Grass carp reovirus (GCRV) is a tentative member of the Aquareovirus genus in the family Reoviridae. The mature virion comprises 11 dsRNA genomes enclosed by two concentric icosahedral proteins shells that is comprised of
five core proteins and two outer capsid proteins. The genome sequence and 3D structure demonstrate there is a higher level
of sequence homology in structural proteins between GCRV and mammalian orthoreoviruses (MRV) compared to other members of
the family. To understand the pathogenesis of GCRV infection, the outer capsid protein VP5, a homology of the μ1 protein of
MRV, was expressed in E.coli. It was found that the recombinant VP5 was highly expressed, and the expressed His-tag fusion protein was involved in the
formation of the inclusion body. Additionally, specific anti-VP5 serum was prepared from purified protein and western blot
demonstrated that the expressed protein was able to bind immunologically to rabbit anti GCRV particle serum and the immunogenicity
was determined by ELISA assay. Additional experiments in investigating the functional properties of VP5 will further elucidate
the role of the GCRV outer capsid protein VP5 during entry into host cells, and its interaction among viral proteins and host
cells during the infection process. 相似文献

There are a number of discrepancies in the literature regarding the protein composition of the avian reoviruses. The present study demonstrates that avian reovirus S1133 contains at least 10 proteins (lambdaA, lambdaB, lambdaC, muA, muB, muBC, muBN, sigmaA, sigmaB, and sigmaC). Polypeptides muB, muBC, muBN, sigmaB, and sigmaC are components of the outer capsid layer of the virus, while lambdaA, lambdaB, muA, and sigmaA are core polypeptides. Protein lambdaC is a component of both layers, extending from the inner core to the outer capsid. The minor outer-capsid polypeptide sigmaC is shown to be the cell attachment protein, since it is the only viral polypeptide present in extracts of S1133-infected cells that binds specifically to chicken embryo fibroblasts; furthermore, its binding to avian cells was competitively inhibited by S1133 reovirions but not by mammalian reovirions. Our results also show that sigmaC is an oligomeric protein both in the virion and free in the cytoplasm, and preliminary results suggest that the multimer is made up of three monomeric units. 相似文献

The conservation of the core structure and diversification of the external features among the turreted reoviruses appear to be relevant to structural evolution in facilitating the infection of diverse host species. The structure of Rice ragged stunt virus (RRSV), in the genus Oryzavirus of the family Reoviridae, is determined to show a core composed of capsid shell, clamps, and long turrets. The RRSV core structure is equivalent to the core structure of Orthoreovirus and the virion structure of Cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus (CPV). In RRSV, five peripheral trimers surround each long turret and sit at the Q trimer position in the T=13l icosahedral symmetry, a structural feature unique to turreted reoviruses. That is, the core of RRSV is partially covered by 60 copies of the peripheral trimer. In contrast, the core of Orthoreovirus is covered by 200 copies of the trimer that sit at the Q, R, S, and T trimer positions. Our results suggest that among the three viruses, RRSV has a structure intermediate between that of Orthoreovirus and the CPV virion. This conclusion coincides with the results of the phylogenetic analysis of amino acid sequences of RNA-dependent RNA polymerases. 相似文献

Piscine orthoreovirus (PRV) is associated with heart- and skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI) of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). We have performed detailed sequence analysis of the PRV genome with focus on putative encoded proteins, compared with prototype strains from mammalian (MRV T3D)- and avian orthoreoviruses (ARV-138), and aquareovirus (GCRV-873). Amino acid identities were low for most gene segments but detailed sequence analysis showed that many protein motifs or key amino acid residues known to be central to protein function are conserved for most PRV proteins. For M-class proteins this included a proline residue in μ2 which, for MRV, has been shown to play a key role in both the formation and structural organization of virus inclusion bodies, and affect interferon-β signaling and induction of myocarditis. Predicted structural similarities in the inner core-forming proteins λ1 and σ2 suggest a conserved core structure. In contrast, low amino acid identities in the predicted PRV surface proteins μ1, σ1 and σ3 suggested differences regarding cellular interactions between the reovirus genera. However, for σ1, amino acid residues central for MRV binding to sialic acids, and cleavage- and myristoylation sites in μ1 required for endosomal membrane penetration during infection are partially or wholly conserved in the homologous PRV proteins. In PRV σ3 the only conserved element found was a zinc finger motif. We provide evidence that the S1 segment encoding σ3 also encodes a 124 aa (p13) protein, which appears to be localized to intracellular Golgi-like structures. The S2 and L2 gene segments are also potentially polycistronic, predicted to encode a 71 aa- (p8) and a 98 aa (p11) protein, respectively. It is concluded that PRV has more properties in common with orthoreoviruses than with aquareoviruses. 相似文献

