JC virus (JCV) is a DNA virus causing progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy
(PML) in immunodeficient patients. In the present study, 22 genetic quasispecies
with more than 1.5% variant frequency were detected in JCV genomes from six
clinical samples of PML by next-generation sequencing. A mutation from A to C at
nucleotide (nt) 3495 in JCV Mad1 resulting in a V-to-G amino acid substitution at
amino acid (aa) position 392 of the large T antigen (TAg) was identified in all
six cases of PML at 3% to 19% variant frequencies. Transfection of JCV Mad1 DNA
possessing the V392G substitution in TAg into IMR-32 and human embryonic kidney
293 (HEK293) cells resulted in dramatically decreased production of JCV-encoded
proteins. The virus DNA copy number was also reduced in supernatants of the
mutant virus-transfected cells. Transfection of the IMR-32 and HEK293 cells with
a virus genome containing a revertant mutation recovered viral production and
protein expression. Cotransfection with equal amounts of wild-type genome and
mutated JCV genome did not reduce the expression of viral proteins or viral
replication, suggesting that the mutation did not have any dominant-negative
function. Finally, immunohistochemistry demonstrated that TAg was expressed in
all six pathological samples in which the quasispecies were detected. In
conclusion, the V392G amino acid substitution in TAg identified frequently in PML
lesions has a function in suppressing JCV replication, but the frequency of the
mutation was restricted and its role in PML lesions was limited. IMPORTANCE: DNA
viruses generally have lower mutation frequency than RNA viruses, and the
detection of quasispecies in JCV has rarely been reported. In the present study,
a next-generation sequencer identified a JCV quasispecies with an amino acid
substitution in the T antigen in patients with PML. In vitro studies showed that
the mutation strongly repressed the expression of JC viral proteins and reduced
the viral replication. However, because the frequency of the mutation was low in
each case, the total expression of virus proteins was sustained in vivo. Thus, JC
virus replicates in PML lesions in the presence of a mutant virus which is able
to repress virus replication.
