Extensive retroviral diversity in sharkHan, G. Z. January 2015 (has links)
BACKGROUND: Retroviruses infect a wide range of vertebrates. However, little is known about the diversity of retroviruses in basal vertebrates. Endogenous retrovirus (ERV) provides a valuable resource to study the ecology and evolution of retrovirus. FINDINGS: I performed a genome-scale screening for ERVs in the elephant shark (Callorhinchus milii) and identified three complete or nearly complete ERVs and many short ERV fragments. I designate these retroviral elements "C. milli ERVs" (CmiERVs). Phylogenetic analysis shows that the CmiERVs form three distinct lineages. The genome invasions by these retroviruses are estimated to take place more than 50 million years ago. CONCLUSIONS: My results reveal the extensive retroviral diversity in the elephant shark. Diverse retroviruses appear to have been associated with cartilaginous fishes for millions of years. These findings have important implications in understanding the diversity and evolution of retroviruses.

Endogenous Betaretroviruses in the Ovine Uterus and ConceptusBlack, Sarah Grace 2010 August 1900 (has links)
Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) comprise a significant portion of the genome of
all mammals and have been implicated in placental development in multiple species.
The ovine genome contains approximately 27 copies of endogenous betaretroviruses
(enJSRVs) that are related to the exogenous Jaagsiekte sheep retrovirus (JSRV), an
oncogenic retrovirus tropic to the lung. The enJSRV loci are abundantly expressed in
the female reproductive tract and the conceptus, and they are essential to conceptus
development.
Studies were conducted to determine: 1) the effect of exogenous progesterone
administration on conceptus development after loss of enJSRV Env; 2) the specific
enJSRV env expressed in the developing conceptus; and 3) if the uterus produces
enJSRV viral particles that are capable of transducing the conceptus.
Study One determined the effects of exogenous progesterone on development of
the conceptus in which enJSRV Env was ablated. Despite rescuing conceptus survival,
the conceptuses were morphologically fragile and had reduced binucleate cell (BNC)
numbers. These results suggest that mononuclear trophectoderm cell (MTC) proliferation and differentiation is dependent on enJSRV Env, even in a uterine
environment supported by exogenous progesterone.
Study Two assessed the enJSRV loci transcribed in the ovine conceptus during
elongation before (day 13) and after (day 18) onset of BNC differentiation. The most
represented loci in both day 13 and day 18 conceptuses encoded truncated Env proteins
that did not contain membrane-spanning domains. Conceptuses from both time points
contained evidence of the transcription of full-length, biologically active enJSRV Env,
as well as completely intact proviral loci with the ability to produce viral particles in
vitro.
Study Three utilized a transpecies embryo transfer experiment to determine if the
intact enJSRVs loci could produce viral particles in vivo. The presence of enJSRV viral
particles in the uterus was confirmed, as was their ability to transduce the conceptus.
Collectively, these studies provide evidence of truncated Env proteins, intact
biologically active Env proteins, and enJSRVs viral particles within the ovine uterus and
conceptus that are necessary to stimulate proliferation and differentiation of MTCs even
in a uterine environment supported by exogenous progesterone.

Interakce savčích endogennich retrovirů a jejich hostitelů / Host-virus interactions of mammalian endogenous retrovirusesFarkašová, Helena January 2017 (has links)
Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) originate by germline infection and subsequent mendelian inheritance of their exogenous counterparts. With notable exceptions, all mammalian ERVs are evolutionarily old and fixed in the population of its host species. Some groups of retroviruses were believed not to be able to form endogenous copies. We discovered an additional endogenous Lentivirus and a first endogenous Deltaretrovirus. Both of these groups were previously considered unable to form endogenous copies. Endogenous lentiviruses were discovered only recently and are still quite rare. These are still just small pieces of evidence insufficient to give a broader picture about the history of virus endogenization. We described a novel endogenous Lentivirus in the genome of Malayan colugo (Galeopterus variegatus) denoted ELVgv (endogenous Lentivirus of G. variegatus). Based on several analyses we proved that this is the oldest Lentivirus discovered up to date and confirmed its presence in the only other extant species of Dermoptera - Cynocephalus volans. Endogenous deltaretroviruses were the last group without a single endogenous member. We detected the remnants of endogenous Deltaretrovirus in the genome of Natal Long-fingered bat (Miniopterus natalensis). However, this sequence was present in the genome only in one...
