Multiple combinations of P[13]-like genotype with G3, G4, and G5 in porcine rotaviruses.

ABSTRACT: Epidemiological surveillance of porcine rotavirus (PoRV) strains was carried out in Chiang Mai Province, Thailand, from 2002 to 2003, and eight rotavirus isolates could not be completely typed by PCR. Of these, six were G3 and one was G4 and displayed a P-nontypeable genotype, while another isolate was both G and P nontypeable. Analysis of a partial VP4 gene of all eight P-nontypeable strains revealed a high degree of amino acid sequence identities (94.7% to 100%), suggesting that they belonged to the same P genotype. Comparison of the amino acid sequences of two representative strains (namely, strains CMP178 and CMP213) with those of 27 other known P genotypes revealed a high degree of amino acid sequence identity with those of P[13] porcine rotavirus reference strains HP113 and HP140, which were recently isolated in India. However, amino acid sequence comparison with non-P[13] rotavirus strains revealed relatively low identities, ranging from 58.2% to 84.8% for full-length VP4 sequences and 35.1% to 80.6% for VP8* sequences. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that CMP178 and CMP213 clustered together in a monophyletic branch with P[13]-like genotypes HP113 and HP140 which was clearly separated from the other lineages of P[13] or P[22] strains. Altogether, these findings indicate that PoRV strains CMP178 and CMP213 should be considered the P[13]-like VP4 genotype, a rare genotype that has been identified only in pigs. This study provides additional evidence of increasing genetic diversity among group A rotaviruses in nature.

Project description:Group A rotaviruses (RVAs) are 11-segmented, double-stranded RNA viruses and important causes of gastroenteritis in the young of many animal species. Previous studies have suggested that human Wa-like RVAs share a close evolutionary relationship with porcine RVAs. Specifically, the VP1-VP3 and NSP2-5/6 genes of these viruses are usually classified as genotype 1 with >81% nucleotide sequence identity. Yet, it remains unknown whether the genotype 1 genes and proteins of human Wa-like strains are distinguishable from those of porcine strains. To investigate this, we performed comprehensive bioinformatic analyses using all known genotype 1 gene sequences. The RVAs analyzed represent wildtype strains isolated from humans or pigs at various geographical locations during the years of 2004-2013, including 11 newly-sequenced porcine RVAs from Brazil. We also analyzed archival strains that were isolated during the years of 1977-1992 as well as atypical strains involved in inter-species transmission between humans and pigs. We found that, in general, the genotype 1 genes of typical modern human Wa-like RVAs clustered together in phylogenetic trees and were separate from those of typical modern porcine RVAs. The only exception was for the NSP5/6 gene, which showed no host-specific phylogenetic clustering. Using amino acid sequence alignments, we identified 34 positions that differentiated the VP1-VP3, NSP2, and NSP3 genotype 1 proteins of typical modern human Wa-like RVAs versus typical modern porcine RVAs and documented how these positions vary in the archival/unusual isolates. No host-specific amino acid positions were identified for NSP4, NSP5, or NSP6. Altogether, the results of this study support the notion that human Wa-like RVAs and porcine RVAs are evolutionarily related, but indicate that some of their genotype 1 genes and proteins have diverged over time possibly as a reflection of sequestered replication and protein co-adaptation in their respective hosts.
