Abstract
Infectious bursa disease (IBD) is an acute, highly contactable, lethal, immunosuppressive infectious disease caused by the Infectious bursa disease virus (IBDV). Currently, the emerged novel variant IBDV (nVarIBDV) and the sustainedly prevalent very virulent IBDV (vvIBDV) are the two most prevalent strains of IBDV in China. The antigenic properties of the two prevalent strains differed significantly, which led to the escape of nVarIBDV from the immune protection provided by the existing vvIBDV vaccine. However, the molecular basis of the nVarIBDV immune escape remains unclear. In this study, we demonstrated, for the first time, that residues 252, 254, and 256 in the PDE of VP2 are involved in the immune escape of the emerging nVarIBDV. Firstly, the IFA-mediated antigen-antibody affinity assay showed that PBC and PDE of VP2 could affect the affinity of vvIBDV antiserum to VP2, of which PDE was more significant. The key amino acids of PDE influencing the antigen-antibody affinity were also identified, with G254N being the most significant, followed by V252I and I256V. Then the mutated virus with point or combined mutations was rescued by reverse genetics. it was further demonstrated that mutations of V252I, G254N, and I256V in PDE could individually or collaboratively reduce antigen-antibody affinity and interfere with antiserum neutralization, with G254N being the most significant. This study revealed the reasons for the widespread prevalence of nVarIBDV in immunized chicken flocks and provided innovative ideas for designing novel vaccines that match the antigen of the epidemic strain.

Infectious bursal disease virus VP5 triggers host shutoff in a transcription-dependent manner. mBio 2024; 15:e0343323. [PMID: 38289089 PMCID: PMC10936426 DOI: 10.1128/mbio.03433-23] [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: 12/16/2023] [Accepted: 12/21/2023] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Viruses have evolved intricate mechanisms to evade host antiviral responses and exploit cellular resources by manipulating the expression profile of host genes. During infection, viruses encode proteins with shutoff activity to globally inhibit host protein synthesis, which is an effective strategy for immune evasion. In this study, compelling evidence shows that infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) infection triggers the suppression of host protein synthesis. Furthermore, using both in vitro and in vivo viral infection models, we have identified that IBDV specifically impedes the transcription of host genes via the shutoff activity of viral VP5, simultaneously conferring advantages to IBDV infection in these circumstances. The proposed mechanism suggests that VP5 competitively binds to RanBP1, disrupting the RanGDP/GTP gradient. This disruption interferes with cellular nucleocytoplasmic transport, impairing the nuclear import of proteins bearing nuclear localization signals. The nuclear transport of pivotal transcriptional regulatory factors, such as p65 and IFN regulatory factor 7, is also compromised, leading to the inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines and interferon expression. This newly discovered strategy employed by IBDV enables them to manipulate host gene expression, providing novel insights into how viruses evade host immune responses and establish infections.IMPORTANCEViruses manipulate host processes at various levels to regulate or evade both innate and adaptive immune responses, promoting self-survival and efficient transmission. The "host shutoff," a global suppression of host gene expression mediated by various viruses, is considered a critical mechanism for evading immunity. In this study, we have validated the presence of host shutoff during infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) infection and additionally uncovered that the viral protein VP5 plays a pivotal role in inhibiting the overall synthesis of host proteins, including cytokines, through a transcription-dependent pathway. VP5 competitively binds with RanBP1, leading to disruption of the Ran protein cycle and consequently interfering with nucleocytoplasmic transport, which ultimately results in the suppression of host gene transcription. These findings unveil a novel strategy employed by IBDV to evade host innate immunity and rapidly establish infection. This study also suggests a novel supplement to understanding the pathway through which viruses inhibit host protein synthesis.

Abstract
Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is an immunosuppressive pathogen causing enormous economic losses to the poultry industry across the globe. As a double-stranded RNA virus, IBDV undergoes genetic mutation or recombination in replication during circulation among flocks, leading to the generation and spread of variant or recombinant strains. In particular, the recent emergence of variant IBDV causes severe immunosuppression in chickens, affecting the efficacy of other vaccines. It seems that the genetic mutation of IBDV during the battle against host response is an effective strategy to help itself to survive. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of the viral genome diversity will definitely help to develop effective measures for prevention and control of infectious bursal disease (IBD). In recent years, considerable progress has been made in understanding the relation of genetic mutation and genomic recombination of IBDV to its pathogenesis using the reverse genetic technique. Therefore, this review focuses on our current genetic insight into the IBDV's genetic typing and viral genomic variation.

