Journal ArticleDOI
Sequence analysis of the Plutella xylostella granulovirus genome.
Yoshifumi Hashimoto,Tohru Hayakawa,Yasumasa Ueno,Tomonori Fujita,Yoshitaka Sano,Tsuguo Matsumoto +5 more
TL;DR: The Plutella xylostella granulovirus genome DNA was sequenced and the predicted open reading frames (ORFs) were compared to genes of the first-sequenced GV, Xestia c-nigrum GV (XcGV), and those from other baculoviruses and organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns of genome organization and content in lepidopteran baculoviruses.
Journal ArticleDOI
GalNAc pretreatment inhibits trapping of Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Ac on the peritrophic membrane of Bombyx mori
TL;DR: Results suggested that Cry1Ac bound a PM protein via GalNAc on a sugar side chain through N‐acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) in a manner that facilitated the passage of Cry1Aa through the peritrophic membrane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of a novel plasma membrane protein, expressed in the midgut epithelia of Bombyx mori, that binds to Cry1A toxins
Delwar Hossain,Yasuyuki Shitomi,Kenta Moriyama,Masahiro Higuchi,Tohru Hayakawa,Toshiaki Mitsui,Ryoichi Sato,Hidetaka Hori +7 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that the novel 252-kDa protein isolated from brush border membranes of Bombyx mori may function with Cry1A toxins during the insecticidal response and/or Cry toxin resistance mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of proteins encoded in the bipartite genome of a new type of parvo-like virus isolated from silkworm — structural protein with DNA polymerase motif
Tohru Hayakawa,Katsura Kojima,Kiichirou Nonaka,Masao Nakagaki,Ken Sahara,Shin-ichiro Asano,Toshihiko Iizuka,Hisanori Bando +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the two largest ORFs, VD1-ORF1 and VD2- ORF1, code for the two remaining structural proteins, which are conserved among various DNA polymerases and showed an evolutionary relationship with theDNA polymerases involved in protein-primed replication.
