AI Article Synopsis

  • Researchers analyzed four complete genomes of parvovirus B19 from human amniotic fluid of pregnant women in France with abnormal ultrasound results.
  • The total genome length is 5,596 nucleotides and features long terminal repeats.
  • Notable amino acid changes were found in the nonstructural protein (NS1) during the analysis.

Article Abstract

We report the sequences of four complete genomes of parvovirus B19, extracted from human amniotic fluid specimens collected from pregnant women with abnormal ultrasound features in France. The genome sequences are 5,596 nucleotides long and include long terminal repeats. Several amino acid substitutions were observed in nonstructural protein (NS1).

Retroviruses can be detected by the innate immune sensor cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS), which recognizes reverse-transcribed DNA and activates an antiviral response. However, the extent to which HIV-1 shields its genome from cGAS recognition remains unclear. To study this process in mechanistic detail, we reconstituted reverse transcription, genome release, and innate immune sensing of HIV-1 in a cell-free system.