Abstract
Recently, atypical infectious bursal disease (IBD) caused by a novel variant infectious bursal disease virus (varIBDV) suddenly appeared in immunized chicken flocks in East Asia and led to serious economic losses. The epizootic varIBDV can partly circumvent the immune protection of the existing vaccines against the persistently circulating very virulent IBDV (vvIBDV), but its mechanism is still unknown. This study proved that the neutralizing titer of vvIBDV antiserum to the epizootic varIBDV reduced by 7.0 log2, and the neutralizing titer of the epizootic varIBDV antiserum to vvIBDV reduced by 3.2 log2. In addition, one monoclonal antibody (MAb) 2-5C-6F had good neutralizing activity against vvIBDV but could not well recognize the epizootic varIBDV. The epitope of the MAb 2-5C-6F was identified, and two mutations of G318D and D323Q of capsid protein VP2 occurred in the epizootic varIBDV compared to vvIBDV. Subsequently, the indirect immunofluorescence assay based on serial mutants of VP2 protein verified that residue mutations 318 and 323 influenced the recognition of the epizootic varIBDV and vvIBDV by the MAb 2-5C-6F, which was further confirmed by the serial rescued mutated virus. The following cross-neutralizing assay directed by MAb showed residue mutations 318 and 323 also affected the neutralization of the virus. Further data also showed that the mutations of residues 318 and 323 of VP2 significantly affected the neutralization of the IBDV by antiserum, which might be deeply involved in the immune circumvention of the epizootic varIBDV in the vaccinated flock. This study is significant for the comprehensive prevention and control of the emerging varIBDV.

Abstract
The infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), one member of the Birnaviridae family, causes immunosuppression in young chickens by damaging the mature B cells of the bursa of Fabricius (BF), the central immune system of young chickens. The genome of IBDV is a bisegmented, double-strand RNA (dsRNA). Reverse genetics systems for IBDV allow the generation of genetically manipulated infectious virus via transfected plasmid DNA, encoding the two genomic viral RNA segments as well as major viral proteins. For this purpose, the minus-sense of both segment A and segment B are inserted into vectors between the polymerase I promoter and the corresponding terminator I. These plasmids facilitate the transcription of the viral minus-sense genome but copy the plus-sense genome as well viral protein translation depends on the activity of VP1 and VP3, when transfected into 293T cells. To further improve rescue efficiency, dual-direction promoters were generated based on the polymerase II promoter in the reverse direction in the backbone of the pCDNA3.0 vector. Therefore, the polymerase I promoter transcribes the viral minus-sense genome in the forward direction and the polymerase II promoter transcribes viral mRNA, translated into viral proteins that produce infectious IBDV. We also found that the rescue efficiency of transfecting two plasmids is significantly higher than that of transfecting four plasmids. In addition, this dual-direction promoter rescue system was used to generate R186A mutant IBDV since Arg186 is the arginine monomer-methylation site identified by LC–MS. Our data furtherly showed that the Arg186 monomer methylation mutant was due to a reduction in VP1 polymerase activity as well as virus replication, suggesting that the Arg186 methylation site is essential for IBDV replication.

Identification of Chicken CD44 as a Novel B Lymphocyte Receptor for Infectious Bursal Disease Virus. J Virol 2022; 96:e0011322.

Abstract
Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), which targets bursa B lymphocytes, causes severe immunosuppressive disease in chickens, inducing huge economic losses for the poultry industry. To date, the functional receptor for IBDV binding and entry into host cells remains unclear. This study used mass spectrometry to screen host proteins of chicken bursal lymphocytes interacting with VP2. The chicken transmembrane protein cluster of differentiation 44 (chCD44) was identified and evaluated for its interaction with IBDV VP2, the major capsid protein. Overexpression and knockdown experiments showed that chCD44 promotes replication of IBDV. Furthermore, soluble chCD44 and the anti-chCD44 antibody blocked virus binding. The results of receptor reconstitution indicated that chCD44 overexpression conferred viral binding capability in non-permissive cells. More important, although we found that IBDV could not replicate in the chCD44-overexpressed non-permissive cells, the virus could enter non-permissive cells using chCD44. Our finding reveals that chCD44 is a cellular receptor for IBDV, facilitating virus binding and entry in target cells by interacting with the IBDV VP2 protein. IMPORTANCE IBDV causes severe immunosuppressive disease in chickens, inducing huge economic losses for the poultry industry. However, the specific mechanism of IBDV invading host cells of IBDV was not very clear. This study shed light on which cellular protein component IBDV is used to bind and/or enter B lymphocytes. The results of our study revealed that chCD44 could promote both the binding and entry ability of IBDV in B lymphocytes, acting as a cellular receptor for IBDV. Besides, this is the first report about chicken CD44 function in viral replication. Our study impacts the understanding of the IBDV binding and entry process and sets the stage for further elucidation of the infection mechanism of IBDV.

