Location and phylogenetic analysis of the region immediately upstream of the granulin gene of the Clostera anachoreta granulovirus.
The region immediately upstream of the granulin gene from Clostera anachoreta granulovirus (ClanGV) was identified from hybridization experiments and sequenced. The sequence of 5122nt EcoRI restriction fragment was presented and compared with the equivalent area in other GVs. Database searches showed that this region contained three open reading frames (ORFs) similar to the baculovirus genes (egt, fgf and me53, respectively) and four ORFs unique to ClanGV genome. Phylogenetic trees of the baculovirus genes egt and me53 were constructed. These analyses indicated that ClanGV genes may be more closely related to CfGV, CpGV, ClGV, PoGV and AoGV than to PxGV and XcGV.
