Regulation of expression of three genes in the polyhedron
envelope protein (PEP) gene region of the Orgyia pseudotsugata
multinucleocapsid nuclear polyhedrosis virus (OpMNPV) was
examined. These genes include open reading frame (ORF) 1 (encoding
p21), ORF 2 (encoding gp16), and ORF 3 (encoding the polyhedron
envelope protein). The effect of...
