A viral histone h4 joins to eukaryotic nucleosomes and alters host gene expression.
A viral histone H4 (CpBV-H4) is encoded in a polydnavirus, Cotesia plutellae bracovirus. Its predicted amino acid sequence is highly homologous to that of host insect histone H4 except for an extended N-terminal tail containing 38 amino acids with nine lysine residues. Its expression induces an immunosuppression of target insects by suppressing immune-associated genes, presumably through an epi...
متن کاملCloning and Expression of VP2 Gene of Infectious Bursal Disease Virus in Eukaryotic Cells
Infectious bursal disease (IBD) is an economically important viral disease of chickens with worldwide distribution which suppresses the immune system of young chickens. VP2 is the major host-protective protein of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV). The encoding region of VP2 protein was PCR amplified from a plasmid containing a cDNA fragment of large genomic segment of IBDV, strain D78. Thi...
متن کاملCharacterization of joining sites of a viral histone H4 on host insect chromosomes
A viral histone H4 (CpBV-H4) is encoded in a polydnavirus, Cotesia plutellae bracovirus (CpBV). It plays a crucial role in parasitism of an endoparasitoid wasp, C. plutellae, against diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella, by altering host gene expression in an epigenetic mode by its N-terminal tail after joining host nucleosomes. Comparative transcriptomic analysis between parasitized and nonpa...
متن کاملCloning and Expression of Rabies Virus Glycoprotein Gene into Eukaryotic System
Background and Aims: The aim of this study was cloning and expression of rabies virus glycoprotein by a eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3.1(+) in BSR cell line. This construct might be used for a potential DNA vaccine. Materials and Methods: Glycoprotein gene was synthesized and cloned into pBluescript vector and then sub cloned into eukaryotic expression vector (pcDNA3.1(+)). After verifica...
متن کاملCloning and Expression of Protease 2A from Coxsakievirus B3
Protease 2A (2Apro) of coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) plays a major role in viral replication. In case of infection, viral proteins are being synthesized from viral mRNA using host biosynthesis machinery. 2Apro of virus, after being synthesized, exhibits two critical functions, cleavage of viral proteins and breaking eukaryotic initiation factor 4G. The enzyme plays an essential role in viral replic...
