Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a typical immunosuppressive virus causing a large economic impact on the swine industry. The structural protein GP5 of PRRSV plays a pivotal role in its pathogenicity and immune evasion. Virus-host interactions play a crucial part in viral replication and immune escape. Therefore, understanding the interactions between GP5 and host proteins are significant for porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) control. However, the interaction network between GP5 and host proteins in primary porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs) has not been reported. In this study, 709 GP5-interacting host proteins were identified in primary PAMs by immunoprecipitation coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Bioinformatics analysis revealed that these proteins were involved in multiple cellular processes, such as translation, protein transport, and protein stabilization. Subsequently, immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence assay confirmed that GP5 could interact with antigen processing and presentation pathways related proteins. Finally, we found that GP5 may be a key protein that inhibits the antigen processing and presentation pathway during PRRSV infection. The novel host proteins identified in this study will be the candidates for studying the biological functions of GP5, which will provide new insights into PRRS prevention and vaccine development.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is a respiratory disease in pigs that causes severe economic losses. Currently, live PRRSV vaccines are commonly used but fail to prevent PRRS outbreaks and reinfection. Inactivated PRRSV vaccines have poor immunogenicity, making PRRSV a significant threat to swine health globally. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an effective PRRSV vaccine. This study used immunoinformatics to predict, screen, design and construct a candidate vaccine that fused B-cell epitopes, CTL- and HTL-dominant protective epitopes of PRRSV strain's GP3 and GP5 proteins. The study identified 12 B-cell epitopes, 6 CTL epitopes and 5 HTL epitopes of GP3 and GP5 proteins. The candidate vaccine was constructed with 50S ribosomal protein L7/L1 molecular adjuvant, which has antigenicity, solubility, stability, non-allergenicity and a high affinity for its target receptor, TLR-3. The C-ImmSim immunostimulation results showed significant increases in cellular and humoral responses (B cells and T cells) and production of TGF-β, IL-2, IL-10, IFN-γ and IL-12. The constructed vaccine was stable and immunogenic, and it can effectively induce strong T-cell and B-cell immune responses against PRRSV. Therefore, it is a promising candidate vaccine for controlling and preventing PRRSV outbreaks.

Abstract
We analyzed the T-cell responses induced by lineal epitopes of glycoprotein 5 (GP5) from PRRSV to explore the role of this protein in the immunological protection mediated by T-cells. The GP5 peptides were conjugated with a carrier protein for primary immunization and booster doses. Twenty-one-day-old pigs were allocated into four groups (seven pigs per group): control (PBS), vehicle (carrier), PTC1, and PTC2. Cytokine levels were measured at 2 days post-immunization (DPI) from serum samples. Cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs, CD8+) from peripheral blood were quantified via flow cytometry at 42 DPI. The cytotoxicity was evaluated by co-culturing primed lymphocytes with PRRSV derived from an infectious clone. The PTC2 peptide increased the serum concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines (i.e., TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-8) and cytokines that activate the adaptive cellular immunity associated with T-lymphocytes (i.e., IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, and IL-12). The concentration of CTLs (CD8+) was significantly higher in groups immunized with the peptides, which suggests a proliferative response in this cell population. Primed CTLs from immunized pigs showed cytolytic activity in PRRSV-infected cells in vitro. PTC1 and PTC2 peptides induced a protective T-cell-mediated response in pigs immunized against PRRSV, due to the presence of T epitopes in their sequences.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection of pigs causes a variety of clinical manifestations, depending on the pathogenicity and virulence of the specific strain. Identification and characterization of potential determinant(s) for the pathogenicity and virulence of these strains would be an essential step to precisely design and develop effective anti-PRRSV intervention. In this study, we report the construction of an infectious clone system based on PRRSV vaccine strain SP by homologous recombination technique, and the rescue of a chimeric rSP-HUB2 strain by replacing the GP5 and M protein-coding region from SP strain with the corresponding region from a highly pathogenic strain PRRSV-HUB2. The two recombinant viruses were shown to be genetically stable and share similar growth kinetics, with rSP-HUB2 exhibiting apparent growth and fitness advantages. Compared to in cells infected with PRRSV-rSP, infection of cells with rSP-HUB2 showed significantly more inhibition of the induction of type I interferon (IFN-β) and interferon stimulator gene 56 (ISG56), and significantly more promotion of the induction of proinflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-8, ISG15 and ISG20. Further overexpression, deletion and mutagenesis studies demonstrated that amino acid residue F16 in the N-terminal region of the GP5 protein from HUB2 was a determinant for the phenotypic difference between the two recombinant viruses. This study provides evidence that GP5 may function as a potential determinant for the pathogenicity and virulence of highly pathogenic PRRSV.