Q: The production of functional nidovirus replication-transcription complexes involves extensive proteolytic processing by virus-encoded proteases. In this study, we characterized the viral main protease (M pro ) of the type species, White bream virus (WBV), of the newly established genus Bafinivirus (order Nidovirales, family Coronaviridae, subfamily Torovirinae). Comparative sequence analysis and mutagenesis data confirmed that the WBV M pro is a picornavirus 3C-like serine protease that uses a Ser-His-Asp catalytic triad embedded in a predicted two-␤-barrel fold, which is extended by a third domain at its C terminus. Bacterially expressed WBV M pro autocatalytically released itself from flanking sequences and was able to mediate proteolytic processing in trans. Using N-terminal sequencing of autoproteolytic processing products we tentatively identified Gln2(Ala, Thr) as a substrate consensus sequence. Mutagenesis data provided evidence to suggest that two conserved His and Thr residues are part of the S1 subsite of the enzyme's substrate-binding pocket. Interestingly, we observed two N-proximal and two C-proximal autoprocessing sites in the bacterial expression system. The detection of two major forms of M pro , resulting from processing at two different N-proximal and one C-proximal site, in WBV-infected epithelioma papulosum cyprini cells confirmed the biological relevance of the biochemical data obtained in heterologous expression systems. To our knowledge, the use of alternative M pro autoprocessing sites has not been described previously for other nidovirus M pro domains. The data presented in this study lend further support to our previous conclusion that bafiniviruses represent a distinct group of viruses that significantly diverged from other phylogenetic clusters of the order Nidovirales. Cell culture and propagation of virus. Epithelioma papulosum cyprini (EPC) cells (RIE173) were obtained from the cell culture collection of the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut (Greifswald-Insel Riems, Germany). They were grown in minimum essential medium with Earle's salts, 25 mM HEPES, GlutaMAX I (Invitrogen, catalog no. 42360-024) supplemented with 1 mM sodium pyruvate (Invitrogen, catalog no. 11360-039) and 10% fetal bovine serum (PAA Laboratories) at 27°C in a 5% CO 2 atmosphere. WBV isolate DF24/00 (23) was propagated on EPC cells at 20°C. Construction and mutagenesis of expression plasmids. Plasmids were generated by using standard cloning procedures. All PCR products were generated by using Pfu polymerase (Promega) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The correct sequences of the inserts were verified by sequencing using a BigDye Terminator v3.1 cycle sequencing kit (Applied Biosystems). To generate pMal-WBV-3424-3725-GST and pMal-WBV-3424-3725_S3589A-GST, the coding sequence for the WBV pp1a/pp1ab amino acid residues Gln-3424 to Met-3725 was amplified by using the primers MalE24 (5Ј-GGTCGTCAGACTGTCGATGAA GCC-3Ј) and M pro _BbsI (5Ј-AATAAGAAGACTGTTGTTAACTGGTGATG TGAGTGT-3Ј) and pMal-WBV-3CL_559-560 or pMal-WBV-3CL_S3589A (38) as a template, while the Schistosoma japonicum glutathione S-transferase (GST) coding sequence was amplified from pCITE-GST (44) by using the primers GSTup_BsaI (5Ј-AAAAGGTCTCTACAACATGAGCCCTATACTAGGTTA TTGG-3Ј) and GSTdn_BamHI (5Ј-AAAGGATCCTTAACGCGGAACCAGA TCCGATTTTGG-3Ј). The resulting PCR products were digested with BbsI and BsaI, respectively, and subsequently ligated by using T4 DNA ligase (New England Biolabs [NEB]). The resulting pp1a-3424-3725-GST fusion sequence was amplified by using MalE24 and GSTdn_BamHI, digested with SacI and BamHI, and ligated with SacI/BamHI-digested pMal-c2X plasmid DNA (NEB). To construct pMal-WBV-M pro -CHis, the coding region for pp1a/pp1ab amino acids Gln-3424 to Thr-3707 was amplified from pMal-pp1a-3424-3725-GST by using the primers JZ559 (5Ј-TCAGCATCAGAATGCATTCTGTAT-3Ј) and RU32 (5Ј-TTTGGATCCTTAGTGATGGTGATGGTGATGTGTTACTGGT GCTACTGGGAG-3Ј). The resulting PCR product was phosphorylated by using T4 polynucleotide kinase (PNK; NEB), digested with EcoRI and ligated with XmnI/EcoRI-digested pMal-c2X plasmid DNA (NEB). The inserts for plasmids pMal-WBV-N1-C1, pMal-WBV-N1-C2, pMal-WBV-N2-C1, and pMal-WBV-N2-C2 were amplified from pMal-WBV-3424-3725_S3589A-GST with the primers RU36 (5Ј-GCCCTCCAACGTATCAGAC AAGC-3Ј) in combination with RU177 (5Ј-ATAGAATTCTTATTGTCTGGT GATGGTGTTAC-3Ј), RU36 in combination with RU191 (5Ј-AAAGGATCCT TATTGTCCTACTGTGACAGATGT-3Ј), RU37 (5Ј-GCAGTCACAGTTGTT GTAACAC-3Ј) in combination with RU177, and RU37 in combination with RU191, respectively. The 5Ј termini of the resulting PCR products were phosphorylated by using PNK. The inserts for pMal-WBV-N1-C1 and pMal-WBV-N2-C1 were digested with EcoRI and then ligated with XmnI/EcoRI-digested pMal-c2X plasmid DNA. The inserts for pMal-WBV-N1-C2 and pMal-WBV-N2-C2 were digested with BamHI and ligated with XmnI/BamHI-digested pMal-c2X plasmid DNA. Site-directed mutagenesis of plasmid constructs was carried out by PCR-based methods essentially as described previously (28, 55) .

