Peripheral T lymphocytes can be subdivided into naive and antigen-experienced T cells. The latter, in turn, are represented by effector and central memory cells that are identified by different profiles of activation markers expression, such as CD44 and CD62L in mice. These markers determine different traffic of T lymphocytes in the organism, but hardly reproduce real antigenic experience of a T lymphocyte. Mechanisms of homeostasis maintenance of T lymphocytes with different activation phenotypes remain largely unknown. To investigate impact of T cell receptor (TCR) transgenic chains on formation of T lymphocytes, their peripheral survival and activation surface phenotypes, we have generated the transgenic mouse strain expressing transgenic β-chain of TCR 1D1 (belonging to the Vβ6 family) on the genetic background B10.D2(R101). Intrathymic development of T cells in these transgenic mice is not impaired. The repertoire of peripheral T lymphocytes in these mice contains 70–80% of T cells expressing transgenic β-chain and 20–30% of T cells expressing endogenous β-chains. The ratio of peripheral CD4+CD8? and CD4?CD8+ T lymphocytes remained unchanged in the transgenic animals, but the percent of T lymphocytes with the “naive” phenotype CD44?CD62L+ was significantly increased, whereas the levels of effector memory CD44+CD62L? and central memory CD44+CD62L+ T lymphocytes were markedly decreased in both subpopulations. On the contrary, T lymphocytes expressing endogenous β-chains had surface phenotype of activated T cells CD44+. Thus, for the first time we have shown that the pool of T lymphocytes with different activation phenotypes depends on the structure of T cell receptors. 相似文献

Flavivirus genomes with deletions in the capsid (C) gene are attractive vaccine candidates, as they secrete highly immunogenic subviral particles (SVPs) without generating infectious virus. Here, we report that cytomegalovirus promoter-driven cDNA of West Nile virus Kunjin (KUNV) containing a glycosylation motif in the envelope (E) gene and a combined deletion of alpha helices 1, 2, and 4 in C produces significantly more SVPs than KUNV cDNAs with nonglycosylated E and various other deletions in C. 相似文献

Our previous studies using trans-complementation analysis of Kunjin virus (KUN) full-length cDNA clones harboring in-frame deletions in the NS3 gene demonstrated the inability of these defective complemented RNAs to be packaged into virus particles (W. J. Liu, P. L. Sedlak, N. Kondratieva, and A. A. Khromykh, J. Virol. 76:10766-10775). In this study we aimed to establish whether this requirement for NS3 in RNA packaging is determined by the secondary RNA structure of the NS3 gene or by the essential role of the translated NS3 gene product. Multiple silent mutations of three computer-predicted stable RNA structures in the NS3 coding region of KUN replicon RNA aimed at disrupting RNA secondary structure without affecting amino acid sequence did not affect RNA replication and packaging into virus-like particles in the packaging cell line, thus demonstrating that the predicted conserved RNA structures in the NS3 gene do not play a role in RNA replication and/or packaging. In contrast, double frameshift mutations in the NS3 coding region of full-length KUN RNA, producing scrambled NS3 protein but retaining secondary RNA structure, resulted in the loss of ability of these defective RNAs to be packaged into virus particles in complementation experiments in KUN replicon-expressing cells. Furthermore, the more robust complementation-packaging system based on established stable cell lines producing large amounts of complemented replicating NS3-deficient replicon RNAs and infection with KUN virus to provide structural proteins also failed to detect any secreted virus-like particles containing packaged NS3-deficient replicon RNAs. These results have now firmly established the requirement of KUN NS3 protein translated in cis for genome packaging into virus particles. 相似文献

