Methylation pattern of fish lymphocystis disease virus DNA.

چکیده
The content and distribution of 5-methylcytosine in DNA from fish lymphocystis disease virus was analyzed by high-pressure liquid chromatography, nearest-neighbor analysis, and with restriction endonucleases. We found that 22% of all C residues were methylated, including methylation of the following dinucleotide sequences: CpG to 75%, CpC to ca. 1%, and CpA to 2 to 5%. Comparison of relative digestion of viral DNA with MspI and HpaII indicated that CCGG sequences were almost completely methylated at the inner C. The degree of methylation of GCGC was much lower. The methylation pattern of fish lymphocystis disease virus DNA differed from that of the host cell DNA.

Identification and characterization of a novel lymphocystis disease virus isolate from cultured grouper in China.
Grouper Epinephelus spp. is one of the most important mariculture fish species in China and South-East Asian countries. The emerging viral diseases, evoked by iridovirus which belongs to genus Megalocytivirus and Ranavirus, have been well characterized in recent years. To date, few data on lymphocystis disease in grouper which caused by lymphocystis disease virus (LCDV) were described. Here, a ...
متن کاملIdentification of the gene encoding the major capsid protein of fish lymphocystis disease virus.
The gene encoding the major capsid protein (MCP) of fish lymphocystis disease virus (flounder isolate; FLCDV-f) has been identified by PCR using oligonucleotide primers corresponding to different regions of the MCP of Tipula iridescent virus (TIV), iridescent virus 22 (IV22) and Chilo iridescent virus (CIV). DNA fragments of 0.4 kbp, 0.5 kbp and 0.27 kbp in size were amplified using oligonucleo...
متن کاملMarker-Assisted Breeding for Viral Disease Resistance in Japanese Flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus)
Extended Abstract DNA marker technologies can be used for genetic improvement through selection of favorable traits such as disease resistance. These traits are generally modeled as being controlled by many genes of small additive effects, known as quantitative trait loci (QTL). Construction of a genetic linkage map based on DNA markers at a large number of sites in the fish genome is necessary...
متن کاملDetection of Antibody against Lymphocystis Disease Virus in Japanese Flounder by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay
Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was applied to detect the antibody of Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) against lymphocystis disease virus (LCDV). Purified Japanese flounder LCDV was used as a capture antigen of ELISA. Monitoring the immune response of Japanese flounder to LCDV was done using the sera obtained from apparently healthy, LCD-diseased and LCD-recovered fish. ELIS...

Two viruses were isolated from cultured sole, Solea senegalensis, and wild blackspot sea bream, Pagellus bogaraveo, and preliminarily characterized as lymphocystis disease viruses (LCDVs). Viral isolates were characterized by morphological, biochemical and biophysical properties. In addition, the susceptibility of four fish cell lines was also tested. LCDV isolates developed cytopathic effects ...
