Human cytomegalovirus DNA sequences

TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention pertains to the field of virology, specifically to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of viral infections in humans. More specifically, this invention relates to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of human cytomegalovirus infections.
BACKGROUND
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a ubiquitous agent in human populations. Infections are generally asymptomatic, but there can be serious medical sequelae in immunocompromised individuals and in congenitally infected newborns. In immunocompromised individuals, HCMV infection can result in interstitial pneumonia, retinitis progressing to blindness and disseminated infection. Infections in newborns can be severely damaging, with multiple organ involvement including the central nervous system and may also result in auditory damage. The mechanisms of pathogenesis are not understood, although it is believed that host factors, such as cellular and/or humoral immune responses might be involved. See, Alford and Britt, "The Human Herpesviruses", eds Roizman, B., R. J. Whitley and C. Lopez, Raven Press, New York, 1993, pp 227-55. It has also been speculated that genetic variability (either structural or antigenic or both) among different strains of HCMV could be responsible for the variance in clinical manifestations observed. Pritchett, J. Virol. 36:152-61(1980); Lehner, J. Clin. Microbiol. 29:2494-2502(1991); Fries, J. Infect. Dis. 169:769-74(1994).
Considerable attention has been focused recently on the analysis of strain variation among HCMV isolates. Some twenty different HCMV strains have been isolated and differentiated by restriction analysis of PCR amplified DNA fragments. Chou, J. Infect. Dis. 162:738-42(1990).
One strain, the Towne strain, has been developed into a live, attenuated vaccine and administered with some success in renal transplant patients. See Quinnan, Annals of Int. Med. 101:478-83(1984); Plotkin, Lancet 1:528-30(1984). However, Towne strain vaccines who were directly challenged by low-passaged Toledo strain wild-type virus in one study were found to resist challenge doses of only 10 plaque-forming units (pfu) or less. Plotkin, J. Infect. Dis. 159:860-65(1989). Therefore, it appears the Towne strain may be overly attenuated, i.e., genetically modified so extensively resulting from serial passage in cell culture that it has lost significant immunogenicity presumably due to the loss of genetic information during the cell passage. Advantageously however, the Towne strain has never been shown to reactivate.
DNA sequence heterogeneity between the Towne strain and another strain of HCMV, AD169, has been found. Pritchett, J. Virol. 36:152-61(1980). (A restriction map of the AD 169 HCMV genome is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,762,780.) Variation in the DNA content among other isolated strains of HCMV has also been detected. Huang, Yale J. Biol. and Med. 49:29-43(1976). Cleavage patterns of restriction enzyme digests of HCMV DNA of various strains has been analyzed. Kilpatrick, J. Virol. 18:1095-1105(1976); LaFemina, "Structural Organization of the DNA Molecules from Human Cytomegalovirus" in Animal Virus Genetics, eds. Field, B N and R. Jaenish, Academic Press, NY (1980); Chandler, J. Gen. Virol. 67:2179-92(1986); Zaia, J. Clin. Microbiol. 28:2602-07(1990). However, although the gross structural organization of the HCMV genome has been determined and strain-to-strain restriction site polymorphism mapped for many of the strains, strain-to-strain differences in the DNA sequences of the HCMV genome have not been determined. Only partial sequences have been deduced and compared. For example, the DNA and amino acid sequences of the envelope glycoprotein B [gpUL55(gB)] of both Towne and AD169 strains have been deduced, see Spaete, Virology 167:207-25(1988), and compared with various clinical isolates, see Chou, J. Infect. Dis. 163:1229-34(1991), to identify conserved regions and regions of variability. In addition, DNA sequence analysis of certain regions of the gp58/116 gene [gpUL55(gB)], the IMP gene and the IE-1/2 enhancer/promoter has been accomplished. Lehner, J. Clin. Microbiol. 29:2494-2502(1991).
Whereas the complete DNA sequence of the AD169 strain of HCMV has been deduced, (EMBL Accession No. X17403), the complete DNA sequence of the Towne strain has not to our knowledge been deduced. However, it has been speculated that AD169 and another laboratory strain, Davis, are missing two to four kilobase pairs (kb) of DNA sequence compared to the Towne strain at the extreme internal portions of both L repeats. LeFemina, supra, at 52-53.
The public health impact of HCMV infections has not been well controlled by current treatment strategies or available antiviral chemotherapies. Preventative vaccine strategies are likely to prove efficacious because of the observations that seropositive renal allograft recipients are protected from severe HCMV disease and maternal immunity protects the fetus from disease after intrauterine infection. Marshall and Plotkin, "Cytomegalovirus Vaccines" in The Human Herpesviruses, eds Roizman, B., R. J. Whitley and C. Lopez, Raven Press, New York, 1993, pps 381-95. However, an additional obstacle to the development of a vaccine for HCMV is the lack of an animal model system that can be used to test the safety and efficacy of vaccine candidates.
There remains a need in the art for efficacious vaccines for the prophylactic treatment of HCMV in humans.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In one aspect, the invention provides novel HCMV DNA sequences not heretofore recognized or known in the art. These novel HCMV sequences were isolated from the Toledo and Towne strains of HCMV and comprise DNA that is not shared by reference strain AD169 of HCMV. Accordingly, in this aspect the invention provides novel, isolated, Toledo strain HCMV DNA sequences. As used herein, "isolated" means substantially free from other viral DNA sequences with which the subject DNA is typically found in its native, i.e., endogenous, state. These novel Toledo HCMV DNA sequences are characterized by comprising the same or substantially the same nucleotide sequence as in FIG. 1 (SEQ ID NO:6), or active fragments thereof. The DNA sequences may include 5' and 3' non-coding sequences flanking the coding sequence. The DNA sequences may be in inverted orientation with respect to the orientation shown in FIG. 1. Segments or fragments of the DNA sequence shown in FIG. 1 (SEQ ID NO:6) may be rearranged or inverted internally. The DNA sequences of the invention also comprise nucleotide sequences capable of hybridizing under stringent conditions, or which would be capable of hybridizing under said conditions but for the degeneracy of the genetic code to a sequence corresponding to the sequence of FIG. 1. FIG. 1 (SEQ ID NO:6) illustrates the DNA sequence of the novel Toledo strain HCMV. Twenty one open reading frames (ORFs) were identified in this sequence. The putative amino acid sequences of these novel Toledo strain HCMV ORFs are enumerated in sequence identification numbers 7 through 27, pages 58 through 78, infra. In FIG. 1, the beginning and ending of the 21 ORFs are identified by the arrows and the designations "UL133", "UL134", etc. (see infra.). In rearranged sequences of the invention, novel open reading frames may be created or destroyed.
In another aspect, the invention provides additional novel HCMV DNA sequences not heretofore recognized or known in the art. These additional sequences were isolated from the Towne strain of HCMV and comprise DNA that is not shared by the AD169 strain or by the Toledo strain of RCMV. Accordingly, in this aspect the invention provides novel Towne strain HCMV sequences. These novel Towne HCMV DNA sequences are characterized by as comprising the same or substantially the same nucleotide sequence as in FIG. 2 (SEQ ID NO: 1), or active fragments thereof. The DNA sequence may include 5' and 3' non-coding sequences flaring the coding sequence. The DNA sequences of the invention also comprise nucleotide sequences capable of hybridizing under stringent conditions, or which would be capable of hybridizing under said conditions but for the degeneracy of the genetic code to a sequence corresponding to the sequence of FIG. 2 (SEQ ID NO:1). FIG. 2 (SEQ ID NO:1) illustrates the DNA sequence of the novel Towne strain HCMV. Four ORFs were identified in this sequence. The putative amino acid sequences of these novel ORFs are enumerated in sequence identification numbers 2 through 5, pages 42 through 45 infra. In FIG. 2, the beginning and ending of the 4 ORFs are identified by the arrows and the designations UL147, UL152, UL153 and UL154.
It is understood that the DNA sequences of this invention may exclude some or all of the signal and/or flanking sequences. In addition, the DNA sequences of the present invention may also comprise DNA capable of hybridizing under stringent conditions, or which would be capable of hybridizing under such conditions but for the degeneracy of the genetic code, to an isolated DNA sequence of FIG. 1 or FIG. 2. (SEQ ID NOS:6 and 1). As used herein, "stringent conditions" means conditions of high stringency, for example 6.times.SSC, 0.2% polyvinylpyrrolidone, 0.2% Ficoll, 0.2% bovine serum albumin, 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate, 100 .mu.g/ml salmon sperm DNA and 15% formamide at 68 degrees C. (See Materials and Methods, Part C, infra.)
Accordingly, the DNA sequences of this invention may contain modifications in the non-coding sequences, signal sequences or coding sequences, based on allelic variation, species or clinical isolate variation or deliberate modification. Using the sequences of FIG. 1 and 2 (SEQ ID NOS:6 and 1), it is within the skill in the art to obtain other modified DNA sequences: the sequences can be truncated at their 3'-termini and/or their 5'-termini, the gene can be manipulated by varying individual nucleotides, while retaining the original amino acid(s), or varying the nucleotides, so as to modify amino acid(s). Nucleotides can be substituted, inserted or deleted by known techniques, including for example, in vitro mutagenesis and primer repair. In addition, short, highly degenerate oligonucleotides derived from regions of imperfect amino acid conservation can be used to identify new members of related viral and cellular families. RNA molecules, transcribed from a DNA of the invention as described above, are an additional aspect of the invention.
