Presence of antibodies against genogroup VI norovirus in humans.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Noroviruses are important enteric pathogens in humans and animals. Recently, we reported a novel canine norovirus (CaNoV) in dogs with diarrhea belonging to a new genogroup (GVI). No data are available on exposure of humans to this virus. METHODS: Sera from 373 small animal veterinarians and 120 age-matched population controls were tested for IgG antibodies to CaNoV by a recombinant virus like particle based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS: Antibodies to CaNoV were found in 22.3% of the veterinarians and 5.8% of the control group (p?

Mapping broadly reactive norovirus genogroup I and II monoclonal antibodies.

Project description:Noroviruses are responsible for most acute nonbacterial epidemic outbreaks of gastroenteritis worldwide. To develop cross-reactive monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) for rapid identification of genogroup I and II (GI and GII) noroviruses (NoVs) in field specimens, mice were immunized with baculovirus-expressed recombinant virus-like particles (VLPs) corresponding to NoVs. Nine MAbs against the capsid protein were identified that detected both GI and GII NoV VLPs. These MAbs were tested in competition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) to identify common epitope reactivities to GI and GII VLPs. Patterns of competitive reactivity placed these MAbs into two epitope groups (groups 1 and 2). Epitopes for MAbs NV23 and NS22 (group 1) and MAb F120 (group 2) were mapped to a continuous region in the C-terminal P1 subdomain of the capsid protein. This domain is within regions previously defined to contain cross-reactive epitopes in GI and GII viruses, suggesting that common epitopes are clustered within the P1 domain of the capsid protein. Further characterization in an accompanying paper (B. Kou et al., Clin Vaccine Immunol 22:160-167, 2015, http://dx.doi.org/10.1128/CVI.00519-14) revealed that MAb NV23 (epitope group 1) is able to detect GI and GII viruses in stool. Inclusion of the GI and GII cross-reactive MAb NV23 in antigen detection assays may facilitate the identification of GI and GII human noroviruses in stool samples as causative agents of outbreaks and sporadic cases of gastroenteritis worldwide.

Presence of a surface-exposed loop facilitates trypsinization of particles of Sinsiro virus, a genogroup II.3 norovirus.

Project description:Noroviruses (NoVs) are the causative agents of nonbacterial acute gastroenteritis in humans. NoVs that belong to genogroup II (GII) are quite prevalent and prone to undergo recombination, and their three-dimensional structure is not yet known. Protein homology modeling of Sinsiro virus (SV), a member of the GII.3 NoVs, revealed the presence of a surface-exposed 20-amino-acid (aa) insertion in the P2 domain of the capsid protein (CP) relative to the Norwalk virus (NV) CP, which is a well known hot spot for mutations to counter the host immunological response. To further characterize the role of the long insertion in SV, the capsid protein gene was expressed using the recombinant baculovirus system. Trypsinization of the resultant virus-like particles yielded two predominant bands (31.7 and 26.1 kDa) in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Western blot analysis. N-terminal sequencing and analysis of the mass spectroscopic data indicated that these fragments correspond to residues 1 to 292 (26.1 kDa) and 307 to 544 (31.7 kDa). In addition, the above data taken together with the comparative modeling studies indicated that the trypsin cleavage sites of the Sinsiro virus CP, Arg292 and Arg307, are located at the beginning of and within the 20-aa insertion in the P2 domain, respectively. This study demonstrates that the presence of the surface-exposed loop in the GII.3 NoVs facilitates the trypsinization of the capsid protein in the assembled form. The SV particles remain intact even after trypsin digestion and retain the suggested receptor binding linear epitope of residues 325 to 334. The above results are distinct from those obtained from the trypsinization studies performed earlier on the NV (GI) and VA387 (GII) viruses, both of which lack the large surface insertion and associated basic residues. These new observations may have implications for host receptor binding, cell entry, and norovirus infection in general.

Identification of Genogroup I and Genogroup II broadly reactive epitopes on the norovirus capsid.

Project description:Norwalk virus, a member of the family Caliciviridae, is an important cause of acute epidemic nonbacterial gastroenteritis. Norwalk and related viruses are classified in a separate genus of Caliciviridae called Norovirus, which is comprised of at least three genogroups based on sequence differences. Many of the currently available immunologic reagents used to study these viruses are type specific, which limits the identification of antigenically distinct viruses in detection assays. Identification of type-specific and cross-reactive epitopes is essential for designing broadly cross-reactive diagnostic assays and dissecting the immune response to calicivirus infection. To address this, we have mapped the epitopes on the norovirus capsid protein for both a genogroup I-cross-reactive monoclonal antibody and a genogroup II-cross-reactive monoclonal antibody by use of norovirus deletion and point mutants. The epitopes for both monoclonal antibodies mapped to the C-terminal P1 subdomain of the capsid protein. Although the genogroup I-cross-reactive monoclonal antibody was previously believed to recognize a linear epitope, our results indicate that a conformational component of the epitope explains the monoclonal antibody's genogroup specificity. Identification of the epitopes for these monoclonal antibodies is of significance, as they are components in a commercially available norovirus-diagnostic enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Molecular Evolution of the Capsid Gene in Norovirus Genogroup I.

