Chicken anemia virus VP2 is a novel dual specificity protein phosphatase.
The function of viral protein 2 (VP2) of the immunosuppressive circovirus chicken anemia virus (CAV) has not yet been established. We show that the CAV VP2 amino acid sequence has some similarity to a number of eukaryotic, receptor, protein-tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) alpha proteins as well as to a cluster of human TT viruses within the Sanban group. To investigate if CAV VP2 functions as a P...
متن کاملCloning and sequence analysis of VP1, VP2 and VP3 genes of Indian chicken anemia virus
Chicken anemia virus was detected by PCR in tissue samples collected from poultry flocks in Gujarat,India. The VP1, VP2 and VP3 gene sequences of CAV from Anand, Gujarat were obtained after cloning thePCR products in pDrive cloning vector. Nucleotide sequence alignment with other CAV sequencesdemonstrated overall identity of 95-98.8%, 98.8-99.8% and 98.8-100% for VP1, VP2 and VP3 regions,respec...
متن کاملAttenuation of chicken anemia virus by site-directed mutagenesis of VP2.
Chicken anemia virus (CAV) is a significant immunosuppressive pathogen of chickens, but relatively little is known about the effect of specific mutations on its virulence. In order to study the virulence of CAV, an infection model was developed in embryos. Significant growth depression, measured as a reduction in mean body weight, was found for wild-type CAV infection. Infection with wild-type ...
متن کاملChicken anemia virus.
Chicken anemia virus is commonly found in commercially produced chickens and has a worldwide distribution. It is difficult to inactivate thermally or with common disinfectants, which limits the utility of normal sanitization practices. The virus is important because of the disease it produces following transovarian transmission and because of its potential for inducing immunosuppression alone o...
متن کاملMolecular cloning and characterization of a novel dual-specificity protein phosphatase possibly involved in spermatogenesis.
Dual-specificity protein phosphatases (DSPs) play roles in the regulation of mitogenic signal transduction for extracellular stimulation and the cell cycle. In the present study, we identified a novel DSP, termed TMDP (testis- and skeletal-muscle-specific DSP). Nucleotide sequence analysis of TMDP cDNA indicated that the open reading frame of 597 bp encodes a protein of 198 amino acid residues ...
