C-terminal 20 residues of ORF3 protein of duck circovirus genotype 2 regulates the nuclear localization and inhibits apoptotic activity of ORF3 protein.

Abstract excerpt

Duck circovirus (DuCV) is divided into genotypes 1 and 2. The DuCV ORF3 protein is a newly identified viral protein with apoptotic activity. In this study, the differences in the gene sequences, subcellular localization, and apoptotic activities of the ORF3 proteins of DuCV genotypes 1 and 2 were analyzed. A T-to-A point mutation at nucleotide 236 (T236A) in the ORF3 gene sequence of DuCV genotype 1 was observed,...
