Abstract excerpt
Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) contains five baculovirus repeated ORF (bro) genes. We have previously reported that all of these genes (bro-a, b, c, d and e) are transcribed as early genes and require viral factor(s) for their expression. In this study, we investigated the mechanism of promoter activation of the bro-c gene. Transient expression assays using genomic libraries of BmNPV indicated that the...
