Abstract

DNA polymerase (DNApol) is highly conserved in all baculoviruses and plays an essential role in viral DNA replication. It determines the fidelity of baculovirus DNA replication by inserting the correct nucleotides into the primer terminus and proofreading any mispaired nucleotides. DNApols of groups I and II of the genus in the family share many common structural features. However, it is not clear whether a group I multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) DNApol can be substituted by a group II NPV DNApol. Here we report the successful generation of AcMNPV -null virus being rescued by a group II NPV (SpltNPV) (Bac-AcΔPol : Slpol). Viral growth curves and quantitative real-time PCR showed that the replacement reduced the level of viral production and DNA replication of Bac-AcΔPol : SlPol compared with WT, a native insertion in an AcMNPV -null virus. Light microscopy showed that production of occlusion bodies for Bac-AcΔPol : Slpol was reduced. We also identified a nuclear localization signal (NLS) for the SpltNPV DNApol C terminus at residues 827–838 by mutational analysis and confocal microscopy. Multiple point substitution of SpltNPV DNApol NLS abrogated virus production and viral DNA replication. Overall, these data suggested that the NLS plays an important role in SpltNPV DNApol nuclear localization and that SpltNPV DNApol cannot efficiently substitute the AcMNPV DNApol in AcMNPV.
