Construction and applications of yellow fever virus replicons.
Subgenomic replicons of yellow fever virus (YFV) were constructed to allow expression of heterologous reporter genes in a replication-dependent manner. Expression of the antibiotic resistance gene neomycin phosphotransferase II (Neo) from one of these YFV replicons allowed selection of a stable population of cells (BHK-REP cells) in which the YFV replicon persistently replicated. BHK-REP cells ...
متن کاملA replicon trans-packaging system reveals the requirement of nonstructural proteins for the assembly of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) virion.
A selective trans-packaging system was developed to produce and isolate bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) pseudo-particles with complementing reporter replicons and their packaging proteins expressed in trans with recombinant vaccinia virus. The encapsidation of replicon rNS3-5B was dependent not only on the in trans expression of structural proteins C, E(rns), E1 and E2, but also the nonstruc...
متن کاملSindbis virus with a tricomponent genome.
We established a system for propagation of Sindbis virus (SIN)-based replicons in tissue culture in the form of a tricomponent genome virus. Three RNA fragments containing complementing genetic information required for virus replication are packaged into separate viral particles, and each cell produces at least 1,000 packaged replicons and the number of packaged helpers sufficient to perform th...
متن کاملInsertion and deletion analyses identify regions of non-structural protein 5A of Hepatitis C virus that are dispensable for viral genome replication.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) non-structural protein 5A (NS5A) plays an essential role in viral genome replication. A series of transposon-mediated insertion mutants and deletion mutants of NS5A was used to examine the colony-forming ability of HCV subgenomic replicons encoding the mutant proteins. The results reveal that two regions of NS5A can tolerate insertions: one spanning residues 240-314, whi...
متن کاملGeneration of nondefective Rous sarcoma virus by asymmetric recombination between deletion mutants.
A replication-defective deletion mutant of Prague Rous sarcoma virus (RSV), which lacks functional gag, pol, and env genes, was crossed with a transformation-defective deletion mutant derived from Schmidt-Ruppin RSV. Transformation- and replication-competent viruses were generated in the cross. Characterization of one of these rescued viruses indicated that it was a nondefective recombinant con...