Family Reoviridae, subfamily Spinareovirinae, includes nine current genera. Two of these genera, Aquareovirus and Orthoreovirus, comprise members that are closely related and consistently share nine homologous proteins. Orthoreoviruses have 10 dsRNA genome segments and infect reptiles, birds, and mammals, whereas aquareoviruses have 11 dsRNA genome segments and infect fish. Recently, the first 10-segmented fish reovirus, piscine reovirus (PRV), has been identified and shown to be phylogenetically divergent from the 11-segmented viruses constituting genus Aquareovirus. We have recently extended results for PRV by showing that it does not encode a fusion-associated small transmembrane (FAST) protein, but does encode an outer-fiber protein containing a long N-terminal region of predicted α-helical coiled coil. Three recently characterized 11-segmented fish reoviruses, obtained from grass carp in China and sequenced in full, are also divergent from the viruses now constituting genus Aquareovirus, though not to the same extent as PRV. In the current study, we reexamined the sequences of these three recent isolates of grass carp reovirus (GCRV)–HZ08, GD108, and 104–for further clues to their evolution relative to other aqua- and orthoreoviruses. Structure-based fiber motifs in their encoded outer-fiber proteins were characterized, and other bioinformatics analyses provided evidence against the presence of a FAST protein among their encoded nonstructural proteins. Phylogenetic comparisons showed the combination of more distally branching, approved Aquareovirus and Orthoreovirus members, plus more basally branching isolates GCRV104, GCRV-HZ08/GD108, and PRV, constituting a larger, monophyletic taxon not suitably recognized by the current taxonomic hierarchy. Phylogenetics also suggested that the last common ancestor of all these viruses was a fiber-encoding, nonfusogenic virus and that the FAST protein family arose from at least two separate gain-of-function events. In addition, an apparent evolutionary correlation was found between the gain or loss of NS-FAST and outer-fiber proteins among more distally branching members of this taxon. 相似文献

Mammalian orthoreoviruses are believed to replicate in distinctive, cytoplasmic inclusion bodies, commonly called viral factories or viroplasms. The viral nonstructural protein muNS has been implicated in forming the matrix of these structures, as well as in recruiting other components to them for putative roles in genome replication and particle assembly. In this study, we sought to identify the regions of muNS that are involved in forming factory-like inclusions in transfected cells in the absence of infection or other viral proteins. Sequences in the carboxyl-terminal one-third of the 721-residue muNS protein were linked to this activity. Deletion of as few as eight residues from the carboxyl terminus of muNS resulted in loss of inclusion formation, suggesting that some portion of these residues is required for the phenotype. A region spanning residues 471 to 721 of muNS was the smallest one shown to be sufficient for forming factory-like inclusions. The region from positions 471 to 721 (471-721 region) includes both of two previously predicted coiled-coil segments in muNS, suggesting that one or both of these segments may also be required for inclusion formation. Deletion of the more amino-terminal one of the two predicted coiled-coil segments from the 471-721 region resulted in loss of the phenotype, although replacement of this segment with Aequorea victoria green fluorescent protein, which is known to weakly dimerize, largely restored inclusion formation. Sequences between the two predicted coiled-coil segments were also required for forming factory-like inclusions, and mutation of either one His residue (His570) or one Cys residue (Cys572) within these sequences disrupted the phenotype. The His and Cys residues are part of a small consensus motif that is conserved across muNS homologs from avian orthoreoviruses and aquareoviruses, suggesting this motif may have a common function in these related viruses. The inclusion-forming 471-721 region of muNS was shown to provide a useful platform for the presentation of peptides for studies of protein-protein association through colocalization to factory-like inclusions in transfected cells. 相似文献

