Analysis of simian hemorrhagic fever virus (SHFV) subgenomic RNAs, junction sequences, and 5' leader
Abstract
Full-length simian hemorrhagic fever virus (SHFV) genome RNA (about 15 kb in length) and six subgenomic RNAs, ranging in size from 0.65 to 4.7 kb, were detected by Northern blot hybridization in MA104 cytoplasmic extracts with a 3' genomic antisense probe. The 5' regions of the two smallest subgenomic RNAs (RNAs 6 and 7) were cloned and sequenced. Sequence analysis indicated that these two RNAs contained a common 5' leader sequence joined to the subgenomic RNA bodies via a highly conserved junction sequence; the junction sequence of RNA 7 was 5'-TTAACC-3', while that of RNA 6 was 5'-TCAACC-3'. The complete 5' leader sequence (208 nt) was obtained from genomic RNA. The genomic 5' junction sequence is identical to that of RNA 7. Northern blot hybridization with an antisense 5' leader probe confirmed the presence of the complete leader sequence in all six species of subgenomic RNA. In its virion morphology, genome size, gene order, and replication strategy, SHFV is most similar to viruses such as equine arteritis virus, lactate dehydrogenase-elevating virus, and Lelystad virus/porcine respiratory and reproductive syndrome virus.