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a serious threat to the global swine industry. As a typical immunosuppressive virus, PRRSV has developed a variety of complex mechanisms to escape the host innate immunity. In this study, we uncovered a novel immune escape mechanism of PRRSV infection. Here, we demonstrate for the first time that the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident N-acetyltransferase Nat9 is an important host restriction factor for PRRSV infection. Nat9 inhibited PRRSV proliferation in an acetyltransferase activity-dependent manner. Mechanistically, glycoprotein 5 (GP5) of PRRSV was identified as interacting with Nat9 and being N-terminally acetylated by it, which generates a GP5 degradation signal, promoting the K27-linked-ubiquitination degradation of GP5 to decrease virion assembly. Meanwhile, the expression of Nat9 was inhibited during PRRSV infection. In detail, two transcription factors, ETV5 and SP1, were screened out as the key transcription factors binding to the core promoter region of Nat9, and the PRRSV nonstructural protein 1β (Nsp1β), Nsp4, Nsp9, and nucleocapsid (N) proteins were found to interfere significantly with the expression of ETV5 and SP1, thereby regulating the transcription activity of Nat9 and inhibiting the expression of Nat9. The findings suggest that PRRSV decreases the N-terminal acetylation of GP5 to support virion assembly by inhibiting the expression of Nat9. Taken together, our findings showed that PRRSV has developed complex mechanisms to inhibit Nat9 expression and trigger virion assembly. IMPORTANCE To ensure efficient replication, a virus must hijack or regulate multiple host factors for its own benefit. Understanding virus-host interactions and the molecular mechanisms of host resistance to PRRSV infection is necessary to develop effective strategies to control PRRSV. The N-acetyltransferase Nat9 plays important roles during virus infection. Here, we demonstrate that Nat9 exhibits an antiviral effect on PRRSV proliferation. The GP5 protein of PRRSV is targeted specifically by Nat9, which mediates GP5 N-terminal acetylation and degradation via a ubiquitination-dependent proteasomal pathway. However, PRRSV manipulates the transcription factors ETV5 and SP1 to inhibit the expression of Nat9 and promote virion assembly. Thus, we report a novel function of Nat9 in PRRSV infection and elucidate a new mechanism by which PRRSV can escape the host innate immunity, which may provide novel insights for the development of antiviral drugs.

Abstract
Recent evidences have shown that glycoprotein V (GP5) protein, which is initially considered as an important adhesion molecule unique to the megakaryocyte line, was also specifically expressed in malignant human breast epithelial cells. However, its expression level and function are not clear. This study aimed to reveal the abnormal expression of GP5 in breast cancer (BC), research the associations between the GP5 abnormal expression and BC progression, and explore the molecular mechanism of GP5 in BC. Immunohistochemistry, Western blot (WB), and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays were used to determine the expression patterns of GP5 in BC tissues and cells. The expression profiles of GP5 in the Cancer Genome Atlas databases were analyzed by UALCAN. The GP5 knockdown and over-expression BC cell lines were constructed and confirmed by RT-PCR and WB. Transcriptome sequencing and KEGG database were performed to screen cellular processes and signal pathways. Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway was verified by RT-qPCR, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) was confirmed by WB. The results indicated GP5 was highly expressed in BC tissues and might play an important role as a cancer-promoting gene in BC. The high expression of GP5 was significantly associated with higher nuclear grade, higher TNM stage, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) negativity. GP5 may promote the proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of BC cells by activating PI3K/AKT signaling pathway to up-regulate the EMT. This study provides a new idea that GP5 was expected to become a potential molecular target for early BC clinic diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Purpose With higher efficacy of cancer therapies, the numbers and types of side effects experienced by patients have also increased, evidencing a need for brief assessments of side effect bother. The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G) includes the item “I am bothered by side effects of treatment” (GP5). This study aimed to confirm GP5’s validity in a large, diverse, real-world patient sample. Methods Real-world data were drawn from 10 Adelphi Disease Specific Programmes (DSP™) conducted between 2015 and 2019 in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK and the USA, covering 10 cancer sites. We examined correlations between GP5 responses and varied measures of patient-reported global health and the number of side effects experienced. We explored whether more advanced patients and those with worse Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status Rating (ECOG PSR) reported greater side effect bother. Finally, we conducted differential item functioning (DIF) assessment using the Mantel–Haenszel approach. Results The sample included 6755 advanced cancer patients. GP5 responses were distributed similarly across most cancer sites. A moderate, negative correlation (rpolyserial = − 0.43) between GP5 responses and global health evidenced convergent validity. Known groups validity was evidenced by dichotomised distributions of GP5, showing expected results between cancer stage 2 vs. 3 and 4 and with ECOG PSR (p < 0.001). Little evidence of DIF was found. Conclusion GP5 exhibited evidence of validity across cancer sites and countries and appeared to measure the same construct across these countries. GP5 has significant promise as a summary indicator of side effect bother.