Structure and assembly of filamentous bacterial viruses. 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
D A Marvin E J Wachtel 《Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences》1976,276(943):81-98
Filamentous bacterial viruses are flexible nucleoprotein rods, about 6 nm in diameter by 1000-2000 nm in length (depending on the virus strain). A protein shell encloses a central core of single-stranded circular DNA. The coat protein subunits forming the shell are largely alpha-helix, elongated in an axial direction, and also sloping radially, so as to overlap each other and give an arrangement of subunits reminiscent of scales on a fish. This arrangement of alpha-helices is rather like some models of myosin filaments. An early step in assembly of the virion is the formation of a complex between the viral DNA and an intracellular packaging protein that is not found in completed virions. Newly synthesized coat protein becomes associated with the plasma membrane of the cell. During the final steps of assembly, the packaging protein is displaced from the DNA and replaced by coat protein as the virion passes out through the plasma membrane of the host cell. 相似文献

Addition of exogenous protease facilitates reovirus infection in many restrictive cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Virion uncoating is a critical step in the life cycle of mammalian orthoreoviruses. In cell culture, and probably in extraintestinal tissues in vivo, reovirus virions undergo partial proteolysis within endosomal or/or lysosomal compartments. This process converts the virion into a form referred to as an intermediate subvirion particle (ISVP). In natural enteric reovirus infections, proteolytic uncoating takes place extracellularly within the intestinal lumen. The resultant proteolyzed particles, unlike intact virions, have the capacity to penetrate cell membranes and thereby gain access to cytoplasmic components required for viral gene expression. We hypothesized that the capacity of reovirus outer capsid proteins to be proteolyzed is a determinant of cellular host range. To investigate this hypothesis, we asked if the addition of protease to cell culture medium would expand the range of cultured mammalian cell lines that can be productively infected by reoviruses. We identified many transformed and nontransformed cell lines, as well as primary cells, that restrict viral infection. In several of these restrictive cells, virion uncoating is inefficient or blocked. Addition of proteases to the cell culture medium generates ISVP-like particles and promotes viral growth in nearly all cell lines tested. Interestingly, we found that some cell lines that restrict reovirus uncoating still express mature cathepsin L, a lysosomal protease required for virion disassembly in murine L929 cells. This finding suggests that factors in addition to cathepsin L are required for efficient intracellular proteolysis of reovirus virions. Our results demonstrate that virion uncoating is a critical determinant of reovirus cellular host range and that many cells which otherwise support productive reovirus infection cannot efficiently mediate this essential early step in the virus life cycle. 相似文献

Modification of late membrane permeability in avian reovirus-infected cells: viroporin activity of the S1-encoded nonstructural p10 protein 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Bodelón G Labrada L Martínez-Costas J Benavente J 《The Journal of biological chemistry》2002,277(20):17789-17796
Infection of chicken embryo fibroblasts by avian reovirus induces an increase in the permeability of the host plasma membrane at late, but not early, infection times. The absence of permeability changes at early infection times, as well as the dependence of late membrane modification on both viral protein synthesis and an active exocytic route, suggest that a virus-encoded membrane protein is required for avian reovirus to permeabilize cells. Further studies revealed that expression of nonstructural p10 protein in bacterial cells arrested cell growth and enhanced membrane permeability. Membrane leakiness was also observed following transient expression of p10 in BSC-40 monkey cells. Both its permeabilizing effect and the fact that p10 shares several structural and physical characteristics with other membrane-active viral proteins indicate that p10 is an avian reovirus viroporin. Furthermore, the fusogenic extracellular NH(2)-terminal domain of p10 appears to be dispensable for permeabilizing activity, because its deletion entirely abolished the fusogenic activity of p10, without affecting its ability to associate with cell membranes and to enhance membrane permeability. Similar properties have reported previously for immunodeficiency virus type I transmembrane glycoprotein gp41. Thus, like gp41, p10 appears to be a multifunctional protein that plays key roles in virus-host interaction. 相似文献

The P22-like bacteriophages have short tails. Their virions bind to their polysaccharide receptors through six trimeric tailspike proteins that surround the tail tip. These short tails also have a trimeric needle protein that extends beyond the tailspikes from the center of the tail tip, in a position that suggests that it should make first contact with the host’s outer membrane during the infection process. The base of the needle serves as a plug that keeps the DNA in the virion, but role of the needle during adsorption and DNA injection is not well understood. Among the P22-like phages are needle types with two completely different C-terminal distal tip domains. In the phage Sf6-type needle, unlike the other P22-type needle, the distal tip folds into a “knob” with a TNF-like fold, similar to the fiber knobs of bacteriophage PRD1 and Adenovirus. The phage HS1 knob is very similar to that of Sf6, and we report here its crystal structure which, like the Sf6 knob, contains three bound L-glutamate molecules. A chimeric P22 phage with a tail needle that contains the HS1 terminal knob efficiently infects the P22 host, Salmonella enterica, suggesting the knob does not confer host specificity. Likewise, mutations that should abrogate the binding of L-glutamate to the needle do not appear to affect virion function, but several different other genetic changes to the tip of the needle slow down potassium release from the host during infection. These findings suggest that the needle plays a role in phage P22 DNA delivery by controlling the kinetics of DNA ejection into the host. 相似文献

