چکیده
Analysis of aphthovirus A12, strain 119ab, grown in the presence of inorganic 32P revealed that two of the major viral polypeptides, VP4 and trypsin-sensitive protein VP3, were highly phosphorylated. The other major polypeptides, VP1 and VP2, were also phosphorylated but to a much lesser extent. Polypeptides VP0 and P56, of which there are approximately one of two copies per aphthovirion, were also labeled with 32P. Phosphoserine and phosphothreonine appeared to be the amino acids labeled with 32P.

Guanidine-resistant mutants of aphthovirus induce the synthesis of an altered nonstructural polypeptide, P34.
Extracts of cells infected with guanidine-resistant mutants of aphthovirus were examined for differences in virus-induced polypeptides by using electrofocusing. Four of 1 independent spontaneous mutants induced the synthesis of an altered nonstructural polypeptide, P34. The precursor of P34, P52, and a previously unmapped polypeptide, P20c, also carried these charge-change mutations. No mutatio...
متن کاملConserved structural motifs located in distal loops of aphthovirus internal ribosome entry site domain 3 are required for internal initiation of translation.
A comparison of picornavirus internal ribosome entry site (IRES) secondary structures revealed the existence of conserved motifs located on loops. We have carried out a mutational analysis to test their requirement for IRES-driven translation. The GUAA sequence, located in the aphthovirus 3A loop, did not tolerate substitutions that disrupt the GNRA motif. Interestingly, this motif was found at...
متن کاملStructural proteins of two salmonid rhabdoviruses.
Purified infectious hematopoietic necrosis (IHN) virus and the virus of haemorrhagic septicaemia (VHS) (Egtved virus) each contain five structural proteins which were designated L, G, N, M-1, and M-2. The IHN viral polypeptides have molecular weights estimated to be 157,000, 72,000, 40,000, 25,000 and 20,000, respectively, whereas those of VHS viral polypeptides are estimated to be 157,000 74,0...
متن کاملEffect of cleavage of the p220 subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF-4F on protein synthesis in vitro.
0.6 30 % 96 % 0.1 3 % 65 % 0.6 28% 67 % The Foot and Mouth Disease Virus (an aphthovirus within the picomavirus family), encodes a protease called L which is believed to cause the proteolysis of the p220 subunit of the initiation factor eIF-4F[ 11. The role of p220 in the initiation of translation still remains obscure but previous studies on this polypeptide showed that it is necessary for eff...

Total protein and DNA extracted from histologically diagnosed normal nonmalignant and esophageal tumor tissues were used for analysis of polypeptides pattern by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and DNA transforming activity in NIH 3T3 cell transfection assay, respectively. In comparison to normal tissues, eight polypeptides underwent down-regulation or disappeared, while seven polypeptid...