Abstract
This study aimed to analyze the effects of polymorphisms in GP5 on blood physiological indices of 1065 sheep. The coefficients of variation of the red blood cell count (RBC), hemoglobin concentration (HGB), mean platelet volume (MPV), mean erythrocyte hemoglobin content (MCH), and red blood cell distribution-coefficient of variation (RDW-CV) were greater than 10%, and there was a very significant correlation between the main indices such as RBC, white blood cell, and platelet count (PLT) and most other indices (p < 0.01). qRT-PCR showed that GP5 was expressed in the heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, rumen, duodenum, muscle, tail fat, and lymph tissue, with significantly higher expression in the lymph. Subsequently, we detected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in GP5 from group, which identified synonymous mutation g.657 T > C in the first exon of GP5. Association analysis showed significant correlations between the SNP and the physiological traits (p < 0.05), in which the RBC, neutrophilic granulocyte (NEUT) and RDW-CV values in sheep with the TC genotype and TT genotype were markedly lower than those in the CC genotype (p < 0.05). Thus, GP5 polymorphisms could be candidate biomarkers to screen blood physiological indices.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is one of the most important endemic swine pathogens, causing enormous losses in the global swine industry. Commercially available vaccines only partially prevent or counteract the virus infection and correlated losses. PRRSV's replication mechanism has not been well understood. In this study, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was screened to bind with the viral major envelope glycoprotein 5 (GP5) after PRRSV infection. The interacting sites are located within a 13-amino-acid (aa) region (aa 93 to 105) of GP5 and at Lys227 of GAPDH. Interestingly, viral GP5 restricts the translocation of GAPDH from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. Moreover, cytoplasmic GAPDH facilitates PRRSV replication by virtue of its glycolytic activity. The results suggest that PRRSV GP5 restricts GAPDH to the nucleus and exploits its glycolytic activity to stimulate virus replication. The data provide insight into the role of GAPDH in PRRSV replication and reveal a potential target for controlling viral infection. IMPORTANCE PRRSV poses a severe economic threat to the pig industry. PRRSV GP5, the major viral envelope protein, plays an important role in viral infection, pathogenicity, and immunity. However, interactions between GP5 and host proteins have not yet been well studied. Here, we show that GAPDH interacts with GP5 through binding a 13-aa sequence (aa 93 to 105) in GP5, while GP5 interacts with GAPDH at the K277 amino acid residue of GAPDH. We demonstrate that GP5 interacts with GAPDH in the cytoplasm during PPRSV infection, inhibiting GAPDH entry into the nucleus. PRRSV exploits the glycolytic activity of GAPDH to promote viral replication. These results enrich our understanding of PRRSV infection and pathogenesis and open a new avenue for antiviral prevention and PRRSV treatment strategies.

Abstract
A cold-adapted porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (CA-VR2332) was generated from the modified live virus strain VR2332. CA-VR2332 showed impaired growth when cultured at 37°C with numerous mutations (S731F, E819D, G975E, and D1014N) in the hypervariable region of the NSP2, in which the mutation S731F might play a vital role in viral replication at 30°C. Conserved amino acid sequences of the GP5 protein suggests that CA-VR2332 is a promising candidate for producing an effective vaccine against PRRSV infection. Further studies on replication and immunogenicity in vivo are required to evaluate the properties of CA-VR2332.

Abstract
As an economic devastating virus, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) has spread globally, and seriously hinders the healthy development of the swine industry worldwide. In recent years, however, recombinant PRRSV strains are continuously emerging, resulting in the death of a large number of pigs in China. In this study, we reported a NADC30-like PRRSV strain GD1909, a recombinant virus, which may originate from NADC30-like and HUN4-like strains. The GP5 protein of GD1909 strain has an asparagine insertion at position 60 and has more complex glycosylation pattern. This should be helpful for a better understanding of PRRSV molecular epidemiology and the prevention of PRRSV infection in the future.

