Sequence analysis and transcriptional mapping of the orf-2 gene of Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus.
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.
