چکیده انگلیسی
Unlike the heterodimeric poly(A) polymerase (PAP) of vaccinia virus (VACV), the PAP from the Amsacta moorei entomopoxvirus, AMEV, is potentially derived from three subunits: a single large and two small subunits (AMV060 and AMV115). The VACV small subunit serves as a 2â²-O-methyltransferase, a processivity factor for mRNA polyadenylation, and a transcription elongation factor. We wished to determine the structure-function relationships of the three putative AMEV PAP subunits. We show that AMV060 is expressed as an early gene persisting throughout infection, whereas AMV115 is expressed late. We demonstrate that AMV060 exhibits 2â²-O-methyltransferase activity but the gene is not essential for virus growth. Absence of the AMV060 protein has no effect on the length of the poly(A) tails present in mRNA. No physical association was found between any of the putative AMEV PAP subunits. We therefore propose that mRNA polyadenylation does not require interactions between these three proteins.