In another aspect, the invention provides novel HCMV proteins, which are substantially free from other HCMV proteins with which they are typically found in their native state. These novel HCMV proteins comprise the open reading frames (ORFs) UL133 (SEQ ID NO:7), UL134 (SEQ ID NO:8), UL135 (SEQ ID NO:9), UL136 (SEQ ID NO:10), UL137 (SEQ ID NO:11), UL138 (SEQ ID NO:12), UL139 (SEQ ID NO:13), UL140 (SEQ ID NO:14), UL141 (SEQ ID NO:15), UL142 (SEQ ID NO:16), UL143 (SEQ ID NO:17), UL144 (SEQ ID NO:18), UL145 (SEQ ID NO:19), UL146 (SEQ ID NO:20), UL147 (SEQ ID NO:21), UL148 (SEQ ID NO:22), UL149 (SEQ ID NO:24), UL150 (SEQ ID NO:25), and/or UL151 (SEQ ID NO:26) identified in the novel Toledo strain DNA sequence and UL147 (SEQ ID NO:2), UL152 (SEQ ID NO:3), UL153 (SEQ ID NO:4) and/or UL154 (SEQ ID NO:5) identified in the novel Towne strain DNA sequence. Two additional HCMV ORIs were identified in the novel Toledo strain DNA sequence, UL130 and UL132 (SEQ ID NOS:23 and 27). These two sequences are also present in AD169 (see FIG. 5). The proteins may be produced by recombinant genetic engineering techniques. They may additionally be purified from cellular sources infected with HCMV. They may also be synthesized by chemical techniques. One skilled in the art could apply a combination of the above-identified methodologies to synthesize the protein. Additionally, analogs of the HCMV proteins of the invention are provided and include truncated polypeptides, e.g., mutants in which there are variations in the amino acid sequence that retain biological activity, as defined below, and preferably have a homology of at least 80%, more preferably 90%; and most preferably 95%, with the corresponding regions of the HCMV Towne or Toledo amino acid sequences (SEQ ID NOS:2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27). Examples include polypeptides with minor amino acid variations from the native amino acid sequences of HCMV Toledo or Towne amino acid sequences (SEQ ID NOS:2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27); in particular, conservative amino acid replacements. Conservative replacements are those that take place within a family of amino acids that are related in their side chains. Genetically encoded amino acids are generally divided into four families: (1) acidic=aspartate, glutamate; (2) basic=lysine, arginine, histidine; (3) non-polar=alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine, typtophan; and (4) uncharged polar=glycine, asparagine, glutamine, cystine, serine, threonine, tyrosine. Phenylalanine, tryptophan, and tyrosine are sometimes classified jointly as aromatic amino acids. For example, it is reasonable to expect that an isolated replacement of a leucine with an isoleucine or valine, an aspartate with a glutamate, a threonine with a serine, or a similar conservative replacement of an amino acid with a structurally related amino acid will not have a major effect on activity or functionality.
Using the Toledo or Towne amino acid sequences (SEQ ID NOS:2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27) it is within the a skill in the art to obtain other polypeptides or other DNA sequences encoding the HCMV Toledo or Towne protein from clinical isolates of HCMV. For example, the structural gene can be manipulated by varying individual nucleotides, while retaining the correct amino acid(s), or varying the nucleotides, so as to modify the amino acids, without loss of activity. Nucleotides can be substituted, inserted, or deleted by known techniques, including, for example, in vitro mutagenesis and primer repair. The structural gene can be truncated at its 3'-terminus and/or its 5'-terminus while retaining its activity. It also may be desirable to remove the region encoding the signal sequence, and/or to replace it with a heterologous sequence. It may also be desirable to ligate a portion of the HCMV Toledo or Towne amino acid sequences (SEQ ID NOS:2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27), particularly that which includes the amino terminal domain to a heterologous coding sequence, and thus to create a fusion peptide of HCMV Toledo or Towne.
In designing such modifications, it is expected that changes to nonconserved regions of the HCMV Toledo or Towne amino acid sequences (SEQ ID NOS:2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27) will have relatively smaller effects on activity, whereas changes in the conserved regions, and particularly in or near the amino terminal domain are expected to produce larger effects. Amino acid residues that are conserved between the HCMV Toledo or Towne amino acid sequences (SEQ ID NOS:2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27) and at least two other sequences, for example, from HCMV clinical isolates are not expected to be candidates for substitution. A residue which shows conservative variations among the HCMV sequences and at least two of the other sequences is expected to be capable of similar conservative substitution of the HCMV sequences. Similarly, a residue which varies nonconservatively among the HCMV sequences and at least three of the other sequences is expected to be capable of either conservative or nonconservative substitution. When designing substitutions to the HCMV sequences, replacement by an amino acid which is found in the comparable aligned position of one of the other sequences is especially preferred.
Additionally provided by this invention is a recombinant DNA vector comprising vector DNA and a DNA sequence encoding an HCMV Toledo polypeptide or HCMV Towne polypeptide. The vector provides the HCMV Toledo or Towne DNA in operative association with a regulatory sequence capable of directing the replication and expression of an HCMV Toledo or Towne protein in a selected host cell. Host cells transformed with such vectors for use in expressing recombinant HCMV Toledo or Towne proteins are also provided by this invention. Also provided is a novel process for producing recombinant HCMV Toledo or Towne proteins or active fragments thereof. In this process, a host cell line transformed with a vector as described above containing a DNA sequence (SEQ ID NOS:1 and 6) encoding expression of an HCMV Toledo or Towne protein in operative association with a suitable regulatory sequence capable of directing replication and controlling expression of an HCMV Toledo or Towne protein is cultured under appropriate conditions permitting expression of the recombinant DNA. The expressed protein is then harvested from the host cell or culture medium using suitable conventional means. This novel process may employ various known cells as host cell lines for expression of the protein. Currently preferred cells are mammalian cell lines, yeast, insect and bacterial cells. Especially preferred are mammalian cell lines.
The practice of the invention will employ, unless otherwise indicated, conventional techniques of molecular biology, microbiology, recombinant DNA manipulation and production, and immunology, which are within the skill of the art. Such techniques are explained fully in the literature. See, e.g., Sambrook, Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, Second Edition (1989); DNA Cloning, Volumes I and II (D. N. Glover, Ed. 1985); Oligonucleotide Synthesis (M. J. Gait, Ed. 1984); Nucleic Acid Hybridization (B. D. Hames and S. J. Higgins, Eds. 1984); Transcription and Translation (B. D. Hames and S. J.

M. Weir and C. C. Blackwell, Eds 1986). All patents, patent applications and publications mentioned herein, both supra and infra, are hereby incorporated by reference.
Additionally provided by this invention are compositions for detecting HCMV infections in humans. These compositions comprise probes having at least one single-stranded fragment of at least 10 bases in length, more preferably 15 bases in length, of the novel Toledo sequence, and fragments hybridizing to these single-stranded fragments under stringent hybridization conditions and non-cross-hybridizing with human DNA. Additionally, these compositions comprise at least one single-stranded fragment of at least 10 bases in length, more preferably 15 bases in length, of the novel Towne sequence, and fragments hybridizing to these single-stranded fragments under stringent hybridizing with human DNA. Such probe compositions may additionally comprise a label, attached to the fragment, to provide a detectable signal, as is taught in U.S. Pat. No. 4,762,780.
Further provided by this invention are methods for detecting an HCMV infection in a human host. Such methods comprise combining under predetermined stringency conditions a clinical sample suspected of containing HCMV DNA with at least one single-stranded DNA fragment of the novel Toledo or Towne strain of HCMV having at least 10 bases, more preferably 15 bases, and being non-ross-hybridizing with human DNA, and detecting duplex formation between the single-stranded Toledo or Towne strain HCMV fragments and the sample DNA. Alternatively, PCR may be used to increase the viral nucleic acid copy number by amplification to facilitate the identification of HCMV in infected individuals. In such case, the single-stranded Toledo or Towne strain DNA sequence fragments of the present invention can be used to construct PCR primers for PCR-based amplification systems for the diagnosis of HCMV. Such systems are well known in the art. See for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,008,182 (detection of AIDS associated virus by PCR) and Hedrum, PCR Methods and Applications 2:167-71(1992) (detection of Chlamydia trachomatis by PCR and immunomagnetic recovery).
The DNA sequences of this invention may also be used to prepare immunizing compositions. The novel Toledo DNA sequences are recombined into the Towne strain or AD169 strain of HCMV and these recombinant viruses tested for growth properties in endothelial cells or in human tissues transplanted into SCID mice or tested in the rat eye model. Mocarski, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci 90:104-08(1993). Such recombinants will show increased immunogenicity over that shown by the Towne-125 strain currently in use in humans, without exhibiting the full virulence shown by the Toledo-1 strain. Therefore, a further aspect of the invention is immunizing compositions comprising either the Towne strain or the AD169 reference strain of HCMV to which the novel Toledo DNA sequence, or analogs or fragments thereof, have been added, resulting in increased immunogenicity of the recombinant virus. The invention also includes a method for the prophylactic treatment of HCMV in humans comprising administering to a human patient an immunogenically inducing effective amount of an immunizing composition of the invention in a suitable pharmaceutical carrier. Still another aspect of the invention is a method of stimulating an immune response against CMV by administering to a patient an immunogenically inducing effective amount of an immunizing composition of the invention in a suitable pharmaceutical vehicle.
Other aspects and advantages of this invention are described in the following detailed description.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
A. Introduction
The invention provides two novel HCMV DNA sequences, termed Toledo sequence and Towne sequence, not heretofore recognized or known in the art. The invention also provides immunization compositions and methods using the novel HCMV DNA sequences of the invention and also provides other diagnostic and therapeutic uses for the sequences and their protein products. The new DNA sequences were originally found in the Toledo and Towne strains of HCMV. Details of the sequences and structural characteristics are provided in the Examples below.
Most desirably, HCMV immunogenic compositions are provided that comprise reference strain AD169 or Towne to which the novel Toledo DNA sequences, or analogs or fragments thereof, have been added in order to increase the imunogenicity of the overly-attenuated strain. Thus, one aspect of this invention includes isolated DNA and corresponding RNA sequences as disclosed in FIGS. 1 and 2 (SEQ ID NOS:6 and 1). As used herein, "isolated" means substantially free from other nucleotide or polypeptide sequences with which the subject nucleotide sequence or polypeptide sequence is typically found in its native, i.e., endogenous, state. In another aspect, the invention comprises isolated HCMV Towne or Toledo protein encoded by the respective HCMV Towne or Toledo DNA sequences (SEQ ID NOS:2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27).
