The genes that are located within the odvp-6e/odv-e56 region of the Choristoneura fumiferana granulovirus (ChfuGV) were identified by sequencing the 11 kb BamHI restriction fragment on the ChfuGV genome. The global GC content that was calculated from the data obtained from this genomic region was 34.96%. The open-reading frames (ORFs), located within the odvp-6e/odv-e56 region, are presented and compared to the equivalent ORFs that are located at the same region in other GVs. This region is composed of 14 ORFs, including three ORFs that are unique to ChfuGV with no obvious homologues in other baculoviruses as well as eleven ORFs with homologues to granuloviral ORFs, such as granulin, CfORF2, pk-1, ie-1, odv-e18, p49, and odvp-6e/odv-e56. In this study, the conceptual products of seven major conserved ORFs (granulin, CfORF2, IE-1, ODV-E18, p49 and ODVP-6E/ODV-E56) were used in order to construct phylogenetic trees. Our results show that granuloviruses can be grouped in 2 distinct groups as follows: Group I; Choristoneura fumiferana granulovirus (ChfuGV), Cydia pomonella granulovirus (CpGV), Phthorimaea operculella granulovirus (PhopGV), and Adoxophyes orana granulovirus (AoGV). Group II; Xestia c-nigrum granulovirus (XcGV), Plutella xylostella granulovirus (PxGV), and Trichoplusia ni granulovirus (TnGV). The ChfuGV conserved proteins are most closely related to those of CpGV, PhopGV, and AoGV. Comparative studies, performed on gene arrangements within this region of genomes, demonstrated that three GVs from group I maintain similar gene arrangements. 相似文献

We isolated 23 Chlorella viruses from 9 Korean cities. The viruses were initially amplified in the Chlorella strain NC64A. Pure isolates were obtained by repeated plaque isolations. A SDS-PAGE analysis revealed similar but distinct protein patterns, both among the group of purified viruses and in comparison with the prototype Chlorella virus PBCV-1. Digestions of the 330- to 350-kb genomic DNAs with 10 restriction enzymes revealed different restriction fragment patterns among the isolates. One isolate, SS-1, was resistant to digestion with HindIII, PvuII, AluI, and HaeIII, indicating methylation at the AGCT or GC sequences. Some isolates reacted with antiserum against PBCV-1. The others that did not react to this PBCV-1 antibody reacted to the antibody that was raised against purified HS-2 virion. The tRNA-coding regions of 8 Chlorella viruses were cloned and sequenced. These viruses contained 14-16 tRNA genes within a 1.2- to 2-kb region, except for the SS-1 isolate, which had a 1039-bp spacer in a cluster of 11 tRNA genes. The SS-1 spacer contained an open-reading frame (ORF) of 294 amino acids. This ORF had a 51% amino acid sequence similarity to the PBCV-1 ORF A478L. A Southern blot analysis suggested that it was a novel gene that lacked a homologue in PBCV-1. 相似文献

Baculovirus, Spodoptera litura granulovirus (SlGV) was isolated from the infected S. litura larvae, and was characterized. The granule of SlGV was ovoidal shape with an approximate size of 240∼340 nm× 140∼180 nm.
Each granule contained one single rod-shape virion with a mean size of 180∼200 nm×20∼40 nm. Restriction endonuclease fragment
analysis estimated that the total genome size of SlGV is about 115 kb. Necleotide sequence analysis of the granulin gene showed
that the gene encodes 249 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 29 kDa. When the phylogenic relationship was analyzed
using the nucleotide sequence of the granulin gene, SlGV was most closely related to Trichoplusia ni granulovirus (TnGV) and Xestia c-nigrum granulovirus (XcGV) which belong to Type I granulovirus. 相似文献

Isolates of a granulovirus (GV) from the Diamondback Moth, Plutella xylostella, and nucleopolyhedrovirus (NPV) isolates from Galleria mellonella and Autographa californica were characterized by restriction endonuclease analysis of viral DNA. The capacity for these viruses to infect P. xylostella larvae and some other lepidopteran pests of brassica crops (including Heliothis virescens, Crocidolomia binotalis and Mamestra brassicae) was examined in cross-transmission experiments in which the DNA isolated from purified progeny viruses, was compared by restriction endonuclease analysis with DNA from the inoculum viruses. Two P. xylostella GV isolates from Taiwan and China (Px GV-Taiwan and Px GV-China) appeared to be very closely-related on the basis of comparative restriction endonuclease analysis of viral genomic DNA. However, both virus isolates could be distinguished by 1-3 major band differences and by sub-molar band variation when their DNA was analysed following digestion with Eco RI, Bam HI and Hin dIII. Both P. xylostella GV isolates proved to be infectious for P. xylostella larvae but did not appear to infect M. brassicae, C. binotalis or H. virescens larvae. In contrast, a G. mellonella NPV (Gm NPV) isolate was infectious for P. xylostella larvae as well as for larvae of M. brassicae, C. binotalis and H. virescens. The results also confirmed that P. xylostella larvae are susceptible to infection by A. californica NPV. These studies form the basis for further evaluation of Px GV and Gm NPV as potential biological control agents for the Diamondback Moth. 相似文献

