Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) MN-1b strain open reading frame 4 (ORF4) has been cloned, sequenced, and expressed in Escherichia coli. The homologies of nucleotide and amino acid sequences between MN-1b (US isolate) and LV (European isolate) are 69% and 64%, respectively. The data also showed that ORF4 of MN-1b is 36 bases shorter than that of LV. Western blot analysis of expressed recombinant ORF4 protein reacted with 65% (26/40) of PRRSV-infected pig sera tested. These results demonstrated that ORF4 of PRRSV may not be a well-conserved region.

ABSTRACT Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) open reading frame 50 (ORF50) encodes a viral transcriptional activator which stimulates the transcription of viral early and late genes of KSHV. Here we show that ORF50 represses transcriptional activity of p53 and p53-induced apoptosis through interaction with CREB binding protein (CBP). This inhibitory effect of ORF50 on the transcriptional activity of p53 was relieved by the addition of CBP. ORF50 mutants, which are defective in interaction with CBP, lost the inhibitory effects on p53. Our data provide a framework for delineating the regulatory mechanisms used by KSHV to modulate cellular transcription and the cell cycle.

ABSTRACT We sequenced the complete genome of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) strain JX/CH/2016. Phylogenetic analysis based on the sequences of the open reading frame 5 (ORF5) gene revealed that this strain belongs to subgenotype IV. This is the first report of the complete genome sequence of PRRSV-IV.
