Abstract

To investigate the host range determining factors of nuclear polyhedrois virus (NPV), Autographa california NPV and Bombyx mori NPV were coinfected into the two different cell lines, BmN-4 and Sf-9. The recombinant baculoviruses, RecS-A6 and RecB-727 which have an expanded host range, were isolated from Sf-9 and BmN-4 cell lines, respectively. The molecular biological characteristics of the recombinant baculoviruses were investigated. The pathogenicity of RecB-727 was similar to that of wild type BmNPV, while the pathogenicity of RecS-A6 was relatively lower than that of wild type BmNPV. The restriction enzyme digestion patterns of parental viruses and recombinant viruses showed that the recombinant virus has an expanded host range by genetic recombination. Southern blot analysis revealed that the p10 gene of RecB-727 was derived from AcNPV genomic DNA, while RecS-A6 has p10 gene of BmNPV in a viral genome. To investigate the host range expansion mechanism of recombinant baculovirus, HindIII-SacI 0.6 kb DNA fragments of RecS-A6 and RecB-727 were cloned and sequenced. The results showed that of wild type BmNPV helicase gene, suggesting that the expanded host range of recombinant baculoviruses was due to the insertion of BmNPV helicase gene into AcNPV viral genome.

AcNPV와 BmNPV를 배양세포주에서 동시감염시켜 선발한 숙주범위가 넓어진 재조합 바이러스인 RecB-727과 RecS-A6의 분자생물학적인 특성들을 조사하였다. 재조합 바이러스의 LT50 값을 조사한 결과, RecS-A6는 모바이러스인 BmNPV 보다 비교적 낮은 병원성을 보았으나 RecB-727은 거의 비슷한 수준의 높은 병원성을 나타내었다. 재조합 바이러스 DNA를 분리하여 모바이러스 DNA와 함께 제한효소 패턴을 비교한 결과 DNA 수준에서 재조합이 일어났음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 일부 유전자의 재조합을 예측할 수 있었다. 또한 p10 유전자에 대한 Southern blot 분석 결과 RecB-727의 p10 유전자는 AcNPV에서 유래되었으며, RecS-A6는 BmNPV의 p10 유전자를 갖고 있는 것으로 추정된다. 재조합 바이러스의 숙주범위 확장에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 알려진 DNA helicase 유전자 내의 HindIII-SacI 0.6kb 부위에 대하여 약 250 bp의 염기서열을 조사한 결과, 이 부위의 염기서열은 BmNPV helicase의 염기서열과 동일하였다.
