Abstract
The aim of this study was to gain insights into the tempo and mode of the evolutionary processes that sustain genetic diversity in coxsackievirus B5 (CVB5) and into the interplay with virus transmission. We estimated phylodynamic patterns with a large sample of virus strains collected in Europe by Bayesian statistical methods, reconstructed the ancestral states of genealogical nodes, and tested for selection. The genealogies estimated with the structural one-dimensional gene encoding the VP1 protein and nonstructural 3CD locus allowed the precise description of lineages over time and cocirculating virus populations within the two CVB5 clades, genogroups A and B. Strong negative selection shaped the evolution of both loci, but compelling phylogenetic data suggested that immune selection pressure resulted in the emergence of the two genogroups with opposed evolutionary pathways. The genogroups also differed in the temporal occurrence of the amino acid changes. The virus strains of genogroup A were characterized by sequential acquisition of nonsynonymous changes in residues exposed at the virus 5-fold axis. The genogroup B viruses were marked by selection of three changes in a different domain (VP1 C terminus) during its early emergence. These external changes resulted in a selective sweep, which was followed by an evolutionary stasis that is still ongoing after 50 years. The inferred population history of CVB5 showed an alternation of the prevailing genogroup during meningitis epidemics across Europe and is interpreted to be a consequence of partial cross-immunity.

Abstract
Porcine enterovirus (PEV), Porcine Teschovirus and Porcine sapelovirus, belonging to the family Picornaviridae, are ubiquitous and mainly cause asymptomatic infections in pigs. In this study, a total of 40 Italian porcine picornavirus isolates were characterized by sequencing the capsid VP1-encoding gene. This procedure turned out to be a useful diagnostic tool for the molecular identification of porcine enterovirus, teschovirus and sapelovirus strains and for the study of molecular epidemiology and evolution of these viruses confirming the possibility of correlating virus genotype to serotype.

Abstract
RNA helicase-like receptors MDA-5 but not RIG-I has been shown to be essential for triggering innate immune responses against picornaviruses. However, virus-host co-evolution has selected for viruses capable of replicating despite host cells antiviral defences. In this report, we demonstrate that RIG-I is degraded during encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) infection. This effect is mediated by both the viral-encoded 3C protease and caspase proteinase. In addition, we show that RIG-I overexpression confers IFN-beta promoter activation during EMCV infection, in MDA-5 knockout (MDA-5(-/-)) mouse embryo fibroblasts. This induction is followed by a strong inhibition reflecting the ability of EMCV to disrupt RIG-I signalling. Taken together, our data strongly suggest that during evolution RIG-I has been involved for triggering innate immune response to picornavirus infections.

Abstract
The interferon (IFN) system is a major effector of the innate immunity that allows time for the subsequent establishment of an adaptive immune response against a wide-range of pathogens. Their diverse biological actions are thought to be mediated by the products of specific but usually overlapping sets of cellular genes induced in the target cells. Ubiquitin ligase members of the tripartite motif (TRIM) protein family have emerged as IFN-induced proteins involved in both innate and adaptive immunity. In this report, we provide evidence that TRIM22 is a functional E3 ubiquitin ligase that is also ubiquitinated itself. We demonstrate that TRIM22 expression leads to a viral protection of HeLa cells against encephalomyocarditis virus infections. This effect is dependent upon its E3 ubiquitinating activity, since no antiviral effect was observed in cells expressing a TRIM22-deletion mutant defective in ubiquitinating activity. Consistent with this, TRIM22 interacts with the viral 3C protease (3C(PRO)) and mediates its ubiquitination. Altogether, our findings demonstrate that TRIM22 E3 ubiquitin ligase activity represents a new antiviral pathway induced by IFN against picornaviruses.

Abstract
A suicidal DNA vaccine based on a Semliki Forest virus (SFV) replicon was evaluated for the development of a vaccine against swine vesicular disease virus (SVDV). The 1BCD gene of SVDV was cloned and inserted into pSCA1, an SFV DNA-based replicon vector. The resultant plasmid, pSCA/1BCD, was transfected into BHK-21 cells and the antigenicity of the expressed protein was confirmed using an indirect immunofluorescence assay. Immunogenicity was studied in guinea pigs and swine. Animals were injected intramuscularly three times with pSCA/1BCD at regular intervals. Anti-SVDV antibodies were detected by ELISA, the lymphocyte proliferation response was tested by the 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide method and neutralizing antibodies were measured by microneutralization tests. The data showed that SVDV-specific antibodies, neutralizing antibodies and lymphocyte proliferation were induced in both guinea pigs and swine. Furthermore, after three successive vaccinations with pSCA/1BCD, half of the pigs were protected against challenge with SVDV. These results should encourage further work towards the development of a DNA vaccine against SVDV.

Abstract
A foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) polymerase (3D) with amino acid replacements G118D, V239M and G373D (triple DMD mutant) was obtained from a molecular clone derived from a virus population treated with ribavirin, in the transition to error catastrophe (virus extinction through lethal mutagenesis). DMD 3D was expressed in Escherichia coli, purified, and its activity compared with that of wild-type enzyme and mutant enzymes with either replacement G118D, G118A or D338A (the latter affecting the catalytic motif YGDD), generated by site-directed mutagenesis. No differences among the enzymes were noted in their interaction with monoclonal antibodies specific for the FMDV polymerase. Mutant enzymes with G118D or G118A showed a 100-fold decrease in polymerization activity relative to wild-type 3D, using poly(A)/oligo(dT)15 and poly(A)/VPg as template-primers, under several reaction conditions. As expected, the activity of 3D with D338A was undetectable (<0.01 times the value for wild-type 3D). DMD and the G118 mutants showed impaired binding to template-primer RNA whereas the D338A mutant showed a binding similar to wild-type 3D. Transfection of cells with FMDV RNA encoding DMD 3D resulted in selection of revertant viruses that maintained only substitutions V239M and G373D. Consistently, when infectious transcripts encoded 3D with either G118D, G118A or D338A, viruses with reversions to the wild-type sequence were isolated. The implication of G118 in template-primer binding is supported by the location of this residue in the template-binding groove of the FMDV polymerase. In addition to identifying an amino acid residue that is critical for the binding of polymerase to RNA, the results document the presence of defective genomes in the transition of virus to error catastrophe.
