Defective interfering particles (DIPs) of equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1) are biologically active, in that they mediate the coestablishment of oncogenic transformation and persistent infection in permissive, primary hamster embryo fibroblasts. The DIP genome is composed of EHV-1 sequences originating from the L-terminus (mapping units (m.u.) 0.00–0.023), the junction of the unique long (UL) region and the internal inverted repeat (IR) (m.u. 0.78–0.79 and 0.99–1.00), and the central portion of the IR (m. u. 0.83–0.87 and 0.91–0.95). The nature of one of the genes (UL1) mapping at the L-terminus was analyzed at the RNA level by Northern blot hybridization and S1 nuclease analyses. These data, and DNA sequencing analyses reported previously revealed that the UL1 gene: (1) contains a major open reading frame (ORF) of 258 amino acids, (2) is a homologue of the ORF2 gene of varicella zoster virus (VZV), (3) is conserved in the genome of DIPs of EHV-1, (4) encodes a 1.2-kb early (E) mRNA that is transcribed toward the short region of the genome, (5) utilizes a transcription initiation site approximately 1120 nucleotides from the L-terminus, and (6) utilizes a transcription termination site approximately 2211 nucleotides from the L-terminus. These initial studies serve as the basis of future work to determine the dunction of the UL1 gene in cytolytic infection, and its potential role in EHV-1 persistent infection.
