In a previous study, we used high-throughput yeast two-hybrid (HT-Y2H) to identify proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana that bind to the proteins encoded by the turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) genome. Furthermore, after experimental evolution of TuMV lineages in plants with mutations in defense-related or proviral genes, most mutations observed in the evolved viruses affected the VPg cistron. Among these mutations, D113G was a convergent mutation selected in many lineages across different plant genotypes, including cpr5-2 with constitutive expression of systemic acquired resistance. In contrast, mutation R118H specifically emerged in the jin1 mutant with affected jasmonate signaling. Using the HT-Y2H system, we analyzed the impact of these two mutations on VPg’s interaction with plant proteins. Interestingly, both mutations severely compromised the interaction of VPg with the translation initiation factor eIF(iso)4E, a crucial interactor for potyvirus infection. Moreover, mutation D113G, but not R118H, adversely affected the interaction with RHD1, a zinc-finger homeodomain transcription factor involved in regulating DNA demethylation. Our results suggest that RHD1 enhances plant tolerance to TuMV infection. We also discuss our findings in a broad virus evolution context.","PeriodicalId":56026,"journal":{"name":"Virus Evolution","volume":"61 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141718825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our study examines how varroa affects the continuing evolution of DWV, using the Azores archipelago, where varroa is only present on only three out of the eight islands, as a natural experimental system for comparing different evolutionary conditions and trajectories. We combined qPCR of 494 honey bee colonies sampled across the archipelago with amplicon deep sequencing to reveal how the DWV genetic landscape is altered by varroa. Two of the varroa-free islands were also free of DWV, while a further two islands were intriguingly dominated by the rare DWV-C major variant. The other four islands, including the three varroa-infested islands, were dominated by the common DWV-A and DWV-B variants. The varroa-infested islands had, as expected, an elevated DWV prevalence relative to the uninfested islands, but not elevated DWV loads, due the relatively high prevalence and loads of DWV-C on the varroa-free islands. This establishes the Azores as a stable refuge for DWV-C and provides the most convincing evidence to date that at least some major strains of DWV may be capable of not just surviving, but actually thriving in honey bees in the absence of varroa-mediated transmission. We did not detect any change in DWV genetic diversity associated with island varroa status but did find a positive association of DWV diversity with virus load, irrespective of island varroa status.","PeriodicalId":56026,"journal":{"name":"Virus Evolution","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141718826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gain-of-function experiments have revealed that host-range expansions can occur through relatively few mutations in viral receptor-binding proteins, and the search for molecular mechanisms that explain such expansions are underway. Previous research on expansions of receptor use in bacteriophage λ has shown that mutations that destabilize λ’s receptor-binding protein cause it to fold into new conformations that can utilize novel receptors but have weakened thermostability. These observations led us to hypothesize that other viruses may take similar paths to expand their host range. Here, we find support for our hypothesis by studying another virus, bacteriophage 21 (Φ21), which evolves to use two new host receptors within two weeks of laboratory evolution. By measuring the thermodynamic stability of Φ21 and its descendants, we show that as Φ21 evolves to use new receptors and expands its host range, it becomes less stable and produces viral particles that are genetically identical but vary in their thermostabilities. Next, we show that this non-genetic heterogeneity between particles is directly associated with receptor use innovation, as phage particles with more derived receptor-use capabilities are more unstable and decay faster. Lastly, by manipulating the expression of protein chaperones during Φ21 infection, we demonstrate that heterogeneity in receptor use of phage particles arises during protein folding. Altogether, our results provide support for the hypothesis that viruses can evolve new receptor-use tropisms through mutations that destabilize the receptor-binding protein and produce multiple protein conformers.","PeriodicalId":56026,"journal":{"name":"Virus Evolution","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141609691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To understand the diversity and evolutionary histories of viruses in these polar species we determined the viromes of gill metatranscriptomes from 11 Antarctic fish species with 248 samples collected from the Ross Sea region spanning the Perciformes, Gadiformes, and Scorpaeniformes orders. The continent’s shift southward and cooling temperatures over 20 million years ago led to a reduction in biodiversity and subsequent radiation of some marine fauna, such as the notothenioid fishes. Despite decreased host species richness in polar regions, we revealed a surprisingly complex virome diversity in Ross Sea fish, with the types and numbers of viruses per host species and individuals sampled comparable to that of fish in warmer marine environments with higher host community diversity. We also observed a higher number of closely related viruses likely representing instances of recent and historic host-switching events among the Perciformes (all notothenioids) than in the Gadiformes, suggesting that rapid speciation events within this order generated closely related host species with few genetic barriers to cross-species transmission. Additionally, we identified novel genomic variation in an arenavirus with a split nucleoprotein sequence containing a stable helical structure, indicating potential adaptation of viral proteins to extreme temperatures. These findings enhance our understanding of virus evolution and virus-host interactions in response to environmental shifts, especially in less diverse ecosystems more vulnerable to the impacts of anthropogenic and climate changes.

