two concentric protein shell structure with spikes of silkworm bombyx mori cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus revealed by small-angle neutron scattering using the contrast variation method.the overall and internal structures of the silkworm bombyx mori cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus was investigated by small-angle neutron scattering using the contrast variation method. data were collected in aqueous buffer solutions containing 0, 50, 75, and 100% d2o in the q range of 0.002 to 0.0774 a-1 at 5 degrees c. the radius of gyration at infinite contrast was estimated to be 336 a. the contrast matching point of the virus was determined to correspond to about 50% d2o level, evidence that t ...199910220584
electrophoretic separation of the plus and minus strands of rotavirus sa11 double-stranded rnas.the genome of the rotaviruses consists of eleven segments of completely double-stranded rna (dsrna). to provide a method for separating and identifying the complementary plus and minus strand rnas within these segments, we have characterized their migration patterns under denaturing conditions on agarose-urea gels. virion-derived 3h-labelled dsrnas were resolved by electrophoresis on a polyacrylamide gel and the individual genome segments recovered by electroelution. upon electrophoresis in a lo ...19863016018
"pretranscriptional capping" in the biosynthesis of cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus mrna.the in vitro synthesis of cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus (cpv) mrna was previously shown to be dependent upon the presence of the methyl donor s-adenosylmethionine (adomet). we now find that the competitive inhibitor of methylation, s-adenosylhomocysteine (adohcy), also stimulates cpv mrna synthesis efficiently, resulting in the synthesis of viral mrnas containing 5'-terminal gpppa and ppa, rather than m(7)gpppam as observed with adomet. in addition to adohcy, other adomet analogues, including s ...1978349555
nucleotide sequences of genome segments 6 and 7 of bombyx mori cypovirus 1, encoding the viral structural proteins v4 and v5, respectively.nucleotide sequence analyses of cdnas derived from the double-stranded rna genome segments 6 and 7 (s6 and s7) of bombyx mori cypovirus 1 (bmcpv-1) have revealed that they consist of 1796 and 1501 nucleotides encoding putative proteins of 561 and 448 amino acids with molecular masses of 63604 and 49875 (p64 and p50), respectively. the amino acid sequence of p64, which has a high leucine residue content (10%), contains a leucine zipper motif. antiserum raised against p64 specifically bound to a v ...200010725444
"methylation-coupled" transcription by virus-associated transcriptase of cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus containing double-stranded rna.s-adenosyl-l-methionine (sam) activated the virus-associated rna polymerase of cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus in vitro. synthesis of single-stranded viral rna (mrna) proceeded depending on the presence of sam.a methyl residue of sam was incorporated into an rna molecule. a ribose moiety of adenylic acid in the 5'-terminal region of the nascent rna was methylated in the very early stage of the transcription. the dependence of the viral transcription on the presence of sam and the methylation of t ...197410793759
molecular characterization of bombyx mori cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus genome segment 4.the complete nucleotide sequence of the genome segment 4 (s4) of bombyx mori cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus (bmcpv) was determined. the 3,259-nucleotide sequence contains a single long open reading frame which spans nucleotides 14 to 3187 and which is predicted to encode a protein with a molecular mass of about 130 kda. western blot analysis showed that s4 encodes bmcpv protein vp3, which is one of the outer components of the bmcpv virion. sequence analysis of the deduced amino acid sequence of ...200111134312