Abstract
Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), a double-stranded RNA virus, causes immunosuppression and high mortality in 3-6-week-old chickens. Innate immune defense is a physical barrier to restrict viral replication. After viral infection, the host shows crucial defense responses, such as stimulation of antiviral effectors to restrict viral replication. Here, we conducted RNA-seq in avian cells infected by IBDV and identified TRIM25 as a host restriction factor. Specifically, TRIM25 deficiency dramatically increased viral yields, whereas overexpression of TRIM25 significantly inhibited IBDV replication. Immunoprecipitation assays indicated that TRIM25 only interacted with VP3 among all viral proteins, mediating its K27-linked polyubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation. Moreover, the Lys854 residue of VP3 was identified as the key target site for the ubiquitination catalyzed by TRIM25. The ubiquitination site destroyed enhanced the replication ability of IBDV in vitro and in vivo. These findings demonstrated that TRIM25 inhibited IBDV replication by specifically ubiquitinating and degrading the structural protein VP3.

The Full Region of N-Terminal in Polymerase of IBDV Plays an Important Role in Viral Replication and Pathogenicity: Either Partial Region or Single Amino Acid V4I Substitution Does Not Completely Lead to the Virus Attenuation to Three-Yellow Chickens. Viruses 2021; 13:v13010107. [PMID: 33466596 PMCID: PMC7828667 DOI: 10.3390/v13010107] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2020] [Revised: 12/28/2020] [Accepted: 01/11/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Infectious Bursal Disease Virus (IBDV) has haunted the poultry industry with severe, prolonged immunosuppression of chickens when infected at an early age and can easily lead to other secondary infections. Understanding the pathogenic mechanisms could lead to effective prevention and control of Infectious Bursal Disease (IBD). Evidence suggests that the N-terminal domain of polymerase in segment B plays an important role, but it is not clear which part or residual is crucial for the pathogenicity. Using a reverse genetics technique, a molecular clone (rNN1172) of the parental vvIBDV strain NN1172 was generated, and its pathogenicity was found to be the same as the parental virus. Then, three recombinant chimeric viruses were rescued based on the rNN1172 and substituted with the counterparts in the N-terminal domain of the attenuated vaccine strain B87: the rNN1172-B87VP1a (substituting the full region of the 1–167 aa residuals), the rNN1172-B87VP1a∆4 (substituting the region of the 5–167 aa residuals), and the rNN1172-VP1∆4 (one single aa residual substitution V4I), to better explore the role of the N-terminal domain of polymerase on the viral pathogenicity. Interestingly, all these substitutions played different roles in the viral pathogenicity: the mortality of the rNN1172-B87VP1a-challenged chickens was significantly reduced from 30% to 0%. No obvious lesion was found in the histopathological examination, and the lowest viral genome copy number was also detected in the bursa when compared to the parental and two other recombinant viruses. The mortalities caused by rNN1172-B87VP1a∆4 and rNN1172-B87VP1∆4, respectively, were all reduced to 10% and had a delayed onset of death. Our results also revealed that the pathogenicity of the IBDV was consistent with the viral replication efficiency in vivo (bursae). This study demonstrated that the full region of the N-terminal of polymerase plays an important role in viral replication and pathogenicity, but the substitutions of its partial region or a single residual do not completely lead to the virus attenuation to Three-Yellow chickens, although that significantly reduces its pathogenicity.

