Inhibitor of apoptosis protein 1 (IAP1) of Antheraea pernyi multinucleocapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus (AnpeNPV) belongs to the baculovirus IAP1 type. The function of AnpeNPV-IAP1 in viral replication and occlusion body (OB) production remains unknown. In this study, we demonstrated that AnpeNPV-iap1 is a late gene. AnpeNPV-IAP1 mainly localizes to the nuclear ring zone and exhibits dynamic distribution in the cytoplasm and the virogenic stroma during AnpeNPV infection. AnpeNPV-IAP1 impacted the expression of a variety of viral genes at the very late phase of infection in Tn-Hi5 cells. The deletion of AnpeNPV-iap1 caused decreased expression levels of polyhedrin, morphological changes to OBs and reduced OB production in A. pernyi pupae, along with a lengthening of the lethal time of A. pernyi larvae. These results suggest that AnpeNPV-iap1 is involved in regulating viral gene expression, OB production and morphogenesis in A. pernyi.
柞蚕多核衣壳核型多角体病毒(AnpeNPV)的凋亡抑制蛋白1(IAP1)属于杆状病毒IAP1类型。AnpeNPV - IAP1在病毒复制和包涵体(OB)产生中的功能尚不清楚。在本研究中,我们证明AnpeNPV - iap1是一个晚期基因。AnpeNPV - IAP1主要定位于核环区,在AnpeNPV感染期间在细胞质和病毒发生基质中表现出动态分布。AnpeNPV - IAP1在Tn - Hi5细胞感染的极晚期影响多种病毒基因的表达。AnpeNPV - iap1的缺失导致柞蚕蛹中多角体蛋白表达水平降低、OB形态变化以及OB产量减少,同时柞蚕幼虫的致死时间延长。这些结果表明AnpeNPV - iap1参与调控柞蚕中的病毒基因表达、OB产生和形态发生。
