Avian Polyomavirus: My Thoughts
The avian polyomavirus is one of the most significant viral pathogens of cage birds. It results in substantial economic losses for aviculturalists and pet store owners each year. The biology of this virus is complex and as a result veterinarians and aviculturalists alike are often very confused about how to best prevent this virus infection and once confronted with it, how to minimize its impac...
متن کاملEarly and late pre-mRNA processing of budgerigar fledgling disease virus 1: identification of viral RNA 5' and 3' ends and internal splice junctions.
Budgerigar fledgling disease virus 1 (BFDV-1) is the first avian polyomavirus to be identified, and it possesses uncommon structural and biological properties. Here we present an analysis of the processed viral RNAs in infected chicken embryo fibroblast cells. Two early and 18 late BFDV-1 mRNAs were defined according to their 5' ends and internal splice patterns. In the early region of the geno...
متن کاملGenetic diversity in twenty variants of the avian polyomavirus.
To determine if different pathotypes of the avian polyomavirus (APV) exist and to compare the genomes of APVs originating from different geographic areas, dates, and species of birds, the partial sequences of 18 APVs were determined. New viral sequences were compared with three published APV sequences. Two of the new viruses had identical sequences. Forty point mutations were found at 31 loci. ...
متن کاملExpression of human neurotropic polyomavirus JCV late gene product agnoprotein in human medulloblastoma.
BACKGROUND The human neurotropic polyomavirus, JCV, contains an open reading frame within the late region of the viral genome that encodes a 71-amino-acid protein, agnoprotein. Because accumulating evidence supports an association between JCV infection and human brain tumors, including medulloblastomas, we assessed the presence of JCV Agno gene sequences and the expression of agnoprotein in a s...
متن کاملComposition and arrangement of genes define the strength of IRES-driven translation in bicistronic mRNAs.
In addition to the cap-dependent mechanism, eukaryotic initiation of translation can occur by a cap-independent mechanism which directs ribosomes to defined start codons enabled by internal ribosome entry site (IRES) elements. IRES elements from poliovirus and encephalomyocarditis virus are often used to construct bi- or oligocistronic expression vectors to co-express various genes from one mRN...
