Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is a prototype RNA virus that has been instrumental in advancing our understanding of viral molecular biology and has applications in vaccine development, cancer therapy, antiviral screening, and more. Current VSV genome plasmids for purchase or contract virus services provide limited options for modification, restricted to predefined cloning sites and insert locations. Improved methods and tools to engineer VSV will unlock further insights into long-standing virology questions and new opportunities for innovative therapies. Here, we report the design and construction of a full-length VSV genome. The 11,161 base pair synthetic VSV (synVSV) was assembled from four modularized DNA fragments. Following rescue and titration, phenotypic analysis showed no significant differences between natural and synthetic viruses. To demonstrate the utility of a synthetic virology platform, we then engineered VSV with a foreign glycoprotein, a common use case for studying viral entry and developing anti-virals. To show the freedom of design afforded by this platform, we then modified the genome of VSV by rearranging the gene order, switching the positions of VSV-P and VSV-M genes. This work represents a significant technical advance, providing a flexible, cost-efficient platform for the rapid construction of VSV genomes, facilitating the development of innovative therapies. |
