    Abstract Successive viral passage of Spodoptera exigua multicapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus (SeMNPV) in the S. exigua cell line Se301 leads to the rapid accumulation of the non-hr origin of DNA replication (ori) as large concatemers. Passage of SeMNPV in two other S. exigua cell lines, SeUCR1 and SeIZD2109, did not show the accumulation of such concatemers. When introduced into SeUCR1 and SeIZD2109 cells, the non-hr ori concatemers generated in Se301 cells were maintained but did not increase. This suggests that the non-hr ori confers a strong selective advantage in Se301 cells, but not or to a lesser extent in the other cell lines. The cell line-specific accumulation of non-hr ori concatemers might be due to a higher intrinsic recombination frequency in Se301 cells and may reflect tissue related differences involving some host cell factor(s). Since non-hr ori concatemers in Se301 cells were more abundant in intracellular than in extracellular viral DNA preparations, episomal replication and the requirement of a minimal DNA size for packaging into nucleocapsids is hypothesized.

    Abstract White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) infects penaeid shrimp and other crustaceans. The WSSV virion consists of an enveloped rod-shaped nucleocapsid enclosing a large circular double-stranded DNA genome of 293 kbp. The virion envelope contains two major proteins of 28 (VP28) and 19 kDa (VP19) and the nucleocapsid consists of three major proteins of 26 (VP26), 24 (VP24) and 15 kDa (VP15). Study on the morphogenesis of the WSSV particle requires the genomic identification and chemical characterization of these WSSV virion proteins. An internal amino acid sequence of envelope protein VP19 was obtained by amino acid sequencing and used to locate the VP19 open reading frame of this protein on the genome, as WSSV ORF182. VP19 contained two putative transmembrane domains, which may anchor this protein in the WSSV envelope. Similarly, the gene for VP15 was located on the WSSV genome as ORF109. N-terminal amino acid sequencing on VP15 suggested that this protein was expressed from the second ATG of its ORF and the first methionine is lost by N-terminal protein processing. The 15 kDa protein is very basic and is a candidate DNA-binding protein in the WSSV nucleocapsid. None of the five major structural WSSV proteins appear to be glycosylated, which is an unusual feature among enveloped animal viruses.

    Abstract The generation of deletion mutants, including defective interfering viruses, upon serial passage of Spodoptera exigua multicapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus (SeMNPV) in insect cell culture has been studied. Sequences containing the non-homologous region origin of DNA replication (non-hr ori) became hypermolar in intracellular viral DNA within 10 passages in Se301 insect cells, concurrent with a dramatic drop in budded virus and polyhedron production. These predominant non-hr ori-containing sequences accumulated in larger concatenated forms and were generated de novo as demonstrated by their appearance and accumulation upon infection with a genetically homogeneous bacterial clone of SeMNPV (bacmid). Sequences were identified at the junctions of the non-hr ori units within the concatemers, which may be potentially involved in recombination events. Deletion of the SeMNPV non-hr ori using RecE/RecT-mediated homologous ET recombination in Escherichia coli resulted in a recombinant bacmid with strongly enhanced stability of virus and polyhedron production upon serial passage in insect cells. This suggests that the accumulation of non-hr oris upon passage is due to the replication advantage of these sequences. The non-hr ori deletion mutant SeMNPV bacmid can be exploited as a stable eukaryotic heterologous protein expression vector in insect cells.
