1 株新型鹅星状病毒的全基因序列分析.

In order to study the genetic and evolutionary characteristics of a novel goose astrovirus (N-GAstV), the full-length genes of Anhui strain AstV/AHHX were cloned in this study, and it was 7 251 nt. Sequencing analysis showed that AstV/AHHX had typical characteristics of N-GAstV. The phylogenetic tree showed that AstV/AHHX was relatively close to GDZJ37 isolates from China, G538 and G576 isolates from Shandong Province in recent years. The homology of ORF2 with GDZJ37, G538 and G576 was 100%, and the homology of ORF1a and ORF1b was more than 99.6%. Presumably they evolved from the same strain. Amino acid sequence analysis of ORF2 revealed 12 highly variable sites. They were the amino acid sites, 36 (Y/S/H), 60 (V/I), 224 (T/A), 228 (A/S/T), 229 (P/Q), 289 (T/A), 376 (T/A), 456 (D/E), 540 (Q/L), 608 (S/T), 610 (E/D/G), 614 (N/A/T). Amino acid mutations at position 224, 228, 229, 608 and 614 may lead to changes in the conformation and function of viral proteins, then the pathogenic ability of the virus was altered.