Another aspect of this invention includes diagnostic assays for the detection of HCMV strain variants. In brief, such diagnostic assays include the use of DNA sequence fragments of the invention as primers for amplifying HCMV related nucleic acids in a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or by direct detection by hybridization. The diagnostic assays of the invention may also include the use of specific antibodies against the novel ORFs encoded by the Toledo or Towne DNA sequences disclosed here. Yet another aspect of the invention is the use of the novel DNA sequences modified with a unique restriction site, to act as vaccine markers.
It is anticipated that the invention will enable the production of vaccines that offer advantages over the current HCMV vaccine, which is overly attenuated and therefore not consistently effective in eliciting an immune response. More specifically, the introduction or insertion of the novel Toledo strain sequences of the present invention into the Towne strain or into the AD169 strain will result in the introduction of specific DNA sequences in the HCMV Towne genome that are not possible using the cell passage vaccines. Importantly for vaccine production, this enables precise measurement of the degree of attenuation introduced by different fragments of the DNA sequences of the invention, thereby enabling the controlled modification in the attenuation of the Towne strain that is needed in the art to correct the Towne's strain's overly attenuated characteristic and improve its function as an immunogenic composition.
B. Recombinant AD169 or Towne HCMV
Recombinant AD169 or Towne DNA is derived by co-transfecting a plasmid containing the novel Toledo sequence, or analogs or fragments thereof, and a selectable marker such as gpt or .beta.-galactosidase in primary fibroblast cells, or other cell lines known to be permissive for growth of CMV. Recombinant viruses are selected by growth in media containing mycophenolic acid or identified by blue plaque phenotypes after applying a chromogenic substrate such as X-gal. Recombinant viruses are plaque purified and characterized by restriction enzyme analysis and Southern blotting procedures. The novel HCMV Toledo sequence, or analogs or fragments thereof, may be vised unmodified with respect to the endogenous promoter and transcription termination signals. Alternatively, the HCMV Toledo strain DNA coding region can be placed under transcriptional control of a promoter such as the CMV (cytomegalovirus) major immediate early promoter, the SV40 early promoter or some other viral or cellular promoter that generates adequate levels of expression, as discussed herein.
Modified Towne or AD169 strain HCMV is grown in tissue culture cells. For a experiments with mammals, not including humans, cells such as human foreskin fibroblasts (HF) or MRC-5 cells are used to propagate the virus. The virus is harvested from cultures of these cells and the isolated recombinant virus is then be further studied for its ability to elicit an immune response and provide protection against HCMT infection.
For use in humans, the recombinant virus is produced from an HCMV approved cell line in large scale amounts. Such cells include MRC-5 or WI-38 cells (both are primary human diploid fibroblasts). The recombinant virus is generated in the production cell line by transfection of viral DNA or capsids prepared from recombinant virus isolated from another cell line. The method of transfection should prevent the contamination of FDA approved cells with adventitious agents or contaminants from a non-qualified cell line. A HCMV virus produced from the above cell lines will be used to infect progressively larger flasks of tissue culture cells. Infected cells will be used as subsequent inoculums. Viable infected tissue culture cells are removed from the tissue culture vessels using trypsin and added to a 1 to 100 fold (or more) excess of uninfected cells to accomplish progressively larger inoculations. Once an optimal yield is obtained the virus will be harvested from the tissue culture cells. This process can be repeated until a large scale production is achieved. Infected cells will be removed from the tissue culture vessel and disrupted using for example, sonication, dounce homogenization or some combination of the above. The viruses are then isolated from cellular material using centrifugation techniques known in the art. Once the virus is isolated a stabilizing agent is added, such as a carbohydrate or carbohydrate derivative and the virus is then aliquoted and lyophilized.
C. Immunogenic Compositions
Immunogenic compositions can be administered to subjects to prevent HCMV infections. The immunogenic compositions prevent HCMV infections by stimulating the immune system with an attenuated virus incapable of fully manifesting the disease. A major advantage of the HCMV immunogenic compositions provided herein is that its increased degree of immunogenicity will result in move effective prevention of an HCMV infection in the population.
The Towne strain of HCMV will preferably serve as the parent strain due to its proven inability to reactivate. To make HCMV immunogenic compositions, full, truncated and/or modified novel Toledo DNA sequences are introduced into a HCMV AD169 or Towne strain virus as discussed herein. The effectiveness of the immunogenic composition in preventing HCMV infections will be measured in humans. Humans will be first inoculated with PFU's ranging from 100-20,000 PFU of mutant virus per inoculation, PFUs are measured as discussed herein. After the first inoculation, a second booster injection of similar or increased dosage usually may be given. Subjects will be exposed to wild-type HCMV after the first or second inoculation and the occurrence of CMV infections observed. Potential side effects of the vaccine will be monitored in volunteer adults previously exposed to CMV, before inoculating subjects that have not ever developed CMV infections. Attenuated virus is used without an adjuvant and with a physiologically suitable carrier.
As is known in the art and discussed herein, the novel DNA is inserted into the Towne or AD169 viral genome using, for example, homologous recombination techniques. The insertion is generally made into a gene which is non-essential in nature. Plasmid shuttle vectors that greatly facilitate the construction of recombinant viruses have been described. See, for example, Spaete and Mocarski, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci 84:7213-17(1987). Expression of the polypeptide encoded by the novel Toledo DNA then occurs in cells or individuals which are immunized with the live recombinant virus.
Alternatively, the purified novel HCMV proteins may be employed in therapeutic and/or subunit immunogenic compositions for preventing and treating HCMV related conditions. Such pharmaceutical compositions comprise an immunogenically-inducing effective amount of one or more of the proteins of the present invention in admixture with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, for example an adjuvant/antigen presentation system such as alum. Other adjuvant/antigen presentation systems, for instance, MF59 (Chiron Corp.), QS-21 (Cambridge Biotech Corp.), 3-DMPL (3-Deacyl-Monophosphoryl Lipid A) (RibiImmunoChem Research, Inc.), clinical grade incomplete Freund's adjuvant (IFA), fasogenic liposomes, water soluble polymers or Iscoms (Immune stimulating complexes) may also be used. Other exemplary pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or solutions are aluminum hydroxide, saline and phosphate buffered saline. The composition can be systemically administered, preferably subcutaneously or intramuscularly, in the form of an acceptable subcutaneous or intramuscular solution. Also inoculation can be effected by surface scarification or by inoculation of a body cavity. The preparation of such solutions, having due regard to pH, isotonicity, stability and the like is within the skill in the art. The dosage regimen will be determined by the attending physician considering various factors known to modify the action of drugs such as for example, physical condition, body weight, sex, diet, severity of the condition, time of administration and other clinical factors. Exemplary dosage ranges comprise between about 1 .mu.g to about 1000 .mu.g of protein.
In practicing the method of treatment of this invention, an immunologically-inducing effective amount of protein is administered to a human patient in need of therapeutic or prophylactic treatment. An immunologically inducing effective amount of a composition of this invention is contemplated to be in the range of about 1 microgram to about 1 milligram per dose administered. The number of doses administered may vary, depending on the above mentioned factors.
D. Diagnostic Assays and Use as a Vaccine Marker
The novel Toledo and Towne DNA sequences of the present invention can be used in diagnostic assays to detect HCMV in a sample, to detect Toledo and Towne-like sequences and to detect strain differences in clinical isolates of HCMV using either chemically synthesized or recombinant Toledo or Towne DNA fragments. Additionally, the novel sequences can be used as a vaccine marker to differentiate between an individual or sample infected with or containing wild type HCMV and an individual or sample infected with or containing a HCMV vaccine, i.e., a live attenuated HCMV vaccine currently in use such as the Towne vaccine. In yet another embodiment, fragments of the DNA sequences can also be linked to secondary nucleic acids with sequences that either bind a solid support or other detection probes for use in diagnostic assays. In one aspect of the invention, fragments of the novel Toledo or Towne DNA sequences (SEQ ID NOS:1 and 3) comprising at least between 10 and 20 nucleotides can be used as primers to amplify nucleic acids using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods well known in the art and as probes in nucleic acid hybridization assays to detect target genetic material such as HCMV DNA in clinical specimens (with or without PCR). See for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,683,202; 4,683,195; 5,091,310; 5,008,182 and 5,168,039. In an exemplary assay, a conserved region of the novel DNA sequence among virus variants is selected as the sequence to be amplified and detected in the diagnostic assay. Oligonucleotide primers at least substantially complementary to (but preferably identical with) the sequence to be amplified are constructed and a sample suspected of containing a HCMV nucleic acid sequence to be detected is treated with primers for each strand of HCMV nucleic acid sequence to be detected, four different deoxynucleotide triphosphates and a polymerization agent under appropriate hybridization conditions such that an extension product of each primer is synthesized that is complementary to the HCMV nucleic acid sequences suspected in the sample, which extension products synthesized from one primer, when separated from its complement can serve as a template for synthesis of the extension product of the other primer in a polymerase chain reaction. After amplification, the product of the PCR can be detected by the addition of a labeled probe, likewise constructed from the novel DNA sequence, capable of hybridizing with the amplified sequence as is well known in the art. See, e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 5,008,182.
In another embodiment the probes or primers can be used in a vaccine marker assay to detect a vaccine or wild type infection. Alternatively, introduction of a restriction site into the novel DNA sequence will provide a vaccine marker that can be used with PCR fragments to detect such differences in a restriction digest. Such procedures and techniques for detecting sequence variants, such as, point mutations with the expected location or configuration of the mutation, are known in the art and have been applied in the detection of sickle cell anemia, hemoglobin C disease, diabetes and other diseases and conditions as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,137,806. These methods are readily applied by one skilled in the art to detect and differentiate between wild type and vaccine infections in HCMV.
