The genomes of commonly used variants of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) strains Towne and AD169 each contain a substantial mutation in which a region (U(L)/b') at the right end of the long unique region has been replaced by an inverted duplication of a region from the left end of the genome. Using high-throughput technology, we have sequenced HCMV strain Towne (ATCC VR-977) and confirmed the presence of two variants, one exhibiting the replacement in U(L)/b' and the other intact in this region. Both variants are mutated in genes RL13, UL1, UL40, UL130, US1 and US9. We have also sequenced a novel AD169 variant (varUC) that is intact in U(L)/b' except for a small deletion that affects genes UL144, UL142, UL141 and UL140. Like other AD169 variants, varUC is mutated in genes RL5A, RL13, UL36 and UL131A. A subpopulation of varUC contains an additional deletion affecting genes IRS1, US1 and US2.
人类巨细胞病毒(HCMV)毒株汤氏(Towne)和AD169常用变体的基因组各自都包含一个重大突变,即长独特区域右端的一个区域(U(L)/b')被基因组左端一个区域的反向重复序列所取代。利用高通量技术,我们对HCMV毒株汤氏(ATCC VR - 977)进行了测序,并确认存在两种变体,一种在U(L)/b'区域出现了上述取代,另一种在该区域保持完整。两种变体在RL13、UL1、UL40、UL130、US1和US9基因中均发生了突变。我们还对一种新型AD169变体(varUC)进行了测序,该变体在U(L)/b'区域除了有一个影响UL144、UL142、UL141和UL140基因的小缺失外保持完整。与其他AD169变体一样,varUC在RL5A、RL13、UL36和UL131A基因中发生了突变。varUC的一个亚群包含一个额外的缺失,影响IRS1、US1和US2基因。
