Complete nucleotide sequences of the small and medium RNA genome segments of Kairi virus (family Bunyaviridae).

ABSTRACT: We determined the complete nucleotide sequences of the small (S) and medium (M) RNA genome segments of a Kairi virus (KRIV) isolate from the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. The S segment consists of 992 nucleotides, and the M segment consists of 4,619 nucleotides. Phylogenetic analyses were conducted on each genomic segment, and these data are discussed. A 526 nucleotide region of the large (L) segment was also sequenced. This is the first study to present sequence and phylogenetic data for a KRIV isolate from Latin America.

Functional analysis of the noncoding regions of the Uukuniemi virus (Bunyaviridae) RNA segments.

Project description:The role of the variable portion of the noncoding regions (NCRs) of the three Bunyaviridae RNA segments (L, M, S) in transcription, replication, and packaging was studied using the recently developed plasmid-driven RNA polymerase I minigenome system for Uukuniemi (UUK) virus, genus Phlebovirus (11), as a model. Comparison of the different segments showed that all NCRs were sufficient to mediate transcription/replication of a minigenome but demonstrated decreased promoter strength in the order M > L > S. Chimeric minigenomes with flanking NCRs from different genome segments revealed that the number of total base pairs within the inverted, partially complementary ends was important for transcription and replication. Point mutations increasing the base-pairing potential produced increased reporter expression, indicating that complementarity between the 5' and 3' ends is crucial for promoter activity. The role of the intergenic region (IGR) located between the two open reading frames of the ambisense UUK virus S segment was analyzed by inserting this sequence element downstream of the reporter genes. The presence of the IGR was found to enhance reporter expression, demonstrating that efficient transcription termination, regulated by the IGR, is important for optimal minigenome mRNA translation. Finally, genome packaging efficacy varied for different NCRs and was strongest for L followed by M and S. Strong reporter gene activity was still observed after seven consecutive cell culture passages, indicating a selective rather than random genome-packaging mechanism. In summary, our results demonstrate that the NCRs from all three segments contain the necessary signals to initiate transcription and replication as well as packaging. Based on promoter strength, M-segment NCRs may be the preferred choice for the development of reverse genetics and minigenome rescue systems for bunyaviruses.

Kupe virus, a new virus in the family bunyaviridae, genus nairovirus, kenya.

Project description:We have previously described isolation and preliminary identification of a virus related to Dugbe virus (DUGV), family Bunyaviridae, genus Nairovirus. Six isolates of the virus were obtained from pools of Amblyomma gemma and Rhipicephalus pulchellus ticks collected from hides of cattle in Nairobi, Kenya, in October 1999. We report results of further characterization of this virus, including growth kinetics in cell culture and full-length genome sequencing and genetic characterization, which show it to be distinct from DUGV. We suggest that this is a new virus in the family Bunyaviridae, genus Nairovirus, and we propose that it be designated Kupe virus.

Evidence that Lokern virus (family Peribunyaviridae) is a reassortant that acquired its small and large genome segments from Main Drain virus and its medium genome segment from an undiscovered virus.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Lokern virus (LOKV) is a poorly characterized arthropod-borne virus belonging to the genus Orthobunyavirus (family Peribunyaviridae). All viruses in this genus have tripartite, single-stranded, negative-sense RNA genomes, and the three RNA segments are designated as small, (S), medium (M) and large (L). A 559 nt. region of the M RNA segment of LOKV has been sequenced and there are no sequence data available for its S or L RNA segments. The purpose of this study was to sequence the genome of LOKV. METHODS:The genome of LOKV was fully sequenced by unbiased high-throughput sequencing, 5' and 3' rapid amplification of cDNA ends, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and Sanger sequencing. RESULTS:The S and L RNA segments of LOKV consist of 952 and 6864 nt. respectively and both have 99.0% nucleotide identity with the corresponding regions of Main Drain virus (MDV). In contrast, the 4450-nt. M RNA segment has only 59.0% nucleotide identity with the corresponding region of MDV and no more than 72.7% nucleotide identity with all other M RNA segment sequences in the Genbank database. Phylogenetic data support these findings. CONCLUSIONS:This study provides evidence that LOKV is a natural reassortant that acquired its S and L RNA segments from MDV and its M RNA segment from an undiscovered, and possibly extinct, virus. The availability of complete genome sequence data facilitates the accurate detection, identification and diagnosis of viruses and viral infections, and this is especially true for viruses with segmented genomes because it can be difficult or even impossible to differentiate between reassortants and their precursors when incomplete sequence data are available.

