Roles of LEF-4 and PTP/BVP RNA triphosphatases in processing of baculovirus late mRNAs.
The baculovirus Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus encodes two proteins with RNA triphosphatase activity. Late expression factor LEF-4, which is an essential gene, is a component of the RNA polymerase and also encodes the RNA capping enzyme guanylyltransferase. PTP/BVP is also an RNA triphosphatase, but is not essential for viral replication, possibly because its activity is redundant ...
متن کاملA protein tyrosine phosphatase-like protein from baculovirus has RNA 5'-triphosphatase and diphosphatase activities.
The superfamily of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) includes at least one enzyme with an RNA substrate. We recently showed that the RNA triphosphatase domain of the Caenorhabditis elegans mRNA capping enzyme is related to the PTP enzyme family by sequence similarity and mechanism. The PTP most similar in sequence to the capping enzyme triphosphatase is BVP, a dual-specificity PTP encoded by...
متن کاملRNA 5'-triphosphatase, nucleoside triphosphatase, and guanylyltransferase activities of baculovirus LEF-4 protein.
Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus late and very late mRNAs are transcribed by an RNA polymerase consisting of four virus-encoded polypeptides: LEF-8, LEF-9, LEF-4, and p47. The 464-amino-acid LEF-4 subunit contains the signature motifs of GTP:RNA guanylyltransferases (capping enzymes). Here, we show that the purified recombinant LEF-4 protein catalyzes two reactions involved in ...
متن کاملThe LEF-4 subunit of baculovirus RNA polymerase has RNA 5'-triphosphatase and ATPase activities.
The baculovirus Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus encodes a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase that is required for transcription of viral late genes. This polymerase is composed of four equimolar subunits, LEF-8, LEF-4, LEF-9, and p47. The LEF-4 subunit has guanylyltransferase activity, suggesting that baculoviruses may encode a full complement of capping enzymes. Here we show that L...
متن کاملChlorella virus RNA triphosphatase. Mutational analysis and mechanism of inhibition by tripolyphosphate.
Chlorella virus RNA triphosphatase (cvRtp1) is the smallest member of a family of metal-dependent phosphohydrolases that includes the RNA triphosphatases of fungi, protozoa, poxviruses, and baculoviruses. The primary structure of cvRtp1 is more similar to that of the yeast RNA triphosphatase Cet1 than it is to the RNA triphosphatases of other DNA viruses. To evaluate the higher order structural...