Abstract
Infection by enveloped viruses includes endocytosis and/or membrane fusion at the plasma membrane, where host cell proteases play an essential role. Among them, elastase-mediated infection has been documented for several enveloped viruses. Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), an economically critical factor in global swine industry, is previously reported to infect host cells via low pH-dependent clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) and undergo membrane fusion in recycling endosomes. In the current study, we identified that elastase was significantly elevated in the lung tissues of highly pathogenic PRRSV (HP-PRRSV)-infected pigs compared to the mock-infected ones. We subsequently demonstrated that elastase contributed to HP-PRRSV infection in both MARC-145 cells and porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs). Mechanistically, HP-PRRSV entered host cells at the cell surface via elastase-mediated membrane fusion, independent of low pH and CME, and its glycoprotein 5 (GP5) was cleaved by the protease during this process. All these findings deepen our understanding of HP-PRRSV infection, and are beneficial for prevention and control of the disease.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is a serious viral disease affecting the global swine industry. Its causative agent, PRRS virus (PRRSV), is an enveloped virus, and therefore membrane fusion between its envelope and host cell target membrane is critical for viral infection. Though much research has focused on PRRSV infection, the detailed mechanisms involved in its membrane fusion remain to be elucidated. In the present study, we performed confocal microscopy in combination with a constitutively active (CA) or dominant negative (DN) mutant, specific inhibitors, and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), as well as multiple other approaches, to explore PRRSV membrane fusion. We first observed that PRRSV membrane fusion occurred in Rab11-recycling endosomes during early infection using labeled virions and subcellular markers. We further demonstrated that low pH and cathepsin E in Rab11-recycling endosomes are critical for PRRSV membrane fusion. Moreover, PRRSV glycoprotein 5 (GP5) is identified as being cleaved by cathepsin E during this process. Taken together, our findings provide in-depth information regarding PRRSV pathogenesis, which support a novel basis for the development of antiviral drugs and vaccines.IMPORTANCE PRRS, caused by PRRSV, is an economically critical factor in pig farming worldwide. As PRRSV is a lipid membrane-wrapped virus, merging of the PRRSV envelope with the host cell membrane is indispensable for viral infection. However, there is a lack of knowledge on its membrane fusion. Here, we first explored when and where PRRSV membrane fusion occurs. Furthermore, we determined which host cell factors were involved in the process. Importantly, PRRSV GP5 is shown to be cleaved by cathepsin E during membrane fusion. Our work not only provides information on PRRSV membrane fusion for the first time but also deepens our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of PRRSV infection, which provides a foundation for future applications in the prevention and control of PRRS.

Abstract
Prevention and control of infection by porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) remains a challenge, due to our limited understanding of the PRRSV invasion mechanism. Our previous study has shown that PRRSV glycoprotein GP5 interacts with MYH9 C-terminal domain protein (PRA). Here we defined that the first ectodomain of GP5 (GP5-ecto-1) directly interacted with PRA and this interaction triggered PRA and endogenous MYH9 to form filament assembly. More importantly, MYH9 filament assembly was also formed in GP5-ecto-1-transfected MARC-145 cells. Notably, PRRSV infection of MARC-145 cells and porcine alveolar macrophages also induced endogenous MYH9 aggregation and polymerization that were required for subsequent PRRSV internalization. Moreover, overexpression of S100A4, a MYH9-specific disassembly inducer, in MARC-145 cells significantly resulted in diminished MYH9 aggregation and marked inhibition of subsequent virion internalization and infection by both PRRSV-1 and PRRSV-2 isolates. The collective results of this work reveal a novel molecular mechanism employed by MYH9 that helps PRRSV gain entry into permissive cells.

Abstract
Background Porcine respiratory and reproductive syndrome virus (PRRSV) is one of the most economically significant pathogens in the Chinese swine industry. ORF5 and nsp2 are highly variable regions of the PRRSV genome. Therefore, nsp2 and GP5 are often selected for investigation of variations and phylogenetic analyses for their genetic diversities. Knowledge of the molecular evolution of PRRSV field strains may contribute to the control of PRRS in China. Results The results of multiple sequence alignments of GP5 showed that there is 84.5–100% aa identity among the 56 strains in this study. These strains shared 84.5–99.0% aa identity with the prototypical type 2 PRRSV VR-2332 and 56.6–59.2% with strain LV, prototypical type 1 PRRSV. Phylogenetic analysis showed there is considerable diversity among PRRSV ORF5 and the existence of two lineages (5 and 8). Most of the strains were classified into lineage 8 with multiple sub-lineages (3, 4 and 6). Moreover, PRRSV strains with 5 novel patterns of deletions or insertions in the nsp2 region were found. Conclusions Phylogenetic analysis based on ORF5 sequences indicated the diversity of PRRSV in southern parts of China and the strains with 30 aa deletion in nsp2 are dominant in the porcine population. Also, new PRRSV strains with different patterns of deletions or insertions in nsp2 are emerging. The data presented here constitute a useful basis for further epidemiological studies regarding the heterogeneity of PRRSV strains in China and provide a basis for the prevention of PRRS in southern parts of China.

