Li X, Ye Z, Plant EP. 5' copyback defective viral genomes are major component in clinical and non-clinical influenza samples. Virus Res 2024; 339:199274. [PMID: 37981214 PMCID: PMC10701078 DOI: 10.1016/j.virusres.2023.199274] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Revised: 11/02/2023] [Accepted: 11/16/2023] [Indexed: 11/21/2023]
Abstract
Clinical samples from people with influenza disease have been analyzed to assess the presence and abundance of Defective Viral Genomes (DVGs), but these have not been assessed using the same bioinformatic pipeline. The type of DVG most described for influenza infections (deletion DVGs) differs from the most commonly described DVGs from non-segmented negative stranded viruses (5' copyback). This could be attributed to either differences between viruses or the tools used to detect and characterize DVGs. Here we analyze several NGS datasets from people infected with different types of influenza virus using the same bioinformatic pipeline. We observe that 5' copyback DVGs are prevalent in all human clinical samples but not in the cultured samples. To address this discrepancy between clinical and laboratory cultures, we infected cell culture and ferrets with an H5N8 influenza A virus (FLUAV) and analyzed the DVG composition. The results demonstrate that the DVG population is skewed toward 5' copyback DVGs in the in vivo infections and deletion DVGs in the in vitro infections. This demonstrates that there are differences in vivo genome production and in vitro genome production, and this has implications for how the role of DVGs in clinical disease is studied. We also investigate the role the host cofactor ANP32B has in DVG production.

Abstract
Directed evolution aims to expedite the natural evolution process of biological molecules and systems in a test tube through iterative rounds of gene diversifications and library screening/selection. It has become one of the most powerful and widespread tools for engineering improved or novel functions in proteins, metabolic pathways, and even whole genomes. This review describes the commonly used gene diversification strategies, screening/selection methods, and recently developed continuous evolution strategies for directed evolution. Moreover, we highlight some representative applications of directed evolution in engineering nucleic acids, proteins, pathways, genetic circuits, viruses, and whole cells. Finally, we discuss the challenges and future perspectives in directed evolution.

[PMID: 34295355 PMCID: PMC8290168 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2021.699141] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2021] [Accepted: 06/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
A new codon-pair bias present in the genomes of different types of influenza virus is described. Codons with fewer network interactions are more frequency paired together than other codon-pairs in influenza A, B, and C genomes. A shared feature among three different influenza types suggests an evolutionary bias. Codon-pair preference can affect both speed of protein translation and RNA structure. This newly identified bias may provide insight into drivers of virus evolution.