The fall webworm (Hyphantria cunea) impacts a wide variety of crops and cultivated broadleaf plant species. The pest is native to North America, was introduced to Europe and has since spread further as far as central Asia. Despite several attempts to control its distribution, the pest continues to spread causing damage all over the world. A naturally occurring baculovirus, Hyphantria cunea granulovirus (HycuGV-Hc1), isolated from the larvae of H. cunea in Turkey appears to have a potential as microbial control agent against this pest. In this report we describe the complete genome sequence and organization of the granulovirus isolate (HycuGV-Hc1) that infects the larval stages and compare it to other baculovirus genomes. The HycuGV-Hc1 genome is a circular double-stranded DNA of 114,825 bp in size with a nucleotide distribution of 39.3% G + C. Bioinformatics analysis predicted 132 putative open reading frames of (ORFs) ≥ 150 nucleotides. There are 24 ORFs with unknown function. Seven homologous repeated regions (hrs) and two bro genes (bro-1 and bro-2) were identified in the genome. Comparison to other baculovirus genomes, HycuGV-Hc1 revealed some differences in gene content and organization. Gene parity plots and phylogenetics confirmed that HycuGV-Hc1 is a Betabaculovirus and is closely related to Plutella xylostella granulovirus. This study expands our knowledge on the genetic variation of HycuGV isolates and provides further novel knowledge on the nature of granuloviruses. 相似文献

Melissococcus pluton, the causative agent of European foulbrood is an economically significant disease of honey bees (Apis mellifera) across most regions of the world and is prevalent throughout most states of Australia. 49 Isolates of M. pluton recovered from diseased colonies or honey samples in New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria were compared using SDS-PAGE, Western immunoblotting and restriction endonuclease analyses. DNA profiles of all 49 geographically diverse isolates showed remarkably similar AluI profiles although four isolates (one each from Queensland, South Australia, New South Wales and Victoria) displayed minor profile variations compared to AluI patterns of all other isolates. DNA from a subset of the 49 Australian and three isolates from the United Kingdom were digested separately with the restriction endonucleases CfoI, RsaI and DraI. Restriction endonuclease fragment patterns generated using these enzymes were also similar although minor variations were noted. SDS-PAGE of whole cell proteins from 13 of the 49 isolates from different states of Australia, including the four isolates which displayed minor profile variations (AluI) produced indistinguishable patterns. Major immunoreactive proteins of approximate molecular masses of 21, 24, 28, 30, 36, 40, 44, 56, 60, 71, 79 and 95 kDa were observed in immunoblots of whole cell lysates of 22 of the 49 isolates and reacted with rabbit hyperimmune antibodies raised against M. pluton whole cells. Neither SDS-PAGE or immunoblotting was capable of distinguishing differences between geographically diverse isolates of M. pluton. Collectively these data confirm that Australian isolates of M. pluton are genetically homogeneous and that this species may be clonal. Plasmid DNA was not detected in whole cell DNA profiles of any isolate resolved using agarose gel electrophoresis. 相似文献

A strategy for biological control of the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, has included the use of baculoviruses principally the nucleopolyhedrovirus SfMNPV, which have been extensively characterised. In contrast, the granulovirus of S. frugiperda (SfGV) has been poorly studied even though it is able to enhance the infectivity and virulence of NPVs. In this work, a Colombian SfGV isolate (VG008) was characterised in comparison with a reference isolate from Brazil (VG014). The viral morphology was characterised by ovoidal-shaped occlusion bodies (OB) that contained one single internal virion. Median lethal concentrations (LC50) and mean times to death (MTD) were 4.5 × 105 OBs/mL and 29 days for VG008 and 1.6 × 105 OBs/mL and 33 days for VG014. Both isolates reduced their insecticidal activity by 94%, after one hour of direct irradiation with ultraviolet light type B. The most prominent protein had an apparent molecular mass of 27 kDa and corresponded with the Granulin. Genomic comparison among isolates from Colombia and Brazil generated by restriction profiles showed differences in the number and size of fragments. Partial sequences of lef-8 and lef-9 genes and complete sequence of gran gene of Colombian SfGV isolate (VG008) showed high similarity values with VG014 and SfGV A12-4 homologous sequences, showing genetic distance lower than 0.015 (Kimura 2-parameter model), which confirmed that the three isolates belong to the same viral species. The characterisation of VG008 isolate demonstrated its high genomic and biological similarity with the Brazilian isolate. 相似文献