Abstract
Infectious bursal disease (IBD), caused by infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), is the most important immunosuppressive disease threatening the poultry industry worldwide. Recently, the novel variant IBDV has been emerging in large-scale in Asia including China and is becoming a new threat to the healthy development of the poultry industry, but no ideal vaccine is available. Therefore, it is necessary and urgent to develop a new vaccine against the novel variant IBDV. In this study, based on the skeleton of an attenuated vaccine strain Gt, a reassortment virus strain rGtVarVP2 was constructed for the first time, which could express the main protective antigen VP2 of the novel variant IBDV and replicate well in cell culture. Subsequently, the safety and effectiveness of rGtVarVP2 were further evaluated using animal experiments. The rGtVarVP2 is nonpathogenic to specific-pathogen-free (SPF) chicken. The immunization of rGtVarVP2 could induce the specific neutralizing antibodies against the novel variant IBDV. The challenge protection tests further confirmed the effectiveness of the IBDV reassortment virus rGtVarVP2. No atrophy and obvious lesions were observed in the immunization group while the bursae of non-immunization control group were severely destroyed after challenge, which showed that rGtVarVP2 could provide complete protection against the novel variant IBDV. These data indicate that the vaccine candidate (rGtVarVP2 strain) is safe and effective, which is of great significance for comprehensive control of IBD and healthy breeding.

Abstract
Infectious bursal disease (IBD), which is caused by infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) infection, leads to severe immunosuppression in young chickens and results in significant economic losses in the poultry industry. To date, vaccination with live-attenuated vaccine (LAV) is a convenient method to provide effective protection against IBDV infection. Classical attenuated viruses are usually obtained by either passaging virus in cultured cells or natural isolation. However, these empiric attenuation methods, which are time-consuming and not guaranteed, are not reliable for emergent antigenic variant and very virulent IBDV strains. The reverse genetics (RG) system opens a new avenue for the development of IBDV LAV. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on the biological characteristics of IBDV structure and genome organization, as well as the established RG systems. We also describe the details for the strategies used to develop IBDV LAV based on the RG systems.

Abstract
Infectious Bursal Disease Virus (IBDV), a member of the Birnaviridae family, causes an immunosuppressive disease in young chickens. Although several reverse genetics systems are available for IBDV, the isolation of most field-derived strains, such as very virulent IBDV (vvIBDV) and their subsequent rescue, has remained challenging due to the lack of replication of those viruses in vitro. Such rescue required either the inoculation of animals, embryonated eggs, or the introduction of mutations in the capsid protein (VP2) hypervariable region (HVR) to adapt the virus to cell culture, the latter option concomitantly altering its virulence in vivo. We describe an improved ex vivo IBDV rescue system based on the transfection of an avian cell line with RNA polymerase II-based expression vectors, combined with replication on primary chicken bursal cells, the main cell type targeted in vivo of IBDV. We validated this system by rescuing to high titers two recombinant IBDV strains: a cell-culture adapted attenuated strain and a vvIBDV. Sequencing of VP2 HVR confirmed the absence of unwanted mutations that may alter the biological properties of the recombinant viruses. Therefore, this approach is efficient, economical, time-saving, reduces animal suffering and can be used to rescue other non-cell culture adapted IBDV strains.

Abstract
Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) of the Birnaviridae family leads to immunosuppression of young chickens by destroying B cells in the bursa of Fabricius (BFs). Given the increasing number of variant IBDV strains, we urgently require a method to produce attenuated virus for vaccine development. To accomplish this goal, the dual-promoter plasmids in which the RNA polymerase II and RNA polymerase I (Pol I) promoters were placed upstream of the IBDV genomic sequence, which was followed by mouse Pol I terminator and a synthetic polyadenylation signal, were developed for rapid generation of IBDV. This approach did not require trans-supplementation of plasmids for the expression of VP1 and VP3, the main components of IBDV ribonucleoprotein (RNP). Based on the finding in this study that the IBDV RNP activity was partially retained by VP1-FLAG, we successfully rescued the replication-competent IBDV/1FLAG expressing VP1-FLAG. Compared with its parental counterpart, IBDV/1FLAG formed smaller size plaques in cultured cells and induced the same 100% immune protection in vivo However, neither retarded development nor severe BFs lesion was observed in the IBDV/1FLAG-inoculated chickens. Collectively, this is the first report that viral RNP activity was affected by the addition of an epitope tag on the componential viral proteins. Furthermore, this work demonstrates the rapid generation of attenuated IBDV from dual-promoter plasmids via reducing viral RNP activity by a fused FLAG tag on the C terminus of VP1. This would be a convenient strategy to attenuate epidemic variant IBDV strains for rapid and efficient vaccine development.IMPORTANCE Immunosuppression in chickens as a result of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) infection leads to significant economic losses in the poultry industry worldwide every year. Currently, vaccination is still the best way to prevent the prevalence of IBDV. However, with the occurrence of increasing numbers of variant IBDV strains, it is challenging to develop antigen-matched live attenuated vaccine. Here, we first developed a dual-promoter reverse-genetic system for the rapid generation of IBDV. Using this system, the attenuated IBDV/1FLAG expressing VP1-FLAG, which displays the decreased viral RNP activity, was rescued. Moreover, IBDV/1FLAG inoculation induced a similar level of neutralizing antibodies to that of its parental counterpart, protecting chickens against lethal challenge. Our study, for the first time, describes a dual-promoter reverse-genetic approach for the rapid generation of attenuated IBDV while maintaining entire parental antigenicity, suggesting a potential new method to attenuate epidemic variant IBDV strains for vaccine development.

