18K immediate early protein |
Virulence factor |
By successive rounds of selection for puromycin resistance and GFP expression, we have successfully constructed three recombinant viruses. In one, a "knock-in" mutant was created by inserting the Puro-EGFP cassette into a noncoding region of the FV3 genome (FV3-Puro/GFP). In the remaining two, KO mutants were constructed by replacement of the truncated viral homolog of eIF-2α (FV3-ΔvIF-2α) or the 18K IE gene (FV3-Δ18K) with the Puro-EGFP cassette Viral replication of each recombinant in cell culture was similar to that of parental FV3; however, infection in Xenopus laevis tadpoles revealed that FV3-ΔvIF-2α and FV3-Δ18K replicated less and resulted in lower mortality than did GFP-FV3 and wild-type FV3. Our results suggest that 18K, which is conserved in all ranaviruses, and the truncated vIF-2α gene contribute to virulence. [Ref7528:Chen et al., 2011] |
