Molecular characterization of the glycoprotein and fusion protein in human respiratory syncytial virus subgroup A: Emergence of ON-1 genotype in Iran. INFECTION GENETICS AND EVOLUTION 2019; 71:166-178. [PMID: 30946992 DOI: 10.1016/j.meegid.2019.03.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2018] [Revised: 03/05/2019] [Accepted: 03/29/2019] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
HRSV is a principle cause of infant hospitalization, childhood wheezing and a common pathogen in the elderly. Limited information exists regarding HRSV genotypes in Iran. In order to better understand HRSV strain diversity, we performed an in-depth evaluation of the genetic variability of the HRSV F protein detected in children under two years of age that, presented with acute respiratory symptoms during 2015-2016 in Tehran. A total of 180 nasopharyngeal swabs were evaluated. The HRSV positive samples were genotyped for G and F gene sequences using RT-PCR and sequencing methods. Phylogenetic analysis was performed using the neighbor-joining and maximum likelihood methods. Genetic and antigenic characteristics of the F gene, nucleotide and amino acids in significant positions and immune system binding regions, as well as the p-distance, positive/negative selection site, linear epitopes and glycosylation sites were investigated in all selected sequences. Among the 83 HRSV positive samples, the Fifty-five cases were successfully sequenced. All of them were classified as subgroup A and belonged to the ON-1 genotype, which possessed 72-nt duplication in the G gene. This study is the first report on the emergence of ON-1 in Iran. ON-1 Iranian sequences clustered in three lineages according to virus fusion (F) gene variations. F gene sequence analysis showed that all genetic changes in the isolates from Iran were base substitutions and no deletion/insertions were identified. The low dN/dS ratio and lack of positively selected sites showed that the fusion genes found in the strains from Iran are not under host selective pressure. Continuing and long-term molecular epidemiological surveys for early detection of circulating and newly emerging genotypes are necessary to gain a better understanding of their epidemic potential.

Detection of respiratory syncytial virus fusion protein variants between 2009 and 2012 in China. Arch Virol 2013; 159:1089-98.

Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes respiratory tract infection, particularly acute lower respiratory tract infection (ALRTI), in early childhood. The RSV fusion protein (F protein) is an important surface protein, and it is the target of both cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and neutralizing antibodies; thus, it may be useful as a candidate for vaccine research. This study investigated the genetic diversity of the RSV F protein. To this end, a total of 1800 nasopharyngeal aspirates from hospitalized children with ALRTI were collected for virus isolation between June 2009 and March 2012. There were 333 RSV-positive cases (277 cases of RSV A, 55 of RSV B, and 1 with both RSV A and RSV B), accounting for 18.5 % of the total cases. Next, 130 clinical strains (107 of RSV A, 23 of RSV B) were selected for F gene sequencing. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the F gene sequence is highly conserved, with significant amino acid changes at residues 16, 25, 45, 102, 122, 124, 209, and 447. Mutations in human histocompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA)-restricted CTL epitopes were also observed. Variations in RSV A F protein at the palivizumab binding site 276 (N→S) increased between 2009 and 2012 and became predominant. Western blot analysis and microneutralization data showed a substitution at residue 276 (N→S) in RSV A that did not cause resistance to palivizumab. In conclusion, the RSV F gene is geographically and temporally conserved, but limited genetic variations were still observed. These data could be helpful for the development of vaccines against RSV infection.

Molecular epidemiology and phylodynamics of the human respiratory syncytial virus fusion protein in northern Taiwan. PLoS One 2013; 8:e64012.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The glycoprotein (G protein) and fusion protein (F protein) of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) both show genetic variability, but few studies have examined the F protein gene. This study aimed to characterize the molecular epidemiology and phylodynamics of the F protein gene in clinical RSV strains isolated in northern Taiwan from 2000-2011. METHODS RSV isolates from children presenting with acute respiratory symptoms between July 2000 and June 2011 were typed based on F protein gene sequences. Phylogeny construction and evaluation were performed using the neighbor-joining (NJ) and maximum likelihood (ML) methods. Phylodynamic patterns in RSV F protein genes were analyzed using the Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo framework. Selection pressure on the F protein gene was detected using the Datamonkey website interface. RESULTS From a total of 325 clinical RSV strains studied, phylogenetic analysis showed that 83 subgroup A strains (RSV-A) could be further divided into three clusters, whereas 58 subgroup B strains (RSV-B) had no significant clustering. Three amino acids were observed to differ between RSV-A and -B (positions 111, 113, and 114) in CTL HLA-B*57- and HLA-A*01-restricted epitopes. One positive selection site was observed in RSV-B, while none was observed in RSV-A. The evolution rate of the virus had very little change before 2000, then slowed down between 2000 and 2005, and evolved significantly faster after 2005. The dominant subtypes of RSV-A in each epidemic were replaced by different subtypes in the subsequent epidemic. CONCLUSIONS Before 2004, RSV-A infections were involved in several small epidemics and only very limited numbers of strains evolved and re-emerged in subsequent years. After 2005, the circulating RSV-A strains were different from those of the previous years and continued evolving through 2010. Phylodynamic pattern showed the evolutionary divergence of RSV increased significantly in the recent 5 years in northern Taiwan.

Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of childhood hospitalization and respiratory distress and has been recognized for several decades as a major health and economic burden worldwide. This virus has developed several virulence mechanisms to impair the establishment of a protective immune response to re-infection. Accordingly, inefficient immunological memory is usually generated after exposure to this pathogen. Furthermore, it has been shown that RSV can actively promote the induction of an inadequate cellular immune response at the site of infection that causes exacerbated inflammation in the respiratory tract. Such an inflammatory response is both inefficient for clearing the virus and can be responsible for detrimental symptoms, such as asthma and wheezing. Recent data suggest that RSV possesses molecular mechanisms to induce the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines that modulate the immune response and impair viral clearance by reducing IFN-γ production. Here, we discuss recent research leading to the identification of RSV virulence factors that are responsible of promoting a pro-inflammatory environment at the airways and their implications on pathogenicity.

Abstract
Although antigenic and genetic variations were shown to occur both in the G and F protein of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), few studies looked at the variation of F gene. The F genotypes were determined by the evaluation of clustering patterns, via the phylogenetic analysis of the nucleotide sequences of a variable region in the F gene. One hundred seventy-nine strains obtained from a children's hospital in Korea over nine consecutive epidemics were included. The relationship between the F and G genotypes was analyzed with the G genotypes previously published by the authors. The phylogenetic analysis of the variable region from the F gene revealed 9 genotypes among 129 group A RSVs and 4 genotypes among 50 group B RSVs. In each of the epidemics, the dominant genotypes were replaced with new genotypes in consecutive epidemics. In each of the epidemics of group B RSVs, the predominant genotype alternated between genotypes. Most of the strains which clustered to a particular F genotype were assigned to particular G genotype(s). By determining the nearly entire sequences of the F genes, we revealed the percentage of the nucleotide differences which resulted in amino acid coding changes was determined to be much great in two distinct variable regions of the F gene. Our results indicated that the F gene of the RSVs may be continuously evolving under selective pressure in a distinct pattern, and that the genetic variability of the F protein is associated with that of the G protein.

Abstract
Subgroup A respiratory syncytial viruses present in respiratory secretions and low passage level cell culture isolates were found to be markedly less susceptible to neutralization with monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to the F glycoprotein than the cell culture adapted A2 virus strain. Low passage virus isolates collected over a 20 year period and belonging to several sub-group A lineages were refractory to neutralization with antibodies recognizing two major neutralizing antigenic sites located sub-terminally at opposite ends of the F(1) glycoprotein sub-unit. On further passage in cell culture, virus isolates exhibited both increased infectivity titers and increased susceptibility to neutralization by antibodies to both antigenic sites. The consensus nucleotide sequence of the membrane associated proteins M and of the SH, G and F glycoprotein genes, and their intergenic regions were compared for neutralization resistant and susceptible stocks of one virus strain, R17532. No changes were observed in the known monoclonal antibody epitopes on the F glycoprotein. In line with this, the increase in susceptibility was not found to be associated with any increased binding of monoclonal antibody to isolated F glycoprotein in a BIAcore assay, thus excluding the possibility that passage in cell culture selected for viruses with mutations in the antibody binding sites. M and SH genes were conserved but a number of sites in the G and F glycoprotein genes were found to vary on adaptation to cell culture suggesting that change in susceptibility to neutralization was associated with a change in the prevalent quasispecies present in the virus population. The genetic basis of phenotypic change in susceptibility remains to be determined.

Abstract
Recent evidence of positive selection within the cytotoxic T-cell (CTL) epitopes of the highly conserved nucleoprotein of influenza virus raised the question of whether the CTL epitopes of Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are also affected by immune driven change over annual epidemics. The fusion protein (F-protein) of RSV is highly conserved within the two subtypes (A and B) and the most important target for the protective response. The position of various neutralizing epitopes has been mapped and characterized between RSV subtypes. CTL epitopes have also recently been mapped for the F-protein of subtype A, however variation within these epitopes between and within the subtypes has not been determined. To address this question, the F-proteins of 18 strains representative of all subgroup A and B genotypes identified in South Africa over a period of 5 years were sequenced. F-protein sequences were highly conserved within and between South African genotypes, with most variability occurring at the nucleotide level. Most of the amino acid differences identified within neutralizing and CTL epitopes were conserved within the subtypes, and therefore does not indicate immune selection. However, out of three CTL epitopes previously identified in subtype A, two (restricted to HLA B*57 and HLA A *01) were conserved only within subtype A, while the third (restricted to Cw*12) contained both subtype- and genotype-specific changes. These results suggest that most of the identified CTL epitopes are subtype A-specific and may not be recognized in subtype B viruses, while the HLA Cw*12 restricted epitope may also not be recognized efficiently in GA5 strains.

