Nucleotide sequence of the ubiquitin-39K gene region from the Orgyia pseudotsugata multinucleocapsid nuclear polyhedrosis virus genome.
The region of the Orgyia pseudotsugata multinucleocapsid nuclear polyhedrosis virus (OpMNPV) genome containing the ubiquitin and the nuclear matrix-associated protein (39K) genes was sequenced. The first 77 amino acids of the OpMNPV ubiquitin open reading frame (ORF) showed 84.4% and 79% amino acid sequence identity to Autographa californica multinucleocapsid nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV) and the Spodoptera frugiperda insect ubiquitin, respectively. The predicted OpMNPV ubiquitin protein contains a 3' tail of 16 amino acids not present in the AcMNPV or S. frugiperda ubiquitin ORFs. The OpMNPV 39K ORF showed 56% amino acid sequence identity with the AcMNPV 39K ORF. Four additional ORFs from this region were also characterized.
