Phylogeny, G + C content and promoter region analyses of the betabaculovirus-encoded gp64 homolog, disa118. a The DisaGV homolog is related to DekiNPV. The maximum likelihood (ML) tree was inferred using the predicted amino acid sequence of all the betabaculovirus GP64 (pink), several publicly available Group 1 alphabaculovirus genes (blue), and thogotovirus genes (orange). We performed the RaxML method under the WAG + I + G model with a nonparametric bootstrap for phylogeny reconstruction. Thogotoviruses root the tree that is presented here as a cladogram. b Comparison of the G + C content average for the third position of the translational codon in the gp64 genes from all Group 1 Alphabaculovirus (G1-α) and DisaGV. The comparison suggests that disa118 underwent an adjustment for the low G + C content characteristic of betabaculoviruses. c Annotation of 110 bp long from the disa118 promoter region. The elements and motifs shown were identified based on previously published analyses of alphabaculovirus genomes
