英文摘要
Pathogens produce an enornrious variety of factors that interact with host components to promote infections.
Many such factors resemble or mimic host proteins. Proteins involved in these host-pathogen interactions
are some ofthe most rapidly evolving factors in genomes. Yet little is known about the consequences ofthis
rapid evolution on host-pathogen relationships. This research program aims to examine rapid evolution of
interacting host and pathogen proteins by focusing on the model poxvirus, vaccinia. Aim 1 investigates the
origins and evolution of a fast evolving poxvirus protein called K3L that mimics the substrate ofthe anti-viral
Protein kinase R (PKR) to disrupt anti-viral activity. Evolutionary analysis will guide the reconstruction of
ancestral K3L variants, while cellular assays and experimental viral infections will test the potency ofthese
reconstructed evolutionary steps. Aim 2 investigates the evolution of K3L from smallpox, a devastating
human pathogen. Experiments focusing on K3L sensitivity to PKR from rodents will test the hypothesis that
smallpox emerged from a specific rodent host. Aim 3 ofthis program entails experimental evolution of
vaccinia virus in different host cell lines. Vaccinia will be repeatedly passaged in cell lines under controlled
conditions and monitored for genomic changes and potential adaptations. This aim, along with Aim 2, will be
initiated during the K99 phase ofthe project, and will provide extensive data on evolutionary adaptations
between interacting host and pathogen factors. The data generated from these experiments will be the
foundation of continuing projects proposed in Aim 1 and Aim 3 that will be conducted during the
independent phase ofthe project. All the experimental aims ofthis program will develop important skills for
establishing an independent research laboratory. This investigation ofthe evolutionary dynamics between
interacting host and pathogen factors will provide new insights into the evolutionary strategies of poxviruses,
a potentially dangerous class of pathogens poised for natural epidemics and/or use as agents of
bio-terrorism.
