Abstract
Picornavirus possesses one positive-sense, single-stranded RNA genome, in which a cis-acting replication element (cre) is located. The cre is a stem-loop structure that harbors a conserved AAACA motif within its loop region. This motif functions as a template for adding two U residues to the viral VPg, therefore generating a VPg-pUpU that is required for viral RNA synthesis. Senecavirus A (SVA) is an emerging picornavirus. Its cre has not been identified as yet. In the present study, one putative cre containing a typical AAACA motif was computationally predicted to exist within the VP2-encoding sequence of SVA. To test the role of this putative cre, 22 SVA cDNA clones with different point mutations in their cre-formed sequences were constructed in an attempt to rescue replication-competent SVAs. A total of 11 viruses were rescued from their individual cDNA clones, implying that some mutated cres exerted lethal impacts on SVA replication. To eliminate these impacts, an intact cre was artificially inserted into those SVA cDNA clones without ability of recovering virus. The artificial cre was proven to be able of compensating for some, but not all, defects caused by mutated cres, leading to successful recovery of SVAs. These results indicated that the putative cre of SVA was functionally similar to those of other picornaviruses, perhaps involved in the uridylylation of VPg.

Abstract
To clarify whether Senecavirus A (SVA) has the potential of alternative translation, an extra G residue was inserted into an SVA cDNA clone, resultantly generating an "AUGAUG" motif. The second AUG is the authentic SVA initiation codon, whereas the first AUG is a putative one. Subsequently, eighteen nucleotides were inserted one by one between AUG and AUG for reconstructing cDNA clones. The test of virus recovery showed that three replication-competent SVAs, whose AUG/AUG-flanked sequences were not multiples of three nucleotides, were successfully rescued from their individual cDNA clones. The wild-type SVA possesses a UUUUU motif within the polyprotein-encoding region. Sanger sequencing showed that these three replication-competent SVAs harbored one or two extra U residues in the UUUUU motif, implying that polyprotein translation was initiated from the putative AUG, and the authentic AUG would be inactivated. This is probably attributed to the lack of ribosome scanning along an SVA genome.

Abstract
Senecavirus A (SVA), also known as Seneca Valley virus, is a recently discovered picornavirus that can cause swine vesicular disease, posing a great threat to the global swine industry. It can replicate efficiently in cells, but the molecular mechanism remains poorly understood. This study determined the host’s differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) during SVA infection using dimethyl labeling based on quantitative proteomics. Among the DE proteins, DDX21, a member of the DEAD (Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp)-box RNA helicase (DDX) family, was downregulated and demonstrated inhibiting SVA replication by overexpression and knockdown experiment. To antagonize this antiviral effect of DDX21, SVA infection induces the degradation of DDX21 by 2B and 3C proteins. The Co-IP results showed that 2B and 3C did not interact with DDX21, suggesting that the degradation of DDX21 did not depend on their interaction. Moreover, the 3C protein protease activity was necessary for the degradation of DDX21. Furthermore, our study revealed that the degradation of DDX21 by 2B and 3C proteins of SVA was achieved through the caspase pathway. These findings suggest that DDX21 was an effective antiviral factor for suppressing SVA infection and that SVA antagonized its antiviral effect by degrading DDX21, which will be useful to guide further studies into the mechanism of mutual regulation between SVA and the host.

Abstract
Senecavirus A (SVA) is a new virus inducing porcine idiopathic vesicular disease that causes significant economic losses. Although some progress has been made in etiological research, the role of host factors in SVA infection remains unclear. This study investigated the role of the host factor, suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1), in SVA infection. The expression of SOCS1 was significantly upregulated with infection of SVA in a dose-dependent manner, and SOCS1 inhibited the expression of type I interferons (IFN-α, IFN-β) and the production of interferon stimulating genes (ISGs) (ISG56, ISG54, PKR), thereby facilitating viral replication. Further results showed that inhibition of antiviral responses of SOCS1 was achieved by regulating the NF-κB signaling pathway, which attenuates the production of IFNs and pro-inflammatory cytokines. These findings provide a new perspective of SVA pathogenesis and may partially explain the persistence of this infection. Moreover, the data indicate that targeting SOCS1 can help in developing new agents against SVA infection.

Abstract
Viral infections can give rise to a systemic decrease in the total number of lymphocytes in the blood, referred to as lymphopenia. Lymphopenia may affect the host adaptive immune responses and impact the clinical course of acute viral infections. Detailed knowledge on how viruses induce lymphopenia would provide valuable information into the pathogenesis of viral infections and potential therapeutic targeting. In this review, the current progress of viruses-induced lymphopenia is summarized and the potential mechanisms and factors involved are discussed.
