Location and nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding the viral enhancing factor of the Trichoplusia ni granulosis virus.

چکیده
The gene encoding the viral enhancing factor (VEF) of Trichoplusia ni granulosis virus has been cloned from a lambda gt11 expression library, and the complete nucleotide sequence determined. The VEF gene encodes a protein with a predicted Mr of 104K which does not share homology with any previously reported proteins. A possible promoter is located four nucleotides upstream of the initiation codon and represents a consensus baculovirus late promoter (ATAAG). This has been confirmed by the identification of VEF mRNA in Northern blots of infected larvae 6 days but not 3 days post-infection. Using an anti-VEF-TrpE polyclonal antiserum in Western blots of dissolved viral occlusion bodies, related proteins have been identified in both Pseudaletia unipuncta granulosis virus Hawaiian strain (PuGV-H) and Heliothis armigera GV (HaGV), but not in Erinnyis ello GV (EeGV), T. ni singly enveloped nuclear polyhedrosis virus (TnSNPV) or Autographa californica multiply enveloped NPV (AcMNPV). Similar results were obtained with Southern blots of genomic digests. DNA fragments homologous to an internal portion of the VEF gene were found in PuGV-H and HaGV but not in EeGV, TnSNPV or AcMNPV.

Generation of Helper Plasmids Encoding Mutant Adeno-associated Virus Type 2 Capsid Proteins with Increased Resistance against Proteasomal Degradation
Objective(s): Adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV2) vectors are widely used for both experimental and clinical gene therapy. A recent research has shown that the performance of these vectors can be greatly improved by substitution of specific surface-exposed tyrosine residues with phenylalanines. In this study, a fast and simple method is presented to generate AAV2 vector helper plasmids encod...

A Lymantria dispar nuclear polyhedrosis virus (LdMNPV) gene has been identified that encodes a homolog to the granulovirus (GV) enhancin proteins that are capable of enhancing the infection of other baculoviruses. Enhancin genes have been identified and sequenced for three species of GVs but have not been found in any other nuclear polyhedrosis virus to date. The LdMNPV enhancin gene is located...

Viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) is an enveloped non-segmented, single-stranded, negative-sense RNA virus that belongs to the Novirhabdovirus genus of the family Rhabdoviridae. This virus causes economically significant diseases in farmed rainbow trout, in Turkey, which is often associated with the transmission of pathogens from European resources. In this study, moribund rainbow trou...