Escherichia coli TB1 (NEB) cells transformed with pMal-pp1a-3424-3725-GST or pMal-pp1a-3424-3725_S3589A-GST were grown in Luria-Bertani (LB) medium containing ampicillin at a concentration of 100 g per ml until the culture reached an optical density at 600 nm (OD 600 ) of

Q: Background: Influenza-like illness (ILI) may be caused by a variety of pathogens. Clinical observations are of little help to recognise myxovirus infection and implement appropriate prevention measures. The limited use of molecular tools underestimates the role of other common pathogens. Objectives: During the early weeks of the 2009-2010 flu pandemic, a clinical and virological survey was conducted in adult and paediatric patients with ILI referred to two French University hospitals in Paris and Tours. Aims were to investigate the different pathogens involved in ILI and describe the associated symptoms. Methods: H1N1v pandemic influenza diagnosis was performed with real time RT-PCR assay. Other viral aetiologies were investigated by the molecular multiplex assay RespiFinder19H. Clinical data were collected prospectively by physicians using a standard questionnaire. Results: From week 35 to 44, endonasal swabs were collected in 413 patients. Overall, 68 samples (16.5%) were positive for H1N1v. In 13 of them, other respiratory pathogens were also detected. Among H1N1v negative samples, 213 (61.9%) were positive for various respiratory agents, 190 in single infections and 23 in mixed infections. The most prevalent viruses in H1N1v negative single infections were rhinovirus (62.6%), followed by parainfluenza viruses (24.2%) and adenovirus (5.3%). 70.6% of H1N1v cases were identified in patients under 40 years and none after 65 years. There was no difference between clinical symptoms observed in patients infected with H1N1v or with other pathogens. Our results highlight the high frequency of non-influenza viruses involved in ILI during the pre-epidemic period of a flu alert and the lack of specific clinical signs associated with influenza infections. Rapid diagnostic screening of a large panel of respiratory pathogens may be critical to define and survey the epidemic situation and to provide critical information for patient management.

Q: Flaviviridae family that has been known to circulate for decades causing mild febrile illness. the more recent ZiKV outbreaks in the Americas and the caribbean associated with congenital malformations and Guillain-Barré syndrome in adults have placed public health officials in high alert and highlight the significant impact of ZIKV on human health. New technologies to study the biology of ZIKV and to develop more effective prevention options are highly desired. in this study we demonstrate that direct delivery in mice of an infectious ZiKV cDnA clone allows the rescue of recombinant (r)ZiKV in vivo. A bacterial artificial chromosome containing the sequence of ZIKV strain Paraiba/2015 under the control of the cytomegalovirus promoter was complexed with a commercial transfection reagent and administrated using different routes in type-I interferon receptor deficient A129 mice. Clinical signs and death associated with ZIKV viremia were observed in mice. the rZiKV recovered from these mice remained fully virulent in a second passage in mice. interestingly, infectious rZiKV was also recovered after intraperitoneal inoculation of the rZiKV cDnA in the absence of transfection reagent. further expanding these studies, we demonstrate that a single intraperitoneal inoculation of a cDnA clone encoding an attenuated rZiKV was safe, highly immunogenic, and provided full protection against lethal ZiKV challenge. this novel in vivo reverse genetics method is a potentially suitable delivery platform for the study of wild-type and liveattenuated ZiKV devoid of confounding factors typical associated with in vitro systems. Moreover, our results open the possibility of employing similar in vivo reverse genetic approaches for the generation of other viruses and, therefore, change the way we will use reverse genetics in the future. Zika virus (ZIKV), a member of the Flaviviridae family, became a global public concern because of the correlation of Zika virus epidemic with fetal developmental defects, including highly publicized cases of microcephaly 1 . The viral genome is made of a positive sense, single-stranded RNA molecule (~10.8 kb) that contains a single open reading frame flanked by 5′ and 3′ untranslated regions 2-4 . The viral RNA is translated as a single polyprotein that is co-and post-translationally processed by viral and cellular proteases into three major structural proteins (capsid, pre-membrane and envelope) involved in viral entry, fusion and assembly 5 , and seven non-structural (NS) proteins (NS1, NS2A, NS2B, NS3, NS4A, NS4B and NS5) that are involved in viral RNA replication and transcription, assembly and evasion of the host antiviral responses [6] [7] [8] [9] . Although the majority of ZIKV infections are asymptomatic or associated with a mild febrile illness, infection during pregnancy has been associated with miscarriage and severe congenital malformations, including fetal
