Tetraparvovirus are a genus of viruses in the family Parvoviridae.[1][2] There are six recognized species: Chiropteran tetraparvovirus 1, Primate tetraparvovirus 1, Ungulate tetraparvovirus 1, Ungulate tetraparvovirus 2, Ungulate tetraparvovirus 3, and Ungulate tetraparvovirus 4.[3]
History
[edit]The first member of this genus was identified in 2001 in pig serum and designated Porcine parvovirus 2.[4] The first human tetraparvovirus, PARV4, was described in 2005.[5] These new viruses were recognised as being related to but distinct from the known parvoviruses. They were isolated from a group of patients who had engaged in high risk behavior. Other members of this group were isolated from animal sources in Hong Kong.[6] These isolates were originally referred to as Hokoviruses. They have been isolated from wild boars in Germany[7] and chimpanzees and baboons.[8] They have also been isolated from sheep[9] and pigs.[10] Finally, they have been also identified in bats.[11]
Description
[edit]Tetraparvoviruses are small, non enveloped animal viruses with a single-stranded DNA genome between 4 and 6 kb in length.[2] There are 2 open reading frames (ORF) present in the genome. ORF1 encodes the non-structural protein (NS1) and ORF2 encodes the viral capsid proteins (VP1/VP2). Inverted terminal repeats are present at the 5′ and 3′ ends of the genome. Within this family there is a third ORF lying within VP1.
The NS1 protein possesses both helicase and ATPase domains. It has ~652 amino acids residues and a molecular weight of 70–75 kilodaltons (kDa). The VP1 protein contains 900–950 amino acid residues and is ~100 kDa in molecular weight. VP1 has a conserved phospholipase A2 domain which is used by the virion to escape from the endosome.
The third ORF encodes a small protein with a single transmembrane helix spanning 20 amino acid residues in the centre. Its molecular weight is ~10 kDa. The function of this protein is not known.
Virology
[edit]These viruses have been isolated from blood, liver, spleen, lymph node and bone marrow.
Clinical
[edit]These viruses have not been associated with disease in any of their known hosts to date.
