Genome rearrangements in porcine rotaviruses: biochemical and biological comparisons between a supershort strain and its standard counterpart.

چکیده
Two porcine rotavirus strains (CN86 and CC86) isolated during an epidemiological survey of diarrhoea in swine in Argentina were studied because of several unique characteristics. Both these strains were isolated and cloned from the same faecal sample and the electrophoretic migration of 10 of their 11 genomic dsRNA genomic segments in polyacrylamide gels was identical, but strain CC86 had a supershort electropherotype. We analysed biochemical, serological and biological properties of both viruses. In vitro translation of genome segment 11 RNAs showed that both viruses produced a polypeptide with an apparent Mr of 26K. No differences in any of the other virus-induced proteins made in infected MA104 cells were found on one- and two-dimensional gels for either strain. In addition, the serotype and the subgroup specificities of both viruses were identical (group A, subgroup I, serotype 5). These results suggest that the rearranged strain was probably generated from the standard one and that the coding capacity of the rearranged segment was conserved. Consistent with this hypothesis, primer extension analysis revealed that the supershort strain had a rearrangement involving partial duplication of genomic segment 11. Biological studies showed differences between these viruses. The rearranged strain (CC86) produced larger plaques in monolayers of MA104 cells and outgrew the standard strain (CN86) when cells were coinfected with both viruses at different relative concentrations and different m.o.i. The possibility that large plaque formation and efficient virus replication can be influenced by the products of genomic segment 11, in addition to segment 4, is discussed.

Complete genome sequences of a Korean virulent porcine epidemic diarrhea virus and its attenuated counterpart.
A virulent porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) strain, DR13, was obtained from suckling pigs suspected of having porcine epidemic diarrhea in 1999 in Korea, and its attenuated counterpart was derived from virulent strain DR13 by serial propagation in Vero cells. This report describes the first complete genome sequences of virulent PEDV and its attenuated counterpart, which will provide impor...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of novel G5 bovine rotavirus strains.
Group A rotaviruses are a major cause of acute gastroenteritis in young children as well as many domestic animals. The rotavirus genome is composed of 11 segments of double-stranded RNA and can undergo genetic reassortment during mixed infections, leading to progeny viruses with novel or atypical phenotypes. The aim of this study was to determine if the bovine group A rotavirus strains KJ44 and...

Rotaviruses of species A (RVA) are a common cause of diarrhoea in children and the young of various other mammals and birds worldwide. To investigate possible interspecies transmission of RVAs, whole genomes of 18 human and 6 domestic animal RVA strains identified in Uganda between 2012 and 2014 were sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq platform. The backbone of the human RVA strains had either a...

متن کاملNew porcine rotavirus serotype antigenically related to human rotavirus serotype 3.
Serotyping of porcine rotaviruses isolated in MA104 cells from Australian piglets with diarrhea showed that two strains belonged to serotype 3 and one strain was antigenically similar to the OSU strain of porcine rotavirus (serotype 5). In addition, neutralizing antibodies to human rotavirus serotype 4 (ST-3 strain) were detected in serum samples from sows in one area, and so it seems probable ...
