Field outbreak strains of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) infect host cells through certain Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) dependent integrin family of cellular receptors. In contrast, FMDV adapted in non-host cell cultures are reported to acquire the ability to infect cells via heparin sulphate (HS) or other unidentified cell surface molecules. It has been reported that during the serial passage of FMDV serotype A in BHK-21 cell culture, VP2 E131K (E2131K) substitution was fixed within the heparin sulphate binding site. The fixation of positively charged residue at position VP2 131 of serotype A is considered to associate with the ability to utilise alternative receptor. In this study, an infectious full-length cDNA clone for Indian FMDV vaccine strain A IND 40/2000 was constructed. Through site-directed mutagenesis on the cDNA clone, recombinant virus containing positive charged amino acid residue at position VP2 131 was rescued. The recombinant mutated virus was shown to have specific and strong affinity for HS and demonstrated an enhanced infectivity in BHK-21 cell line. The introduction of lysine residue at VP2 131 position that allows cell culture adaptation of FMDV serotype A could be exploited for the generation of vaccine seed stocks with improved growth properties in BHK-21 cell line.