A case in point was the emergence of G8 bovine RVA consisting of the P[8] VP4 <i>gene</i> and the DS-1-like backbone <i>genes</i> that appeared to have jumped into humans recently. However, it was not well documented what evolutionary changes occurred on the animal RVA-derived <i>genes</i> during circulation in humans. Rotavirus surveillance in Vietnam found that DS-1-like G8P[8] strains emerged in 2014, circulated in two prevalent waves, and disappeared in 2021. This surveillance provided us with a unique opportunity to investigate the whole process of evolutionary changes, which occurred in an animal RVA that had jumped the host species barrier. Of the 843 G8P[8] samples collected from children with acute diarrhoea in Vietnam between 2014 and 2021, fifty-eight strains were selected based on their distinctive electropherotypes of the genomic RNA identified using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Whole-genome sequence analysis of those fifty-eight strains showed that the strains dominant during the first wave of prevalence (2014-17) carried animal RVA-derived VP1, NSP2, and NSP4 <i>genes</i>. However, the strains from the second wave of prevalence (2018-21) lost these <i>genes</i>, which were replaced with cognate human RVA-derived <i>genes</i>, thus creating strain with G8P[8] on a fully DS-1-like human RVA <i>gene</i> backbone. The G8 VP7 and P[8] VP4 <i>gene</i>s underwent some point mutations but the phylogenetic lineages to which they belonged remained unchanged. We, therefore, propose a hypothesis regarding the tendency for the animal RVA-derived <i>genes</i> to be expelled from the backbone <i>genes</i> of the progeny strains after crossing the host species barrier. This study underlines the importance of long-term surveillance of circulating wild-type strains in order to better understand the adaptation process and the fate of newly emerging, animal-derived RVA among the human population.

However, most comparative genomic studies of MDV rely on previously published consensus genomes despite the confirmed existence of MDV strains as mixed viral populations. To assess the reliability of interstrain genomic comparisons relying on published consensus genomes of MDV, we obtained two additional consensus genomes of vaccine strain CVI988 (Rispens) and two additional consensus genomes of the very virulent strain Md5 by sequencing viral stocks and cultured field isolates. In conjunction with the published genomes of CVI988 and Md5, this allowed us to perform 3-way comparisons between multiple consensus genomes of the same strain. We found that consensus genomes of CVI988 can vary in as many as 236 positions involving 13 open reading frames (ORFs). In contrast, we found that Md5 genomes varied only in 11 positions involving a single ORF. Notably, we were able to identify 3 SNPs in the Unique Long region and 16 SNPs in the Unique Short (US) region of CVI988GenBank.BAC that were not present in either CVI988Pirbright.lab or CVI988USDA.PA.field. Recombination analyses of field strains previously described as natural recombinants of CVI988 yielded no evidence of crossover events in the US region when either CVI988Pirbright.lab or CVI988USDA.PA.field were used to represent CVI988 instead of CVI988GenBank.BAC. We were also able to confirm that both CVI988 and Md5 populations were mixed, exhibiting a total of 29 and 27 high-confidence minor variant positions, respectively. However, we did not find any evidence of minor variants in the positions corresponding to the 19 SNPs in the unique regions of CVI988GenBank.BAC. Taken together, our findings suggest that continued reliance on the same published consensus genome of CVI988 may have led to an overestimation of genomic divergence between CVI988 and virulent strains, and that multiple consensus genomes per strain may be necessary to ensure the accuracy of interstrain genomic comparisons.","PeriodicalId":56026,"journal":{"name":"Virus Evolution","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141509282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerous studies have demonstrated that the degree to which the receptor-binding avidity of HA and receptor-cleaving activity of NA are balanced with each other influences overall viral fitness. We recently showed that changes in NA activity can significantly alter the mutational fitness landscape of HA in the context of a lab-adapted virus strain. Here, we test whether natural variation in relative NA activity can influence the evolutionary potential of HA in the context of the seasonal H1N1 lineage (pdmH1N1) that has circulated in humans since the 2009 pandemic. We observed substantial variation in the relative activities of NA proteins encoded by a panel of H1N1 vaccine strains isolated between 2009 and 2019. We comprehensively assessed the effect of NA background on the HA mutational fitness landscape in the circulating pdmH1N1 lineage using deep mutational scanning and observed pronounced epistasis between NA and residues in or near the receptor-binding site of HA. To determine whether NA variation could influence the antigenic evolution of HA, we performed neutralizing antibody selection experiments using a panel of monoclonal antibodies targeting different HA epitopes. We found that the specific antibody escape profiles of HA were highly contingent upon NA background.

One of the contributing factors to the high annual incidence of human influenza is the virus’s ability to evade acquired immunity through continual antigenic evolution. Understanding the evolutionary forces that act within and between hosts is therefore critical to interpreting past trends in influenza virus evolution and in predicting future ones. Several studies have analyzed longitudinal patterns of influenza A virus genetic diversity in natural human infections to assess the relative contributions of selection and genetic drift on within-host evolution. However, in these natural infections, within-host viral populations harbor very few single nucleotide variants, limiting our resolution in understanding the forces acting on these populations in vivo. Further, low levels of within host viral genetic diversity limit the ability to infer the extent of drift across transmission events. Here, we propose to use influenza virus genomic diversity as an alternative signal to better understand within and between host patterns of viral evolution. Specifically, we focus on the dynamics of defective viral genomes (DVGs) which harbor large internal deletions in one or more of influenza virus’s eight gene segments. Our longitudinal analyses of DVGs show that influenza A virus populations are highly dynamic within hosts, corroborating previous findings based on viral genetic diversity that point towards the importance of genetic drift in driving within-host viral evolution. Further, our analysis of DVG populations across transmission pairs indicate that DVGs rarely appeared to be shared, consistent with previous findings indicating the presence of tight transmission bottlenecks. Our analyses demonstrate that viral genomic diversity can be used to complement analyses based on viral genetic diversity to reveal processes that drive viral evolution within and between hosts.","PeriodicalId":56026,"journal":{"name":"Virus Evolution","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141191273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
