| Abstract: | In order to investigate the genetic variation of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) strain GZ-R and the characteristics of NSP2 gene,in this study,two specific primers were designed based on NSP2 gene for nested RT-PCR,cloning and sequence analysis of the target gene.The results showed that the second round of nested PCR not only amplified the expected band of about 3 000 bp,but also amplified another band of 1 200 bp.The two DNA fragments were cloned into the pMD19-T vector,and two fragments were obtained by sequencing.The large fragment was 2 980 bp long and named as GZR-NSP2-L.The small fragment was 1 131 bp long and named as GZR-NSP2-S.The homology comparison results of the two fragments showed that GZR-NSP2-S had GZR-NSP2-L N-terminal nucleotide 1-945 and C-terminal 2 795-2 980 nucleotide,and lack of nucleotide between bits 946-2 794 in GZR-NSP2-L.The nucleotide homology of GZR-NSP2-L with VR-2332 strain and Lelystad virus strain was 81.2% and 48.6%.The results of homology comparison of encoded amino acids were consistent with the results of nucleotide homology,revealing that the PRRSV GZ-R strain belonged to the American-type strain.Comparison of amino acid deletion sites revealed that GZ-R NSP2 had 30 discontinuous amino acid deletions at positions 481 and 533-561.The deletion sites were consistent with PRRSV highly pathogenic strains.In summary,the PRRSV GZ-R strain could be identified as American-type highly pathogenic strain.The experimental results could provide some references for further exploring the epidemic trend of PRRSV in Guizhou province and the mechanism of NSP2 in PRRSV replication. |
