FIG. 1.

bro gene family in baculoviruses and alignment of BROs. (A) Presence of the bro family in various baculoviruses. The maps show the genome organization of bro genes in various baculoviruses. The arrowheads denote the direction of transcription. Baculoviruses aligned was as follows. Ac, AcNPV; Bm, BmNPV; Op, OpNPV; Ld, LdNPV; Xc, XcGV. (B) Alignment of amino acid sequences of BmNPV BROs and AcNPV BRO (accession no. L22858). The alignment was conducted with the Clustal X program and modified by using Boxshade. The alignment of three or more identical amino acids is indicated by white letters within black boxes, and three or more similar residues are shown in shaded boxes. Dashes indicate gaps.