Abstract
One of the main participants associated with the onset and maintenance of the porcine respiratory disease complex (PRDC) syndrome is porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), an RNA virus that has plagued the swine industry for 30 years. The development of effective PRRS vaccines, which deviate from live virus designs, would be an important step towards the control of PRRS. Potential vaccine antigens are found in the five surface proteins of the virus, which form covalent and multiple noncovalent interactions and possess hypervariable epitopes. Consequences of this complex surface structure include antigenic variability and escape from immunity, thus presenting challenges in the development of new vaccines capable of generating broadly sterilizing immunity. One potential vaccine target is the induction of antibody that disrupts the interaction between the macrophage CD163 receptor and the GP2, GP3, and GP4 heterotrimer that protrudes from the surface of the virion. Studies to understand this interaction by mapping mutations that appear following the escape of virus from neutralizing antibody identify the ectodomain regions of GP5 and M as important immune sites. As a target for antibody, GP5 possesses a conserved epitope flanked by N-glycosylation sites and hypervariable regions, a pattern of conserved epitopes shared by other viruses. Resolving this apparent conundrum is needed to advance PRRS vaccine development.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) has a high degree of genetic variation. In this study, we characterized the genetic variation and evolutionary relationships among circulating PRRSV strains in southern China. We analyzed 29 NSP2 strains and 150 ORF5 strains from clinical samples collected in southern China during 2007–2014. The alignment results showed that the nucleotide identity similarities of the two genes among these strains were 80.5%–99.7% and 80.9%–100%, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis based on the NSP2 gene showed that highly pathogenic (HP)-PRRSV was still the dominant virus in southern China from 2013 to 2014. Compared with reference strains CH-1a and VR-2332, the field strain 131101-GD-SHC, which shared high homology with JXA1-P170, had a novel 12 amino acid deletion at position 499–510. Phylogenetic analysis based on the ORF5 gene showed that HP-PRRSV, VR2332-like strains, and QYYZ-like strains were simultaneously circulating in southern China from 2007 to 2014, suggesting that, in recent years, the type 2 PRRSV was more diverse in southern China. In conclusion, mutations in the decoy epitope and primary neutralizing epitope could be markers of viral evolution and used to study evolutionary relationships among PRRSV strains in China.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is characterized by abortions in pregnant sows and respiratory disease, particularly in young pigs. The causative agent is porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), a member of the arterivirus family. GP5 and M are the major envelope proteins encoded by PRRSV. To further characterize these two viral proteins, a yeast two-hybrid approach was utilized to identify interacting partners of PRRSV GP5 and M proteins. METHODS Interacting partners of PRRSV GP5 and M were identified using a porcine macrophage cDNA library yeast two-hybrid screen. Subsequently, the interactions between PRRSV GP5/M and the cellular protein Snapin were mapped using truncated versions of the GP5 and M proteins in a yeast two-hybrid assay to localize the interactions. The Snapin gene from the African green monkey kidney cell line MARC-145, which is permissive to PRRSV, was cloned and sequenced, and compared to porcine Snapin. Cellular Snapin expression was reduced in PRRSV-infected cells via Snapin-specific siRNA targeting. RESULTS Here we show that the cellular Snap-Associated Protein (Snapin), an accessory protein of the SNARE membrane fusion network and also a member of the BLOC-1 complex, specifically interacts with GP5 and M. Inhibition of Snapin expression via siRNA targeting of Snapin results in the reduction of PRRSV replication. CONCLUSIONS The PRRSV GP5 and M proteins are known to form a heterodimeric complex which is important for viral structure and infectivity, and both PRRSV proteins can interact with cellular Snapin. Snapin knock-down suggests these interactions could be important in the PRRSV lifecycle. GP5 and M proteins may interact with Snapin to exploit its roles in intracellular transport and membrane fusion.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is an important swine pathogen causing tremendous economic losses to the swine industry. To investigate the prevalence of PRRSV of genotype 2 (North American type, NA-type) in southwestern China, the Nsp2 hypervariable region (Nsp2 HV) and ORF5 of 61 PRRS viruses collected during 2012-2016 were sequenced and analyzed. All the virus detected clustered into the JXA1-like (52/61), VR-2332-like (7/61), and NADC30-like (2/61) sub-genotypes. Five deletions in Nsp2 HV were detected in addition to the typical 30aa discontinuous deletion in HP-PRRSV, and two of these five were not reported previously. Strikingly, two PRRS virus (SCnj16 and SCcd16) isolated in 2016 contained the classic HP-PRRSV molecular marker in the Nsp2-coding region, but belonged to the NADC30-like sub-genotype on the ORF5 gene. Further recombination and phylogenetic analysis on the two complete genomic sequences revealed that they may have originated from recombination events between the NADC30 and Chinese HP-PRRSV strains. The present study suggests that the endemic PRRSVs in the region have continuously evolved and new vaccine strategies are necessary for more efficient control of the virus.