A possible role in RNA replication for interactions between conserved complementary (cyclization) sequences in the 5'- and 3'-terminal regions of Flavivirus RNA was previously suggested but never tested in vivo. Using the M-fold program for RNA secondary-structure predictions, we examined for the first time the base-pairing interactions between the covalently linked 5' genomic region (first ~160 nucleotides) and the 3' untranslated region (last ~115 nucleotides) for a range of mosquito-borne Flavivirus species. Base-pairing occurred as predicted for the previously proposed conserved cyclization sequences. In order to obtain experimental evidence of the predicted interactions, the putative cyclization sequences (5' or 3') in the replicon RNA of the mosquito-borne Kunjin virus were mutated either separately, to destroy base-pairing, or simultaneously, to restore the complementarity. None of the RNAs with separate mutations in only the 5' or only the 3' cyclization sequences was able to replicate after transfection into BHK cells, while replicon RNA with simultaneous compensatory mutations in both cyclization sequences was replication competent. This was detected by immunofluorescence for expression of the major nonstructural protein NS3 and by Northern blot analysis for amplification and accumulation of replicon RNA. We then used the M-fold program to analyze RNA secondary structure of the covalently linked 5'- and 3'-terminal regions of three tick-borne virus species and identified a previously undescribed additional pair of conserved complementary sequences in locations similar to those of the mosquito-borne species. They base-paired with DeltaG values of approximately -20 kcal, equivalent or greater in stability than those calculated for the originally proposed cyclization sequences. The results show that the base-pairing between 5' and 3' complementary sequences, rather than the nucleotide sequence per se, is essential for the replication of mosquito-borne Kunjin virus RNA and that more than one pair of cyclization sequences might be involved in the replication of the tick-borne Flavivirus species. 相似文献

Effects of mutations rad201, mei-9, and mei-41 on cell sensitivity to gamma-radiation in Drosophila oogenesis were studied. Females of the control (Oregon R) and mutant strains were irradiated at a dose of 15 Gy. For 9 days after the irradiation, the number of eggs in consecutive day batches, the frequency of dominant lethals (DLs) among the eggs, and the cytologically recorded distribution of oocytes for stages of their development, and the frequency of egg chamber degeneration in female ovaries were estimated. As a result of joint analysis of the data, different oogenesis stages were characterized with regard to the frequency of two radiation-induced events: appearance of DLs in oocytes and degeneration of egg chambers due to apoptosis of nurse cells. It was shown that the mutations affect these parameters only at particular stages of early oogenesis, at which previtellogenetic growth of egg follicles and meiotic recombination in oocytes occur. Mutation rad201G1 increased the frequency of DLs and egg chamber degeneration, mei-41D5 affected only the DL frequency, and mei-9a, in addition to enhancing the chamber degeneration frequency, promoted radiation "rescue" of some oocytes from the DL induction. 相似文献

The effect of Drosophila mutation rad201G1 together with mutations mei-41D5 and mei-9a on the sensitivity of oocytes to induction of dominant lethals (DLs) was studied. To this end, the frequencies of spontaneous and gamma-radiation-induced DLs in consecutive egg batches of females carrying double or single mutations were estimated. Since the effects of the mutations examined are expressed only at the previtellogenetic stages of oogenesis, only newly hatched (0-5-hour-old) females, whose oocytes did not develop farther than stage 7, were irradiated. The results obtained indicated that in intact and irradiated oocytes of double mutants mei-9a rad201G1 and mei-41D5 rad201G1, mutation rad201G1 epistatically suppresses the mutations of the both mei genes. 相似文献

We have previously reported successful trans-complementation of defective Kunjin virus genomic RNAs with a range of large lethal deletions in the nonstructural genes NS1, NS3, and NS5 (A. A. Khromykh et al., J. Virol. 74:3253-3263, 2000). In this study we have mapped further the minimal region in the NS5 gene essential for efficient trans-complementation of genome-length RNAs in repBHK cells to the first 316 of the 905 codons. To allow amplification and easy detection of complemented defective RNAs with deletions apparently affecting virus assembly, we have developed a dual replicon complementation system. In this system defective replicon RNAs with a deletion(s) in the nonstructural genes also encoded the puromycin resistance gene (PAC gene) and the reporter gene for beta-galactosidase (beta-Gal). Complementation of these defective replicon RNAs in repBHK cells resulted in expression of PAC and beta-Gal which allowed establishment of cell lines stably producing replicating defective RNAs by selection with puromycin and comparison of replication efficiencies of complemented defective RNAs by beta-Gal assay. Using this system we demonstrated that deletions in the C-terminal 434 codons of NS3 (codons 178 to 611) were complemented for RNA replication, while any deletions in the first 178 codons were not. None of the genome-length RNAs containing deletions in NS3 shown to be complementable for RNA replication produced secreted defective viruses during complementation in repBHK cells. In contrast, structural proteins produced from these complemented defective RNAs were able to package helper replicon RNA. The results define minimal regions in the NS3 and NS5 genes essential for the formation of complementable replication complex and show a requirement of NS3 in cis for virus assembly. 相似文献
