摘要

© 2023 The AuthorsSchmallenberg Virus (SBV), an arbovirus from the Peribunyaviridae family and Orthobunyavirus genus, was discovered in late 2011 in Germany and has been circulating in Europe, Asia and Africa ever since. The virus causes a disease associated with ruminants that includes fever, fetal malformation, drop in milk production, diarrhoea and stillbirths, becoming a burden for small and large farms. Building on previous studies on SBV nucleoprotein (SBV-N) as a promising vaccine candidate, we have investigated the possible protein regions responsible for protection. Based on selective truncation of domains designed from the available crystal structure of the SBV-N, we identified both the N-terminal domain (N-term; Met1 – Thr133) and a smaller fragment within (C4; Met1 – Ala58) as vaccine prototypes. Two injections of the N-term and C4 polypeptides protected mice knockout for type I interferon (IFN) receptors (IFNAR-/-) challenged with virulent SBV, opposite to control groups that presented severe signs of morbidity and weight loss. Viremia analyses along with the presence of IFN-γ secreted from splenocytes re-stimulated with the N-terminal region of the protein corroborate that these two portions of SBV-N can be employed as subunit vaccines. Apart from both proteinaceous fragments being easily produced in bacterial cells, the C4 polypeptide shares a high sequence homology (∼87.1 ) with the corresponding region of nucleoproteins of several viruses of the Simbu serogroup, a group of Orthobunyaviruses that comprises SBV and veterinary pathogens like Akabane virus and human infecting viruses like Oropouche. Thus, we propose that this smaller fragment is better suited for vaccine nanoparticle formulation, and it paves the way to further research with other related Orthobunyaviruses.
