Abstract excerpt
The complete sequence of a 3666-nucleotide (nt) open reading frame (ORF) and its flanking regions (58.1-62.1 map units (m.u.) from Bombyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus (BmNPV)) was determined. This ORF, BmNPV dnahel, encoded a predicted protein of 143623 Da which possessed seven consensus motifs found in proteins which unwind duplex DNAs, indicating that it is a DNA helicase. A 572-bp SacI-HindIII fragment,...