Abstract
GP5 and M, the major membrane proteins of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), are the driving force for virus budding and a target for antibodies. We studied co-translational processing of GP5 from an European PRRSV-1 strain. Using mass spectrometry, we show that in virus particles of a Lelystad variant, the signal peptide of GP5 was absent due to cleavage between glycine-34 and asparagine-35. This cleavage site removes an epitope for a neutralizing monoclonal antibody, but leaves intact another epitope recognized by neutralizing pig sera. Upon ectopic expression of this GP5 in cells, signal peptide cleavage was however inefficient. Complete cleavage occurred when cysteine-24 was changed to proline or an unused glycosylation site involving asparagine-35 was mutated. Insertion of proline at position 24 also caused carbohydrate attachment to asparagine-35. Glycosylation sites introduced downstream of residue 35 were used, but did not inhibit signal peptide processing. Co-expression of the M protein rescued this processing defect in GP5, suggesting a novel function of M towards GP5. We speculate that a complex interplay of the co-translational modifications of GP5 affect the N-terminal structure of the mature proteins and hence its antigenicity.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) causes major economic losses in the swine industry worldwide. Vaccination is the most effective method to control the disease. In a previous study, a chimeric PRRSV named as K418 which had a genome composed of ORF 1 from the FL12 strain and ORF 2-7 from the Korean representative LMY strain was created. We constructed K418DM, K418 with deglycosylated glycoprotein 5 (GP5), to improve its humoral immunity. In the follow-up on in vivo and in vitro virological and serological tests, no back mutation in amino acids of GP5 associated with deglycosylation was shown after 9 passages on MARC-145 cells, whereas only one case of back mutation was detected after single passage in pig. In serological study, K418DM induced higher serum neutralization (SN) antibody and more limited viremia compared with those of K418 virus. In clinical trial and economic analysis, the K418DM elicited SN antibody titers and PRRSV-specific IgG over protection limit. From the economic viewpoint, there was statistically significant reduction in percentage of weak pigs. These results indicated that vaccination with the K418DM may provide enhanced protection for pigs in PRRS endemic situation and increase growth performance in commercial pig farms.

Abstract
Background Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) has leaded to an enormous loss per year to the swine industry, its etiology porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a highly mutated virus in pigs. To fully understand the genetic characteristics of PRRSV genome in South China, this study collected the lung samples infected with PRRSV in Guangdong and Hainan province from 2014 to 2015 and tried to isolate the PRRSV. Finally, the complete genomes of isolated strains were sequenced and analyzed. Methods Virus isolation was performed in MARC-145 cells. The 13 fragments of PRRSV genome were amplified by RT-PCR and the complete PRRSV genome sequence was obtained by SeqMan program of DNASTAR7.0 software. Nucleotide and deduced amino acid (AA) sequences of NSP2 and ORF5 were aligned using the MegAlign program of DNASTAR7.0 software to determine sequence homology. A phylogenetic tree was constructed using MEGA5.2 software with the neighbor-joining method to analyze the evolutionary relationship. Results 11 PRRSV strains were isolated in South China from 2014 to 2015. All the isolated strains clustered into subgenotype V along with the HP-PRRSV representative strains JXA1, HuN4 and JXwn06. The subgenotype V was furtherly divided into two groups. AA sequence alignment analysis indicated that all the isolated strains had 1 AA deletion and 29 AA continuous deletion at position 481 and 533-561. Notably, GDHY strain had another 120 AA continuous deletion at position 629-748. All the isolated strains had an A137S mutation in the residue A137 of GP5 which was considered to differentiate vaccine strains. All the isolated strains had a L39I mutation in the primary neutralizing epitope (PNE) of GP5. Except GDHZ had a N34T mutation, all the other isolated strains had conserved N30, N44 and N51 glycosylation sites in the four potential N-glycosylation sites (N30, N34, N44 and N51) of GP5. Conclusions Our study showed that the prevalent strains in this region were highly pathogenic PRRS virus-like. Moreover, one new strain having another 120 amino acids continuous deletion except the discontinuous 30 (29+1) amino acids deletion in NSP2 region had emerged. Besides, the isolated strains had extensive amino acids substitutions in the putative signal, extravirion and intravirion regions of GP5. These results showed that PRRSV has undergone extensive variation in South China, providing some theoretical basis for researching effective vaccince to better controling the PRRSV in this area.