Abstract
Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is an important immunosuppressive virus of chickens. Although the gene functions of IBDV have been well characterized, the host responses during IBDV infection remain much poor. In the present study, casein kinase 1 alpha (CK1α), a novel VP2-associated protein, was down-regulated during IBDV replication in DF1 cells. Further experiments showed that siRNA-mediated knockdown of CK1α inhibited IBDV replication, while overexpression of CK1α promoted IBDV growth. Finally, we revealed that the effects of CK1α expression level on IBDV replication were involved in the negative regulation of CK1α on type I interferon receptor (IFNAR1), because ubiquitination assay analyses demonstrated that CK1α could promote the ubiquitination of IFNAR1, thereby affecting the stability of this receptor. In conclusion, down-regulation of CK1α during IBDV infection as a host defense response increased abundance of IFNAR1, which in turn enhanced an inhibitory effect on IBDV replication.

Voltage-Dependent Anion Channel 1 Interacts with Ribonucleoprotein Complexes To Enhance Infectious Bursal Disease Virus Polymerase Activity. J Virol 2017; 91:JVI.00584-17.

Abstract
Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) virus. Segment A contains two overlapping open reading frames (ORFs), which encode viral proteins VP2, VP3, VP4, and VP5. Segment B contains one ORF and encodes the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, VP1. IBDV ribonucleoprotein complexes are composed of VP1, VP3, and dsRNA and play a critical role in mediating viral replication and transcription during the virus life cycle. In the present study, we identified a cellular factor, VDAC1, which was upregulated during IBDV infection and found to mediate IBDV polymerase activity. VDAC1 senses IBDV infection by interacting with viral proteins VP1 and VP3. This association is caused by RNA bridging, and all three proteins colocalize in the cytoplasm. Furthermore, small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated downregulation of VDAC1 resulted in a reduction in viral polymerase activity and a subsequent decrease in viral yield. Moreover, overexpression of VDAC1 enhanced IBDV polymerase activity. We also found that the viral protein VP3 can replace segment A to execute polymerase activity. A previous study showed that mutations in the C terminus of VP3 directly influence the formation of VP1-VP3 complexes. Our immunoprecipitation experiments demonstrated that protein-protein interactions between VDAC1 and VP3 and between VDAC1 and VP1 play a role in stabilizing the interaction between VP3 and VP1, further promoting IBDV polymerase activity.IMPORTANCE The cellular factor VDAC1 controls the entry and exit of mitochondrial metabolites and plays a pivotal role during intrinsic apoptosis by mediating the release of many apoptogenic molecules. Here we identify a novel role of VDAC1, showing that VDAC1 interacts with IBDV ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) and facilitates IBDV replication by enhancing IBDV polymerase activity through its ability to stabilize interactions in RNP complexes. To our knowledge, this is the first report that VDAC1 is specifically involved in regulating IBDV RNA polymerase activity, providing novel insight into virus-host interactions.

Abstract
Flavivirus cDNA clones frequently demonstrate genetic instability in transformed bacteria, which hampers the construction and manipulation of cDNAs for infectious flaviviruses. In this study, we developed a stable, full-length cDNA clone, pJEHEN, of a GI JEV strain HEN0701 using a medium-copy-number pBR322 vector and propagating cDNA clones at room temperature. The virus vJEHEN recovered from the infectious clone was indistinguishable from the parent virus HEN0701 with respect to plaque morphology, growth kinetics, and virulence characteristics. A T-to-A silent mutation of nucleotide 24 of the NS2a gene was introduced into the infectious cDNA clone to eliminate frameshifting. The rescued mutant virus vJETA did not express NS1' in infected cells and showed reduced growth and neurovirulence in mice. This convenient method for the construction and manipulation of infectious JEV cDNA clones may be of use in further studies to improve our understanding of the molecular mechanisms responsible for JEV replication and pathogenesis.

