DNA analysis of insect iridescent virus 6: evidence for circular permutation and terminal redundancy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
DNA analysis of small insect iridovirus 6 was performed. Combined exonuclease-restriction endonuclease digestions revealed that all resulting fragments were degraded without preference for any one DNA fragment. Upon denaturation and reannealing of native linear Chilo iridescent virus DNA (158 x 10(6) daltons), duplex DNA circles of a smaller size (140 x 10(6) daltons) with protruding tails were formed.

Insect iridescent virus type 6 encodes a polypeptide related to the largest subunit of eukaryotic RNA polymerase II.
Cytoplasmic DNA viruses encode a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase (DdRP) that is essential for transcription of viral genes. The amino acid sequences of known large subunits of DdRPs contain highly conserved regions. Oligonucleotide primers, deduced from two conserved domains [RQP(T/S)LH and NADFDGDE] were used in PCR experiments for the detection of the corresponding gene of the genome of insect i...
متن کاملRestriction endonuclease mapping of unintegrated proviral DNA of Kirsten murine sarcoma virus.
Linear unintegrated Kirsten murine sarcoma virus DNA synthesized after acute infection of NIH/3T3 cells or by detergent-disrupted virions, was studied by restriction enzyme cleavage and agarose gel electrophoresis. Labelled DNA (cDNA) synthesized by reverse transcription of a virion RNA template was used to detect viral DNA sequences by filter hybridization. The sites of cleavage for eleven enz...
متن کاملConstruction of a Recombinant Bacmid DNA to Express Influenza Virus Matrix Protein1 (M1) in Insect Cell Line
Background and Aims: Virus-like particles (VLPs) have been suggested to be a promising recombinant vaccine approach. Several studies have reported that the influenza VLPs produced in insect cells is an effective vaccine candidate. Due to crucial role of matrix M1 protein in assembly and budding of Influenza particles, in all VLPs structures, M1 protein have been considered as a main component. ...
متن کاملIridovirus in the root weevil Diaprepes abbreviatus
Invertebrate iridescent virus 6 (IIV6) was evaluated for mode of transmission and ability to cause infection in the root weevil, Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.). This is the first evidence of IIV6 infection in D. abbreviatus, which caused both patent and sub-lethal covert infections in both larvae and adults. Adults and larvae were successfully infected with IIV6 by puncture, injection and per os. T...
متن کاملMolecular cloning and characterization of avian sarcoma virus circular DNA molecules.
Supercoiled DNA molecules were used for the molecular cloning of full-length avian sarcoma virus (ASV) DNA. Viral DNA produced by the Schmidt-Ruppin A (SR-A) strain of ASV was isolated from acutely infected transformed quail cells. Supercoiled DNA was separated from linear and open circular DNA by acid phenol extraction, opened into a full-length linear form by cleavage with the restriction end...
