Sequencing of the dnapol promoter region of Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcNPV) revealed an overlapping open reading frame (ORF) in an antisense orientation, referred to as ORF-2. Analysis of the ORF-2 deduced amino-acid sequence revealed two short regions of homology with a similar ORF from Lymantria dispar nuclear polyhedrosis virus (LdNPV). Two 3' processing signals of this gene, expressed late during infection, were shown to be located on the orf-2 stop codon and 162 nucleotides further downstream.
