The X protein of Borna disease virus (BDV) is an essential factor that regulates viral polymerase activity and inhibits apoptosis of persistently infected cells. We observed that a BDV mutant which carries an additional X gene replicated well in cell culture only after acquiring second-site mutations that selectively reduced expression of the endogenous X gene. In rat brains, the virus acquired additional mutations which inactivated the ectopic X gene or altered the sequence of X. These results demonstrate that BDV readily acquires mutations if strong selection pressure is applied. They further indicate that fine-tuning of X expression determines viral fitness.
