口蹄疫病毒前导蛋白酶的研究进展

前导蛋白酶(leader protease,Lpro)是FMDV基因组编码具有酶学活性的病毒产物之一。其可被2个串联的翻译起始密码子进行翻译表达,且以第2个翻译起始密码子进行翻译起始的产物居多。Lpro含有球状区域,碳端有一柔性杆状结构,其执行蛋白酶生物学功能的活性集团的氨基酸序列可能是第144位的Lys、148位的His和163位的Asp。保守区氨基酸残基在维持蛋白的空间结构和功能方面具有重要作用。此种蛋白酶的C端编码序列区中的同义密码子使用模式在病毒蛋白的翻译过程具有重要的生物学意义。Lpro能够剪切病毒编码的多聚蛋白,且使能宿主细胞中特定的蛋白质降解,是FMDV的重要毒力因子。Lpro通过抑制干扰素(IFN)的分泌降低免疫监视系统对FMDV的监视能力,从而逃避感染动物对FMDV侵染的抵抗力。

Sequence variability in the structural protein-encoding region of foot-and-mouth disease virus serotype Asia1 field isolates

A total of 30 field isolates of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) serotype Asia1 belonging to two different lineages and five isolates belonging to a divergent group as delineated earlier in 1D (encodingVP1 protein) gene-based phylogeny were sequenced in the structural protein (P1) coding region. Phylogenetic comparison of these isolates along with some of the published exotic sequences revealed the presence of five different lineages around the world. Similar grouping pattern was observed for the P1 region and 1D gene-based phylogeny, where the Indian isolates were clustered in two genetic lineages. The recently identified divergent group of virus falls into a separate sub-cluster. Similar grouping was also observed in L gene-based phylogeny. Comparison of amino acid sequences identified lineage-specific signature residues in all the structural proteins. Comparison of Asia1 field isolates at the identified key residues of other FMD viruses involved in the formation of the heparan sulfate-binding ligand confirmed many of them to be conserved and the presence of VP3(56) Arg suggested their cell culture adaptation. Although a considerable genetic variation was observed among the isolates of present study, all of them tested in micro-neutralization test were serologically related to the vaccine strain.     

Antigenic characterization of foot-and-mouth disease virus serotype Asia1 field isolates using polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies

Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) serotype Asia1 field isolates (n = 100) were compared using a panel of 11 monoclonal antibodies (Mab) in sandwich ELISA. The majority (over 89%) of the isolates showed either homologous (76% and above reactivity) or reduced affinity (20-75% reactivity) for the Mabs 2A, 13, 40, 34 and 81, suggesting that these Mab binding epitopes are conserved, whereas a more variable reactivity was observed for the Mabs B3, 1A, 24, 72, 82 and 89. Polyclonal relationship ('r' value) of the field isolates in liquid phase blocking (LPB) ELISA was examined, and the mean 'r' value was 0.62 relative to vaccine virus IND 63/72. Some of the field isolates (n = 34) were tested in virus neutralization test (VNT) and showed an 'r' value of >0.40. Although a minor antigenic difference was observed in the Mab profiling study, there has not been large antigenic divergence between reference virus and field viruses, thereby providing evidence of wide antigenic coverage of the vaccine strain.     

Screening and identification of B cell epitopes of structural proteins of foot-and-mouth disease virus serotype Asia1

The objective of this study was to screen and identify the B cell epitopes of structural proteins of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) serotype Asia1. The complete amino acid sequence of all the four structural proteins (P1 region) was analyzed using the DNAStar Protean system. Seventeen peptides were predicted and selected as potential B cell epitopes. The potential B cell epitope genes were cloned into the pGEX-6P-1 plasmid, then expressed and purified. The resulting 17 glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion peptides were detected by Western blot and ELISA for evaluation of their antigenicity. Six of the 17 fusion peptides were identified successfully by sera from rabbits immunized with the purified P1 polyprotein of FMDV type Asia1. The six fusion proteins were epi1-1 (VP1:₁TTTTGESADPVT₁₂), epi1-2 (VP1:₁₇NYGGETQTARRLH₂₉), epi1-6 (VP1:₁₉₄TTQDRRKQEIIAPEKQTL₂₁₁), epi2-2 (VP2:₄₀EDAVSGPNTSG₅₀), epi3-1 (VP3:₂₆YGKVSNPPRTSFPG₃₉), and epi4-2 (VP4:₃₀YQNSMDTQLGDN₄₁). The results of this study lay a foundation for further study of the structure and function of the structural proteins and may aid in the design of an epitope vaccine against foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) type Asia1. This study has also shown that the bioinformatics method, in combination with molecular biology methods can be used to map the B cell epitopes on viral proteins.     

Kinetics of immune response to foot-and-mouth disease virus (type Asia 1) in experimental cattle

Humoral and mucosal (secretory antibody)immune response to FMDV type Asia 1 in cattle was analyzed after vaccination and infection using virus neutralizing test (VNT). Vaccination (1/16th the usual dose) failed to protect cattle from generalized clinical disease following experimental FMDV Asia 1 infection. Our results showed that infection induced higher and prolonged serum antibody titres indicating antigen mass is important for optimal immune response. Experimental FMDV infection induced significant secretory antibody (mucosal) response in cattle. Though, there was no difference in the serum antibody response between the cattle that developed generalized infection (unprotected) and those with only localized infection (protected), secretory antibody response differed, wherein the unprotected cattle had higher secretory response than protected cattle. Thus, FMDV Asia 1 infection stimulates a similar serum antibody response and a unique secretory antibody response among the infected cattle. An erratum to this article can be found at     

表达A型口蹄疫病毒衣壳蛋白重组腺病毒的构建

A peptide of foot-and-mouth disease virus serotype Asia1 generating a neutralizing antibody response, and an immunostimulatory peptide

The epitopes of the capsid of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) play important roles in the construction of highly immunogenic subunit vaccines. However few epitopes have been found for FMDV serotype Asia1. In this study we screened for epitopes of the VP1 and VP2 proteins of FMDV serotype Asia1 isolate, YNBS/58. Fragments consisting of amino acids 133-163 of VP1 and amino acids 1-33 of VP2 contained epitopes, and both induced lymphoproliferation in guinea pigs. Only the VP1 fragment induced neutralizing antibodies but the VP2 peptide dramatically increased the neutralizing antibody response induced by the VP1 peptide.
