Abstract
Apoptosis and inhibition of host gene expression are often associated with virus infections. Many viral polypeptides modulate apoptosis by direct interaction with highly conserved apoptotic pathways. Some viruses induce apoptosis during late stages of the infection cycle, while others inhibit apoptosis to facilitate replication or maintain persistent infection. In previous work, we showed that Chilo iridescent virus (CIV) or CIV virion protein extract induces apoptosis in spruce budworm and cotton boll weevil cell cultures. Here, we characterize the product of a CIV gene (iridovirus serine/threonine kinase; istk) with signature sequences for S/T kinase and ATP binding. ISTK appears to belong to the superfamily, vaccinia-related kinases (VRKs). The istk gene was expressed in Pichia pastoris vectors. Purified ISTK (48 kDa) exhibited S/T kinase activity. Treatment with ISTK induced apoptosis in budworm cells. A 35-kDa cleavage product of ISTK retaining key signature sequences was identified during purification. Pichia-expressed 35-kDa polypeptide, designated iridoptin, induced apoptosis and inhibition of host protein synthesis in budworm and boll weevil cells. A mutation in the ATP-binding site eliminated both kinase and apoptosis activity of iridoptin, suggesting that kinase activity is essential for induction of apoptosis. Analysis with custom antibody confirmed that ISTK is a structural component of CIV particles. This is the first demonstration of a viral kinase inducing apoptosis in any virus-host system and the first identification of a factor inducing apoptosis or host protein shutoff for the family Iridoviridae.

Abstract
Iridescent virus type 6 was found to contain an endogenous protein kinase activity which can phosphorylate some viral proteins and exogenous basic proteins. The enzyme required a divalent metal ion but was not stimulated by cyclic nucleotides. Procedures which are known to solubilize the viral envelope indicated that the protein kinase was an internal component of the virion. Conditions for protein kinase activity are described.

Abstract
The corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis, is a very important pest in different countries, and the in vitro system of the insect could be a useful tool for isolation and characterization of the pathogens and physiological responses of the insect. In this context, a cell line was derived from the hemocytes of the European corn borer and was named AFKM-On-H for, respectively, O. nubilalis, Armand Frappier, King Mongkut Institutes, and Hemocytes. This cell line was initiated and maintained in Ex-Cell 400 medium supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum. The cells, mostly spherical in shape, not firmly attached to the plastic culture flasks, were passaged up to 200 times by repeated gentle pipetting of the cells. The doubling times at the 80th and 125th passages at 28 degrees C and at the 122th and 169th passages at 25 degrees C were 40, 29, 35, and 34 h, respectively. The AFKM-On-H cell line was further characterized by the morphology, karyotype, random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis, and isozyme profiles. Susceptibility of the cell line to cytoplasmic polyhedrosis viruses (CPV) Euxoa scandens (EsCPV), Dendrolimus punctatus (DpCPV), and Choristoneura fumiferana (CfCPV); nuclear polyhedrosis viruses [Autographa californica (AcMNPV) wild type and recombinant, Antherea yammamai (AnyaNPV)]; and Chilo iridescent virus was demonstrated. Relative sensitivities of the cell line to Bacillus thuringiensis and Metarhizium anisopliae toxins and effects of the molting hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone on this new hemocyte cell line were characterized.

Abstract
Chilo iridescent virus (CIV; IIV-6) is the type member of the genus Iridovirus (family Iridoviridae, large icosahedral cytoplasmic DNA viruses). CIV induces death and deformity in the cotton boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis, replicates productively in larvae of the cotton boll weevil, and significantly reduces laboratory populations of the cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii. CIV virion protein extract (CVPE) shuts down host protein synthesis in several insect cell lines and induces mortality in neonate boll weevil larvae. We report here that CVPE induces apoptosis in spruce budworm and boll weevil cell lines, as detected by blebbing, DNA fragmentation, and TUNEL assay. Tissue culture toxicity dose assays (TCTD(50)) showed that spruce budworm cells were eight times more sensitive to CVPE than boll weevil cells. Pancaspase inhibitor suppressed apoptosis but had marginal effect on inhibition of host protein synthesis. Moreover, the CVPE dose for apoptosis was 1000-fold lower than the dose for shutdown of host synthesis. We also detected protein kinase activity in CVPE. Heating CVPE at 60 degrees C for 30 min destroyed all three activities. Our results suggest that one or more polypeptides in CIV induce apoptosis. This is the first study demonstrating apoptosis induction by a member of the genus Iridovirus and by virion extracts of a member of the family Iridoviridae.

