Fig 1. Schematic representation of viruses, cells and recombinant P143 proteins used in this study.

Fig 1

(A) BmNPV replicates in B. mori (BmN) cells but does not in S. frugiperda (Sf9) cells, while AcMNPV replicates in S. frugiperda cells but does not in B. mori cells. The AcMNPV recombinant virus (eh2-AcMNPV), in which the host range-specificity region of AcP143 is replaced with the corresponding BmP143 sequence (BmScH), replicates in both B. mori cells and S. frugiperda cells. (B and C) The fusion proteins of GFP and P143 recombinant proteins were expressed in virally infected insect cells under the control of the authentic BmP143 promoter (B) or under the control of the DmHSP70 promoter (C).
