Effect of a valine residue at codon 352 of the VP2 capsid protein on in vivo replication and pathogenesis of Aleutian disease parvovirus in mink

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether a group of 3 genetic differences in the nonstructural protein (NS1) or 1 genetic difference in the structural protein (VP2) of Aleutian disease parvovirus (ADV) is responsible for an increase in the in vivo replication and pathogenicity of G/U-8, a chimera of ADV-G (nonpathogenic) and ADV-Utah (pathogenic), compared with G/U-10. ANIMALS: 32 eight-month-old female sapphire mink (Mustela vison). PROCEDURE: Chimeric viruses were constructed, propagated in vitro, and used to inoculate mink. Antiviral antibody responses, presence of serum viral nucleic acid, and serum gamma globulin concentrations were monitored for 120 days following inoculation. Histologic examination of the liver, kidneys, spleen, and mesenteric lymph nodes was performed after necropsy. RESULTS: A chimera containing only the 3 amino acid substitutions in NS1 did not elicit measurable responses indicative of replication or pathogenicity in inoculated mink. Serum antiviral antibody responses, frequency of detection of viral nucleic acid in serum, gamma globulin response, and histologic changes in mink inoculated with chimeras containing a valine residue at codon 352 (352V) of VP2 capsid were increased, compared with values from mink inoculated with chimeric viruses that did not contain 352V. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: A valine residue at codon 352 in the VP2 capsid protein of ADV affects in vivo viral replication and pathogenicity. This amino acid may be part of an incompletely defined pathogenic determinant of ADV. Further characterization of the pathogenic determinant may allow future development of focused preventive and therapeutic interventions for Aleutian disease of mink.

为了比较VP2和NS1两种蛋白的免疫原性,选择免疫原性较好的蛋白进行亚单位疫苗制备。本试验分别扩增了水貂细小病毒(mink enteritis virus,MEV)NS1与VP2基因,连接pET-32a表达载体并进行表达,对表达产物进行SDS-PAGE及Western blotting分析。以His-Bind亲和层析柱纯化目的蛋白,将纯化后的蛋白免疫小鼠,分析目的蛋白的免疫原性。经SDS-PAGE与Western blotting鉴定,表明NS1与VP2蛋白大小分别为83 和67 ku,且均具有生物学活性;免疫小鼠后,目的蛋白NS1和VP2均可诱导小鼠产生抗MEV特异性抗体,且VP2蛋白诱导小鼠产生的抗体滴度要高于NS1蛋白。与NS1蛋白比较,VP2蛋白更适合亚单位疫苗的制备。     

Prokaryotic Expression and Immunogenicity Analysis of Mink Parvovirus NS1 and VP2 Protein

In order to develop subunit vaccine of mink enteritis virus,the immunogenicity of mink parvovirus protein NS1 and VP2 had been evaluated.Two pairs of primers were designed,and the full-length NS1 and VP2 genes had been amplificated,and then prokaryotic expression vector pET-32a-NS1,PET-32a-VP2 were constructed.After the analysis of SDS-PAGE and Western blotting,target proteins had been purified by His-Bind affinity chromatography.The immunogenicity of purified protein NS1 and VP2 were evaluated by serum ELISA testing,after inoculated BALB/c mouse.The results showed that the molecular mass of NS1 and VP2 protein were 83 and 67 ku by SDS-PAGF and Western blotting;Although both target protein NS1 and VP2 had the ability to induce BALB/c mouse to produce anti-MEV specific antibodies,the level of antibodies induced by the protein VP2 was higher than protein NS1.Mink parvovirus protein VP2 was more suitable for the development of subunit vaccine.     

