Characterization of mutations in West Nile virus NS4B protein identifies proline residue 54 as a determinant of attenuation

Project description:The flavivirus genus has conserved NS4B residues at P54, L56, and W103. We sought to determine both in vitro and in vivo which mutations displayed attenuated characteristics for use as potential vaccine candidates.

Sequence-Specific Fidelity Alterations Associated with West Nile Virus Attenuation in Mosquitoes.

Project description:High rates of error-prone replication result in the rapid accumulation of genetic diversity of RNA viruses. Recent studies suggest that mutation rates are selected for optimal viral fitness and that modest variations in replicase fidelity may be associated with viral attenuation. Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) are unique in their requirement for host cycling and may necessitate substantial genetic and phenotypic plasticity. In order to more thoroughly investigate the correlates, mechanisms and consequences of arbovirus fidelity, we selected fidelity variants of West Nile virus (WNV; Flaviviridae, Flavivirus) utilizing selection in the presence of a mutagen. We identified two mutations in the WNV RNA-dependent RNA polymerase associated with increased fidelity, V793I and G806R, and a single mutation in the WNV methyltransferase, T248I, associated with decreased fidelity. Both deep-sequencing and in vitro biochemical assays confirmed strain-specific differences in both fidelity and mutational bias. WNV fidelity variants demonstrated host-specific alterations to replicative fitness in vitro, with modest attenuation in mosquito but not vertebrate cell culture. Experimental infections of colonized and field populations of Cx. quinquefaciatus demonstrated that WNV fidelity alterations are associated with a significantly impaired capacity to establish viable infections in mosquitoes. Taken together, these studies (i) demonstrate the importance of allosteric interactions in regulating mutation rates, (ii) establish that mutational spectra can be both sequence and strain-dependent, and (iii) display the profound phenotypic consequences associated with altered replication complex function of flaviviruses.

Multiple pathways to the attenuation of West Nile virus in south-east Texas in 2003.

Project description:West Nile virus (WNV) was first detected in Texas in 2002. During 2003, several isolates exhibiting significant attenuation of mouse neuroinvasiveness, and in some cases a small plaque and temperature sensitive phenotype when compared to other North American WNV isolates, were obtained from birds and mosquitoes in South-East Texas. To determine the attenuation markers of WNV, we have sequenced the genomes of three attenuated isolates and four temporally related virulent isolates and compared the amino acid substitutions in a total of 101 isolates, including three previously published genomes of attenuated strains, to identify mutations that are potentially involved in attenuation. Surprisingly, the attenuated strains fall into three separate "groups", suggesting that the attenuated phenotype evolved on three separate occasions in 2003. None of the groups share the same nucleotide changes or amino acid substitutions, and there are few mutations that can be clearly defined alone as being associated with attenuation.