粉纹夜蛾颗粒体病毒增强蛋白锌离子结合域定点突变 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
粉纹夜蛾颗粒体病毒(Trichoplusia ni granulovirus, TnGV)增强蛋白(enhancin)具有增强病毒感染力的作用。该蛋白包含一个多种杆状病毒增强蛋白都具有的保守结构域HELGH,是典型的金属蛋白酶锌离子结合域,但该结构域对增强蛋白生物活性的重要性尚未得到研究。本研究通过定点突变构建了该结构域的5个氨基酸分别突变为2种不同氨基酸的共10种增强蛋白突变体基因,并用杆状病毒载体进行了重组表达。活性测定发现,10种突变型增强蛋白大部分都丧失了野生型增强蛋白所具有的降解粉纹夜蛾幼虫围食膜粘蛋白的生物学功能,只有1种(第4位G突变为A)保留该生物学活性。这一结果表明锌离子结合域对增强蛋白生物活性具有重要作用,也提示增强蛋白确是一种金属蛋白酶。 相似文献

The aim of this work was to isolate, identify and type carbofuran-degrading bacteria from two geographically distant soils. Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) patterns of the 16S rRNA gene and partial 16S rRNA sequence analysis were used to classify the 23 isolates obtained. Nine of them showed high similarity to Pseudomonas strains, seven showed similarity to the Flexibacter/Cytophaga/Bacteroides group and the remainder showed similarity to other bacterial genera. Isolates within the same group were sub-typed by comparing partial 16S rRNA sequences and SDS-PAGE analysis of their total protein profiles. Many of the UK isolates showed similarity to the Pseudomonas genera, while most of the Greek isolates showed similarity to the Flexibacter/Cytophaga/Bacteroides group. Only two Chrysobacterium strains isolated from both the UK and Greek soils were identical. 相似文献

Lakes in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica are characterized by a permanent ice cover and little or no anthropogenic influence.
Although bacterial cultures have been obtained from these habitats, recent culture-independent studies indicate that the most
abundant microbes in these systems are not yet cultivated. By using dilution-to-extinction cultivation methods with sterilized
and nutrient-amended lake water as media, we isolated 148 chemotrophic psychrotolerant bacterial cultures from fresh surface
water of Lake Fryxell and the east lobe of Lake Bonney and the hypersaline, suboxic bottom water from the west lobes of Lake
Bonney. Screening of the 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) genes of the cultures by restriction fragment length polymorphism
(RFLP) yielded 57 putatively pure psychrotolerant, slow growing cultures grouped into 18 clusters. The sequencing of 16S rRNA
genes of randomly selected representatives of each RFLP cluster revealed that the corresponding isolates belong to the Alphaproteobacteria (six RFLP patterns), Betaproteobacteria (six RFLP patterns), Bacteroidetes (four RFLP patterns), and Actinobacteria (two RFLP patterns). Phylogenetic analysis of the sequences showed that the vast majority of the isolates were not closely
related to previously described species. Thirteen of 18 RFLP patterns shared a 16S ribosomal deoxyribonucleic acid sequence
similarity of 97% or less with the closest described species, and four isolates had a sequence similarity of 93% or less with
the nearest described species. Phylogenetic analysis showed that these sequences were representatives of deeply branching
organisms in the respective phylum. A comparison of the isolates with 16S rRNA clone libraries prepared from the same environments
showed substantial overlap, indicating that dilution-to-extinction culturing in natural lake water media can help isolate
some of the most abundant organisms in these perennially ice-covered lakes. 相似文献

