Protein coding assignment of avian reovirus strain S1133.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Avian reovirus S1133 encodes 10 primary translation products, 8 of which are structural components of the viral particle and 2 of which are nonstructural proteins. The identity of the gene that codes for each of these polypeptides was determined by in vitro translation of denatured individual genome segments.

Protein coding assignment of the S genes of the avian reovirus S1133.
The protein coding assignments for each of the S genes of the avian reovirus S1133 have been determined. In vitro translation of RNA derived from individual S dsRNA genome segments demonstrated that the largest S gene, S1, codes for the smallest protein, sigma C; the S2 for sigma A; the S3 gene for sigma C; and the S4 gene for sigma NS. No other gene products could be identified. By examination...
متن کاملIn vitro characterization of an avian reovirus vaccine strain.
In vitro studies were performed to characterize the vaccine strain, designated P100, derived from the arthrogenic reovirus isolate, S1133, by cold adaptation. P100 appeared to be temperature sensitive, shown by a marked drop in titer and efficiency of plaquing after incubation at 41 degrees. Studies indicated that genomic double-stranded RNA and protein synthesis were severely restricted at the...
متن کاملObservations on the ability of avian reovirus vaccination of hens to protect their progeny against the effects of challenge with homologous and heterologous strains.
Avian reovirus vaccines of the S1133 strain, used indirectly in the dams of challenged chicks, were found to confer protection against clinical signs and/or deaths resulting from the use of both homologous and heterologous challenge strains. There was some protection against every strain used, although this did vary in degree. It was difficult to relate this variation in protection to the diffe...
متن کاملGenetic and pathogenic characterisation of 11 avian reovirus isolates from northern China suggests continued evolution of virulence
Avian reovirus (ARV) infections characterised by severe arthritis, tenosynovitis, pericarditis, and depressed growth have become increasingly frequent in recent years. In this study, we isolated and identified 11 ARV field strains from chickens with viral arthritis and reduced growth in northern China. Comparative analysis of the σC nucleotide and amino acid sequences demonstrated that all isol...
متن کاملSequential partially overlapping gene arrangement in the tricistronic S1 genome segments of avian reovirus and Nelson Bay reovirus: implications for translation initiation.
Previous studies of the avian reovirus strain S1133 (ARV-S1133) S1 genome segment revealed that the open reading frame (ORF) encoding the final sigmaC viral cell attachment protein initiates over 600 nucleotides distal from the 5' end of the S1 mRNA and is preceded by two predicted small nonoverlapping ORFs. To more clearly define the translational properties of this unusual polycistronic RNA, ...