We have recently shown that the Gag polyproteins from human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and HIV-2 can coassemble and functionally complement each other. During virion maturation, the Gag polyproteins undergo proteolytic cleavage to release mature proteins including capsid (CA), which refolds and forms the outer shell of a cone-shaped mature core. Less than one-half of the CA proteins present within the HIV-1 virion are required to form the mature core. Therefore, it is unclear whether the mature core in virions containing both HIV-1 and HIV-2 Gag consists of CA proteins from a single virus or from both viruses. To determine whether CA proteins from two different viruses can coassemble into mature cores of infectious viruses, we exploited the specificity of the tripartite motif 5alpha protein from the rhesus monkey (rhTRIM5alpha) for cores containing HIV-1 CA (hCA) but not the simian immunodeficiency virus SIV(mac) CA protein (sCA). If hCA and sCA cannot coassemble into the same core when equal amounts of sCA and hCA are coexpressed, the infectivities of such virus preparations in cells should be inhibited less than twofold by rhTRIM5alpha. However, if hCA and sCA can coassemble into the same core structure to form a mixed core, rhTRIM5alpha would be able to recognize such cores and significantly restrict virus infectivity. We examined the restriction phenotypes of viruses containing both hCA and sCA. Our results indicate that hCA and sCA can coassemble into the same mature core to produce infectious virus. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of functional coassembly of heterologous CA protein into the retroviral core. 相似文献

The major core protein (p28) of MMC-1, an endogenous type C virus of the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta), was purified and subjected to structural and immunological analyses. The NH2-terminal amino acid sequence of MMC-1 p28 showed extensive homology to the sequences of the major structural proteins (p30) of known mammalian type C viruses. Similarly, interspecies antigenic determinants shared by all the above viral proteins were detected in MMC-1 p28. Competition radioimmunoassays together with the results of statistical analysis of the primary structure data provided evidence that MMC-1 p28 is not more closely related to primate type C viruses of the Papio genus than to those isolated from rodents, cats, or New World monkeys. MMC-1 p28 was found to be closely related structurally to the p30 protein of the avian reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV-A), a horizontally transmitted type C virus of putative mammalian origin. In addition, MMC-1 p28 and REV-A p30 shared a specific subset of antigenic determinants not present in any of the other avian or mammalian type C viruses studied. These findings suggest that MMC-1 and REV may have a common evolutionary origin. 相似文献

Nelson Bay orthoreoviruses (NBVs) are members of the fusogenic orthoreoviruses and possess 10-segmented double-stranded RNA genomes. NBV was first isolated from a fruit bat in Australia more than 40 years ago, but it was not associated with any disease. However, several NBV strains have been recently identified as causative agents for respiratory tract infections in humans. Isolation of these pathogenic bat reoviruses from patients suggests that NBVs have evolved to propagate in humans in the form of zoonosis. To date, no strategy has been developed to rescue infectious viruses from cloned cDNA for any member of the fusogenic orthoreoviruses. In this study, we report the development of a plasmid-based reverse genetics system free of helper viruses and independent of any selection for NBV isolated from humans with acute respiratory infection. cDNAs corresponding to each of the 10 full-length RNA gene segments of NBV were cotransfected into culture cells expressing T7 RNA polymerase, and viable NBV was isolated using a plaque assay. The growth kinetics and cell-to-cell fusion activity of recombinant strains, rescued using the reverse genetics system, were indistinguishable from those of native strains. We used the reverse genetics system to generate viruses deficient in the cell attachment protein σC to define the biological function of this protein in the viral life cycle. Our results with σC-deficient viruses demonstrated that σC is dispensable for cell attachment in several cell lines, including murine fibroblast L929 cells but not in human lung epithelial A549 cells, and plays a critical role in viral pathogenesis. We also used the system to rescue a virus that expresses a yellow fluorescent protein. The reverse genetics system developed in this study can be applied to study the propagation and pathogenesis of pathogenic NBVs and in the generation of recombinant NBVs for future vaccines and therapeutics. 相似文献