In another embodiment the novel Toledo or Towne DNA sequences can be used in their entirety or as fragments to detect the presence of DNA sequences, related sequences, or transcription products in cells, tissues, samples and the like using hybridization probe techniques known in the art or in conjunction with one of the methods discussed herein. When used as a hybridization probe, fragments of the novel DNA sequences of the invention are preferably 50-200 nucleotides long, more preferably 100-300 nucleotides long and most preferably greater than 300 nucleotides long.
E. Vectors and Chimeric Virus Production
The novel DNA sequences of the invention can be expressed in different vectors using different techniques known in the art resulting in the generation of chimeric virus. Useful and known techniques include marker transfer or homologous recombination, direct in vitro ligation, defective vector technology and amplicon generation (see, e.g., Frenkel, N. et al., Gene Transfer and Cancer, edited by M. L. Pearson and N. L. Sternberg(1984), Kwong, A. D. and Frenkel, Virology 142, 421-425(1985); U.S. patent (Ser. No. 071923,015 by Roizman). Vectors used in such techniques include cosmids, plasmids, and infective or defective viruses. Such vectors are known in the art. (A cosmid as used herein is a plasmid containing a lambda bacteriophage cos site. The cos site is the cis signal for packaging lambda DNA. Therefore, a cosmid, unlike a plasmid, can be packaged with high efficiency into a lambda head in vitro. This technique allows cloning of very large (30-45 kbp) fragments of DNA.) The vectors can be either single stranded or double stranded and made of either DNA or RNA.
Generally, the DNA sequence is inserted into the vector alone or linked to other HCMV genomic DNA. In direct in vitro ligation applications, the isolated sequence alone is used. In homologous recombination and marker transfer flanking nucleic acid sequences are required to effect transfer of the sequence into a HCMV viral genome. For use in viral complementation using cosmids and other vectors discussed herein the sequence (or a fragment thereof) in a vector is preferably operatively linked to at least 1 kb of HCMV genomic nucleic acid and more preferably at least 5 kb of HCMV nucleic acid. The HCMV genomic nucleic acid can be on one side or both sides of the open reading frame. If only a specific region of the open reading frame is to be used to generate a mutant virus, an open reading frame or fragment thereof is inserted into a vector.
F. Novel Toledo and Towne Protein
Another aspect of the invention includes the isolated proteins encoded by the Toledo or Towne DNA sequence as taught herein. The proteins can be used to study and modify the life cycle of HCMV because they may encode surface glycoproteins that may be immunogenic and responsible for tissue tropism or influence the immune response in an infected individual. Such proteins could therefore be used in the production of a subunit vaccine against CMV. The construction of such CMV subunits vaccine candidates is known in the art. See, for example, Spaete, Virology 167:207-25(1988).
Twenty-one novel Toledo and four novel Towne proteins have been identified by ORF analysis. The novel Toledo proteins include UL130 (SEQ ID NO:23), UL132 (SEQ ID NO:27), UL133 (SEQ ID NO:7), UL134 (SEQ ID NO:8), UL135 (SEQ ID NO:9), UL136 (SEQ ID NO:10), UL137 (SEQ ID NO:11), UL138 (SEQ ID NO:12), UL139 (SEQ ID NO:13), UL140 (SEQ ID NO:14), UL141 (SEQ ID NO:15), UL142 (SEQ ID NO:16), UL143 (SEQ ID NO:17), UL144 (SEQ ID NO:18), UL145 (SEQ ID NO:19), UL146 (SEQ ID NO:20), UL147 (SEQ ID NO:21), UL148 (SEQ ID NO:22), UL149 (SEQ ID NO:24), UL150 (SEQ ID NO:25), and/or UL151 (SEQ ID NO:26).

UL133 is encoded by nucleotides 51 through 824, as shown in FIG. 1. UL134 is encoded by nucleotides 541 through 1068, as shown in FIG. 1. UL135 is encoded by nucleotides 941 through 1927, as shown in FIG. 1. UL136 is encoded by nucleotides 2018 through 2740, as shown in FIG. 1. UL137 is encoded by nucleotides 2599 through 2890, as shown in FIG. 1. UL138 is encoded by nucleotides 2823 through 3332, as shown in FIG. 1. UL139 is encoded by nucleotides 3895 through 4302, as shown in FIG. 1. UL140 is encoded by nucleotides 4484 through 4828, as shown in FIG. 1. UL141 is encoded by nucleotides 5098 through 6375, as shown in FIG. 1. UL142 is encoded by nucleotides 6448 through 7368, as shown in FIG. 1. UL143 is encoded by nucleotides 7353 through 7631, as shown in FIG. 1. UL144 is encoded by nucleotides 8008 through 8538, as shown in FIG. 1. UL145 is encoded by nucleotides 8867 through 9169, as shown in FIG. 1. UL146 is encoded by nucleotides 9450 through 9803, as shown in FIG. 1. UL147 is encoded by nucleotides 9868 through 10347, as shown in FIG. 1. UL148 is encoded by nucleotides 10646 through 11596, as shown in FIG. 1. UL149 is encoded by nucleotides 15756 through 16124, as shown in FIG. 1. UL150 is encoded by nucleotides 15874 through 17802, as shown in FIG. 1. UL151 is encoded by nucleotides 17289 through 18299, as shown in FIG. 1.
The novel Towne proteins include UL147, UL152, UL153 and UL154 (SEQ ID NOS:2, 3, 4 and 5, respectively). UL147 is encoded by nucleotides 841 through 1321, as shown in FIG. 2. UL152 is encoded by nucleotides 1365 through 1721, as shown in FIG. 2. UL153 is encoded by nucleotides 2501 through 3337, as shown in FIG. 2. UL154 is encoded by nucleotides 3512 through 4711, as shown in FIG. 2.
"Toledo and/or Towne protein or proteins" as used herein refer to the above sequences, also enumerated in the sequence listing. "Toledo and/or Towne protein or proteins" also refers to an homologous protein from any strain or clinical isolate of HCMV, including HCMV proteins that are at least 90% homologous to the Toledo or Towne amino acid sequences (SEQ ID NOS:2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27). The Toledo or Towne protein can be modified to affect HCMV life cycle by deletion, insertion and substitution into the DNA sequence, as discussed herein, or by chemical synthesis of different amino acid sequence or by chemical modification. Truncated proteins can be formed by deletion of a portion of the DNA sequence or the introduction of termination signal(s) into the DNA sequence. Preferred deletions to the protein correspond to deleted amino acid sequence or sequences that contain at least one amino acid selected from the group consisting of Glu, Asp, Arg, Lys, Cys and Pro. More preferably at the deleted amino acid sequence or sequences contain at least two amino acids selected from the group consisting of Glu, Asp, Arg, Lys, Cys and Pro. More preferably the deleted amino acid sequence or sequences contain at least two prolines.
Other mutations of the protein useful in modifying HCMV life cycle include, but are not limited to, modification of cAMP phosphorylation (Arg/Lys-Arg/Lys-X-X-Asp/Glu) and/or, myristylization sites (Glycine-X1-X2-X3-Ser/Thr-X-X-Asp/Glu; where X1 is not Glu,Asp,Arg, Lys, His Pro, Phe, Tyr, Trp, where X2 is any amino acid and where X3 is not Pro), or modification of the PKC phosphorylation sites (Ser/Thr-X-Arg/Lys) and/or N-linked glycosylation sites (Asn-X-Ser/Thr; where X is not Pro).
The Toledo or Towne DNA sequences, analogs or fragments thereof can be expressed in a mammalian, insect, or microorganism host. The polynucleotide is inserted into a suitable expression vector compatible with the type of host cell employed and is operably linked to the control elements within that vector. Vector construction employs techniques which are known in the art. Site-specific DNA cleavage involved in such construction is performed by treating with suitable restriction enzymes under conditions which generally are specified by the manufacturer of these commercially available enzymes. A suitable expression vector is one that is compatible with the desired function (e.g., transient expression, long term expression, integration, replication, amplification) and in which the control elements are compatible with the host cell.
Mammalian Cell Expression
Vectors suitable for replication in mammalian cells are known in the art, and can include viral replicons, or sequences that ensure integration of the sequence encoding the Toledo or Towne DNA into the host genome. Exemplary vectors include those derived from SV40, retroviruses, bovine papilloma virus, vaccinia virus, other herpesviruses and adenovirus.
Such suitable mammalian expression vectors contain a promoter to mediate transcription of foreign DNA sequences and, optionally, an enhancer. Suitable promoters are known in the art and include viral promoters such as those from SV40, cytomegalovirus (CMV), Rous sarcoma virus (RSV), adenovirus (ADV), and bovine papilloma virus (BPV).
The optional presence of an enhancer, combined with the promoter described above, will typically increase expression levels. An enhancer is any regulatory DNA sequence that can stimulate transcription up to 1000-fold when linked to endogenous or heterologous promoters, with synthesis beginning at the normal mRNA start site. Enhancers are also active when placed upstream or downstream from the transcription initiation site, in either normal or flipped orientation, or at a distance of more than 1000 nucleotides from the promoter. See Maniatis, Science 236:1237(1987), Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd Ed. (1989). Enhancers derived from viruses may be particularly useful, because they typically have a broader host range. Examples include the SV40 early gene enhancer (see Dijkema, EMBO J. 4:761(1985)) and the enhancer/promoters derived from the long terminal repeat (LTR) of the RSV (see Gorman, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 79:6777(1982b)) and from human cytomegalovirus (see Boshart, Cell 41:521(1985)). Additionally, some enhancers are regulatable and become active only in the presence of an inducer, such as a hormone or metal ion (see Sassone-Corsi and Borelli, Trends Genet. 2:215(1986)); Maniatis, Science 236:1237(1987)), In addition, the expression vector can and will typically also include a termination sequence and poly(A) addition sequences which are operably linked to the Toledo or Towne coding sequence.
