Coxsackieviruses require phosphatidylinositol-4-kinase IIIβ (PI4KIIIβ) for replication but can bypass this need by an H57Y mutation in protein 3A (3A-H57Y). We show that mutant coxsackievirus is not outcompeted by wild-type virus during 10 passages in vitro. In mice, the mutant virus proved as virulent as wild-type virus, even when mice were treated with a PI4KIIIβ inhibitor. Our data suggest that upon emergence, the 3A-H57Y mutant has the fitness to establish a resistant population with a virulence similar to that of wild-type virus.
柯萨奇病毒的复制需要磷脂酰肌醇-4-激酶IIIβ(PI4KIIIβ),但可通过蛋白3A中的H57Y突变(3A-H57Y)绕过这一需求。我们发现,在体外传代10次的过程中,突变型柯萨奇病毒不会被野生型病毒淘汰。在小鼠中,即使给小鼠使用PI4KIIIβ抑制剂,突变病毒也与野生型病毒一样具有毒性。我们的数据表明,3A-H57Y突变体一旦出现,就具备形成一个与野生型病毒毒力相似的抗性群体的适应性。