Abstract
Red sea bream iridovirus (RSIV) is a causative agent of red sea bream iridoviral disease (RSIVD) in marine fish species in Japan. Fibroblast cells were developed from a tail fin of red sea bream, Pagrus major, and then underwent single cell cloning. The successful cloned cells were named CRF-1 cells. Most CRF-1 cells had a normal diploid karyotype with 2n=48 by chromosomal analysis. RSIV-infected CRF-1 cells showed typical morphological changes that were associated with apoptosis by EGFP-annexin V staining. The serial viral passages were successful in CRF-1 cells but failed in BF-2 cells as judged by MTT assay. The expression of three genes obviously decreased in BF-2 cells compared with CRF-1 cells and finally was below detectable level. Because the expression of 591R gene showed the fastest decrease among three transcripts, the suppression of IE transcript may be responsible for the restricted replication in BF-2 cells. MCP and ATPase phylogenetic trees showed that RSIV strain U-1 belongs to a distinct group from RSIV strain ehime-1. Therefore, possibly recent epizootics of RSIVD in Japan do not originate directly from RSIV strain ehime-1. Taken together, this study confirmed that RSIV strain U-1 is more closely related to Korean RSIV isolates.

Abstract
Red sea bream iridovirus (RSIV) of the Iridoviridae family is a causative agent of lethal infections in many cultured marine fish species in southwestern Japan. RSIV-induced apoptosis was divided as follows: (1). cell shrinkage and rounding at the early apoptotic stage, (2). cell enlargement at the middle apoptotic stage, (3). formation of apoptotic body-like vesicles at the late apoptotic stage and phagocytosis by neighboring cells, and (4). loss of membrane integrity in apoptotic body-like vesicles without phagocytosis by neighboring cells. By affinity labeling, RSIV-induced apoptosis included caspase-dependent apoptosis. RSIV infection caused cell rounding but not cell enlargement or formation of apoptotic body-like vesicles and further restricted part of the structural protein synthesis in the presence of caspase-3 and -6 inhibitors. These findings showed the involvement of caspase-3 and -6 in the morphological changes at the middle and late apoptotic stages and viral protein synthesis in the late stage of RSIV infection.

Abstract
A plaque assay was developed for the study of Tipula iridescent virus (TIV) replication using a cell line derived from the fall army worm Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9). Infection and plaque formation were monitored with time by phase contrast microscopy, video and fluorescent light microscopy. Structure of virions, viroplasmic centres and organelles of infected cells were examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). After 4 h postinfection, plaques were visibly detected within the cell monolayer by the presence of localized cell damage and production of numerous vesicular-like cytoplasmic structures. Quantitation of virions present per A260 unit of TIV preparation was determined by TEM. The number of visible plaques corresponded to virus concentration and 1 A260 produced approximately 10(5) plaques. DNA hybridization analysis revealed no gross differences in genomic DNA from TIV propagated in either Sf9 cells or wax moth Galleria mellonella larvae. These findings indicate that Sf9 is permissive for replication of TIV and superior by some parameters to other cell lines currently in use for the study of host cell/TIV interactions.