This study was undertaken to assess the discriminatory value of restriction endonuclease (RE) digestion patterns of Streptococcus suis chromosomal DNA using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and DNA-rDNA hybridization. For the RE digestion patterns, DNAs were digested separately with the enzymes BamHI and BglII and the resultant fragments were separated by SDS-PAGE. An Escherichia coli rDNA probe derived from pKK3535 was used for the hybridization. Twenty-three S. suis capsular type 2 isolates recovered from diseased and clinically healthy pigs, from a human case, and from a cow were compared in this study. The majority of isolates associated with septicaemia belonged to one restriction endonuclease analysis (REA) profile group. Isolates associated with pneumonia belonged either to the REA profile group of isolates associated with septicaemia or to a second REA profile group. The REA profiles of isolates from clinically healthy animals were more heterogeneous. The REA profile of the type 2 reference strain, S735, which was originally isolated from a pig, was very different from those of the porcine and bovine isolates but similar to the profile of the human isolate. The profiles obtained after rDNA hybridization were more homogeneous. Although different patterns were detected in the 23 isolates, there was no correlation between the source of the isolate and the patterns observed with this technique. 相似文献

A bacterial isolate (Mm2) of Melolontha melolontha was identified and characterized. Based on various morphological, physiological, biochemical and molecular characteristics, it was identified as Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. tenebrionis. This isolate was compared to the reference strains by electron microscopy, SDS-PAGE analysis, plasmid pattern, cry gene content and insecticidal activity. Cells of the isolate harbored flat square inclusions containing a protein component of approximately equal to65 kDa. After trypsin digestion of solubilized crystals, SDS-PAGE resolved a unique proteinase-resistant peptide of approximately equal to 50 kDa. Plasmid pattern showed similar bands to those of the reference strain, PCR analysis showed that the isolate has cry3 gene. Toxicity tests (against 5 coleopteran species) showed 80 % insecticidal activity against the larvae of M. melolontha. The isolate Mm2 may be valuable as biological control agent for M. melolontha and other coleopteran insects. 相似文献

Twenty-one strains of catalase-negative campylobacters from paediatric blood cultures were characterized by one-dimensional SDS-PAGE of cellular proteins. A further 11 Campylobacter strains were included for reference purposes. The partial protein patterns were used as the basis of a numerical analysis, which showed that 17 hippurate-negative strains had a high similarity to 'C. upsaliensis' (r greater than or equal to 0.82) irrespective of their geographical location, and that three hippurate-positive isolates had a high similarity (r greater than or equal to 0.87) to C. jejuni subsp. jejuni. One hippurate-positive CNW strain was not identified. The analysis of SDS-PAGE protein patterns proved an excellent method of characterizing these thermophilic campylobacter as they were difficult to identify by traditional methods. 相似文献

In Bangladesh little leaf disease was observed in brinjal ( Solanum melongena L.) and in periwinkle ( Catharanthus roseus ). Phloem-inhabiting phytoplasmas were consistently detected in both species of diseased plants using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques. The shape, size and within-tissue distribution of phytoplasmas appears to be similar in both hosts. Furthermore, the molecular characterization and identifications of observed phytoplasmas were carried out based on restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) patterns of PCR-amplified products (1200 bp) using phytoplasma-specific universal primers and sequencing analysis of both 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and intergenic spacer region (ISR) of 16S-23S rDNA phytoplasma genes. The patterns of RFLP analysis with seven restriction enzymes exhibited a similar pattern for both phytoplasma strains. The sequence homology between these two strains showed 100% similarity based on 16S rDNA and 16S-23S ISR. Therefore, in Bangladesh the causal agents of brinjal little leaf (BLL-Bd) and periwinkle little leaf (PLL-Bd) are probably the same or closely related phytoplasma strains. These strains, are very close or identical to the strain of brinjal little leaf phytoplasma in India (BLL-In), belonging to the clover proliferation group (Lee et al., Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 48, 1153–1169, 1998; Seemuller et al., J. Plant Pathol. 80, 3–26, 1998). 相似文献

