Identification and characterization of vlf-1, a baculovirus gene involved in very late gene expression.
We have identified a gene required for strong expression of the polyhedrin gene by characterizing a mutant, tsB837, of the baculovirus Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV) which is temperature sensitive (ts) for occluded virus production at the nonpermissive temperature. Marker rescue experiments utilizing an overlapping set of AcMNPV genomic clones revealed that the gene ...
متن کاملGene Expression in Late-Life
Science proceeds from its mistakes, just as well as its successes. We have argued above that it is “perfectly reasonable for natural selection to produce late-life plateaus in life-history characters.” This is premised on the forces of natural selection having fallen to very low values. The reality of latelife mortality plateaus was a revelation for me, especially having been one of the earlies...
متن کاملFunctional dissection of the baculovirus late expression factor-8 gene: sequence requirements for late gene promoter activation.
The late expression factor-8 gene (lef-8) of Autographa californica M nucleopolyhedrovirus encodes the largest subunit of the virally encoded DNA-directed RNA polymerase specific for the transcription of late and very late viral genes. The sequence of lef-8 predicts a C-terminal motif of 13 amino acids that is conserved in other polymerases. Detailed mutagenesis throughout lef-8 was performed, ...
متن کاملEighteen baculovirus genes, including lef-11, p35, 39K, and p47, support late gene expression.
We report the identification of four additional genes of the Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus involved in expression from a late baculovirus promoter in transient expression assays. Three of these genes, p35, 39K, and p47, have been previously described. The role of the p35 gene product in late gene expression may be related to its ability to block apoptosis, since two other ba...
متن کاملTranscriptional activity of baculovirus very late factor 1.
The product of the vlf-1 (very late factor 1) gene is required for expression of very late genes during the final phase of infection. To determine whether VLF-1 functions as a transcriptional activator, VLF-1 was overexpressed and purified by affinity and cation exchange chromatography. The addition of purified protein to transcription assays containing baculovirus RNA polymerase stimulated tra...