Sequences that cause amplification of the gene may also be desirably included in the expression vector or in another vector that is co-translated with the expression vector containing a Towne or Toledo DNA sequence, as are sequences which encode selectable markers. Selectable markers for mammalian cells are known in the art, and include for example, thymidine kinase, diliydrofolate reductase (together with methotrexate as a DHFR amplifier), aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, hygromycin B phosphotransferase, asparagine synthetase, adenosine deaminase, metallothionien, and antibiotic resistant genes such as neomycin.
The vector that encodes a novel Toledo or Towne protein or polypeptide of this invention can be used for transformation of a suitable mammalian host cell. Transformation can be by any known method for introducing polynucleotide into a host cell, including, for example packaging the polynucleotide in a virus and transducing a host cell with the virus. The transformation procedure used depends upon the host to be transformed. Methods for introduction of heterologous polynucleotide into mammalian cells are known in the art and include dextran-mediated transfection, calcium phosphate precipitation, polybrene mediated transfection, protoplast fusion, electroporation, encapsulation of the polynucleotide(s) in liposomes, and direct microinjection of the DNA into nuclei.
Mammalian cell lines available as hosts for expression are known in the art and include many immortalized cell lines available from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), including but not limited to Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, HeLa cells, baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells, monkey kidney cells (COS), human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (e.g., Hep G2), and a number of other cell lines.
Insect Cell Expression
The components of an insect cell expression system include a transfer vector, usually a bacterial plasmid, which contains both a fragment of the baculovirus genome, and a convenient restriction site for insertion of the heterologous gene or genes to be expressed; a wild type baculovirus with a sequence homologous to the baculovirus-specific fragment in the transfer vector (this allows for the homologous recombination of the heterologous gene in to the baculovirus genome); and appropriate insect host cells and growth media. Exemplary transfer vectors for introducing foreign genes into insect cells include pAc373 and pVL985. See Luckow and Summers, Virology 17:31(1989).
The plasmid can also contains the polyhedron polyadenylation signal and a procaryotic ampicillin-resistance (amp) gene and origin of replication for selection and propagation in E. coli. See Miller, Ann. Rev. Microbiol. 42:177(1988).
Baculovirus transfer vectors usually contain a baculovirus promoter, i.e., a DNA sequence capable of binding a baculovirus RNA polymerase and initiating the downstream (5' to 3') transcription of a coding sequence (e.g., structural gene) into mRNA. The promoter will have a transcription initiation region which is usually placed proximal to the 5' end of the coding sequence and typically includes an RNA polymerase binding site and a transcription initiation site. A baculovirus transfer vector can also have an enhancer, which, if present, is usually distal to the structural gene. Expression can be either regulated or constitutive.
Yeast And Bacteria Expression
A yeast expression system can typically include one or more of the following: a promoter sequence, fusion partner sequence, leader sequence, transcription termination sequence. A yeast promoter, capable of binding yeast RNA polymerase and initiating the downstream (3') transcription of a coding sequence (e.g. structural gene) into mRNA, will have a transcription initiation region usually placed proximal to the 5' end of the coding sequence. This transcription initiation region typically includes an RNA polymerase binding site (a "TATA Box") and a transcription initiation site. The yeast promoter can also have an upstream activator sequence, usually distal to the structural gene. The activator sequence permits inducible expression of the desired heterologous DNA sequence. Constitutive expression occurs in the absence of an activator sequence. Regulated expression can be either positive or negative, thereby either enhancing or reducing transcription.
Particularly useful yeast promoters include alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) (EP Patent Pub. No. 284 044), enolase, glucokinase, glucose-6-phosphate isomerase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate-dehydrogenase (GAP or GAPDH), hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, 3-phosphoglycerate mutase, and pyruvate kinase (PyK)(EP Patent Pub. No. 329 203). The yeast PHO5 gene, encoding acid phosphatase, also provides useful promoter sequences. See Myanohara, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA80:1(1983).
A Toledo or Towne DNA sequence, analog or an active fragment thereof can be expressed intracellularly in yeast. A promoter sequence can be directly linked with the sequence or fragment, in which case the first amino acid at the N-terminus of the recombinant protein will always be a methionine, which is encoded by the ATG start codon. If desired, methionine at the N-terminus can be cleaved from the protein by in vitro incubation with cyanogen bromide.
Intracellularly expressed fusion proteins provide an alternative to direct expression of a sequence. Typically, a DNA sequence encoding the N-terminal portion of a stable protein, a fusion partner, is fused to the 5' end of heterologous DNA encoding the desired polypeptide. Upon expression, this construct will provide a fusion of the two amino acid sequences. For example, the yeast or human superoxide dismutase (SOD) gene, can be linked at the 5' terminus of a sequence and expressed in yeast. The DNA sequence at the junction of the two amino acid sequences may or may not encode a clearable site. See, e.g., EP Patent Pub. No. 196 056. Alternatively, the polypeptides can also be secreted from the cell into the growth media by creating a fusion protein comprised of a leader sequence fragment that provides for secretion in yeast or bacteria of the polypeptides. Preferably, there are processing sites encoded between the leader fragment and the sequence that can be cleaved either in vivo or in vitro. The leader sequence fragment typically encodes a signal peptide comprised of hydrophobic amino acids which direct the secretion of the protein from the cell. DNA encoding suitable signal sequences can be derived from genes for secreted yeast proteins, such as the yeast invertase gene (FP Patent Pub. No. 12 873) and the A-factor gene (U.S. Pat. No. 4,588,684). Alternatively, leaders of non-yeast origin, such as an interferon leader, can be used to provide for secretion in yeast (EP Patent Pub. No. 60057). Transcription termination sequences recognized by yeast are regulatory regions located 3' to the translation stop codon. Together with the promoter they flank the desired heterologous coding sequence. These flanking sequences direct the transcription of an mRNA which can be translated into the polypeptide encoded by the DNA.
Typically, the above described components, comprising a promoter, leader (if desired), coding sequence of interest, and transcription termination sequence, are put together in plasmids capable of stable maintenance in a host, such as yeast or bacteria. The plasmid can have two replication systems, so it can be maintained as a shuttle vector, for example, in yeast for expression and in a procaryotic host for cloning and amplification. Examples of such yeast-bacteria shuttle vectors include YEp24 (see Botstein, Gene 8:17-24 (1979)), pCl/1 (see Brake, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 81:4642-4646(1984)), and YRp17 (see Stinchcomb, J. Mol. Biol. 158:157(1982)). In addition, the plasmid can be either a high or low copy number plasmid. A high copy number plasmid will generally have a copy number ranging from about 5 to about 200, and typically about 10 to about 150. A host containing a high copy number plasmid will preferably have at least about 10, and more preferably at least about 20. Either a high or low copy number vector may be selected, depending upon the effect on the host of the vector and the polypeptides. See, e.g., Brake, et al., supra.
Alternatively, the expression constructs can be integrated into the yeast genome with an integrating vector. Integrating vectors typically contain at least one sequence homologous to a yeast chromosome that allows the vector to integrate, and preferably contain two homologous sequences flanking the expression construct. See Orr-Weaver, Methods In Enzymol. 101:228-245(1983) and Rine, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 80:6750(1983).
Typically, extrachromosomal and integrating expression vectors can contain selectable markers to allow for the selection of yeast strains that have been transformed. Selectable markers can include biosynthetic genes that can be expressed in the yeast host, such as ADE2, HIS4, LEU2, TRP1, and ALG7, and the G418 resistance gene, which confer resistance in yeast cells to tunicamycin and G418, respectively. In addition, a suitable selectable marker can also provide yeast with the ability to grow in the presence of toxic compounds, such as metal. For example, the presence of CUP1 allows yeast to grow in the presence of copper ions. See Butt, Microbiol. Rev. 51:351(1987).
Alternatively, some of the above described components can be put together into transformation vectors. Transformation vectors are typically comprised of a selectable marker that is either maintained in a replicon or developed into an integrating vector, as described above. Expression and transformation vectors, either extrachromosomal or integrating, have been developed for transformation into many yeasts. Exemplary yeasts cell lines are Candida albicans (Kurtz, Mol. Cell. Biol. 6:142(1986), Candida maltosa (Kunze, J. Basic Microbiol. 25:141(1985), Hansenula polymorpha (Gleeson, J. Gen. Microbiol 132:3459(1986) and Roggenkamp, Mol. Gen. Genet. 202:302(1986), Kluyveromyces fragilis (Das, J. Bacteriol. 158:1165(1984), Kluyveromyces lactis (De Louvencourt, J. Bacteriol. 154:737(1983) and Van den Berg, Bio/Technology 8:135(1990), Pichia guillerimondii (Kunze, J. Basic Microbiol. 25:141(1985), Pichia pastoris (Cregg, Mol. Cell. Biol. 5:3376 (1985), Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Hinnen, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 75:1929(1978) and Ito, J. Bacteriol. 153:163(1983), Schizosaccharomyces pombe (Beach and Nurse, Nature 300:706(1981), and Yarrowia lipolytica (Davidow, Curr. Genet. 10:380471(1985) and Gaillardin, Curr. Genet. 10:49(1985).
Methods of introducing exogenous DNA into yeast hosts are well-known in the art, and typically include either the transformation of spheroplasts or of intact yeast cells treated with alkali cations. Transformation procedures usually vary with the yeast species to be transformed. See the publications listed in the foregoing paragraph for appropriate transformation techniques.
