Description
Summary:Insect Pathology Resource Center, Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14853, U.S.A. Nuclei isolated from Trichoplusia ni cells (TN-368) infected with Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV) were used to study the replication of viral DNA. Based on DNA:DNA hybridization data, virus-specific DNA polymerase activity was insensitive to aphidicolin and novobiocin and was inhibited by ddTTP and N -ethylmaleimide. The data indicate that the AcMNPV-specific DNA polymerase is a -like DNA polymerase which was first detected at 5 h post-inoculation. Keywords: AcMNPV, DNA polymerase, hybridization, DNA:DNA Received 16 December 1986; accepted 30 March 1987.
