摘要

The polydnavirus of Campoletis sonorensis has evolved with an unusual life cycle in which the virus exists as an obligate symbiont with the parasite insect and causes significant physiological and developmental alterations in the parasite's host. The segmented polydnavirus genome consists of double-stranded superhelical molecules; each segment is apparently integrated into the chromosomal DNA of each male and female wasp. The virus replicates in the nucleus of calyx cells and is secreted into the oviduct. When the virus is transferred to the host insect during oviposition, gene expression induces host immunosuppression and developmental arrest, which ensures successful development of the immature endoparasite. In the host, polydnavirus expression is detected by 2 hr and during endoparasite development. Most of the abundantly expressed viral genes expressed very early after parasitization belong to multigene families. Among these families, the "cysteine-rich" gene family is the most studied, and it may be important in inducing host manifestations resulting in parasite survival. This gene family is characterized by a similar gene structure with introns at comparable positions within the 5' untranslated sequence and just 5' to a specific cysteine codon (*C) within a cysteine motif, C-*C-CC-C-C. Another unusual feature is that the nucleotide sequences of introns 2 in the subfamily WHv1.0/WHv1.6 are more conserved than those of the flanking exons. The structures of these viral genes and possible functions for their encoded protein are considered within the context of their endoparasite and virus strategy for genetic adaptation and successful parasitization.
