Nucleotide sequence of Bombyx mori cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus segment 8

The segments 8 (S8) of the 10 double-stranded RNA genomes from Bombyx mori cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus (BmCPV) strains I and H were converted into cDNAs, amplified by PCR, and cloned. The nucleotide sequence analysis of the two full-length S8 cDNAs showed that the segments consist of 1328 nucleotides encoding putative proteins (p44) of 390 amino acids with molecular masses of about 44 kDa, which have glutamic acid-rich and proline-rich...