Abstract
To test whether amino acid mutations in the PBC and PHI loops of VP2 are involved in the replication and virulence of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), a pair of viruses, namely the moderately virulent IBDV (rGx-F9VP2) and the attenuated strain (rGt), were used. Residue mutations A222P (PBC) and S330R (PHI), selected by sequence comparison, were introduced individually into rGx-F9VP2 by using a reverse genetics system. In addition, the reverse mutation of either P222A or R330S was introduced into rGt. The four modified viruses were then rescued and evaluated in vitro (CEF cells) and in vivo (SPF chickens). Results showed that A222P elevated the replication efficiency of rGx-F9VP2 while P222A reduced that of rGt in CEF cells. A mutation at residue 330 did not alter IBDV replication. In addition, animal experiments showed that a single mutation at either residue 222 or 330 did not significantly influence the virulence of IBDV. In conclusion, residue 222 in PBC of VP2 is involved in the replication efficiency of IBDV in vitro but does not affect its virulence in vivo, further facilitating our understanding of the gene-function of IBDV.

Molecular characteristics and evolutionary analysis of a very virulent infectious bursal disease virus. SCIENCE CHINA-LIFE SCIENCES 2015; 58:731-8.

Abstract
Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) poses a significant threat to the poultry industry. Viral protein 2 (VP2), the major structural protein of IBDV, has been subjected to frequent mutations that have imparted tremendous genetic diversity to the virus. To determine how amino acid mutations may affect the virulence of IBDV, we built a structural model of VP2 of a very virulent strain of IBDV identified in China, vvIBDV Gx, and performed a molecular dynamics simulation of the interaction between virulence sites. The study showed that the amino acid substitutions that distinguish vvIBDV from attenuated IBDV (H253Q and T284A) favor a hydrophobic and flexible conformation of β-barrel loops in VP2, which could promote interactions between the virus and potential IBDV-specific receptors. Population sequence analysis revealed that the IBDV strains prevalent in East Asia show a significant signal of positive selection at virulence sites 253 and 284. In addition, a signal of co-evolution between sites 253 and 284 was identified. These results suggest that changes in the virulence of IBDV may result from both the interaction and the co-evolution of multiple amino acid substitutions at virulence sites.

Abstract
The Infectious Bursal Disease Virus (IBDV) causes immunosuppression in young chickens. Advances in molecular virology and vaccines for IBDV have been achieved by viral reverse genetics (VRG). VRG for IBDV has undergone changes over time, however all strategies used to generate particles of IBDV involves multiple rounds of amplification and need of in vitro ligation and restriction sites. The aim of this research was to build the world’s first VRG for IBDV by yeast-based homologous recombination; a more efficient, robust and simple process than cloning by in vitro ligation. The wild type IBDV (Wt-IBDV-Br) was isolated in Brazil and had its genome cloned in pJG-CMV-HDR vector by yeast-based homologous recombination. The clones were transfected into chicken embryo fibroblasts and the recovered virus (IC-IBDV-Br) showed genetic stability and similar phenotype to Wt-IBDV-Br, which were observed by nucleotide sequence, focus size/morphology and replication kinetics, respectively. Thus, IBDV reverse genetics by yeast-based homologous recombination provides tools to IBDV understanding and vaccines/viral vectors development.

Abstract
Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) causes an economically significant disease of young chickens worldwide. The emergence of very virulent IBDV (vvIBDV) strains has brought more challenges for effective prevention and control of this disease. The aim of the present study was to characterize four IBDV isolates from various regions of China between late 1990s and recent years and to compare them with previously isolated European IBDV strains. In this study, one Chinese vvIBDV strain isolated in 1999 and three strains isolated between 2005 and 2011 were analyzed at the genetic, antigenic and pathogenic levels. Strain SH99 was closely related and clustered in the same genetic lineage as the typical vvIBDV based on the genomic sequences of segments A and B. However, the three more recent Chinese vvIBDV (HLJ0504, HeB10 and HuN11) showed several genetic changes in both segments and clustered in a distinct lineage from the typical vvIBDV and the previously known Chinese vvIBDV. Based on the binding to a panel of neutralizing monoclonal antibodies in antigen capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, all Chinese vvIBDVs exhibited similar antigenicity with the European typical vvIBDV strains. Nonetheless, the pathogenicity caused by the recent Chinese vvIBDV was higher than that induced by the European typical vvIBDV. This study calls for a sustained surveillance of IBD situation in China in order to support a better prevention and control of the disease.

