Construction and characterization of a synthesized herpes simplex virus H129-Syn-G2

Herpes simplex virus type 1(HSV-1)causes lifelong infections worldwide,and currently there is no efficient cure or vaccine.HSV-1-derived tools,such as neuronal circuit tracers and oncolytic viruses,have been used exten-sively;however,further genetic engineering of HSV-1 is hindered by its complex genome structure.In the present study,we designed and constructed a synthetic platform for HSV-1 based on H129-G4.The complete genome was constructed from 10 fragments through 3 rounds of synthesis using transformation-associated recombination(TAR)in yeast,and was named H129-Syn-G2.The H129-Syn-G2 genome contained two copies of the gfp gene and was transfected into cells to rescue the virus.According to growth curve assay and electron microscopy results,the synthetic viruses exhibited more optimized growth properties and similar morphogenesis compared to the parental virus.This synthetic platform will facilitate further manipulation of the HSV-1 genome for the devel-opment of neuronal circuit tracers,oncolytic viruses,and vaccines.
