It was shown that two small RNAs about 65 and 55 nucleotides long included in NPV B. mori polyhedra form with polypeptides p29 and p14 specific RNP-complexes with molecular weights of 50 and 31 kDa, respectively. Both complexes form high-molecular weight complex with polyhedrin. Origin and nature of p29 and p14 polypeptides are discussed.  相似文献

A technique using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was developed for detection of the nucleopolyhedrovirus (NPV) polyhedrin gene. The amino acid sequences of the polyhedrin gene were compared in twenty-six NPVs. A highly conserved DNA sequence within the coding region of the polyhedrin gene was targeted for amplification. One pair of degenerate PCR primers was designed to produce fragments of about 430 bp. The NPVs detected by this technique were Autographa californica NPV, Bombyx mori NPV, Hyphantria cunea NPV, Spodoptera exigua NPV, S. litura NPV, and Lymantria dispar NPV. This technique would be useful in monitoring the distribution of NPVs and release of the wild type and recombinant NPVs.  相似文献

The polyhedrin gene of the nuclear polyhedrosis virus of the silkmoth Bombyx mori (BmNPV) has been subjected to deletion mutagenesis. A number of clones containing partially deleted polyhedrin genes were characterized and four clones containing limited deletions of the 5'-untranslated or 5'-flanking sequences of the gene were further analyzed with respect to polyhedrin promoter activity. The functional characterization of the deletion mutants was achieved through the insertion of a chloramphenicol acetyl transferase (CAT) gene (cat) into each deletion junction. The resultant cat constructs were introduced into the genome of BmNPV through homologous recombination and the effect of each deletion on the activity of the polyhedrin promoter was evaluated by measurements of CAT enzymatic activity in extracts of tissue culture cells infected with the corresponding recombinant BmNPVs as well as by primer extension assays. Removal of the entire leader region and eleven adjacent residues of the 5'-flanking sequences of the polyhedrin gene results in a dramatic decrease in promoter activity, which, however, remains detectable through CAT activity measurements. Elimination of an additional 30 nucleotides (nt) of the upstream sequences results in the complete inactivation of the polyhedrin promoter. The functional characterization of a deletion mutant lacking 41 nt of the 5'-flanking sequences has demonstrated that no functions necessary for viral infectivity, replication or assembly are disrupted by this deletion, since the corresponding recombinant viruses propagate in the cells with the same kinetics and to the same extent as wild-type BmNPV. As a result of the deletion mutagenesis, two classes of transfer vectors have become available. The first class can be used for introducing into the viral genome foreign nucleotide sequences under polyhedrin promoter control, while the second one can be used for obtaining recombinant viruses harboring foreign genetic material in an environment which is devoid of polyhedrin promoter activity.  相似文献

U4 RNA is one of several small nuclear RNAs involved in the splicing of mRNA precursors. The domestic chicken has two genes per haploid genome that are capable of encoding U4 RNA. The U4X RNA gene (which encodes a sequence variant of U4 RNA that was unknown prior to the cloning of the gene) and the U4B RNA gene were both expressed in vivo in each of seven adult and three embryonic chicken tissues examined. However, the ratio of U4B RNA to U4X RNA can vary more than sevenfold in both a tissue- and stage-specific manner.  相似文献

Through analysis of cloned fragments of N. crassa mitochondrial DNA, we have derived a physical map for the region of the mitochondrial genome which encodes the ribosomal RNAs and most of the tRNAs. We have located RNA genes on this map by hybridization of purified 32P end-labeled RNA probes, and our findings are as follows. First, the gene for the large ribosomal RNA contains an intervening sequence of approximately 2000 bp. Second, the genes for the small and large ribosomal RNAs are not adjacent, as previously reported, and the region between them contains a number of tRNA genes, including that for the mitochondrial tRNATyr, which is located close to the small rRNA gene on the same strand of the mitochondrial DNA. Third, there is a second cluster of tRNA genes on the mitochondrial DNA following the large ribosomal RNA gene, but there is no evidence for the presence of tRNA genes in the intervening sequence of the large ribosomal RNA. Fourth, hybridization of labeled ribosomal and transfer RNAs to the separated strands of a cloned 16 kbp DNA fragment covering this region indicates that the two ribosomal RNAs and most, if not all, of the mitochondrial tRNAs are encoded on one strand of the mitochondrial DNA.  相似文献

