A DNA polymerase activity is associated with Cauliflower Mosaic Virus.

چکیده
A DNA polymerase activity is found within the Cauliflower Mosaic Virus (CaMV) particle. Analysis of the reaction product reveals that the linear form of the virion DNA is preferentially labelled. The molecular weight of the DNA polymerase as determined on an "activity gel" is 76 kDa.

Dissection of cauliflower mosaic virus transactivator/viroplasmin reveals distinct essential functions in basic virus replication.
Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) transactivator/viroplasmin (Tav) is an essential multifunctional viral protein. Dissection of Tav by deletion mutagenesis revealed that the central region is essential for CaMV replication in single cells but that the N- and C-terminal parts are not. Strains with mutations in the central region were defective in the translational transactivator function and could...
متن کاملReplication of cauliflower mosaic virus DNA in leaves and suspension culture protoplasts of cotton.
Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) replicated in protoplasts and in inoculated leaves of the non-host, cotton (Gossypium hirsutum, L.). Protoplasts prepared from suspension-cultured cotton cells were infected by incubation with liposome-encapsulated CaMV virions. During a 1-week culture period the amount of CaMV nucleic acid as detected by nucleic acid hybridization in the protoplasts increased si...
متن کاملDetection of a subgenomic mRNA for gene V, the putative reverse transcriptase gene of cauliflower mosaic virus.
Polypeptides synthesized in vitro in rabbit reticulocyte lysates, directed by poly(A)+ RNA isolated from turnip leaves infected with cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV), were analysed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Following translation of virus-specific RNA purified by hybrid-selection using CaMV DNA immobilized on DBM papers, the polypeptides observed included the viral gene VI inclusion ...
متن کاملIsolation of a fraction from cauliflower mosaic virus-infected protoplasts which is active in the synthesis of (+) and (-) strand viral DNA and reverse transcription of primed RNA templates.
Sub-cellular fractions, isolated from cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV)-infected turnip protoplasts, are capable of synthesising CaMV DNA in vitro on an endogenous template and of reverse transcribing oligo dT-primed cowpea mosaic virus RNA. The activity was not detected in mock-inoculated protoplasts. In vitro-labelled DNA hybridized to single-stranded M13 clones complementary to the putative or...
متن کاملThe double-stranded DNA of cauliflower mosaic virus.
Examination of the physical structure of cauliflower mosaic virus DNA by electron microscopy and ultracentrifugal analysis showed that the DNA could be isolated mainly as a circular molecule of mol. wt. 4"7 x Io 6. Nearest-neighbour frequency analysis showed that the DNA has a chemical structure which exhibits close similarities to that of the host cauliflower DNA. The relationships of this pla...
