The major immediate-early (IE) RNA of bovine herpesvirus 4 (BHV-4) has been identified and characterized by analyzing cytoplasmic polyadenylated RNA isolated from Madin-Darby bovine kidney cells infected with BHV-4(DN-599) in the presence of cycloheximide. Hybridization of cDNA to Southern blots of viral DNA, Northern (RNA) blot analysis, and S1 nuclease analyses showed that the major BHV-4 IE RNA is a spliced, 1.7-kb RNA, which is transcribed from right to left on the restriction map of the BHV-4 genome from DNA contained in the 8.3-kb HindIII fragment E. The major IE RNA contains three small exons at its 5' end, spliced to a 1.3-kb 3' exon. This RNA is present in much-reduced amounts when cells are infected in the absence of cycloheximide. However, late in infection, the major IE RNA gene region encodes abundant RNAs which differ in structure from the major IE RNA. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the gene encoding the major IE RNA revealed an open reading frame encoding 284 amino acids. A homology search of amino acid sequence data bases showed that a 141-amino-acid region near the amino terminus of the predicted amino acid sequence is similar to sequences near the amino terminus of herpes simplex virus type 1 IE110. This region of homology includes CXXC pairs, which could be involved in zinc finger structures. The region encoding this putative zinc finger domain is also found in RNAs transcribed from this IE region late in infection, but it is spliced to different sequences than those used in IE RNA. Thus, the major IE region of the BHV-4 genome could encode a family of proteins sharing a zinc finger domain.  相似文献

The nature of RNA coded by the only light-strand (L-strand) open-reading frame unidentified reading frame 6 (URF6) was studied by using a variety of single- and double-strand DNA subclones derived from the 3.6-kilobase (kb) cytochrome b (cyt b)-URF5 coding region of the mouse mitochondrial genome. Northern blot experiments using single-strand-specific M13 clones indicate that both the heavy (H) and L strands of this genomic region are symmetrically transcribed and processed into poly(adenylic acid) [poly(A)] RNAs of comparable size. The 1.2- and 2.4-kb RNAs coded by the H strand, putative mRNAs for cyt b and URF5 reading frames, respectively, are derived from a common precursor of 3.6-kb RNA. The L-strand-coded 1.15-kb RNA, on the other hand, is derived from a short-lived precursor of 3.6-kb RNA by a multiple-step processing involving a 2.4-kb intermediate RNA. The S1 nuclease protection experiments using both the 3'- or 5'-end-labeled DNA probes and also affinity-purified 32P-labeled RNA probes indicate that the 1.15-kb RNA maps between the start of the URF6 reading frame (3' end) and a region 590-600 nucleotides to the 5' end of this reading frame. The 1.15-kb RNA thus contains the entire URF6 coding sequence and an about 590-nucleotide-long 3' untranslated region. The molar abundance of the three mRNAs in the steady-state mitochondrial RNA varies markedly. The 1.15-kb URF6 mRNA is only one-tenth the level of 1.2-kb cyt b mRNA, although it is nearly as abundant as the 2.4-kb URF5 mRNA.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献
