Studies on Flacherie and Ina-flacherie Viruses of the Silkworm, Bambyx mori II. Some Properties of Polypeptide of Flacherie Virus

가잠의 연화병 바이러스에 관한 연구 II. 연화병 바이러스 Polypeptide의 성상

Purified preparations of flacherie virus capsid protein were fractionated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and amino acid composition was determined by amino acid analyzer. Three polypeptide components, FP I, FP II and FP III were detected, and the molecular weights of these components were 37,500, 30,500 and 26,500 respectively. The FP III was major poly-peptide comprised about 68.4% of the total virus capsid protein. Seventeen amino acids were detected by an amino acid analyzer from hydrolyzate of the virus capsid protein and the pattern of amino acid composition was similar to those of several other insect viruses.

1. 연화병 바이러스의 단백질을 SDS-polyacrylamide gel 전기영동으로 분석한 결과 분자량 37,500(FP I), 30,500(FP II) 및 26,500(FP III)에 상당하는 3종류의 polypeptide가 얻어졌으며, 이들의 비율은 FP I이 6.6%, FPII가 25.0% 및 FP III가 68.4%였다. 2. 연화병 바이러스의 단백질을 amino산 분석을 행한 결과, 17종의 amino산이 분리되었으며, 이 amino산 조성은 타곤충 바이러스의 amino산 조성과 유사하였다.