Additionally, the gene or fragment thereof can be expressed in a bacterial system. In such system, a bacterial promoter is any DNA sequence capable of binding bacterial RNA polymerase and initiating the downstream (3') transcription of a coding sequence (e.g. a desired heterologous gene) into MRNA. A promoter will have a transcription initiation region which is usually placed proximal to the 5' end of the coding sequence. This transcription initiation region typically includes an RNA polymerase binding site and a transcription initiation site. A bacterial promoter can also have a second domain called an operator, that can overlap an adjacent RNA polymerase binding site at which RNA synthesis begins. The operator permits negative regulated (inducible) transcription, as a gene repressor protein can bind the operator and thereby inhibit transcription of a specific gene. Constitutive expression can occur in the absence of negative regulatory elements, such as the operator. In addition, positive regulation can be achieved by a gene activator protein binding sequence, which, if present is usually proximal (5') to the RNA polymerase binding sequence. An example of a gene activator protein is the catabolite activator protein (CAP), which helps initiate transcription of the lac operon in Escherichia coli (E. coli). See Raibaud, Ann. Rev. Genet. 18:173(1984). Regulated expression can therefore be either positive or negative, thereby either enhancing or reducing transcription.
Sequences encoding metabolic pathway enzymes provide particularly useful promoter sequences. Examples include promoter sequences derived from sugar metabolizing enzymes, such as galactose, lactose (lac) (see Chang, Nature 198:1056(1977), and maltose. Additional examples include promoter sequences derived from biosynthetic enzymes such as tryptophan (trp) (see Goeddel, Nuc. Acids Res. 8:4057(1981), Yelverton, Nuc. Acids Res. 9:731(1981), U.S. Pat. No. 4,738,921 and EP Patent Pub. Nos. 36 776 and 121 775). The lactomase (bla) promoter system (see Weissmann, Interferon 3 (ed. I. Gresser), the bacteriophage lambda PL promoter system (see Shimatake, Nature 292:128(128) and the T5 promoter system (U.S. Pat. No. 4,689,406) also provides useful promoter sequences.
In addition, synthetic promoters which do not occur in nature also function as bacterial promoters. For example, transcription activation sequences of one bacterial or bacteriophage promoter can be joined with the operon sequences of another bacterial or bacteriophage promoter, creating a synthetic hybrid promoter such as the tac promoter (see U.S. Pat. No. 4,551,433, Amann, Gene 25:167(1983) and de Boer, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 80:21(1983)). A bacterial promoter can include naturally occurring promoters of non-bacterial origin that have the ability to bind bacterial RNA polymerase and initiate transcription. A naturally occurring promoter of non-bacterial origin can be coupled with a compatible RNA polymerase to produce high levels of expression of some genes in prokaryotes. The bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase/promoter system is exemplary. (see Studier, J. Mol. Biol. 189:113(1986) and Tabor, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 82:1074(1985)).
In addition to a functioning promoter sequence, an efficient ribosome binding site is also useful for the expression of the DNA sequence or fragment thereof in prokaryotes. In E. coli, the ribosome binding site is called the Shine-Dalgarno (SD) sequence and includes an initiation codon (ATG) and a sequence 3-9 nucleotides in length located 3-11 nucleotides upstream of the initiation codon (see Shine, Nature 254:34(1975). The SD sequence is thought to promote binding of mRNA to the ribosome by the pairing of bases between the SD sequence and the 3' and of E. coli 16S rRNA (see Steitz, Biological Regulation and Development: Gene Expression (ed. R. F. Goldberger)(1979)).
The novel Toledo or Towne proteins of the invention can be expressed intracellularly. A promoter sequence can be directly linked with a novel Toledo or Towne DNA sequence, analog or a fragment thereof, in which case the first amino acid at the N-terminus will always be a methionine, which is encoded by the ATG start codon. If desired, methionine at the N-terminus can be cleaved from the protein by in vitro incubation with cyanogen bromide or by either in vivo on in vitro incubation with a bacterial methionine N-terminal peptidase. See EP Patent Pub. No. 219 237.
Fusion proteins provide an alternative to direct expression. Typically, a DNA sequence encoding the N-terminal portion of an endogenous bacterial protein, or other stable protein, is fused to the 5' end of heterologous coding sequences. Upon expression, this construct will provide a fusion of the two amino acid sequences. For example, the bacteriophage lambda cell gene can be linked at the 5' terminus of an sequence fragment thereof and expressed in bacteria. The resulting fusion protein preferably retains a site for a processing enzyme (factor Xa) to cleave the bacteriophage protein from the sequence or fragment thereof (see Nagai, Nature 309:810(1984). Fusion proteins can also be made with sequences from the lacZ gene (Jia, Gene 60:197(1987),the trpE gene (Allen, J. Biotechnol. 5:93(1987) and Makoff, J. Gen. Microbiol. 135:11(1989), and the Chey gene (EP Patent Pub. No. 324 647) genes. The DNA sequence at the junction of the two amino acid sequences may or may not encode a clearable site. Another example is a ubiquitin fusion protein. Such a fusion protein is made with the ubiquitin region that preferably retains a site for a processing enzyme (e.g., ubiquitin specific processing-protease) to cleave the ubiquitin from the polypeptide. Through this method, mature Towne or Toledo polypeptides can be isolated. See Miller, Bio/Technology 7:698(1989).
Alternatively, proteins or polypeptides can also be secreted from the cell by creating chimeric DNA molecules that encode a fusion protein comprised of a signal peptide sequence fragment that provides for secretion of the proteins or polypeptides in bacteria. (See, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,336,336). The signal sequence fragment typically encodes a signal peptide comprised of hydrophobic amino acids which direct the secretion of the protein from the cell. The protein is either secreted into the growth media (gram-positive bacteria) or into the periplasmic space, located between the inner and outer membrane of the cell (gram-negative bacteria). Preferably there are processing sites, which can be cleaved either in vivo or in vitro encoded between the signal peptide fragment and the protein or polypeptide.
DNA encoding suitable signal sequences can be derived from genes for secreted bacterial proteins, such as the E. coli outer membrane protein gene (ompA) (Masui, Experimental Manipulation of Gene Expression (1983) and Ghrayeb, EMBO J. 3:2437(1984)) and the E. coli alkaline phosphatase signal sequence (ohoA) (see Oka, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 82:7212(1985). The signal sequence of the alpha-amylase gene from various Bacilus strains can be used to secrete heterologous proteins from B. subtilis (see Palva, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 79:5582(1982) and EP Patent Pub. No. 244 042).
Transcription termination sequences recognized by bacteria are regulatory regions located 3' to the translation stop codon. Together with the promoter they flank the coding sequence. These sequences direct the transcription of an mRNA which can be translated into the Towne or Toledo protein or polypeptide encoded by the DNA sequence. Transcription termination sequences frequently include DNA sequences of about 50 nucleotides capable of forming stem loop structures that aid in terminating transcription. Examples include transcription termination sequences derived from genes with strong promoters, such as the trp gene in E. coli as well as other biosynthetic genes.
Typically, the promoter, signal sequence (if desired), coding sequence of interest, and transcription termination sequence are maintained in an extrachromosomal element (e.g., a plasmid) capable of stable maintenance in the bacterial host. The plasmid will have a replication system, thus allowing it to be maintained in the bacterial host either for expression or for cloning and amplification. In addition, the plasmid can be either a high or low copy number plasmid. A high copy number plasmid will generally have a copy number ranging from about 5 to about 200, and typically about 10 to about 150. A host containing a high copy number plasmid will preferably contain at least about 10, and more preferably at least about 20 plasmids.
Alternatively, the expression constructs can be integrated into the bacterial genome with an integrating vector. Integrating vectors typically contain at least one sequence homologous to the bacterial chromosome that allows the vector to integrate. Integrations appear to result from recombinations between homologous DNA in the vector and the bacterial chromosome. See e.g., EP Patent Pub. No. 127 328.
Typically, extrachromosomal and integrating expression constructs can contain selectable markers to allow for the selection of bacterial strains that have been transformed. Selectable markers can be expressed in the bacterial host and can include genes which render bacteria resistant to drugs such as ampicillin, choramphericol, erythromycin, kanamycin (neomycin), and tetracycline (see Davies, Ann. Rev. Microbiol. 32:469(1978). Selectable markers can also include biosynthetic genes, such as those in the histidine, tryptophan, and leucine biosynthetic pathways.
Alternatively, some of the above described components can be put together in transformation vectors. Transformation vectors are typically comprised of a selectable marker that is either maintained in an extrachromosal vector or an integrating vector, as described above.
Expression and transformation vectors, either extra-chromosornal or integrating, have been developed for transformation into many bacteria. Exemplary are the expression vectors disclosed in Palva, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 79:5582(1982), EP Patent Pub. Nos. 036 259 and 063 953 and PCT Patent Publication WO 84/04541 (for B.subtilis); in Shimatake, Nature 292:128(1981), Amann, Gene 40:183(1985), Studier, J. Mol. Biol. 189:113(1986) and EP Patent Pub.

Methods of introducing exogenous DNA into bacterial hosts are well-known in the art, and typically include either the transformation of bacteria treated with CaCl.sub.2 or other agents, such as divalent cations and DMSO. DNA can also be introduced into bacterial cells by electroporation. Exemplary methodologies can be found in Masson, FEMS Microbiol. Let. 60:273(1989), Palva, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 79:5582(1982), EP Patent Pub. Nos. 036 259 and 063 953 and PCT Patent Pub. WO 84/04541 for Bacillus transformation. For campylobacter transformation, see e.g., Miller, Proc. Natl. Acad.

