Abstract
Among 54 transcripts expressed in a temporal cascade during lytic infection with bovine herpesvirus 1, we have previously identified three major immediate-early (IE) RNAs, IER4.2 (4.2 kb), IER2.9 (2.9 kb), and IER1.7 (1.6 to 1.8 kb depending on the virus strain) transcribed from the HindIII C genome region (U. V. Wirth, K. Gunkel, M. Engels, and M. Schwyzer, J. Virol. 63:4882-4889, 1989). Northern (RNA) blot, S1 nuclease protection, and primer extension analysis used in the present study demonstrated that all three IE transcripts were spliced and originated from two divergent transcription units with start sites located in the inverted repeat. Transcription unit 1 encoded two alternative spliced transcripts, IER4.2 and IER2.9, with a common exon 1 located at 0.797 to 0.795 map units (m.u.) and an exon 2 for IER4.2 (0.792 to 0.762 m.u.) in the inverted repeat; exon 2 for IER2.9 (0.754 to 0.738 m.u.) was located in the unique long sequence and transcribed in antisense orientation to latency-related RNA. Transcription unit 2 (0.818 to 0.836 m.u.), further characterized by cDNA cloning, encoded the spliced IER1.7 with three exons in the inverted repeat. Additional minor IE transcripts were interpreted as unspliced precursors and splicing variants. With regard to the number and layout of IE genes, bovine herpesvirus 1 occupies an intermediate position between pseudorabies virus and equine herpesvirus 1 on the one hand and varicella-zoster virus and herpes simplex virus type 1 on the other.