Project description:We studied the molecular evolution of the capsid gene in all genotypes (genotypes 1-9) of human norovirus (NoV) genogroup I. The evolutionary time scale and rate were estimated by the Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method. We also performed selective pressure analysis and B-cell linear epitope prediction in the deduced NoV GI capsid protein. Furthermore, we analysed the effective population size of the virus using Bayesian skyline plot (BSP) analysis. A phylogenetic tree by MCMC showed that NoV GI diverged from the common ancestor of NoV GII, GIII, and GIV approximately 2,800 years ago with rapid evolution (about 10(-3) substitutions/site/year). Some positive selection sites and over 400 negative selection sites were estimated in the deduced capsid protein. Many epitopes were estimated in the deduced virus capsid proteins. An epitope of GI.1 may be associated with histo-blood group antigen binding sites (Ser377, Pro378, and Ser380). Moreover, BSP suggested that the adaptation of NoV GI strains to humans was affected by natural selection. The results suggested that NoV GI strains evolved rapidly and date back to many years ago. Additionally, the virus may have undergone locally affected natural selection in the host resulting in its adaptation to humans.

Molecular characterization and pathogenicity of a genogroup GVI feline norovirus.

Project description:Norovirus (NoV) has been classified into 6 genogroups, GI-GVI. In the present study, we identified novel feline NoV (FNoV) M49-1 strain. The C-terminal of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of the FNoV M49-1 strain was highly homologous with GIV FNoV and GIV lion norovirus, whereas VP1 was highly homologous with GVI canine NoV (CNoV). Based on the results of the Simplot analysis, the FNoV M49-1 strain may have been produced by recombination between GIV.2 FNoV and GVI.1 CNoV. In addition, specific pathogen-free cats inoculated with FNoV gene-positive-fecal samples developed diarrhea symptoms, and the viral gene was detected in their feces and blood.

Genetic characterization of genogroup I norovirus in outbreaks of gastroenteritis.

Project description:In this study, we demonstrate that differences within the P2 domain of norovirus genogroup I (GI) strains can be used to segregate outbreaks which are unrelated, whereas complete conservation within this region allows tracking of strains that are part of a single outbreak and likely to have a common source.

Norovirus genogroup II gastroenteritis in hospitalized children in South India.

Project description:The distribution of norovirus (NoV) genogroup II in children < 5 years of age admitted to a south Indian hospital with diarrhea was investigated. Viral RNA extracted from 282 stool samples were screened for NoV GII and positive amplicons sequenced. Twenty-eight (9.9%) had NoV GII infection with a median age of 6 months, with more severe episodes of diarrhea among infected (median Vesikari score 13, interquartile range [IQR] 10-15) than children without infection (median score 10, IQR 8-13, P = 0.002). The study documents NoV GII infections as an important cause of gastroenteritis and the genetic diversity of circulating strains.

Molecular Evolution of the Protease Region in Norovirus Genogroup II.

Project description:Noroviruses are a major cause of viral epidemic gastroenteritis in humans worldwide. The protease (Pro) encoded in open reading frame 1 (ORF1) is an essential enzyme for proteolysis of the viral polyprotein. Although there are some reports regarding the evolutionary analysis of norovirus GII-encoding genes, there are few reports focused on the Pro region. We analyzed the molecular evolution of the Pro region of norovirus GII using bioinformatics approaches. A time-scaled phylogenetic tree of the Pro region constructed using a Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo method indicated that the common ancestor of GII diverged from GIV around 1680 CE [95% highest posterior density (HPD), 1607-1749]. The GII Pro region emerged around 1752 CE (95%HPD, 1707-1794), forming three further lineages. The evolutionary rate of GII Pro region was estimated at more than 10-3 substitutions/site/year. The distribution of the phylogenetic distances of each genotype differed, and showed genetic diversity. Mapping of the negative selection and substitution sites of the Pro structure showed that the substitution sites in the Pro protein were mostly produced under neutral selection in positions structurally adjacent to the active sites for proteolysis, whereas negative selection was observed in residues distant from the active sites. The phylodynamics of GII.P4, GII.P7, GII.P16, GII.P21, and GII.P31 indicated that their effective population sizes increased during the period from 2005 to 2016 and the increase in population size was almost consistent with the collection year of these genotypes. These results suggest that the Pro region of the norovirus GII evolved rapidly, but under no positive selection, with a high genetic divergence, similar to that of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) region and the VP1 region of noroviruses.
