthesis of the G and M1 polypeptides were more sensitive to increasing osmolarity than those of the L, N, and M2 polypeptides. Extrapolation to isotonicity of the results obtained under hypertonic conditions indicated that the molar ratios of the polypeptides synthesized under normal conditions were 0.4 (L), 64 (G), 100 (N), 75 (M1) and 35 (M2). A high-molecular-weight polypeptide (190,000), designated polypeptide L, was repeatedly detected both in infected cells and in extracellular virus. The estimated number of L polypeptide molecules per virion was 33. The synthesis of a viral glycoprotein precursor, designated gp78, , preceded the appearance of the mature viral glycoprotein in infected cells labeled with [3H]glucosamine under isotonic conditions. In cells labeled under hypertonic conditions, little or no mature viral glycoprotein was detected, but a virus-specific glycoprotein with an electrophoretic mobility similar to that of gp78 was observed. This glycoprotein could be chased into mature viral glycoprotein when the hypertonic conditions were made isotonic. These results suggest that a reversible block of viral glycoprotein synthesis occurs under hypertonic conditions.

Structural proteins of two salmonid rhabdoviruses.

Purified infectious hematopoietic necrosis (IHN) virus and the virus of haemorrhagic septicaemia (VHS) (Egtved virus) each contain five structural proteins which were designated L, G, N, M-1, and M-2. The IHN viral polypeptides have molecular weights estimated to be 157,000, 72,000, 40,000, 25,000 and 20,000, respectively, whereas those of VHS viral polypeptides are estimated to be 157,000 74,000, 41,000, 21,500, and 19,000, respectively. The carbohydrate composition of the glycoprotein (G) was confirmed by demonstrating selective incorporation of [3H]glucosamine into the designated G protein of both viruses. Phosphoproteins were identified by incorporation of [32P]orthophosphate into the N and M-1 proteins of IHN virus and into the N protein of VHS virus. The glycoprotein of each virus was selectively solubilized by treatment with Triton X-100 in low salt buffer, whereas the M-1, and M-2 proteins along with the G protein were solubilized by Ttition X-100 in 0.43 M NaCl. The protein composition of the salmonid rhabdoviruses resembles that of the rabies virus group more closely than the vesicular stomatitis virus group.
