High impact information on bro-a

We propose that BRO-A and BRO-C may function as DNA binding proteins that influence host DNA replication and/or transcription [1].
We have recently reported that BmNPV BRO proteins, specially BRO-A and BRO-C, contain a nucleic acid binding activity and are involved in nucleosome structures in nuclei of infected cells [2].
Taken together, we propose that BRO-A may function as a laminin binding protein [2].
In addition, two more clones were obtained from cDNA library of 12 h p.i. and were found to encode BRO-A itself, indicating that BRO-A forms an oligomer [2].
