Abstract

Rhesus lymphocryptovirus (rLCV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) are closely related gammaherpesviruses that infect and cause disease in rhesus monkeys and humans, respectively. Thus, rLCV is an important model system for EBV pathogenesis. Both rLCV and EBV express microRNAs (miRNAs), several conserved in sequence and genomic location. We have applied deep sequencing technology to obtain an inventory of rLCV miRNA expression in latently rLCV-infected monkey B cells. Our data confirm the presence of all previously identified mature rLCV miRNAs and have resulted in the discovery of 21 new mature miRNAs arising from previously identified precursor miRNAs (pre-miRNAs), as well as two novel pre-miRNAs (rL1-34 and rL1-35) that together generate four new mature miRNAs. Thus, the total number of rLCV-encoded pre-miRNAs is 35 and the total number of rLCV mature miRNAs is 68, the most of any virus examined. The exact 5' and 3' ends of all mature rLCV miRNAs were pinpointed, many showing marked sequence and length heterogeneity that could modulate function. We further demonstrate that rLCV mature miRNAs associate with Argonaute proteins in rLCV-infected B cells.

摘要

恒河猴淋巴组织细胞病毒(rLCV)和 Epstein-Barr 病毒(EBV)是两种密切相关的γ疱疹病毒,分别感染和引起恒河猴和人类的疾病。因此,rLCV 是 EBV 发病机制的重要模型系统。rLCV 和 EBV 都表达 microRNAs(miRNAs),其中一些在序列和基因组位置上是保守的。我们应用深度测序技术获得了潜伏感染 rLCV 的猴 B 细胞中 rLCV miRNA 表达的清单。我们的数据证实了所有先前鉴定的成熟 rLCV miRNAs 的存在,并发现了 21 个新的成熟 miRNA,它们源自先前鉴定的前体 miRNA(pre-miRNAs),以及两个新的 pre-miRNAs(rL1-34 和 rL1-35),它们共同产生了四个新的成熟 miRNA。因此,rLCV 编码的 pre-miRNAs 的总数为 35,rLCV 成熟 miRNAs 的总数为 68,是所有被检测病毒中最多的。所有成熟 rLCV miRNAs 的精确 5'和 3'末端都被精确定位,许多表现出明显的序列和长度异质性,可能调节功能。我们进一步证明 rLCV 成熟 miRNAs 与 rLCV 感染的 B 细胞中的 Argonaute 蛋白相关。