Abstract
Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) causes an economically significant disease of chickens worldwide. The emergence of very virulent IBDV (vvIBDV) has brought more challenges for effective prevention of this disease. The molecular basis for the virulence of vvIBDV is not fully understood. In this study, 20 IBDV strains were analysed phylogenically and clustered in three branches based on their full-length B segments. The amino acid triplet located at positions 145/146/147 of VP1 was found highly conserved in branch I non-vvIBDVs as asparagine/glutamic acid/glycine (NEG), in branch II vvIBDVs as threonine/glutamic acid/glycine (TEG) and in branch III vvIBDVs as threonine/aspartic acid/asparagine (TDN). Further studies showed that the three amino acids play a critical role in the replication and pathogenicity of vvIBDV. Substitution of the TDN triplet with TEG or NEG reduced viral replication and pathogenicity of the vvIBDV HuB-1 strain in chickens. However, the replication of the attenuated IBDV Gt strain was reduced in chicken embryo fibroblast cells, whilst it was enhanced in the bursa by substituting NEG with TEG or TDN. The exchange of the three amino acids was also found to be capable of affecting the polymerase activity of VP1. The important role of segment B in the pathogenicity of IBDV was confirmed in this study. These results also provided new insights into the mechanism of the virulence of vvIBDVs and may offer new targets for their attenuation to develop potential vaccines using reverse genetics.

Abstract
Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is a pathogen of worldwide significance to the poultry industry. Although the PDE and PFG domains of the capsid protein VP2 contribute significantly to virulence and fitness, the detailed molecular basis for the pathogenicity of IBDV is still not fully understood. Because residues 253 and 284 of VP2 are not the sole determinants of virulence, we hypothesized that other residues involved in virulence and fitness might exist in the PDE and PFG domains of VP2. To test this, five amino acid changes selected by sequence comparison of the PDE and PFG domains of VP2 were introduced individually using a reverse genetics system into the virulent strain (rGx-F9VP2). Then reverse mutations of the selected residues 249 and 256 were introduced individually into the attenuated strain (rGt). Seven modified viruses were generated and evaluated in vitro (CEF cells) and in vivo (SPF chicken). For residue 249, Q249R could elevate in vitro and reduce in vivo the replication of rGx-F9VP2 while R249Q could reduce in vitro and elevate in vivo the replication of rGt; meanwhile Q249R reduced the virulence of rGx-F9VP2 while R249Q increased the virulence of rGt, which indicated that residue 249 significantly contributed to the replication and virulence of IBDV. For residue 256, I256V could elevate in vitro and reduce in vivo the replication of rGx-F9VP2 while V256I could reduce in vitro but didn't change in vivo the replication of rGt; although V256I didn't increase the virulence of rGt, I256V obviously reduced the virulence of virulent IBDV. The present results demonstrate for the first time, to different extent, residues 249 and 256 of VP2 are involved in the replication efficiency and virulence of IBDV; this is not only beneficial to further understanding of pathogenic mechanism but also to the design of newly tailored vaccines against IBDV.

Abstract
Conventional reverse genetics for classical swine fever virus (CSFV) is based on the transfection of permissive cells with either in vitro or intracellularly synthesized RNA transcripts from a viral genomic cDNA clone. These strategies are complicated, inefficient and time-consuming. This study is aimed to develop an improved reverse genetics method for the direct, rapid and efficient recovery of CSFV from cloned cDNA. The cDNA clone pBRCISM was constructed, which harbors the full-length genomic sequence from the CSFV Shimen strain flanked by the cytomegalovirus promoter (an RNA polymerase II promoter), a chimeric intron, and hammerhead ribozyme sequences at the 5'-end and the hepatitis delta virus ribozyme and SV40 polyadenylation signal sequences at the 3'-end. Infectious progeny virus was rescued from PK-15 cells directly transfected with pBRCISM, and its morphology, one-step growth characteristics and pathogenicity were indistinguishable from the parent virus and virus rescued from classical reverse genetics. The reverse genetics based on RNA polymerase II yielded a 120-fold increase in the titer of nascent virus in 12-h less time than a reverse genetics method based on in vitro transcription. The full-length cDNA clone remained stable and infectious after 20 passages in bacterial cells, in contrast to the instability of the full-length clone without the intron after 9 passages. The improved reverse genetics method developed in the present study is efficient, stable, convenient and cost-effective and will be valuable for the rapid recovery of CSFV mutants.

