Abstract
The RNA genomes of cytopathogenic bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) isolates contain insertions highly homologous to cellular sequences. For two of them the insert was identified as ubiquitin coding sequence. The genome of BVDV Osloss contains exactly one ubiquitin gene monomer. In the case of BVDV CP1 the cellular insertion comprises one complete ubiquitin gene and part of a second monomer. The host cell-derived element in the CP1 genome is embedded in a large duplication of about 2.4 kb of viral sequences. Cellular insertion and duplication were not found in the genome of NCP1, the noncytopathogenic counterpart of CP1. These results strongly suggest that recombination between viral and cellular RNA is responsible for development of the cytopathogenic viruses, which is linked to pathogenesis of a lethal disease in cattle.