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), characterized by respiratory disorders in piglets and reproductive failure in sows, is still the great threat of swine industry. Recently, Emergence of the novel NADC30-like PRRS viruses (PRRSVs) has caused widespread outbreaks of PRRS. To investigate the epidemic characteristics of PRRSVs in Central China since 2014, 6372 clinical serum samples were tested by ELISA, 250 tissue samples were tested by RT-PCR, and among these, 30 ORF5 and 17 Nsp2 genes sequences were analyzed. Phylogenetic tree based on ORF5 revealed that, 17 isolates were clustered into subgroup 1, represented by the NADC30. And for the Nsp2, The strains which had a discontinuous 131-amino-acid deletion in Nsp2, called NADC30-like strains, were clustered into subgroup 2. Our data suggested that the NADC30-like PRRSV strains spread quickly and are now circulating and prevalent in Central China as well as the classical HP-PRRSV strains. In addition, amino acid variation analysis of GP5 revealed that the amino acid sequences of NADC30-like PRRSV strains underwent rapid evolution and contained extensive amino acid substitutions in important motifs, such as potential neutralization epitope and the N-glycosylation sites. In summary, our data would provide a large amount of detailed information on molecular variation and genetic diversity of PRRSV in central China.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is one of the leading swine pathogens and causes major economic loss to the global swine industry. In this study, a total of 49 PRRSV isolates were collected from different swine herds in seven provinces in Southeast China from 2014 to 2015. All the ORF5 genes and some Nsp2 genes were sequenced. Phylogenetic analysis showed that all the isolates belonged to the North America genotype. Among them, five isolates formed a new subgenotype IV derived from highly pathogenic PRRSV (HP-PRRSV). Six isolates formed subgenotype III, which were closely related to the NADC30 strain in the US. These isolates formed 13 putative N-linked glycosylation site (NGS) patterns based on N30, 33, 34, 35, 44 and 51. There were fewer NGSs of isolates in subgenotype IV than in subgenotype III. This indicates that the two new subgenotypes of PRRSV strains with different NGS patterns were spreading in those regions of China. The genetic diversity should be considered for the control and prevention of this disease.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is the causal agent of a serious disease of swine. Here, we report the genome sequence of PRRSV strain HB-XL isolated from a pig farm with a clinical outbreak of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome. The genome is 15,323 bp long and has nine open reading frames (GenBank: KP162169). Comparative and phylogenetic analysis showed that HB-XL belongs to the highly pathogenic PRRSV (HP-PRRSV) subfamily in the family PRRSV. The viral nonstructural protein 2 (Nsp2) of the HB-XL strain contained 30 discontinuous amino acid (AA) deletions relative to that of the Nsp2 of the VR2332 strain. The AA substitutions R13 and R151 suggested high virulence of the HB-XL strain. The unique mutations in glycoprotein 5 (GP5) and Nsp2 revealed that HB-XL might be a novel variant PRRSV strain recombined with vaccine strains. However, the low morbidity and mortality in the pig herd from which HB-XL was isolated indicate that the virulence of the virus was weak, so it has potential as a future vaccine strain.

Abstract
Cell apoptosis is common after infection with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). PRRSV GP5 has been reported to induce cell apoptosis. To further understand the role of GP5 in PRRSV induced cell apoptosis, we established Marc-145 cell lines stably expressing full-length GP5, GP5(Δ84-96) (aa 84-96 deletion), and GP5(Δ97-119) (aa 97-119 deletion). Cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, cell apoptosis and virus replication in these cell lines were evaluated. Neither truncated nor full-length GP5 induced cell apoptosis in Marc-145 cells. However, GP5(Δ97-119), but not full-length or GP5(Δ84-96), induced a cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase resulting in a reduction in the growth of Marc-145 cells. Additionally, GP5(Δ84-96) inhibited the replication of PRRSV in Marc-145 cells through induction of IFN-β. These findings suggest that PRRSV GP5 is not responsible for inducing cell apoptosis in Marc-145 cells under these experimental conditions; however it has other important roles in virus/host cell biology.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a positive-sense ssRNA virus whose envelope contains four glycoproteins and three nonglycosylated proteins. Glycans of major envelope glycoprotein 5 (GP5) are proposed as important for virus assembly and entry into permissive cells. Structural characterization of GP5 glycans would facilitate the mechanistic understanding of these processes. Thus, we purified the PRRSV type 2 prototype strain, VR2332, and analyzed the virion-associated glycans by both biochemical and mass spectrometric methods. Endoglycosidase digestion showed that GP5 was the primary protein substrate, and that the carbohydrate moieties were primarily complex-type N-glycans. Mass spectrometric analysis (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS) of GP5 N-glycans revealed an abundance of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and N-acetyllactosamine (LacNAc) oligomers in addition to sialic acids. GlcNAc and LacNAc accessibility to ligands was confirmed by lectin co-precipitation. Our findings help to explain PRRSV infection of cells lacking sialoadhesin and provide a glycan database to facilitate molecular structural studies of PRRSV.

