Polyamines contained by two densonucleosis viruses

D C Kelly, R M Elliott

    Journal of Virology
    |January 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Densonucleosis viruses contain polyamines like spermidine, which neutralize a significant portion of their single-stranded DNA. These polyamines are found in complete virus particles but absent in top components.

    Area of Science:

    • Virology
    • Molecular Biology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Densonucleosis viruses (DNVs) are small, single-stranded DNA viruses.
    • Polyamines are small, positively charged molecules crucial for nucleic acid stabilization.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the presence and role of polyamines in Densonucleosis viruses 1 and 2.
    • To quantify polyamine content and assess their impact on viral DNA neutralization.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of complete DNV particles and their top components.
    • Quantification of polyamine content (putrescine, spermidine, spermine) by weight.
    • Estimation of the neutralizing capacity of polyamines on viral DNA.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Polyamines were detected in complete DNV particles but not in top components.
    • Spermidine was the predominant polyamine, comprising 1.41% of the virus particle weight.
    • The identified polyamine content was sufficient to neutralize 26% of the single-stranded DNA.

    Conclusions:

    • Polyamines are integral components of Densonucleosis virus particles.
    • The presence of polyamines, particularly spermidine, plays a role in neutralizing the viral DNA within the particle.
