tupaia (tree shrew) adenovirus dna: sequence of the left-hand fragment corresponding to the transforming early region of human adenoviruses. | the nucleotide sequence of the left-hand region of the adenovirus dna of the phylogenetically interesting tree shrew, (tupaia belangeri) has been determined. transcription signals, initiation codons, splice sites and termination codons were assigned on the basis of its relatedness to the eia region of human adenoviruses 5, 7 and 12. a consensus sequence for encapsidation of adenoviral dna that is based on the established packaging region of adenovirus 16 is proposed. the sequenced region include ... | 1983 | 6321152 |
identification of polypeptides of the tree shrew (tupaia) adenovirus. | the virion polypeptides of the tupaia (tree shrew) adenovirus were analyzed by sds-polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis and by isoelectric focusing. the viral proteins from either nonradioactive or 35s-methionine-labeled virions formed distinct patterns of at least 15 polypeptides which were different from those of known human and animal adenoviruses. two-dimensional analyses revealed the presence of 18 discernible polypeptides. | 1980 | 7251332 |
characterization of the complete genome of the tupaia (tree shrew) adenovirus. | the members of the family adenoviridae are widely spread among vertebrate host species and normally cause acute but innocuous infections. special attention is focused on adenoviruses because of their ability to transform host cells, their possible application in vector technology, and their phylogeny. the primary structure of the genome of tupaia adenovirus (tav), which infects tupaia spp. (tree shrew) was determined. tree shrews are taxonomically assumed to be at the base of the phylogenetic tr ... | 2003 | 12634391 |
molecular anatomy of tupaia (tree shrew) adenovirus genome; evolution of viral genes and viral phylogeny. | adenoviruses are globally spread and infect species in all five taxons of vertebrates. outstanding attention is focused on adenoviruses because of their transformation potential, their possible usability as vectors in gene therapy and their applicability in studies dealing with, e.g. cell cycle control, dna replication, transcription, splicing, virus-host interactions, apoptosis, and viral evolution. the accumulation of genetic data provides the basis for the increase of our knowledge about aden ... | 2003 | 12913356 |
completion of the genome analysis of snake adenovirus type 1, a representative of the reptilian lineage within the novel genus atadenovirus. | genome sequencing and analysis of snake adenovirus type 1 (snadv-1), originating from corn snake, were completed. this is the first full genomic sequence of an adenovirus from reptilian hosts. the presence of characteristic genus-common genes and transcription units, showed that snadv-1 shares similar genome organisation with members of the recently established genus atadenovirus. three novel open reading frames of yet unknown functions were found. one of these seemed to be related to a putative ... | 2008 | 18166240 |
isolation of a novel adenovirus from california sea lions zalophus californianus. | viral hepatitis associated with adenoviral infection has been reported in california sea lions zalophus californianus admitted to rehabilitation centers along the california coast since the 1970s. canine adenovirus 1 (cadv-1) causes viral hepatitis in dogs and infects a number of wildlife species. attempts to isolate the virus from previous sea lion hepatitis cases were unsuccessful, but as the hepatitis had morphologic features resembling canine infectious hepatitis, and since the virus has a w ... | 2011 | 21790072 |
the nucleotide sequence of the inverted terminal repetition of the tree shrew adenovirus dna. | the termini of the tupaia (tree shrew) adenovirus (tav) dna have been sequenced. the inverted terminal repetitions (itr) are 166 bp long containing the a + t-rich, highly conserved sequence present in all adenovirus dnas so far analysed. an unusual feature within the tav itr is the presence of four sets of a conserved sequence tgaccg which occur at or near the ends of many adenovirus itr. | 1983 | 6685092 |
