Identification and antiviral activity of common polymorphisms in the APOBEC3 locus in human populations.

ABSTRACT: There are seven members of the APOBEC3 family in humans (APOBEC3A through APOBEC3H) that have antiviral activity against retroviruses and/or retroelements. To determine whether variants in APOBEC3 genes in human populations have altered antiviral activity, we identified and functionally tested novel single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in APOBEC3 genes present in the 1000 Genome Project dataset. We found that common variants minor allele frequency (> 1%) of APOBEC3A, C, F, and G do not affect protein function. However, we found that two common novel polymorphisms in APOBEC3D decrease antiviral activity against HIV-1, and one polymorphism decreases activity against Alu retrotransposons. We characterized the diversity of APOBEC3 genes in three human populations and find significant evidence that APOBEC3D has evolved under purifying selection in recent human history. These data suggest that the activity of APOBEC3D has been maintained in human populations for a cellular function in host defense.

Project description:Races belonging to Ug99 lineage of stem rust fungus Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt) continue to pose a threat to wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production in various African countries. Growing resistant varieties is the most economical and environmentally friendly control measure. Recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations from the crosses of susceptible parent 'Cacuke' with the resistant parents 'Huhwa' and 'Yaye' were phenotyped for resistance at the seedling stage to Pgt race TTKSK (Ug99) and in adult plants in field trials at Njoro, Kenya for two seasons in 2016. Using the Affymetrix Axiom breeders SNP array, two stem rust resistance genes, temporarily designated as SrH and SrY, were identified and mapped on chromosome arm 2BL through selective genotyping and bulked segregant analysis (BSA), respectively. Kompetitive allele specific polymorphism (KASP) markers and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were used to saturate chromosome arm 2BL in both RIL populations. SrH mapped between markers cim109 and cim114 at a distance of 0.9 cM proximal, and cim117 at 2.9 cM distal. SrY was flanked by markers cim109 and cim116 at 0.8 cM proximal, and IWB45932 at 1.9 cM distal. Two Ug99-effective stem rust resistance genes derived from bread wheat, Sr9h and Sr28, have been reported on chromosome arm 2BL. Infection types and map position in Huhwa and Yaye indicated that Sr28 was absent in both the parents. However, susceptible reactions produced by resistant lines from both populations against Sr9h-virulent race TTKSF+ confirmed the presence of a common resistance locus Sr9h in both lines. Test of allelism is required to establish genetic relationships between genes identified in present study and Sr9h. Marker cim117 linked to SrH was genotyped on set of wheat lines with Huhwa in the pedigree and is advised to be used for marker assisted selection for this gene, however, a combination of phenotypic and genotypic assays is desirable for both genes especially for selection of Sr9h in breeding programs.
