چکیده

The open reading frame 2 (ha2) of the Helicoverpa armigera single nucleocapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus (HaSNPV), a conserved gene in most baculoviruses from lepidopteran insects such as p78/83 of the Autographa californica MNPV, was characterized. It is 1,242 bp long and potentially encodes a 45.9 kDa. Ha2 is conserved among baculoviruses from lepidopteran insects. Ha2 transcripts were detected from 16 to 96 h post infection (hpi) of HzAM1 cells. Rabbit polyclonal antiserum against a GST-HA2 fusion protein reacted with three protein of 50, 46 and 35 kDa at 24-72 hpi of HzAM1 cells. Anti OpMNPV ORF2 (homologue of HA2) antibody reacted only with the 46 and 35 kDa proteins in HaSNPV-infected cells. These results demonstrate that Ha2 is modified at the mRNA or protein levels. Western blot analysis showed that only the 50 kDa product of HA2 is a structural component of proteins of both the budded virus (BV) and occlusion-derived virus (ODV) phenotypes. HA2-EGFP fusion protein showed that HA2 is localized primarily in the nucleus of HzAM1 infected cells. The HA2 was found to co-localize with actin by labelling of actin with Rhordamine-Phalloidin. In summary, the data indicated that HA2 is a structural protein and interacts with host cell actin.

Characterization of ORF39 from Helicoverpa armigera single-nucleocapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus, the gene containing RNA recognition motif.

In the genome of Helicoverpa armigera single-nucleocapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus, open reading frame 39 (Ha39) is the only gene predicted to encode an RNA recognition protein. Computer analysis revealed that Ha39 homologues were found in 15 NPVs, but not in GVs. Its transcripts were detected from 3 through 72 hours post infection (h p.i.) using RT-PCR and Northern blot analysis. The protein was d...

Selection of a nucleopolyhedrovirus isolate from Helicoverpa armigera as the basis for a biological insecticide.

BACKGROUND The cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera, is an insect that causes damage in a wide range of crops in Spain. Seven isolates of H. armigera single nucleopolyhedrovirus (HearSNPV) from the Iberian Peninsula were subjected to molecular and biological characterization and compared with a Chinese genotype (HearSNPV-G4). RESULTS The estimated sizes of the Iberian genomes varied between ...

Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry were used to analyze the structural proteins of the occlusion-derived virus (ODV) of Helicoverpa armigera single nucleocapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus (HearNPV), a group II NPV. Twenty-three structural proteins of HearNPV ODV were identified, 21 of which have been reported previously as structural proteins or ODV-associ...

A complete cDNA encoding the NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (haCPR) and its genomic sequence from the cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera were cloned and sequenced. The open reading frame of haCPR codes for a protein of 687 amino acid residues with a calculated molecular mass of 77.4kDa. The haCPR gene spans over 11 kb and its coding region is interrupted by 11 introns. haCPR is ubiquitously ...
