The application belongs to the field of
biology and particularly relates to a VP3
protein mutant recombinant Seneca
virus strain and construction and application thereof. It is found for the first time that the
lysine at the 82nd position of the VP3
protein of the Seneca
virus is a key
amino acid for regulating translation arrest, and after the site is mutated to
alanine, the translation inhibition function of the VP3
protein is significantly weakened; further, through a
molecular cloning technique, an infectious clone of the VP3 protein at the 82nd site is successfully constructed, and a corresponding
recombinant virus strain rSVA VP3-K82A is rescued; compared with the
wild type SVA, the
virus proliferation ability of the
recombinant virus strain is decreased, the virus
titer is reduced, the
immune escape ability is reduced, and the influence on the
translation function of the host is weakened; not only does it provide a key tool for in-depth analysis of the functional mechanism of the VP3 protein in the virus
replication cycle and
immune escape, but also serves as a candidate strain of
attenuated live vaccine, and provides a new idea for the development of Seneca virus prevention and control strategies.
