Abstract excerpt
PIF3 is one of the six conserved per os infectivity factors (PIFs) of baculoviruses. In this study, PIF3 of Helicoverpa armigera nucleopolyhedrovirus (HearNPV) was analysed by infectivity bioassays using a series of recombinant viruses harbouring various PIF3 truncation/substitution mutants. The results demonstrated that the N-terminal region (L26-Y45) and C-terminal region (T160-Q199) are essential for HearNPV...