Abstract
In 2006, a highly pathogenic strain of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (HP-PRRSV) emerged in China and caused lasting damage to the swine industry. To analyze the genetic variation of PRRSV in Southern China, 126 tissue samples were collected; 41 ORF5 and partial Nsp2 genes were sequenced and analyzed. The results showed that the PRRSV positive rate was 32.54% over the last four years, that there are two main subgenotypes in Southern China, and that the dominant strain is HP-PRRSV. An amino acid analysis of Nsp2 showed that 40 strains contained a 30-amino acid deletion in the hypervariable region. However, the 13YJ6-8 mutant exhibited a unique amino acid deletion at positions 508-514 of Nsp2. A phylogenetic analysis of ORF5 revealed that this mutant and five other strains, belong to an intermediate subgenotype (inter-subgenotype), which is characterized by extensive mutations, especially in the signal peptide and N-glycosylation sites. The results of this study demonstrate the genetic diversity of PRRSV in Southern China and provide basic knowledge of the PRRSV epidemic in this region.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) causes significant economic losses to the swine industry worldwide. Although inactivated and live vaccines are commercially available for the control of PRRS, both types of vaccine have not always proven successful in terms of generating a protective immune response, particularly in the case of inactivated vaccines. In this study, we tested whether an inactivated vaccine could induce a humoral immune response to PRRS during a homologous challenge. Amino acid substitutions were introduced into glycoprotein (GP) 5 of the FL12 strain of the PRRS virus (PRRSV) using site-directed mutagenesis with a pFL12 infectious clone. The substitutions led to double deglycosylation in the putative glycosylation moieties on GP5. The mutant virus was subsequently inactivated with binary ethylenimine. The efficacy of the inactivated mutant virus was compared with that of the inactivated wild-type PRRSV. Only the inactivated mutant PRRSV induced serum neutralizing antibodies at six weeks post-vaccination. The group that was administered the inactivated mutant virus twice exhibited a significantly increased neutralizing antibody titer after a challenge with the virulent homologous strain and exhibited more rapid clearing of viremia compared to other groups, including the groups that were administered either the inactivated mutant or wild-type virus only once and the group that was administered the inactivated wild-type virus twice. Histopathological examination of lung tissue sections revealed that the group that was administered the inactivated mutant virus twice exhibited significantly thinner alveolar septa, whereas the thickness of the alveolar septa of the other groups were markedly increased due to lymphocyte infiltration. These results indicated that the deglycosylation of GP5 enhanced the immunogenicity of the inactivated mutant PRRSV and that twice administrations of the inactivated mutant virus conferred better protection against the homologous challenge. These findings suggest that the inactivated PRRSV that expresses a hypo-glycosylated GP5 is a potential inactivated vaccine candidate and a valuable tool for controlling PRRS for the swine industry.

Abstract
Currently, killed-virus and modified-live porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) vaccines are used to control porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome. However, both types of vaccines have inherent drawbacks; accordingly, the development of novel PRRSV vaccines is urgently needed. Previous studies have suggested that yeast possesses adjuvant activities, and it has been used as an expression vehicle to elicit immune responses to foreign antigens. In this report, recombinant Kluyveromyces lactis expressing GP5 of HP-PRRSV (Yeast-GP5) was generated and immune responses to this construct were analyzed in mice. Intestinal mucosal PRRSV-specific sIgA antibody and higher levels of IFN-γ in spleen CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were induced by oral administration of Yeast-GP5. Additionally, Yeast-GP5 administered subcutaneously evoked vigorous cell-mediated immunity, and PRRSV-specific lymphocyte proliferation and IFN-γ secretion were detected in the splenocytes of mice. These results suggest that Yeast-GP5 has the potential for use as a vaccine for PRRSV in the future.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) has proven to be highly genetically variable; however, comprehensive information regarding the virus's genetic diversity in South China is limited. In this study, a total of 3199 clinical samples were collected from 267 pig farms suspected of PRRSV infection between 2007 and 2011. The ORF5 genes of 51 PRRSV-positive samples were sequenced and analyzed. The 51 study strains were divided into three primary subgenotypes. Fourty-five of the strains belonged to subgenotype I and were closely related to the highly pathogenic PRRSV (HP-PRRSV) strains. The subgenotype I strains were generally clustered into genetically similar groups by year. Only one of the strains belonged to subgenotype II, clustering with the classical North American type, VR2332. Five of the strains were grouped into subgenotype III, which occupied a separate branch and was closely related to the recently isolated novel field strains, QYYZ and GM2. The 5 subgenotype III strains shared an amino acid identity with the remaining 46 study strains ranging from 79.6%-83.6%. Amino acid analysis showed extensive mutations in subgenotype III; the diverse genetic mutations of these novel strains are of great concern.
