We conducted a survey of the phytosanitary status Prunus germplasm collection in Nikita Botanical Gardens, Yalta, Russia. The virome plants displaying virus-like symptoms was studied using Illumina MiSeq high-throughput sequencing. Reads related to prunus necrotic ringspot virus (PNRSV), prune dwarf (PDV), and ourmia-like 1 (OuLV1) were generated number samples. Near complete genomes two diverg...

BACKGROUND. Deciphering the function of many genes previously classified as uncharacterized open reading frame (ORF) would complete our understanding a cell’s and its pathophysiology.

A series of mutations in open reading frames (ORFs) E6 and E7 of bovine papillomavirus type 1 (BPV1) was constructed to analyze the roles of these ORFs in transformation of mouse C127 cells. The mutations were designed to prevent synthesis of specific proteins encoded by these genes. None of the mutations caused a decrease in the focus-forming activity of the full-length viral genome or in the ...

We have determined the complete genomic sequence of human astrovirus serotype 1 isolated in Newcastle upon Tyne. The genome is 6813 nucleotides long and contains three sequential open reading frames (ORFs). The two closest to the 5' end are linked by a ribosomal frameshifting motif and contain sequence motifs indicative of non-structural virus proteins: serine protease and RNA-dependent RNA pol...

The gene for glycine betaine transmethylase (gbt) was identified in Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain Fildes III by biochemical, physiological, and molecular approaches. Based on sequence analysis, the knockout gene corresponded to an open reading frame (ORF) named PA3082 in the genome of P. aeruginosa PAO1. The translated product of this ORF displayed similarity to transferases of different microo...

We have reported previously that a recombinant DNA vaccine consisting of four Ehrlichia ruminantium (Welgevonden) open reading frames (ORFs) known as the 1H12 cocktail provided protection against a virulent E. ruminantium (Welgevonden) needle challenge in sheep. In this study, we have investigated the vaccine effectiveness of two other cocktails of E. ruminantium (Welgevonden) ORFs, as well as ...

Results from in vivo and from serum-free primary cultures of Ehrlich cells suggest that the expression of mitogen-regulated protein/proliferin (MRP/PLF) mRNAs is not essential for proliferation of this murine tumor. Two sizes for MRP/PRL-related open reading frames (ORFs) have been detected by reverse transcription/PCR amplification. They are almost identical to that reported for PLF-1; but 20%...

The aim of the present study was todeterminecharacteristics of Rheb gene and protein in Raini Cashmere goat. Comparative analyses of the nucleotide sequences were performed. Open reading frames (ORFs), theoretical molecular weights of deduced polypeptides, the protein isoelectric point, protein characteristics and three-dimensional structures was predicted using online standard softwares. The f...

The simian hemorrhagic fever virus (SHFV) genome differs from those of other members of the family Arterivirus in encoding two adjacent sets of four minor structural protein open reading frames (ORFs). A stable, full-length, infectious SHFV-LVR cDNA clone was constructed. Virus produced from this clone had replication characteristics similar to those of the parental virus. A subgenomic mRNA was...

Functional protein of MB78 bacteriophage having apparent molecular weight of 22 kDa is expressed from 1.7 kb HindIII G fragment. The nucleotide sequence of this fragment showed two open reading frames of 222 and 196 codons in tail-to-tail orientation separated by a 62-nucleotide intercistronic region. The ORF of 22 kDa protein is present in opposite orientation, i.e. in the complementary strand...