Abstract
Reverse genetic systems for efficient generation of very virulent infectious bursal disease virus (vvIBDV) are currently limited. In this study, we have developed a simple and efficient way to rescue vvIBDV using SPF chickens. The genome of a vvIBDV strain, HLJ0504, flanked by hammerhead and hepatitis delta ribozyme sequences, was cloned downstream of the cytomegalovirus enhancer and the chicken beta-actin promoter of the vector pCAGGS. After transfection of DF-1 cells, cell suspensions were injected into the bursa organ of three-week-old SPF chickens. Using this system, vvIBDV was recovered at high titers after one passage, and the rescued vvIBDV remained highly lethal to SPF chickens. This simple and efficient method to rescue vvIBDV will be a valuable tool for better understanding the molecular virulence determinants of vvIBDV.

Abstract
A mutant infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) deficient in expressing VP5, rGx-F9VP2DeltaVP5, was generated using reverse genetics technology. In comparison to the characteristics of rGx-F9VP2 virus in vitro, the mutant virus demonstrated lower viral titer and cytopathogenicity. To understand the role of VP5 in the pathogenicity of IBDV in vivo, animal experiments were conducted. rGx-F9VP2DeltaVP5 caused reduced bursal lesion of SPF chickens compared to rGx-F9VP2. Although rGx-F9VP2DeltaVP5 induced lower serum antibody than rGx-F9VP2 did, both inoculated groups were fully protected against vvIBDV challenge 4 weeks post-inoculation. In addition, immunosuppression induced by VP5-deficient virus was studied in 2-week-old SPF chickens immunized with AIV inactivated vaccine. And there was reduced immunosuppression as shown in our experimental results. The results showed that AIV hemagglutination inhibition (HI) antibodies of the rGx-F9VP2DeltaVP5 inoculated group were similar to those of the mock-inoculated group, however, they were higher than those of the rGx-F9VP2 inoculated group, indicating that deficiency of VP5 decreased the immunosuppression of rGx-F9VP2DeltaVP5 in chickens. All data indicated that VP5 played an important role in viral replication and pathogenesis both in vitro and in vivo. The VP5-deficient mutant virus could be a good candidate as a marked vaccine.

Abstract
Two full-length genomic cDNA clones, pTA/FMDV and pCA/FMDV, were constructed that contained three point-mutants [A174G and A308G (not present in pTA/FMDV); T1029G] in the genome compared with the wild type A/AKT/58 strain of foot-and-mouth disease virus. These two viruses were rescued by co-transfection of pCA/FMDV with pCT7RNAP, which can express T7 RNA polymerase in BHK-21 cell-lines, or by transfection of the in vitro transcribed RNA. Their biological properties were analyzed for their antigenicity, virulence in suckling-mice (LD50) and growth kinetics in BHK-21 cells. The in vivo rescued viruses showed high pathogenicity for 3-day-old unweaned mice (LD50=10(-7.5)). However, the in vitro transcribed RNA derived from pTA/FMDV had lower pathogenicity for suckling-mice (LD50=10(-6)), and the in vivo transcribed RNA recovered from pCA/FMDV co-transfected with pCT7RNAP showed no significant differences from the wild type virus. These data showed that recovery of the infectious foot-and-mouth disease virus directly from the use of in vivo techniques was better than from in vitro methods. Furthermore, the reverse genetic procedure technique was simplified to a faster one-step procedure based on co-transfection with pCT7RNAP. These results suggest that in vivo RNA transcripts may be more valuable for engineering recombinant foot-and-mouth disease virus than in vitro RNA transcripts, and may contribute to further understanding of the biological properties, such as replication, maturation and quasispecies, of the foot-and-mouth disease virus.

Abstract
We describe a simplified RNA polymerase II-based reverse genetics approach that allows for the efficient rescue of high-titer infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) from cloned cDNAs of genomic segments A and B. Unlike the previously reported RNA polymerase II-based methods, the developed strategy does not necessitate the introduction of a ribozyme sequence at both ends of the genomic cDNA sequences. This was achieved by fusing the 5' terminal sequence of the cDNA of each segment to the transcription start site of the immediate early cytomegalovirus promoter, while a ribozyme sequence was only introduced at the 3' end. Using this strategy, and without complementing with IBDV structural proteins, titers as high as 10(11) tissue culture infectious dose 50 were reproducibly obtained in chicken embryo fibroblast cells immediately upon co-transfection with cDNAs of both segments. We anticipate that this modification could improve reverse genetics for any other RNA virus and may be beneficial for vaccine development and dissection of the viral life cycle.