Background
Spodoptera litura is a noctuid moth that is considered an agricultural pest. The larvae feed on a wide range of plants and have been recorded on plants from 40 plant families (mostly dicotyledons). It is a major pest of many crops. To better understand Spodoptera litura granulovirus (SpliGV), the nucleotide sequence of the SpliGV DNA genome was determined and analyzed.Methodology/Principal Findings
The genome of the SpliGV was completely sequenced. The nucleotide sequence of the SpliGV genome was 124,121 bp long with 61.2% A+T content and contained 133 putative open reading frames (ORFs) of 150 or more nucleotides. The 133 putative ORFs covered 86.3% of the genome. Among these, 31 ORFs were conserved in most completely sequenced baculovirus genomes, 38 were granulovirus (GV)-specific, and 64 were present in some nucleopolyhedroviruses (NPVs) and/or GVs. We proved that 9 of the ORFs were SpliGV specific.Conclusions/Significance
The genome of SpliGV is 124,121 bp in size. One hundred thirty-three ORFs that putatively encode proteins of 50 or more amino acid residues with minimal overlap were determined. No chitinase or cathepsin genes, which are involved in the liquefaction of the infected host, were found in the SpliGV genome, explaining why SpliGV-infected insects do not degrade in a typical manner. The DNA photolyase gene was first found in the genus Granulovirus. When phylogenic relationships were analyzed, the SpliGV was most closely related to Trichoplusia ni granulovirus (TnGV) and Xestia c-nigrum granulovirus (XecnGV), which belong to the Type I-granuloviruses (Type I-GV). 相似文献18.

A panel of monoclonal antibodies that recognize the two major glycoproteins of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BDV) was used to evaluate the antigenic relationship between cytopathic (CP) and noncytopathic (NCP) viruses isolated from cattle dead or dying from fatal BDV infections. Various unrelated BDV isolates were initially screened by indirect immunofluorescence with monoclonal antibodies directed against the 56- to 58- and 48-kilodalton glycoproteins of the virus. A wide spectrum of reactivity that was independent of biotype was found. Biological clones of the same isolate showed only minor variations from the parental isolate, as did isolates taken from different animals located on the same farm. A similar analysis was repeated with pairs of CP and NCP viruses isolated from 16 unrelated clinical cases of BDV infection resulting in fatal disease. The reactivity patterns within individual pairs of isolates taken from the same animals were in most instances very similar and in some cases indistinguishable from one another. The results demonstrate that antigenic similarity between biotypes is a consistent finding in animals dying from fatal BDV infections. In view of the wide degree between biotypes is a consistent finding in animals dying from fatal BDV infections. In view of the wide degree of variation in reactivity patterns between unrelated BDV isolates, the close antigenic similarity of CP BDV to the homologous NCP BDV of a given pair strongly suggests that CP BDV arises by mutation from NCP BDV. 相似文献

A gene that encodes a protein homologue to baculoviral IE-1 was identified and sequenced in the genome of the Choristoneura fumiferana granulovirus (ChfuGV). The gene has an 1278 nucleotide (nt) open-reading frame (ORF) that encodes 426 amino acids with an estimated molecular weight of 50.33 kDa. At the nucleotide level, several cis-acting regulatory elements were detected within the promoter region of the ie-1 gene of ChfuGV along with other studied granuloviruses (GVs). Two putative CCAAT elements were detected within the noncoding leader region of this gene; one was located on the opposite strand at -92 and the other at -420 nt from the putative start triplet. Two baculoviral late promoter motifs (TAAG) were also detected within the promoter region of the ie-1 gene of ChfuGV. A single polyadenylation signal, AATAAA, was located 18nt downstream of the putative translational stop codon of ie-1 from ChfuGV. At the protein level, the amino acid sequence data that was derived from the nucleotide sequence in ChfuGV IE-1 was compared to those of the Cydia pomonella granulovirus (CpGV), Xestia c-nigrum granulovirus (XcGV) and Plutella xylostella granulovirus (PxGV). The C-terminal regions of the granuloviral IE-1 sequences appeared to be more conserved when compared to the N-terminal regions. A domain, similar to the basic helix-loop-helix like (bHLH-like) domain in NPVs, was detected at the C-terminal region of IE-1 from ChfuGV (residues 387 to 414). A phylogenetic tree for baculoviral IE-1 was constructed using a maximum parsimony analysis. A phylogenetic estimation demonstrates that ChfuGV IE-1 is most closely related to that of CpGV. 相似文献

Eleven pure cultures of Borrelia from 3 species of wild rodents (Apodemus agrarius, Mus formosanus, Rattus losea) captured in Taichung, located in the center of Taiwan island, and on Kinmen Island were characterized. Five isolates showed restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) patterns of 5S-23S rRNA gene intergenic spacer sequences identical to those of strains 5MT and 10MT, identified as Borrelia valaisiana, which were isolated in the southern tip of South Korea. Although the remaining six isolates showed novel RFLP patterns, these isolates showed more similarity to members of B. valaisiana from Korea, Japan and Europe based on 16S rRNA gene and flagellin gene sequences. This led us to speculate that transmission and proliferation of this type of borrelia occurred between Taiwan and the southern part of South Korea. 相似文献
