Genome sequence analysis of a Helicoverpa armigera single nucleopolyhedrovirus (HearNPV-TR) isolated from Heliothis peltigera in Turkey.

ABSTRACT: The entire genome of Helicoverpa armigera single nucleopolyhedrovirus (HearNPV-TR) was sequenced, and compared to genomes of other existing isolates. HearNPV-TR genome is 130.691 base pairs with a 38.9% G+C content and has 137 open reading frames (ORFs) of ? 150 nucleotides. Five homologous repeated sequences (hrs) and two baculovirus repeated ORFs (bro-a and bro-b) were identified. Phylogenetic analysis showed that HearNPV-TR is closer to HaSNPV-C1, HaSNPV-G4, HaSNPV-AU and HasNPV. However, there are significant differences in hr3, hr5 regions and in bro-a gene. Pairwise Kimura-2 parameter analysis of 38 core genes sequences of HearNPV-TR and other Helicoverpa NPVs showed that the genetic distances for these sequences were below 0.015 substitutions/site. Genomic differences as revealed by restriction profiles indicated that hr3, hr5 regions and bro-a gene may play a role in the virulence of HearNPV-TR.

Project description:Helicoverpa assulta is a pest that causes severe damage to tobacco, pepper and other cash crops. A local strain of HearNPV-BJ (formerly Helicoverpa assulta nucleopolyhedrovirus (HeasNPV-DJ0031)) was isolated from infected H. assulta larvae in Beijing, which had been regarded as a new kind of baculovirus in previous studies. Describing the biological characteristics of the strain, including its external morphology, internal structure and the pathological characteristics of the infection of various cell lines, can provide references for the identification and function of the virus. HearNPV-BJ virion was defined as a single-nucleocapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus by scanning electron microscopy. QB-Ha-E-5 (H. armigera) and BCIRL-Hz-AM1 (H. zea) cell lines were sensitive to HearNPV-BJ. Undoubtedly modern developed sequencing technology further facilitates the increasing understanding of various strains. The whole genome sequence of the HearNPV-BJ was sequenced and analyzed. The HearNPV-BJ isolate genome was 129, 800 bp nucleotides in length with a G + C content of 38.87% and contained 128 open reading frames (ORFs) encoding predicted proteins of 50 or over 50 amino acids, 67 ORFs in the forward orientation and 61 ORFs in the reverse orientation, respectively. The genome shared 99% sequence identity with Helicoverpa armigera nucleopolyhedrovirus C1 strain (HearNPV-C1), and 103 ORFs had very high homology with published HearNPV sequences. Two bro genes and three hrs were found to be dispersed along the HearNPV-BJ genome. Three of the highest homologs, ORFs with HearNPV, were smaller due to the earlier appearance of the stop codon with unknown functions. P6.9 of HearNPV-BJ, a structural protein, is distinctly different from that of Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV); its homology with the corresponding gene in HearNPV-C1 was 93.58%. HearNPV-BJ contains 38 core genes identified in other baculoviruses, and phylogenetic analysis indicates HearNPV-BJ belongs to Alphabaculovirus Group II, same as HearNPV-C1. The resulting data provide a better understanding of virion structure, gene function and character of infection. By supplementing the whole-genome sequencing data and Kimura-2 model index, there is more evidence to indicate that HearNPV-BJ may be a variant of Helicoverpa armigera nucleopolyhedrovirus, which also deepens our understanding of the virus species demarcation criteria.