Abstract
Infection and reinfection of infants with human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) occur despite the presence of serum anti-viral glycoprotein antibodies similar to those, which afford protection in animal models of infection. Antigenic variation of the viral glycoproteins between different genotypes of the virus which co-circulate in the population may contribute to the ability of the virus to escape from antibody-mediated protection. In this study, we have investigated whether human infants infected with HRSV produced antibody responses recognising the antigenic differences between different contemporary genotypes of virus. Acute and convalescent sera from 26 infants were analysed for antibody responses to the glycoproteins of the virus isolated from their respiratory tract and to representative viruses of homologous and heterologous genotypes. All infants developed antibodies with similar reactivity for viruses of all contemporary isolates and genotypes when measured in an immunofluorescence assay against unfixed virus infected cells. However, when antibody responses to the individual glycoproteins were measured in a surace plasmon resonance (SPR) assay, although all infants developed genotype cross-reactive antibodies to the F glycoprotein, anti-G antibodies were detectable in only half of the infants and in all cases these were genotype specific. Possession of no or only genotype specific antibodies to the G glycoprotein may contribute to the susceptibility of infants to reinfection. In both assays, reactivity of anti-glycoprotein antibodies with the sub-group A archetypal strain, A2, was markedly lower than with any contemporary virus tested indicating that this strain alone is unsuitable for accurate assessment of infant antibody responses. .

Abstract
Serological responses have been studied in respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infected children < 1 year of age attending the outpatient department of the Manhiça District Hospital (Mozambique). Molecular characterization of viral RNA in nasopharyngeal aspirates from the infected children indicated a high level of genetic uniformity among the infecting viruses, all of which belonged to a single genotype of RSV group A. A representative virus strain, Moz00, was isolated from one of the infants and was used, together with the group A strain A2 and the group B strain 8/60, as antigens in the quantification of infant antibody responses. In this study, 97.5% (39/40) and 96.4% (27/28) of infected children produced an antibody response against Moz00 detected by the membrane fluorescent antibody test (MFAT) and the neutralization test (NT), respectively. Seroconversion rates decreased when the A2 and 8/60 strains were used as antigen in MFAT (95.4% and 88.2%, respectively) or NT (81.8% and 54.5%, respectively), indicating that antibody responses had both group- and strain-specific components. Antibodies in convalescent sera of infected children were compared with maternally derived antibodies detected in a group of children also < 1 year of age, but with no evidence of RSV infection. The convalescent sera exhibited reduced neutralizing capacity when the 8/60 strain was used as antigen (P = 0.028), suggesting that the infant antibody response lacks neutralizing capacity against strains of the heterologous virus group. Restricted cross-reactivity and neutralizing capacity of antibodies generated by young children might be expected to induce only moderate protection in subsequent epidemics against genetically distant strains.

Abstract
We recently described the isolation of a novel paramyxovirus from children with respiratory tract disease in The Netherlands. Based on biological properties and limited sequence information the virus was provisionally classified as the first nonavian member of the Metapneumovirus genus and named human metapneumovirus (hMPV). This report describes the analysis of the sequences of all hMPV open reading frames (ORFs) and intergenic sequences as well as partial sequences of the genomic termini. The overall percentage of amino acid sequence identity between APV and hMPV N, P, M, F, M2-1, M2-2, and L ORFs was 56 to 88%. Some nucleotide sequence identity was also found between the noncoding regions of the APV and hMPV genomes. Although no discernible amino acid sequence identity was found between two of the ORFs of hMPV and ORFs of other paramyxoviruses, the amino acid content, hydrophilicity profiles, and location of these ORFs in the viral genome suggest that they represent SH and G proteins. The high percentage of sequence identity between APV and hMPV, their similar genomic organization (3'-N-P-M-F-M2-SH-G-L-5'), and phylogenetic analyses provide evidence for the proposed classification of hMPV as the first mammalian metapneumovirus.

Abstract
Avian pneumovirus (APV) was first isolated from turkeys in the west-central US following emergence of turkey rhinotracheitis (TRT) during 1996. Subsequently, several APV isolates were obtained from the north-central US. Matrix (M) and fusion (F) protein genes of these isolates were examined for sequence heterogeneity and compared with European APV subtypes A and B. Among US isolates the M gene shared greater than 98% nucleotide sequence identity with only one nonsynonymous change occurring in a single US isolate. Although the F gene among US APV isolates shared 98% nucleotide sequence identity, nine conserved substitutions were detected in the predicted amino acid sequence. The predicted amino acid sequence of the US APV isolate's F protein had 72% sequence identity to the F protein of APV subtype A and 71% sequence identity to the F protein of APV subtype B. This compares with 83% sequence identity between the APV subtype A and B predicted amino acid sequences of the F protein. The US isolates were phylogenetically distinguishable from their European counterparts based on F gene nucleotide or predicted amino acid sequences. Lack of sequence heterogeneity among US APV subtypes indicates these viruses have maintained a relatively stable population since the first outbreak of TRT. Phylogenetic analysis of the F protein among APV isolates supports classification of US isolates as a new APV subtype C.
