摘要
The genomic RNA of louping ill virus coding for capsid, premembrane, membrane, and envelope proteins was cloned and sequenced. Hydrophilicity profiles of the deduced amino acid sequence shared homologous functional domains with other flaviviruses. The premembrane and envelope proteins contain N-glycosylation sites and conserved cysteine residues which are important for maintaining the secondary structures of the proteins. Sequence comparisons of louping ill envelope protein showed greater homology with tick-borne than mosquito-borne flaviviruses and greater homology with the western than the far eastern subtype of tick-borne encephalitis virus. With the capsid and membrane proteins, the degree of homology between louping ill and the western subtype was greater than that between the two subtypes, indicating very close evolutionary relationships between louping ill and the western subtype of tick-borne encephalitis. Thus, louping ill and tick-borne encephalitis may be varieties of a common tick-borne ancestral virus. The average amino acid sequence diversity between members of the tick-borne serogroup was significantly lower than that of mosquito-borne serogroups, suggesting that tick-borne flaviviruses have been subjected to different evolutionary immune selection pressure from the mosquito-borne viruses. Using the published model of tick-borne encephalitis envelope protein and our sequence data on louping ill virus, we have identified three discontinuous peptides (amino acids 81-88, 207-212, and 230-234) which may represent critical molecular determinants within the receptor binding site of tick-borne flaviviruses and may provide a specific genetic marker for these viruses. © 1991.
