). In other genera of the family Picornaviridae (e.g. aphtho-, cardio-, erbo- and teschoviruses), the 2A protein produces an apparent co-translational ‘cleavage’ at its C terminus only requiring 2A plus the N-terminal proline of 2B (Ryan & Drew, 1994; Fig. 1a). This is produced by a translational effect (ribosome ‘skipping’) rather than proteolysis (Ryan et al., 1999; Donnelly et al., 2001a; de Felipe et al., 2003).

30 aa upstream of the 2A/2B cleavage site (Donnelly et al., 1997, 2001b). This length is consistent with our model of the cleavage mechanism, where 2A is proposed to interact with the exit tunnel of the ribosome to conformationally restrict the peptidyl-tRNA ester linkage, precluding it from nucleophilic attack by prolyl-tRNA in the A site of the ribosome (Ryan et al., 1999; Donnelly et al., 2001a).
A motif comprising the seven C-terminal residues of 2A and the N-terminal proline of protein 2B (underlined) is conserved (-DxExNPG
P-, where ‘x’=any amino acid). With this motif, databases were analysed using PATTINPROT (Pôle BioIformatique Lyonnais) and PSI-BLAST (NBCI; http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). The positions of 2A/2A-like sequences (2As) in a number of RNA viruses are shown in Fig. 1(b)

), Saffold virus (SAF-V; Jones et al., 2007), porcine teschoviruses (PTV; Zell et al., 2001), Ljungan virus (LV; Lindberg & Johansson, 2002), Seneca valley virus (SVV; unpublished, GenBank accession no. DQ641257) and duck hepatitis virus (DHV-1 Kim et al., 2006; Tseng et al., 2007; New-DHV; Tseng & Tsai, 2007). 2As were also identified in newly characterized positive ssRNA insect viruses: (i) two in the iflaviruses Perina nuda picorna-like virus (PnPV; Wu et al., 2002) and Ectropis obliqua picorna-like virus (EoPV; Wang et al., 2004), (ii) a single 2A in the cripaviruses (family Dicistroviridae) acute bee paralysis virus (ABPV; Govan et al., 2000), Kashmir bee virus (KBV; de Miranda et al., 2004) and Israel acute paralysis virus (IAPV; Maori et al., 2007) and (iii) a sequence in the betatetravirus (family Tetraviridae) Euprosterna elaeasa virus (EeV; Gorbalenya et al., 2002) and three 2As in Providence virus (PrV; Pringle et al., 2003; Fiona M. Pringle and L. Andrew Ball, personal communication).
We have previously reported the presence of active 2As in dsRNA type C rotavirus segment 6 (Donnelly et al., 2001b). Re-analysing the databases revealed other 2As present within members of the family Reoviridae: (i) segment 5 of the human non-A, B, C rotavirus new adult diarrhea virus (ADRV-N; Yang et al., 2004) and (ii) segment 5 of the insect Operophtera brumata cypovirus-18 (OpbuCPV-18; Graham et al., 2006), Lymantria dispar cypovirus 1 (LdCPV-1; Rao et al., 2003), Bombyx mori cypovirus 1 (BmCPV-1; Hagiwara et al., 2001) and Dendrolimus punctatus cypovirus 1 (DpCPV-1; Zhao et al., 2003). Furthermore, two 2As were found within the open reading frame (ORF) 1 of the dsRNA infectious myonecrosis virus of penaeid shrimp (IMNV; Poulos et al., 2006; Nibert, 2007).
Sequences not completely matching the -DxExNPGP- motif were also identified: (i) three viruses belonging to the genus Iflavirus, Deformed wing virus (DWV; Lanzi et al., 2006), Kakugo virus (KV; Fujiyuki et al., 2004) and Varroa destructor virus-1 (VDV-1; Ongus et al., 2004) and (ii) the unclassified picorna-like Acyrthosiphon pisum virus (APV; Van der Wilk et al., 1997).
To study the activity of these 2As, plasmids were constructed to encode a single ORF consisting of green fluorescent protein (GFP), a longer (30 aa) version of 2A and β-glucuronidase (GUS; Donnelly et al., 2001b). Oligonucleotide primers used are listed in Supplementary Table S2 (available in JGV Online). Rabbit reticulocyte lysate in vitro translation system (TNT T7 Quick Coupled Transcription/Translation System; Promega) was used to determine the cleavage activity of these new 2As. Proteins synthesized de novo were labelled with [35S]methionine (5 µCi, 185 kBq) and reactions were incubated at 30 °C for 90 min. Translation products were analysed by 10 % SDS-PAGE (Fig. 1c) and the distribution of the radiolabel was quantified by using phosphorimaging. ‘Cleavage’ activities were calculated as described previously (Donnelly et al., 2001b) and are the mean of three independent translation reactions.
