RESUMO

The nucleotide sequence of the cDNA of an abundant late 0.5-kilobase transcript of Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus revealed a small open reading frame encoding an arginine-rich 6.9-kilodalton protein. The predicted amino acid composition of the 6.9-kilodalton protein was essentially identical to that of the core protein of viral nucleocapsids. The precise location of the 5' and 3' ends of the transcript were confirmed by S1 nuclease and primer extension analyses. Multiple overlapping transcripts through this region include three early and three abundant late RNAs which are transcribed counterclockwise and one transient RNA which is transcribed clockwise with respect to the physical map of the virus.