Polyhedrin gene of Bombyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus.   总被引:14,自引:7,他引:7       下载免费PDF全文
A portion of the genome of the nuclear polyhedrosis virus of Bombyx mori has been cloned. This part of the viral genome contains the gene encoding the viral occlusion body protein, polyhedrin. The polyhedrin gene has been sequenced in its entirety together with some of its 5' and 3' flanking sequences. The primary structure of polyhedrin predicted from the nucleotide sequence of the gene was found to be somewhat different from the one reported previously for the authentic protein (E. A. Kozlov, T. L. Levitina, N. M. Gusak, and S. B. Serebryani, Bioorg. Khim., 7:1008-1015, 1981; S. B. Serebryani, T. L. Levitina, M. L. Kautsman, Y. L. Radavski, N. M. Gusak, M. N. Ovander, N. V. Sucharenko, and E. A. Kozlov, J. Invertebr. Pathol., 30:442-443, 1977). Comparison of the primary structures of the polyhedrin of the nuclear polyhedrosis virus of B. mori with that of Autographa californica suggests that considerable selective pressure has been exercised at the protein level during evolution. Nucleotide sequence comparisons of the two structural genes reveal that the coding sequences have diverged significantly through the accumulation of silent and replacement substitutions. In contrast, a remarkable degree of sequence conservation was found to exist in the domains corresponding to the 5' and 3' noncoding regions of the polyhedrin mRNAs.  相似文献

A homologue ofAutographa californica NPV (AcNPV) p10 gene was identified and cloned fromBombyx mori NPV (BmNPV). BmNPV p10 gene encodes truncated protein of 70 amino acid residues that lacks carboxyl terminus comparing with the p10 protein encoded by AcNPV. The putative TATA box sequence and the ATAAG motif which is the consensus sequence of baculovirus very late promoter were conserved. A transfer vector, pBNT1, which includes the p10 promoter region of BmNPV for foreign gene expression was constructed. By using pBNT1, a recombinant BmNPV, Bmp10-Luc, in which the p10 gene was replaced by the firefly luciferase gene, was obtained. We also obtained another recombinant virus, BmPH-Luc, in which the polyhedrin gene was replaced by the luciferase gene. The luciferase activity detected in BoMo-15AIIc insect cells infected with Bmp10-Luc was approximately 50% of that infected with BmPH-Luc, suggesting that although both the p10 and polyhedrin promoters of BrnNPV are effective in high-level expression of foreign gene, the p10 promoter is not so strong as the polyhedrin promoter.  相似文献

microRNA(miRNA)是一类细胞内源性的小片段非编码RNA家族,通过与靶基因3′非翻译区(3′untranslated region,3′UTR)结合,对基因表达进行转录后水平的负性调控,参与多种生理和病理学过程。对细胞内成熟体miRNA的功能抑制机制之一是抑制物与miRNA互补结合,从而阻止其与靶基因的结合。这类抑制物主要包括细胞内天然存在的竞争性内源RNA(competing endogenous RNA,ce RNA),以及人工合成或载体表达的外源性miRNA吸附物。本文分别对这两种机制的作用方式进行综述,并对二者的相似点和不同点进行总结。  相似文献

Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) is a typical species of Baculoviridae. The complete genome sequence of a BmNPV strain with cubic occlusion bodies is reported here. The genome of this strain consists of 127,465 nucleotides with a G+C content of 40.36% and is 97.3% and 97.5% identical to those of BmNPV strain T3 and Bombyx mandarina NPV S1, respectively. Despite the abnormal polyhedra it forms, the polyhedrin gene of the BmNPV cubic strain is 100% identical to those of the other two strains. Baculovirus repeated ORFs and homologous repeat regions cause the major differences in genome size of these BmNPV isolates.  相似文献
