The emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) in 2002 and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) in 2012 has generated enormous interest in the biodiversity, genomics and cross-species transmission potential of coronaviruses, especially those from bats, the second most speciose order of mammals. Herein, we identified a novel coronavirus, provisionally designated Rousettus bat coronavirus GCCDC1 (Ro-BatCoV GCCDC1), in the rectal swab samples of Rousettus leschenaulti bats by using pan-coronavirus RT-PCR and next-generation sequencing. Although the virus is similar to Rousettus bat coronavirus HKU9 (Ro-BatCoV HKU9) in genome characteristics, it is sufficiently distinct to be classified as a new species according to the criteria defined by the International Committee of Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV). More striking was that Ro-BatCoV GCCDC1 contained a unique gene integrated into the 3’-end of the genome that has no homologs in any known coronavirus, but which sequence and phylogeny analyses indicated most likely originated from the p10 gene of a bat orthoreovirus. Subgenomic mRNA and cellular-level observations demonstrated that the p10 gene is functional and induces the formation of cell syncytia. Therefore, here we report a putative heterologous inter-family recombination event between a single-stranded, positive-sense RNA virus and a double-stranded segmented RNA virus, providing insights into the fundamental mechanisms of viral evolution. Recombination is commonly reported in coronaviruses, and is an important mechanism by which these viruses generate genetic diversity. To date, however, most such recombination events involve homologous sequences among related viruses. We discovered a novel bat coronavirus that possesses a divergent but functional p10 gene that likely originated from, or shared the ancestry with, an ancestral non-enveloped orthoreovirus, thereby representing the outcome of heterologous recombination. We report herein a fusion-associated small transmembrane (FAST) protein encoded in an enveloped virus that arose through a putative inter-family recombination between a single-stranded, positive-sense RNA virus and a double-stranded segmented RNA virus. These findings shed important new light on the mechanisms of viral evolution and particularly the importance and scope of heterologous recombination.