Identification of a novel subtype of South River virus (family Bunyaviridae).

Project description:We previously reported the isolation of South River virus (SORV) from a pool of mosquitoes collected in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico (Farfan-Ale et al. in Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis 10:777-783, 5). The isolate (designated SORV-252) was identified as SORV after a 197-nucleotide region of its small RNA genome segment was sequenced. In the present study, the complete small and medium RNA genome segments and part of the large RNA genome segment of SORV-252 were sequenced and shown to have 92%, 85% and 90% nucleotide sequence identity, respectively, to the homologous regions of the prototype SORV isolate (NJO-94F). To determine the antigenic relationship between SORV-252 and NJO-94F, cross-plaque reduction neutralization tests (PRNTs) were performed using sera from mice inoculated with these viruses. SORV-252 and NJO-94F were distinguishable in the cross-neutralization assays; there was a twofold difference in the PRNT titers in one direction and a fourfold difference in the other direction, suggesting that SORV-252 represents a novel subtype of SORV. Additionally, SORV-252 and NJO-94F have distinct plaque morphologies in African green monkey kidney (Vero) cells. In conclusion, we provide evidence that a novel subtype of SORV is present in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico.

Aguacate virus, a new antigenic complex of the genus Phlebovirus (family Bunyaviridae).

Project description:Genomic and antigenic characterization of Aguacate virus, a tentative species of the genus Phlebovirus, and three other unclassified viruses, Armero virus, Durania virus and Ixcanal virus, demonstrate a close relationship to one another. They are distinct from the other nine recognized species within the genus Phlebovirus. We propose to designate them as a new (tenth) serogroup or species (Aguacate virus) within the genus. The four viruses were all isolated from phlebotomine sandflies (Lutzomyia sp.) collected in Central and South America. Aguacate virus appears to be a natural reassortant and serves as one more example of the high frequency of reassortment in this genus.

Geographical range of Rio Mamore virus (family Bunyaviridae, genus Hantavirus) in association with the small-eared pygmy rice rat (Oligoryzomys microtis).

Project description:Hantavirus HTN.007 was originally isolated from a small-eared pygmy rice rat (Oligoryzomys microtis) captured in northeastern Peru. The results of analyses of nucleotide and amino acid sequence data in this study indicated that HTN.007 is a strain of Rio Mamoré virus (RIOMV) which is enzootic in small-eared pygmy rice rat populations in Bolivia. As such, the results of this study extend our knowledge of the geographical range of RIOMV and support the notion that the small-eared pygmy rice rat is the principal host of RIOMV.

Complete nucleotide sequences and genome organization of a cherry isolate of cherry leaf roll virus.

Project description:The complete nucleotide sequence of cherry leaf roll virus (CLRV, genus Nepovirus) from a naturally infected cherry tree (Prunus avium cv. Bing) in North America was determined. RNA1 and RNA2 consist of 7,893 and 6,492 nucleotides, respectively, plus a poly-(A) tail. Each RNA encodes a single potential open reading frame. The first 657 nucleotides of RNA1 and RNA2 are 99% identical and include the 5'-UTR and the first 214 deduced amino acids of the polyproteins following the first of two in-frame start codons. Phylogenetic analysis reveals close relationships between CLRV and members of subgroup C of the genus Nepovirus.
