Choristoneura fumiferana granulovirus (ChfuGV) infection results two types of enveloped virions: Occlusion-derived virus (ODV) and budded virus (BV). Structural proteins ODVP-6E/ODV-E56 and p74 are two major conserved ODV-associated proteins that may be involved in the initiation of viral infection cycle in susceptible host insect larvae. This study presents the characterization of ChfuGV odvp-6e/odv-e56 and p74 transcription and translation as well as immunolocalization of these proteins in the occluded ChfuGV virion. Our results revealed that the transcription of odvp-6e/odv-e56 and p74 genes, both, start at 24 hours post infection (h p.i.). Using monospecific polyclonal antibodies made against ODVP-6E/ODV-E56 and p74 we demonstrated that these proteins are both expressed late in infection (24 h p.i.). Immunogold labeling using antisera against ODVP-6E/ODV-E56 and p74 proteins demonstrated that ODVP-6E/ODV-E56 and p74 proteins are both associated with the ODV envelop of ChfuGV.
云杉卷叶蛾颗粒体病毒(ChfuGV)感染会产生两种有包膜的病毒粒子:多角体衍生病毒(ODV)和出芽病毒(BV)。结构蛋白ODVP-6E/ODV-E56和p74是两种主要的保守ODV相关蛋白,可能参与易感宿主昆虫幼虫中病毒感染周期的起始。本研究介绍了ChfuGV的odvp-6e/odv-e56和p74转录与翻译的特征,以及这些蛋白在被包埋的ChfuGV病毒粒子中的免疫定位。我们的结果显示,odvp-6e/odv-e56和p74基因的转录均在感染后24小时(h p.i.)开始。使用针对ODVP-6E/ODV-E56和p74制备的单特异性多克隆抗体,我们证明这些蛋白均在感染后期(24 h p.i.)表达。使用针对ODVP-6E/ODV-E56和p74蛋白的抗血清进行免疫金标记,结果表明ODVP-6E/ODV-E56和p74蛋白均与ChfuGV的ODV包膜相关。
