Several triphosphates (TP) of 5-substituted deoxyuridine (dU), like 5-ethyl (Et), 5-n-propyl (n-Pr), 5-iso-propyl (iso-Pr), 5-n-hexyl (n-Hx), and 5-trifluorothymidine (F3-dT) were used as substrates for HeLa DNA polymerase alpha and for two herpes simplex virus (HSV)-coded DNA polymerases isolated from HeLa cells infected with HSV-1, strain C42 (wild-type), or its mutant resistant to phosphonoformate (PFAr). All polymerases were purified up to the DNA-cellulose column step and they showed comparable specific activities. The incorporation into DNA studied with all the alkyl analogues of dUTP is several times higher with the virus enzymes than with DNA polymerase alpha. The DNA polymerase of the mutant virus incorporates dUTP analogues to a lower extent than the wild-type polymerase. The two virus enzymes also differ in the Km and Vmax values for different substrates, indicating that the mutation to PFAr has affected the structure of the virus DNA polymerase. Surprisingly, all three enzymes use F3-dTTP as substrate for DNA synthesis to an equal but limited extent.

Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry were used to analyze the structural proteins of the occlusion-derived virus (ODV) of Helicoverpa armigera single nucleocapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus (HearNPV), a group II NPV. Twenty-three structural proteins of HearNPV ODV were identified, 21 of which have been reported previously as structural proteins or ODV-associated proteins in other baculoviruses. These include polyhedrin, P78/83, P49, ODV-E18, ODV-EC27, ODV-E56, P74, LEF-3, HA66 (AC66), DNA polymerase, GP41, VP39, P33, ODV-E25, helicase, P6.9, ODV/BV-C42, VP80, ODV-EC43, ODV-E66, and PIF-1. Two proteins encoded by HearNPV ORF44 (ha44) and ORF100 (ha100) were discovered as ODV-associated proteins for the first time. ha44 encodes a protein of 378 aa with a predicted mass of 42.8 kDa. ha100 encodes a protein of 510 aa with a predicted mass of 58.1 kDa and is a homologue of the gene for poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (parg). Western blot analysis and immunoelectron microscopy confirmed that HA44 is associated with the nucleocapsid and HA100 is associated with both the nucleocapsid and the envelope of HearNPV ODV. HA44 is conserved in group II NPVs and granuloviruses but does not exist in group I NPVs, while HA100 is conserved only in group II NPVs.