Abstract
Comparative studies were carried out using two different insect cell lines, Aedes albopictus and Estigmene acrea, for Tipula iridescent virus (TIV) propagation. Light microscope autoradiography showed viral DNA present in viroplasmic centers (VCs) and an inhibition of nuclear DNA synthesis. These VCs appeared to be morphologically similar in both cell lines when examined by light and electron microscopy. Radiolabeled cDNA was synthesized from RNA samples obtained from infected cells at different times after infection and hybridized to TIV DNA digested with various restriction endonucleases. The results indicated that the pattern of transcription and the kinetics of TIV infection were qualitatively similar in both cell lines. The major TIV DNA components, L (greater than 174 kbp) and S1 (10.8 kbp) that are found in virions in approximately equivalent amounts, were made in both infected cell lines. However, the infected cell lines produced S1 DNA at higher levels relative to L than in virions. The cDNA hybridization studies also revealed that the S1 DNA has sequences that are transcribed and are TIV specific. While VC morphology, levels of L and S1 DNA synthesis, transcription, and capsid protein synthesis were similar in both cell lines, time course electron microscope studies revealed that progeny virions were detected only in the VCs of E. acrea cells and not in the VCs of A. albopictus cells, even by 96 hr p.i. These data suggest that the A. albopictus C6/36 cell line is semipermissive for TIV replication.

Abstract
Treatment of CIV particles with octylglucoside at high ionic strength leads to the solubilization of the inner viral membrane. Incubation of permissive cells (Cf124 cells) with vesicles obtained after dialysis of the detergent shows that this fraction is infectious. This infectivity, which is very low, could only be detected after two serial passages on permissive cells. This phenomenon is, however, reproducible. Isopycnic centrifugation analysis shows that some DNA cosediments with the vesicles. Extraction and purification of this DNA confirm the presence of a large DNA fragment of about 50.10(6) Da. Digestion with restriction endonucleases demonstrated that this DNA did not correspond to a particular fragment but to a population of DNA fragments of homogeneous size arising from various regions of the viral genome. Purified viral DNA was not infectious, the presence of DNA in the vesicles could not account therefore for their infectivity. Experiments of non-genetic reactivation of purified CIV DNA by UV-irradiated virus suggest that one (or several) structural component(s) of CIV particles must be involved in the first stages of the viral replication cycle. In addition, transfection of cells with large overlapping DNA fragments could generate infectious particles when the cells were superinfected with UV-irradiated virus. It can be supposed that the vesicle suspensions, which probably contain the reactivating factor, are composed of a population of vesicles which are all different in their DNA content. Infectivity of such suspensions would be the consequence of a recombination between large overlapping DNA fragments.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies (McAbs) obtained against Iridovirus type 6 (CIV) were characterized by Western blotting and/or immunoprecipitation. Seven McAbs were found to be strongly reactive with viral polypeptides of molecular weights 16 K and 18 K by Western blotting. Two McAbs were directed against a complex composed of 30 K, 50 K, and 100 K polypeptides, but failed to react with either of these free polypeptides. This finding could explain the faint reactivity of these McAbs in Western blotting and immunoprecipitation. The reactivity of the other McAbs with their antigenic determinants is also discussed.

Abstract
Mouse hybridomas producing antibodies against proteins of Chilo Iridescent Virus were established by fusions of X 63-Ag 8-653 myeloma cells with spleen cells from balb/c mice immunized with purified disrupted viral particles. Forty monoclonal antibodies to CIV proteins have been characterized. By ELISA, 4 categories of monoclonal antibodies were defined according to their ability to react with some selected viral protein fractions used as antigen. In preliminary studies, the specificity of 2 monoclonal antibodies for some viral polypeptides was determined by immunoblotting.

Abstract
The Chilo Iridescent Virus (CIV) is a lipid-containing virus propagated in vitro in choristoneura fumiferana cell cultures. We have analysed the individual lipids of the viral membrane which appeared interesting in their relative amounts and mainly in the high proportion of phosphatidylinositol. This fraction represented about 27 per cent of the phospholipid extract. The lipid composition of the viral membrane was unchanged whether the virus was propagated in vivo in larvae or in vitro in invertebrate cell cultures and was clearly different from that of the hosts.
