Exchange of genetic sequences of long terminal repeat and the env gene by a promiscuous primate type D retrovirus.

Abstract:

:Squirrel monkey retrovirus (SMRV) is a New World primate type D retrovirus. It was shown that SMRV-related sequences could be detected in another New World species, the skunk. It was further suggested that SMRV and an Old World primate type C retrovirus, baboon endogenous virus (BaEV), may have exchanged their env gene sequences. In this study, we sought to understand which sequences were exchanged between the genomic DNAs of SMRV and skunk. We also sought to determine the sequences exchanged between SMRV and BaEV. Here, we demonstrate that the long terminal repeat of SMRV is present in the skunk genome. We also show, by nucleotide sequence analysis, that the env gene that encodes the p15E glycoprotein of BaEV was most likely transduced from the corresponding gene of a primate type D retrovirus. Our results demonstrate that SMRV is a promiscuous virus with its pol gene homologous to the pol genes of type A, type B and avian type C viruses and a portion of its env gene homologous to the env genes of primate type C retroviruses. However, the primer binding sequence is unique to type D retroviruses. These kinds of recombination are likely to occur more than once in the evolution of retroviruses. The promiscuous nature of retroviruses and the recent incidence of unintended retroviral integration into a gene therapy patient underscore the importance of understanding how retroviral sequences are recombined among themselves and how they are integrated into the mammalian genome.