The present invention is illustrated by the following examples.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A. Cells and virus
Human CMV strains AD169, Towne and Toledo were obtained from E. S. Mocarski (Stanford University) and were used for all experiments. Two of these strains are also available through the ATCC, Accession Nos. VR-538 (AD169) and VR-977 (Towne). Virus was grown in cultures of human foreskin fibroblast (HF) cells with Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DME) (JRH Biosciences, Lenexa, Kans.) as previously described in Spaete and Mocarski, J. Virol 56:13543(1985), but supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS) (JRH Biosciences, Lenexa, Kans.), L-glutamine (2 mM), penicillin (100 units/ml), streptomycin (0.1 mg/ml) and pyruvate (1 mM). To prepare AD169, Towne and Toledo strain CMV DNAs by centrifugation to equilibrium on NaI gradients as previously described in Spaete and Mocarski, J. Virol 54:817-24(1985), roller bottles were infected with the CMV strains at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.001 plaque forming units (pfu)/cell to minimize the production of defective virus particles. The infected cells were refed at four days post infection with medium. At eight days post infection when the monolayer was well infected, cells were scraped into a 50 ml conical tube in 10 mis media per roller bottle and pelleted at 1000 revolutions per minute (rpm) for 10 minutes. Pellets were resuspended in 2.0 ml 0.01 M Tris and 0.01 EDTA (TE) (pH 7.4) with 1% NP40, 1% deoxycholate and incubated on ice until all cellular nuclei were lysed when viewed under a microscope. Lysates were transferred to a 2059 tube (Falcon) and spun at 2600 rpm for 5 minutes at 4.degree. C. Supernatants were transferred to another 2059 tube and RNAse (Worthington-DNase free) was added at 50 .mu.g/ml followed immediately by Proteinase K (200 .mu.mg/ml) and 1% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Supernatants were incubated in a 65.degree. C. water bath for 60 minutes, brought to 16 ml with TE, pH 7.4, added to 24 mls of saturated NaI and 0.15 ml ethidium bromide (5 mg/ml). Samples were centrifuged to equilibrium at 55,000 rpm at 20.degree. C. for 24 hours in a Beckman Ti70 rotor, Fractions containing the viral DNA were extracted with butanol equilibrated with TE with gentle rocking followed by centrifugation at 3,000 rpm for 10 min at 20.degree. C. and further extracted 2 to 3 times with butanol to reduce volume. Samples were extracted with an equal volume of isoamyl alcohol equilibrated with TE, spun and re-extracted. DNA was dialyzed against three changes of TE with 1% phenol and 1 M NaCl. The OD.sub.260 and OD.sub.280 were read to determine purity of the AD169, Toledo and Towne DNA.
Clinical isolates were obtained from M. Fiala (Rancho Mirage, Calif.), and S. Chou (Oregon Health Sciences University). Rapid isolation of HCMV infected cell viral DNA was carried out as previously described in Spaete and Frenkel, Cell 30:295-304(1982), except that DNA was not radiolabeled before purification. Briefly, infected cell monolayers (25 cm.sup.2 flasks) were rinsed twice with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and lysed in a 1.0 ml solution of 0.1 M NaCl, TE, pH 8.0, 0.05% SDS and 0.1 mg/ml Proteinase K. Lysates were incubated 2-24 hours at 37.degree. C., extracted twice with 1 volume of phenol, 1 volume of chloroform followed by centrifugation at 2500 rpm for 5 minutes to separate phases. The aqueous phase was extracted twice with 1 volume of ether and the DNA was precipitated with 0.1 volume 3 M NaAC and two volumes of ethanol or isopropanol. DNA was chilled, collected by centrifugation or spooled on a glass rod, dried and resuspended in TE.
B. Plasmid DNA
Plasmids pXbaI E, pXbaI T and pXbaI Q (Thomsen and Stinski, 1981), representing Towne strain map units 0.69 to 0.8, were obtained from M. Stinski (University of Iowa).
Clone 65 was derived by cloning a gel extracted BamHI digested Toledo DNA fragment into the BamHI site of plasmid, pGEM.RTM.-3Zf+ (Promega, Madison, Wis.) Briefly, five .mu.g of Toledo DNA was digested with 40 units of BamHI and electrophoresed in a preparative 1% low-melting-point agarose gel for 490 volt hours in 1.times.TAE buffer. Toledo DNA migrating at ca. 5 kilobase pairs (kbp) was excised and the agarose was digested with 2 units of .beta.-agarase I (New England BioLabs, Beverly, Mass.). This DNA fragment was precipitated with 2 volumes of isopropanol, chilled to -20.degree. C., spun in an Eppendorf centrifuge for 15 minutes, dried and resuspended in 50 .mu.l TE. The gel extracted fragment was ligated to BamHI digested pGEM.RTM.-3Zf+ using T4 DNA ligase (New England BioLabs, Beverly, Mass.), and an aliquot of the ligation mixture was used to transform competent Escherichia coli XL-1 Blues (Stratagene, La Jolla, Calif.) by the calcium shock method (Mandel and Higa, 1970), or by electroporation using methods as written in the Pulse Controller Guide published by BioRad (Richmond, Calif.).
Cosmid 1 is a ca. 53 kbp partially digested HindIII fragment of Toledo DNA spanning 0.69 to 0.87 map units cloned into cosmid pHC79 (Hohn and Collins, 1980) obtained from E. S. Mocarski (Stanford University). Subcloned from cosmid 1 were the following:
Clones 4 and C1300 were derived by cloning BamHI digested fragments from Cosmid 1 cloned into a Bluescript M13+ plasmid vector. As such, these clones represent Toledo DNA sequence spanning portions of Cosmid 1.
Clone C23K was derived as a complete BamHI digested fragment of Cosmid 1 DNA and circularized by ligation.
C. Preparation of radioactively labeled probes and hybridization
Plasmid or viral DNA was radioactively labeled in vitro by nick translation (Rigby et al., 1977) with a kit (Boehringer Mannheim), and using [.alpha..sup.32 P]dCTP (Amersham Corp.). Hybridizations to immobilized CMV DNA were performed essentially as described by Spaete and Mocarski, J. Virol 54:817-24 (1985), but at 68.degree. C. in a solution of 6.times.SSC (1.times.SSC is 0.15 M NaCl plus 0.015 M sodium citrate), 0.2% polyvinylpyrrolidone, 0.2% Ficoll, 0.2% bovine serum albumin, and 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate, with the amount of salmon sperm DNA being changed from 25 .mu.g/ml to 100 .mu.g/ml and 30% formamide being reduced to 15%.
DNA was transferred to Hybond-N+ nylon transfer membranes (Amersham Corp.), after restriction enzyme digestion and electrophoresis in 1% agarose gels by standard techniques (Maniatis et al., 1982). DNA was cross-linked to the membrane with 120,000 microjoules/cm.sup.2 of UV irradiation using a UV Crosslinker 1000 (Hoefer Scientific Instruments, San Francisco, Calif.). Membranes were prehybridized 1 hour at 68.degree. C. in solution A (6.times.SSC, 0.2% polyvinylpyrrolidone, 0.2% Ficoll, 0.2% bovine serum albumin, 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate, 100 .mu.g/ml salmon sperm DNA and 15% formamide), then nick-translated [.alpha..sup.32 P]-labeled probe in a solution containing 100 .mu.g/ml salmon sperm DNA was denatured by boiling for five minutes, snap-cooled on ice, added to the membrane and allowed to hybridize overnight at 68.degree. C. After hybridization, unannealed probe was removed by rinsing the membrane 3.times. with 2.times.SSC followed by reincubation in solution A lacking salmon sperm DNA at 68.degree. C. for 15 minutes. The washing procedure was repeated, the blot was rinsed in a large volume of 2.times.SSC at room temperature, the membrane was air dried and autoradiographed using Kodak X-AR film.
D. Nucleotide sequence determination and analysis
All nucleic acid sequences were determined by the dideoxynucleotide chain termination method (Sanger et al., 1977). A variety of templates were prepared for sequencing; they included single-stranded phage DNA, double-stranded plasmid and cosmid DNA, viral genomic DNA, and PCR products. Manual and automated sequencing (with an ABI 373A instrument) were employed. Both one-cycle and multi-cycle sequencing protocols were used. The sequence was determined for both strands. Ambiguous regions were corrected by additional sequencing after proofreading. The primers used for sequencing were synthesized on an ABI 392 instrument (Applied Biosystems). The contig and analysis of the sequence were performed using MacDNASIS (Hitachi). The homology searches were performed using the BLAST program through NCBI services.
EXAMPLE 1
Identification of Novel Sequences in the Genomes of CMV Towne and Toledo Strain Isolates
To determine the cross representation of DNA sequences in the Towne and Toledo strains of CMV, viral DNA from each strain was digested to completion with XbaI, ClaI, BamHI, BglII, EcoRI, and HindIII. After electrophoresis through a 1% agarose gel, the CMV DNAs were denatured in 0.2 M NaCl/0.6 M NaOH, neutralized in 0.6 M NaCl/1 M Tris, pH 7.5, in situ, and the gel was soaked in 20.times.SSC for 30 minutes. Stereo blots were prepared by placing identically sized Hybond-N+ nylon membranes (Amersham Corp.), on either side of the gel and transferring the DNAs to the membranes in both directions using the capillary action of paper towels. After blotting overnight in 20.times.SSC, the membranes were washed in 2.times.SSC and the DNA was immobilized on the membrane by UV irradiation as described above.
DNA probes of Towne and Toledo DNA with an average size of 500 bp were prepared by sonicating 10 .mu.g of each DNA in a 2063 tube (Falcon Plastics) using 4 pulses of 10 seconds each at a setting of 3 on a Heat Systems, Inc. sonicator (Farmingdale, N.Y.). Following sonication, the viral DNAs were digested with the restriction enzymes AvaI, BanI and BfaI, to further reduce the size complexity of the probe DNA. These enzymes were chosen because a search of the AD169 DNA database sequences (EMBL accession number X17403), revealed abundant cut sites (326, 386, and 341, respectively); their restriction enzyme digestion buffers are compatible; and their sites do not overlap. Ethidium bromide stained gels of the sheared viral DNAs prepared in this manner revealed a range of DNA sizes from 1300 bp to less than 100 bp, with the majority of DNA migrating at approximately 300 bp as judged by comigration with a HaeIII digested .O slashed.X174 DNA standard marker (New England BioLabs, Beverly, Mass.). The Towne and Toledo sheared probe DNA was then nick translated using [.alpha..sup.32 P]dCTP (Amersham Corp.) as described above and each probe was applied to stereo blots of immobilized, restriction enzyme digested, Towne and Toledo DNAs. After hybridization and autoradiography, the hybridization patterns were analyzed to determine the fragments on each DNA profile which did not hybridize with the heterologous strain probe but did hybridize with the homologous strain probe. For example, the loss of a signal for a prominent 5 kbp band on the BamHI digest of Toledo DNA when using the Towne probe, which was present when the Toledo DNA was used to probe itself, revealed a region of sequence divergence between the two isolates (see FIG. 3).
