<i>Autographa californica</i> Multiple Nucleopolyhedrovirus EXON0 (ORF141) Is Required for Efficient Egress of Nucleocapsids from the Nucleus
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) exon0 (orf141) has been shown to be required for the efficient production of budded virus (BV). The deletion of exon0 reduces the level of BV production by up to 99% (X. Dai, T. M. Stewart, J. A. Pathakamuri, Q. Li, and D. A. Theilmann, J. Virol. 78:9633-9644, 2004); however, the function or mechanism by which EXON0 affects BV production is unknown. In this study, we further elucidated the function of EXON0 by investigating the localization of EXON0 in infected Sf9 cells and in virions and by identifying interactions between EXON0 and other viral proteins. In addition, electron microscopy was used to study the cellular localization of nucleocapsids in cells transfected with an exon0 knockout (KO) virus. The results showed that EXON0 was localized to both the cytoplasm and the nuclei of infected Sf9 cells throughout the infection. Western blotting results also showed that EXON0 was purified along with BV and occlusion-derived virus (ODV). The fractionation of BV into the nucleocapsid and envelope components showed that EXON0 localized to the BV nucleocapsid. Yeast two-hybrid screening, coimmunoprecipitation, and confocal microscopy revealed that it interacted with nucleocapsid proteins FP25 and BV/ODV-C42. Cells transfected with the exon0 KO virus exhibited normally appearing nucleocapsids in the nuclei in numbers equal to those in the nuclei of cells transfected with the EXON0 repaired virus. In contrast, the numbers of nucleocapsids in the cytoplasm of cells transfected with the exon0 KO virus were significantly lower than those in the cytoplasm of cells transfected with the repaired virus. These results support the conclusion that EXON0 is required in the BV pathway for the efficient egress of nucleocapsids from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
