| Abstract |
Rotavirus clones A5-10 and A5-16 isolated from a bovine rotavirus strain A5 possess NSP1 gene which has a point mutation generating a nonsense codon and a 500 base-deletion, respectively. As a result, the two A5 clones encode truncated NSP1 product which lacks cysteine-rich region forming zinc finger motif. In order to analyze reassortment of these mutated NSP1 gene with RNA segments from heterologous strains, we investigated a number of reassortant clones derived from coinfection with either A5-10, A5-16 or a reference strain A5-13 (possessing intact NSP1 gene) and either simian rotavirus SA11 or human rotavirus KU. In coinfection with SA11 and A5-13, selection rates of A5-13 segments in reassortants ranged approximately from 20 to 70% (46% for NSP1 gene). In contrast, in the reassortment between SA11 and A5-10 or between SA11 and A5-16, selection rates of NSP1 gene from A5-10 and A5-16 were only 1% (one clone) and 0%, respectively. In reassortants from crosses KU x A5-clones, selection rate of A5-13 NSP1 gene decreased to 15%, while 11 reassortants with A5-10 NSP1 gene (31%) and one reassortant with A5-16 NSP1 gene (2%) were isolated. Reassortants with A5-10 NSP1 possessed a single gene (segment 9 or 11) from KU in the genetic background of A5-10. One reassortant clone (cl-55) with A5-16 NSP1 gene possessed KU gene segments 3, 4, and 8-11. When single-step growth curves were compared, the reassortant cl-55 showed almost identical growth curve to that of KU, while KU showed a better replication than A5-16. These results indicated that although A5-10 or A5-16 NSP1 gene encoding the truncated NSP1 is selected into reassortants much less efficiently than normal NSP1 gene, the reassortants with the mutated NSP1 gene and RNA segments from heterologous strains normally replicated in cultured cells. Thus, cysteine-rich region of NSP1 was not considered essential for genome segment reassortment with heterologous virus. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 November 2007.
All research outputs
#8,511,458
of 25,381,864 outputs
Outputs from Archives of Virology
#1,031
of 4,481 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#78,759
of 235,787 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Archives of Virology
#65
of 210 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,381,864 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,481 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 235,787 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 52% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 210 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