This 5 kbp fragment was cloned by gel extraction as described above and designated clone 65. The clone 65 Toledo DNA was sequenced in its entirety and compared to Towne DNA sequence generated from the pXbaI T clone which was shown to be divergent from AD169 DNA sequences (see Example 2 below). The full sequence of clone 65 is shown in FIG. 1. In FIG. 1, Clone 65 begins with nucleotide 4664 and ends with nucleotide 9327. Surprisingly, the DNA from the pXbaI T clone of Towne DNA (1,856 bp) and clone 65 of Toledo DNA (4,668 bp) shared 104 bp of sequence identity. This small stretch of sequence homology allowed mapping of the region of Toledo DNA divergence to the boundary of the Unique Long (U.sub.L) component and the inverted repeats (alternatively termed IRL or b' sequences) on the AD169 and Towne DNA maps. These newly isolated Toledo strain nucleotide sequences from clone 65 were not represented in the reference laboratory strain, AD169, which has been sequenced in its entirety by Chee and colleagues (EMBL accession number X17403).
EXAMPLE 2
Identification of Novel Sequences in the Genome of CMV Towne Not Found in Reference Strain AD169
DNA sequence heterogeneity between the Towne strain and the AD169 strain has been found. See, Pritchett, J. Virology 36:152-61 (1980). However, although the gross structural organization of the CMV genome has been determined and strain to strain restriction site polymorphisms have been mapped for many strains, strain-to-strain differences on the nucleotide level have not been determined. The laboratory strain AD169 was the first CMV isolate to be sequenced and has served as the reference strain in defining the genetic complexity of the CMV genome.
In order to examine nucleotide sequence differences between Towne and AD169, we focused on the region shown to be divergent in the Toledo strain, i.e. the boundary between the U.sub.L component and the b' sequences, as explained in detail in Example 1. Plasmid pXbaI T was labeled using the NEBlot.TM. Phototopel Detection Kit (New England Biolabs, Beverly, Mass.), and used as a probe on blots of immobilized restriction enzyme digested Towne, Toledo and AD169 DNAs. Briefly, pXbaI T was linearized with PvuII, ethanol precipitated and resuspended in 34 .mu.l of nuclease free water. The plasmid was denatured in boiling water for five minutes, snap cooled on ice for five minutes and centrifuged briefly at 4.degree. C. The following reagents were added to the tube in the order listed: 10 .mu.l of 5.times. labeling mix, 5 .mu.l of dNTP mix, 1 .mu.l of DNA polymerase I (Klenow fragment). The mix was incubated at 37.degree. C. for 6 hours and the reaction was terminated by adding 5 .mu.l of 0.2 M EDTA, pH 8.0. The probe was precipitated by adding 5 .mu.l of 4 M LiCl and 150 .mu.l of ethanol, chilling to -80.degree. C. for 30 minutes, pelleted in an Eppendorf centrifuge, washed with 70% ethanol and resuspended in 20 .mu.l of Resuspension Buffer as supplied by the kit. The hybridization reaction was essentially as described above except that after hybridization the membrane was washed twice in 2.times.SSC, 0.1% SDS at room temperature for 5 minutes each followed by two washes in 0.1.times.SSC, 0.1% SDS at 68.degree. C. for 15 minutes. The detection reactions link the biotinylated probes to alkaline phosphatase through a strepavidin bridge and the hybridized probe was visualized by cleavage of the Lumigen-PPD substrate. The blocking steps, strepavidin incubation, alkaline phosphatase incubation and Lumigen-PPD reaction were carried out as described in the kit manual. Exposure of the blots to Kodak XAR film revealed that, as expected, (i) an XbaI digested fragment of sized 1.85 kbp (XbaI T) was hybridized on Towne DNA probed with pXbaI T and (ii) a comigrating XbaI digested fragment was present in Toledo DNA. The AD169 DNA failed to show any hybridization signal on any of the restriction enzyme digestion patterns. Nucleotide sequence of pXbaI T confirmed the total lack of identity of the Towne DNA and AD169 DNA. Nucleotide sequencing of cosmid I DNA (see B. Plasmid DNA in Material and Methods, above) from Toledo revealed extensive sequence identity between the newly identified Towne DNA and the Toledo DNA of cosmid 1 in this region. Surprisingly, the orientation of the sequence was reversed in Toledo relative to Towne.
EXAMPLE 3
Identification of Novel Toledo DNA Sequences in the Genomes of Recent Clinical Isolates and not Found in Reference Strain AD169
To determine the penetrance of sequences represented by clone 65 in recent clinical isolates, five representative clinical isolates (HCMVF, C128, C354, C793 and C980) were digested with restriction enzymes BamHI and XbaI along with the Toledo, Towne and AD169 DNAs prepared as described in the Materials and Methods section above, electrophoresed through agarose, transferred to a Hybond-N+ nylon transfer membrane, and probed with nick-translated [.alpha..sup.32 P]-labeled clone 65 according to the procedures outlined in the Materials and Methods section. As can be seen in FIG. 4, the autoradiographs revealed that homology was detected in all of the clinical isolates. In FIG. 4, a band at ca. 5 kbp is visible in lane 1 (the Toledo DNA), appears in Towne DNA (lane 2), is missing from lane 3 (the AD 169 DNA), and visible in lanes 4 through 8 (the clinical isolates HCMVF, C128, C354, C793 and C980). These results demonstrate that the newly isolated sequence found in the Toledo strain of HCMV is also present in the recent clinical isolates but is not present in the AD169 reference strain. Nucleotide sequence analysis reveals the reason for the weak hybridization signal to the Towne DNA fragment is due to the existence of only 151 nucleotides of sequence identity with Towne DNA. The shared 104 bp sequence identity in Example 1 is responsible for a weak hybridization signal to DbaI "T" sized fragments from both Towne and Toledo DNAs seen in the XbaI digests (lanes 9 and 10). The XbaI digest of the clinical isolates (lanes 12 through 16) also reveals hybridization to multiple high molecular weight bands. Analysis of these and other clinical isolate genomes with other probes in the region has revealed that the shared sequences may be in inverted orientation in some isolates relative to the orientation in the Toledo strain.
FIG. 6 is a schematic illustration of the relative positions of novel sequences identified in Toledo genomic DNA, Towne genomic DNA in a comparison with AD169 strain genomic DNA. The dashed lines delimit the region of the genome where homologous and divergent sequences are found. The top line illustrates a Toledo DNA restriction map showing BamHI (indicated by "B") and XbaI (indicated by "X") restriction enzyme sites extending between the homology breakpoints identified by inverted triangles at nucleotides 175068 and 188843 (numbered with reference to the AD169 DNA sequence--EMBL accession number X17403). Subclones 4, 1300, C23K and 65 of the Toledo DNA sequence are shown in boxes above the map. An inverted region of homology with respect to Towne is shown by the inverted triangles between nucleotides 178221 and 175082. Unique sequences are shown by a thin line, and inverted repeat sequences denoted by thick lines, b'a'c'. The end of the c' repeats is shown with an arrow at nucleotide 191412. The muddle line illustrates a Towne DNA restriction map showing BamHI (B) and XbaI (X) restriction enzyme sites as described above for Toledo and showing XbaI clones E, T, and Q in boxes below. Shaded area refers to homologous regions shared with Toledo DNA but inverted in orientation. Nucleotide numbers shown are with reference to the AD169 DNA sequence. Undetermined extent of b' repeat sequences in the Towne strain is shown by thin lines at AD169 strain nucleotide reference 180034. The bottom line illustrates the AD169 genome displayed in the prototype orientation. Unique sequences are displayed by a tin line, and inverted repeats of the long (U.sub.L) and short (U.sub.S) components are denoted by boxes, ab-b'a', and a'c'-ca. The a sequence, is a terminal direct repeat with an inverted copy (a'), at the junction of the long and short components. The length of the AD169 DNA sequence is indicated as 229354 nucleotides and the map position of the internal repeats are shown with the nucleotide reference numbers and arrows.
EXAMPLE 4
Open Reading Frame Analysis of the Novel Toledo and Towne DNA Sequences
The novel Toledo and Towne sequences encoded potential open reading frames (ORPs). Using an arbitrarily chosen parameter of 10 kiloDaltons as the minimum calculated protein molecular weight, a total of 36 ORFs were identified in the novel Toledo sequence and a total of 4 ORFs were identified in the novel Towne sequence. The putative amino acid sequences of these ORFs are set forth in the sequence listing (SEQ ID NOS:2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27). FIG. 5 shows the schematic presentation of these ORFs in the novel Toledo and Towne DNA sequences, together with previously reported AD169 ORFs of the corresponding region. Names were assigned for these ORFs starting from UL133 as the first ORE at the left side of the UL in Toledo sequence. The first ORF in the novel Towne sequence was assigned as UL147, which was determined to be present in the novel Toledo sequence disclosed here. UL130 and UL132 in AD169 were determined to be present in the novel Toledo sequence. Additionally, UL153 and UL154 exhibited regions of homology to IRL14 and IRL12, respectively. All ORFs were searched for homologous sequence in the nonredundant databases of NCBI using the BLASTP program. Among all ORFs searched, only UL132 identified a homologue in the database, which was HCMV mtrIII (GenBank Accession No. X75606), exhibiting 76% identity at the amino acid level. The solid circle identified the ORFs that contained the potential N-linked glycosylation site sequence, N-X(-P)-S/T. These potential glycoproteins may be biologically significant as antigenic or immunogenic molecules.