African horse sickness virus structure

African horse sickness virus (AHSV), of which there are nine serotypes (AHSV-1, -2, etc.), is a member of Orbivirus genus within the Reoviridae family. Both in morphology and molecular constituents AHSV particles are comparable to those of bluetongue virus (BTV), the prototype virus of the genus. The two viruses have seven structural proteins (VP1–7) organized in two layered capsid. The outer capsid is composed of VP2 and VP5. The inner capsid, or core, is composed of two major proteins, VP3 and VP7, and three minor proteins, VP1, VP4 and VP6. Within the core is the virus genome. This genome consists of 10 double-stranded (ds)RNA segments of different sizes, three large, designated L1–L3, three medium, M4–M6, and four small, S7–S10. In addition to the seven stuctural proteins that are coded by seven of the RNA species, four non-structural proteins, NS1, NS2, NS3 and NS3A, are coded by three RNA segments, M5, S8 and S10. The two smallest proteins (NS3 and NS3A) are synthesized by the S10 RNA segment, probably from different in-frame translation initiation codons. Nucleotide sequences of eight RNA segments (L2, L3, M4, M5, M6, S7, S8 and S10) and the predicted amino acid sequences of the encoded gene products are also available, mainly representing one serotype, AHSV-4. In this review the properties of the AHSV genes and gene products are discussed. The sequence and hybridization analyses of the different AHSV dsRNA segments indicate that the segments that code for the core proteins, as well as those that code for NS1 and NS2 proteins, are highly conserved between the different virus serotypes. However, the RNA encoding NS3 and NS3A, and the two segments encoding the outer capsid proteins, are more variable between the AHSV serotypes. A close phylogenetic relationship between AHSV, BTV and epizootic haemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV), three Culicoides-transmitted orbiviruses, has been revealed when the equivalent sequences of genes and gene products are compared. Recently, the four major AHSV capsid proteins have been expressed using recombinant baculoviruses. Biochemically and antigenically these proteins are similar to the authentic proteins. Since the AHSV VP7 protein is highly conserved among the different serotypes, it has been utilized as a diagnostic reagent. The expressed VP7 protein has also been purified to homogeneity and crystallized for three-dimensional X-ray analysis. The expressed outer capsid proteins, VP2 and VP5, have been purified and used to raise antisera in rabbits. The VP2 antisera neutralize virus infections in vitro indicating the importance of this protein for vaccine development.     

Immune complexes in Aleutian disease: demonstration of antibody on isolated virus

The specific binding of Staphylococcal protein A for mammalian immunoglobulin G was used to demonstrate IgG associated with Aleutian disease virus (ADV) when isolated from infected mink tissues. Protein A specifically bound to mink serum Ig with no reaction with other serum or tissue proteins. Protein A labeled with 131Iodine reacted with crude virus preparations but not with virus that had been purified by freon extraction to the point where it became reactive with antibody by counterimmunoelectrophoresis. Binding to purified ADV was restored when the purified virus was first reacted with antibody. Results of urea treatment indicated this as an alternative method for isolation of ADV free from antibody.     

Virus-specific B-lymphocytes are probably the primary targets for Aleutian disease virus.

368 1- to 5-year-old mink of wild-type or black genetic background were infected with Aleutian disease virus (ADV) naturally or using virus-containing immune complexes or purified virus. Thirty of the mink were immunized with dinitrophenol-conjugated ovalbumin (DNP-OA) before and during infection. Blood samples were taken at monthly intervals. We found that weak (and transient) monoclonal or oligoclonal immunoglobulin components were present in the plasma or serum approximately 1 month after infection, as judged by zone electrophoresis. In a few cases, we found quite stable myeloma-like hypergammaglobulinemia, which usually occurs much later in the infection. All sera with monoclonal immunoglobulin components and most of the sera with immunoglobulins of restricted heterogeneity were analysed by crossed serum line immunoelectrophoresis. In all cases, the distinct immunoglobulins were found to have antibody activity to ADV proteins. In the few sera from DNP-OA-immunized mink showing restricted immunoglobulin heterogeneity, this was also the case. The findings from the study imply that ADV-specific B lymphocytes are probably the primary targets for ADV. The resulting ADV replication introduces a "pseudo-transformation" stage, so that the infected B lymphocytes proliferate and differentiate to an extreme degree. The mechanism behind this B-cell pseudotransformation ability of ADV is a puzzle. It may, however, be important, that the p75/85 structural polypeptides of ADV contain an amino acid sequence almost identical to the GTP-binding pocket of the Ras oncogene.
