Tryptic Peptides of the Polyhedrin of the Melacosoma neustria Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus

Summary

    The polyhedrin of the M. neustria nuclear polyhedrosis virus (NPV) was reduced and carboxymethylated and subjected to tryptic digestion was separated by gel filtration and paper high-voltage electrophoresis and chromatography. 48 peptides were isolated and the structure or amino acid composition of them was determined. 30 peptides have non-overlapping sequences comparising 246 amino acid residues. The peculiarities of the interaction of the M. neustria NPV polyhedral protease with the polyhedrin of that are discussed.