In these in vitro systems, we typically observed three products: (i) low-level of [GFP-2A-GUS] uncleaved product, (ii) GUS and (iii) [GFP-2A] cleavage products. However, in picornavirus-infected cells, no proteins were detected that spanned the 2A/2B cleavage site (data not shown). Here, the longer versions of 2A more closely reflected the cleavage activities observed in vivo [99 % with sequences of the family Picornaviridae such as FMDV, equine rhinitis B virus 1 (ERBV-1), SAF-V and LV, Fig. 1(c)]. A variation from the consensus motif (-DVESNLGP-) reported in FMDV was found to be inactive (data not shown), consistent with analyses of site-directed mutants at this position (Donnelly et al., 2001b). Interestingly, a rare substitution within this region (Ser
Pro; -DVEPNPGP-; Oem et al., 2004; Carrillo et al., 2005) cleaved highly efficiently (99 %; data not shown).
In insect iflaviruses, like the mammalian picornaviruses, 2A separates the capsid and the replicative protein domains (Fig. 1b). Previous analysis of infectious flacherie virus (IFV; Isawa et al., 1998) 2A showed lower cleavage (63 %; Donnelly et al., 2001b). Again, the longer version was enough to enhance cleavage to 99 %, as with IFV and PnPV (Fig. 1c). Interestingly, in the cases of PnPV and EoPV, both viruses have a second 2A between the structural VP2 and VP4 proteins (Fig. 1b) that is also highly efficient (99 %; Fig. 1c).
In members of the family Dicistroviridae, 2A occurs at the N-terminal region of the replicative protein ORF (Fig. 1b). We have shown previously a high cleavage activity of the 18 aa 2As from Drosophila C virus (DCV, 95 %; Donnelly et al., 2001b) and ABPV (94 %; Hughes 2003). The lower levels reported for cricket paralysis virus (CrPV, 88 %; Hughes 2003) were only marginally improved by extending the 2A sequence to 30 aa (90 %, Fig. 1c).
Members of the insect family Tetraviridae, Thosea asigna virus (TaV), EeV and PrV (2A3) encode a 2A at the N terminus of the structural ORF (Fig. 1b), which shows high cleavage activity (99 %, Fig. 1c; Donnelly et al., 2001b). PrV (2A1), in a non-structural ORF, cleaves very efficiently (99 %, Fig. 1c), while PrV 2A2 has a somewhat lower activity (94 %; Fig. 1c).
Two genera of the dsRNA family Reoviridae contain viruses with 2As in one of the segments encoding a non-structural protein (Fig. 1b). In insect cypoviruses, a highly active 2A appears within segment 5 in BmCPV-1 and OpbuCPV-18 (99 %, Fig. 1c). In rotaviruses, cleavage in segment 5 of human ADRV-N is highly efficient (97 %, Fig. 1c), whereas in segment 6 of porcine and human type C rotaviruses it is lower (89 and 82 %, respectively; Fig. 1c).
In type C rotaviruses, 2A links the ssRNA-binding protein NSP3 to dsRNA-binding protein (dsRBP). Rotavirus mRNAs do not bear poly(A) tails and NSP3 circularizes rotaviral mRNAs (Piron et al., 1999; Jayaram et al., 2004). The dsRBPs downstream of 2A sequester viral dsRNA (>11–16 nt, without apparent sequence specificity) from the cellular sensors of dsRNA, counteracting the activation of the cellular antiviral interferon system (Langland et al., 1994). When segment 6 from the porcine C rotavirus was expressed, both in vitro and in COS-1 cells, similar to our in vitro analyses, three proteins were observed: a small amount of full-length [NSP3-2A-dsRBP] product and nearly equimolar amounts of [NSP3-2A] and the dsRBP cleavage products (Langland et al., 1994). Furthermore, [NSP3-2A-dsRBP] was detected in infected cells and it was shown to bind dsRNA. It is noteworthy that NSP3 forms dimers, which may add a further level of complexity since NSP3 could form heterodimers with [NSP3-2A-dsRBP]. The incomplete cleavage produced by 2A allows type C rotaviruses to generate a complex array of products at relatively high levels. No other translational control mechanism can produce this outcome.
The members of the family Totiviridae are non-segmented dsRNA viruses. The N-terminal domain of the IMNV polyprotein ORF1 encodes non-structural proteins with two 2As (Fig. 1b) that are highly active (99 %; Fig. 1c). Interestingly, although segment 6 in group C rotavirus encodes a different protein to that of segment 5 in ADRV-N (NSP3 and NSP1, respectively), the protein downstream of 2A, a dsRBP, is the same in both cases. This dsRBP forms the N terminus of IMNV ORF1 followed by 2A1. In this case, therefore, the dsRBP is ‘cleaved’ from ORF1 as a [dsRBP-2A] protein.
