The ha72 core gene of baculovirus is essential for budded virus production and occlusion-derived virus embedding, and amino acid K22 plays an important role in its function.

چکیده
ha72 of Helicoverpa armigera nucleopolyhedrovirus (a homologue of ac78) was identified as a conserved late baculovirus gene and characterized. HA72 localizes in the intranuclear ring zone. By generating mutants, we showed that HA72 is essential for budded virus (BD) production and occlusion-derived virus (ODV) embedding. HA72 also interacted with P33, a baculoviral sulfhydryl oxidase. A point mutation of amino acid 22 from lysine to glutamic acid curtailed BV production and precluded ODV occlusion as well as interaction with P33.

Construction of Recombinant Bacmid DNA Encoding Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV) Fusion Protein Gene
Background and Aims: Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is one of the major pathogen in poultry. Vaccination is intended to control the disease as an effective solution nevertheless this virus is a growing threat to the poultry industry. F gene open reading frame (ORF) from NDV is 1650 bp, encoding a protein of 553 amino acids that can induce protective immunity alone. The F glycoprotein on the surf...
متن کاملAutographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus Ac92 (ORF92, P33) is required for budded virus production and multiply enveloped occlusion-derived virus formation.
The Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus orf92 (p33), ac92, is one of 31 genes carried in all sequenced baculovirus genomes, thus suggesting an essential function. Ac92 has homology to the family of flavin adenine dinucleotide-linked sulfhydryl oxidases and is related to the ERV/ALR family of sulfhydryl oxidases. The role of ac92 during virus replication is unknown. Ac92 was ass...

Background: Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is highly prevalent and major cause of genital herpes in humans. The life-long nature of infection and the increasing prevalence of genital herpes imply that vaccination is the best strategy for controlling the spread of infection and limiting HSV disease. HSV glycoprotein D (gD) is one of the most important viral immunogen which has an essential ...
متن کاملBombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus ORF56 encodes an occlusion-derived virus protein and is not essential for budded virus production.
Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus ORF56 (Bm56) is a baculovirus core gene that is highly conserved in all baculoviruses that have had their genomes sequenced to date. Its transcripts in BmNPV-infected cells could be detected from 12 h post-infection (p.i.) and the encoded protein could be detected at 16 h p.i. by using a polyclonal antibody against glutathione S-transferase-Bm56 fusion protein. ...

Influenza A viruses possesses two virion surface glycoproteins including haemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA). The NA plays an important role in viral replication and promotes virus release from infected cells and facilitates virus spread throughout the body. To find out any genomic changes that might be occurred on NA gene of avian influenza circulating viruses, we have genetically analy...
