项目摘要

Intellectual Merit. RNA viruses are among the most challenging infectious agents. Some RNA viruses cause serious diseases in human beings, while other RNA viruses do so to livestock or to crop plants. One of the main problems limiting the control of RNA viruses is rapid change of their genetic information which leads to constant emergence of new viral strains. RNA recombination involves the exchange of viral RNA fragments and the strategies of RNA recombination are key tools needed for RNA viruses to secure their fast adaptation and evolution. In contrast to genetic recombination of DNA-based organisms including DNA viruses, RNA recombination in RNA viruses is not well studied. The Brome mosaic virus (BMV) system is an excellent well-elaborated model for the understanding of basic mechanisms of RNA recombination. In this project the research will focus on the characterization of the molecular factors that are responsible for efficient homologous BMV RNA-RNA crossovers. The project takes advantage of a previously localized region on the BMV RNA molecule that supports unusually high frequency of recombination (defined as the RNA3 intercistronic recombination hot-spot or "sgp") as well as a recently discovered novel subgenomic (sg) BMV RNA (named as "sgRNA3a") in order to elucidate which of the known multiple functions of the sgp is responsible for recombination. The experimental design of this project relies on testing of the modified BMV RNA3 constructs in a variety of both in vitro and in vivo assays. The intellectual merit of the project lies in its investigation of the roles of sgRNA molecules in a model RNA virus system. These studies will provide the scientists with new information about molecular strategies that are utilized by RNA viruses to condition the efficient genetic recombination. Results from these studies will contribute to a more integrated picture of recombination mechanisms that will be applicable to other RNA viruses.Broader impacts of the project. This project will contribute significantly to our knowledge about viral molecular adaptations, and will help to draw analogies between DNA and RNA genetics, by using the BMV model system. BMV is a member of a larger RNA virus super-family, and its molecular strategies are common among other viruses. This research will provide students with hands-on training in the important areas of biochemistry, molecular biology, plant biology, and virology. The principal investigator teaches a molecular virology course and this work will train young virologists. Also, the principal investigator teaches an advanced course entitled "The RNA World". The principal investigator has a long record of undergraduate training including those from underrepresented groups. All the students will be encouraged to present their research at scientific meetings (e.g., Sigma Xi, American Society of Plant Biologists, American Society for Virology). The principal investigator's group maintains collaborations with the University of Chicago and with an Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry in Poznan, Poland, and keeps active contacts with several international virology groups. These interactions will enhance the exposure of the students to the international environment. The principal investigator is making efforts to disseminate science by translation of English works (has translated into Polish language a book by Matt Ridley "Red Queen, sex and evolution of human nature"). In general, social benefits of this project rely upon improvement of our understanding of RNA recombination in RNA viruses which will provide new potential means for control of these important infectious agents. It will also raise the scientific literacy of the public via outreach activities. By learning how to predict recombination hot-spots scientists will be able to design more stable viral vectors as important biotechnology tools.
智力优势。RNA病毒是最具挑战性的感染因子之一。一些RNA病毒会导致人类严重疾病,而另一些RNA病毒则会对牲畜或农作物造成影响。 限制RNA病毒控制的主要问题之一是其遗传信息的快速变化,这导致新病毒株的不断出现。 RNA重组涉及病毒RNA片段的交换,RNA重组策略是RNA病毒确保其快速适应和进化所需的关键工具。 与包括DNA病毒在内的基于DNA的生物体的遗传重组相反,RNA病毒中的RNA重组没有得到很好的研究。 雀麦花叶病毒(BMV)系统是理解RNA重组基本机制的一个极好的精心设计的模型。 在本项目中,研究将集中在负责有效同源BMV RNA-RNA交叉的分子因子的表征上。 该项目利用BMV RNA分子上支持异常高频率重组的先前定位区域(定义为RNA 3顺反子间重组热点或“sgp”)以及最近发现的新亚基因组(sg)BMV RNA(命名为“sgRNA 3a”),以阐明sgp的已知多种功能中的哪一种负责重组。 该项目的实验设计依赖于在多种体外和体内测定中对修饰的BMV RNA 3构建体的测试。该项目的智力价值在于其对sgRNA分子在模型RNA病毒系统中的作用的研究。这些研究将为科学家提供有关RNA病毒用于调节有效遗传重组的分子策略的新信息。 这些研究的结果将有助于更全面地了解重组机制,并适用于其他RNA病毒。 该项目将大大有助于我们对病毒分子适应性的了解,并将有助于通过使用BMV模型系统在DNA和RNA遗传学之间进行类比。 BMV是一个较大的RNA病毒超家族的成员,其分子策略在其他病毒中是常见的。这项研究将为学生提供生物化学,分子生物学,植物生物学和病毒学重要领域的实践培训。首席研究员教授分子病毒学课程,这项工作将培养年轻的病毒学家。此外,首席研究员还教授一门名为“RNA世界”的高级课程。主要研究者有很长的本科培训记录,包括那些来自代表性不足的群体。 鼓励所有学生在科学会议上展示他们的研究成果(例如,Sigma Xi,美国植物生物学家学会,美国病毒学学会)。主要研究者小组与芝加哥大学和波兰波兹南的生物有机化学研究所保持合作,并与几个国际病毒学小组保持积极联系。这些互动将加强学生对国际环境的接触。首席研究员正在努力通过翻译英语作品来传播科学(已将马特·里德利(Matt Ridley)的一本书《红皇后、性与人性的进化》翻译成波兰语)。总的来说,该项目的社会效益依赖于我们对RNA病毒中RNA重组的理解的提高,这将为控制这些重要的传染性病原体提供新的潜在手段。 它还将通过外展活动提高公众的科学素养。通过学习如何预测重组热点,科学家将能够设计更稳定的病毒载体作为重要的生物技术工具。