The cleavage activity of 2As not completely matching the -DxExNPGP- motif was also determined. The iflaviruses VDV-1, KV and DWV contain the motif (-MDNPNPGP-) in the N-terminal region of their polyproteins. The VDV-1 2A was chosen for analysis and no cleavage activity was observed (data not shown). The unclassified picorna-like virus APV -DLESNPPP- sequence was modified (ProGly, underlined) to closely resemble the consensus sequence (-DLESNPGP-). No cleavage activity was observed with either form of this sequence (data not shown).
Analyses of 2A-mediated cleavages suggest that they are of broadly two types. In most cases, very low levels of protein spanning the 2A tract are observed in our in vitro translation analyses. However, in CrPV, PrV-2A2 and type C rotaviruses there are appreciable levels (10 %) of uncleaved polyprotein in vitro. Currently, no data are available from CrPV- and PrV-infected cells.
Phylogenetic analyses of viruses containing 2As were performed to determine their evolutionary relationships by alignment of the RNA polymerases (RdRp) from 40 members of the picornavirus ‘supergroup’ and 19 other RNA viruses by using CLUSTAL W (Thompson et al., 1994). All viruses with a functional 2A sequence were included in this analysis. Related viruses (without 2A) from the same families were included to produce a comprehensive phylogenetic tree (Fig. 3). RdRp sequences from the family Tetraviridae were, of necessity, excluded since major domains of the tetravirus RdRp are ‘shuffled’ in comparison with other RNA viruses (Gorbalenya et al., 2002) and could not be aligned. Optimal alignments were obtained with the gap opening value set to 3 and gap extension set to 0.1. Phylogenetic trees were created using CLUSTAL_X 1.81 (neighbour-joining algorithm, Kimura substitution model) using the ‘exclude positions with gaps’ and ‘correct for multiple substitutions’ options. Phylogenetic trees were then visualized with NJPlot module. Phylogenetic relationships of the viruses were verified with previously published data. This analysis showed four major clusterings: two clusters with segmented dsRNA reoviruses (cypoviruses and rotaviruses), a single cluster with non-segmented dsRNA totiviruses and one comprising RdRps of all positive ssRNA viruses with separate branches formed by picornaviruses, iflaviruses and dicistroviruses (Fig. 3).

). Since 2A functions co-translationally (within the ribosome exit tunnel), we aligned these sequences such that no gaps were introduced by the algorithm (gap opening penalty=50, Fig. 2a). It is apparent that 2A sequences from related viruses do not necessarily form clusters corresponding to those obtained using RdRp sequences, but are distributed throughout various branches of the tree (Fig. 2b–e).
Capsid and replication proteins are separated in picornaviruses by three means: 3Cpro, 2Apro and the type of 2A that forms the subject of this paper. This region appears to be highly mutable – a recombinational hot-spot in entero- and aphthoviruses (Lukashev, 2005; Heath et al., 2006). Since the latter form of 2A is present in many genera, either 2A has been acquired/lost on multiple occasions, or 2A was acquired at an early stage of evolution and subsequently replaced with a proteinase in the entero-, rhinovirus lineage (Fig. 3).
Whilst 2A appears to have been acquired at a relatively early stage in picornavirus evolution, the reverse seems to be the case in the dicistroviruses – assuming a single acquisition event in the branch comprising DCV, CrPV, Solenopsis invicta virus 1 (SINV-1), IAPV, KBV and ABPV. It appears that SINV-1 has lost 2A. Indeed, alignments show that SINV-1 has a large deletion of the N terminus of ORF1 (Valles et al., 2004).
Similarly, acquisition of 2A appears to have occurred at a relatively late stage in the evolution of the members of the family Reoviridae. In cypoviruses, only the CPV-1 and -18 lineages possess 2As, while closely related viruses do not (e.g. LdCPV-14). In rotaviruses, a [2A-like/dsRBP] ‘module’ has been acquired by different RNA segments/proteins diverging into two forms: low cleavage (type C rotaviruses) and high cleavage (ADVR-N). Similarly, among the members of the family Totiviridae, only IMNV possesses a [2A-like/dsRBP] module (plus another downstream 2A).
A more complex pattern is observed in the iflaviruses. Here, analyses of both 2A and the polymerase sequences show IFV is much more distantly related to PnPV/EoPV (Figs 2c and 3). Two explanations seem equally plausible: (i) an early acquisition accompanied by divergence of 2A (between IFV and PnPV/EoPV), acquisition of a second 2A in PnPV/EoPV and loss of 2A from the other lineages or, (ii) two independent acquisitions of 2A, one in IFV and another in the PnPV/EoPV lineage.
Our analysis suggests that 2As emerged independently at least six times amongst the RNA viruses analysed. Whilst some 2A sequences are clearly homologous, our data also strongly indicate homoplasy: a common function arising from multiple, independent, evolutionary origins – not surprising given their short length and the location of these sequences in known recombinational hot-spots.
