Unusual nucleotide content of Rubella virus genome as a consequence of biased RNA-editing: comparison with Alphaviruses
نویسندگان
چکیده
The usage of cytosine in third codon positions of 22 complete Rubella virus genomes (52.4%) is significantly higher than the usage of guanine (28.9%), adenine (6.9%) and uracil (11.8%). The percentage of U ↔ C transitions (55%) between 22 Rubella virus genomes is two times higher than the percentage of A ↔ G transitions (23%). Predicted microRNA from ORF1 of Rubella virus may target human APOBEC1 mRNA, blocking APOBEC1-editing of viral RNA-minus and RNA-plus strands (preventing G → A and C → U transitions, respectively), while their ADAR-editing (causing U → C and A → G transitions, respectively) occurs frequently.

Abstract : Foot and Mouth Disease is one of the important live stocks contagious viral disease caused by Aphtovirus genus , that is belong to family RNA virus picornaviride. The important characteristic of FMD virus is high mutation that give rise to diversity of Antigen in surface of Neutralizing proteins. For this reason FMD virus have 7 distinct serotype and many subtype. Vaccination is o...
متن کاملThe unusual nucleotide content of the HIV RNA genome results in a biased amino acid composition of HIV proteins.
Extremely high frequencies of the A nucleotide are found in the RNA genomes of the lentivirus group of retroviruses. It is presently unknown what molecular force is responsible for this A-pressure. In this manuscript, we demonstrate a correlation between this 'A-pressure' and the amino acid-usage of the lentivirus family. We compared the amino acid composition of the Gag and Pol proteins of the...
متن کاملEvaluation of Cell Mediated Immunity following Rubella Vaccination Using Lymphocyte Proliferation
Background and Aims: Rubella is predominantly a childhood disease that is endemic throughout the world and when rubella outbreaks occur, they are accompanied by birth defects following congenital rubella syndrome. Immunity to rubella virus as a teratogenic agent has an important role for prevention of these serious congenital defects. Lymphocyte proliferation assay is a way for investigation of...

Introduction & Objective: Rubella is a disease caused by the rubella virus and is usually mild and self-limiting. Infection of a developing fetus is serious and important because the child may be born with congenital rubella syndrome. Its symptoms include mental retardation, heart defects, cataract, etc. In 2003, mass vaccination against measles and rubella in individuals 5-25 years old was d...
متن کاملEvolution of hepatitis delta virus RNA genome following long-term replication in cell culture.
Previous studies have defined a novel cell culture system in which a modified RNA genome of hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is able to maintain a low level of continuous replication for at least 1 year, using a separate and limited DNA-directed source of mRNA for the essential small delta protein. This mode of replication is analogous to that used by plant viroids. An examination was made of the nu...
