Abstract:

Objective   To investigate the sequence of  5′ untranslated region (5′ UTR) in genomes from enterovirus 71 strains isolated in Linyi, Shandong province in 2009 and analyse the candidate locuses that were related to neurovirulence. Methods   8 EV71 strains were isolated from the patients′ feces samples.  5′UTR in genomes were amplified by RT-PCR and the sequences were analyzed by DNAstar and MEGA 4 softwares. Results   Lengths of 5′UTR for the 8 strains were in the range of 741-745 nt. Nucleotide sequence identities for 5′UTR were 97.0%-99.9%. The 5′UTR nucleotide sequences of 8 EV71 strains exhibited highest homology to the subtype C4 of EV71. Two mutations (G265A and G703T) in 5′UTR were found by nucleotide sequence analysis. The phylogenetic analysis based on 5′UTR showed that 8 EV71 strains had the closest genetic relationship with the representative strains of C4 subtype of EV71. Conclusion   The 8 EV71 strains belong to C4 subtype. Nucleotide mutations (G265A and G703T) might be relevant to neurovirulence of EV71.
