Flexibility of bunyavirus genomes: creation of an orthobunyavirus with an ambisense S segment.
UNLABELLED The Bunyamwera (BUNV) orthobunyavirus NSs protein has proven a challenge to study in the context of viral infection. NSs is encoded in a reading frame that overlaps that of the viral nucleocapsid (N) protein thus limiting options for mutagenesis. In addition, NSs is poorly immunogenic, and antibodies only work in certain techniques while the protein itself is subject to proteasomal d...
متن کاملThe nucleotide sequence of the M RNA segment of tomato spotted wilt virus, a bunyavirus with two ambisense RNA segments.
The complete sequence of the tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) M RNA segment has been determined. The RNA is 4821 nucleotides long and has an ambisense coding strategy similar to that of the S RNA segment. The M RNA segment contains two open reading frames (ORFs), one in the viral sense which encodes a protein with a predicted size of 33.6K, and one in the viral complementary sense which encodes...
متن کاملGeneration of a Recombinant Akabane Virus Expressing Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein.
UNLABELLED We generated a recombinant Akabane virus (AKAV) expressing enhanced green fluorescence protein (eGFP-AKAV) by using reverse genetics. We artificially constructed an ambisense AKAV S genome encoding N/NSs on the negative-sense strand, and eGFP on the positive-sense strand with an intergenic region (IGR) derived from the Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) S genome. The recombinant virus ex...
متن کاملThe Bunyamwera virus mRNA transcription signal resides within both the 3' and the 5' terminal regions and allows ambisense transcription from a model RNA segment.
Bunyamwera virus (BUNV) is the prototype of the Bunyaviridae family of RNA viruses. BUNV genomic strands are templates for both replication and transcription, whereas the antigenomic RNAs serve only as templates for replication. By mutagenesis of model templates, we showed that the BUNV transcription promoter comprises elements within both the 3' and the 5' nontranslated regions. Using this inf...
متن کاملSequence determination and phylogenetic analysis of the Akabane bunyavirus S RNA genome segment.
The nucleotide sequence of the small (S) RNA segment of Akabane (AKA) bunyavirus was determined. The segment is 858 nucleotides long and contains two overlapping open reading frames (ORFs), which encode the nucleocapsid (N) and nonstructural (NSs) proteins, consistent with other bunyaviruses. Comparisons with the Aino virus S RNA sequence indicated that there is 73.5% identity in nucleotide seq...
