The role of the Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) immediate-early protein IE0 in the baculloviral infection is not clear. In this study, we constructed the recombinant virus vAc Delta ie0 null for ie0 expression by targeted mutagenesis replacing exon0 with the cat gene. We found that vAc Delta ie0 replicated efficiently in Spodoptera littoralis SL2 cells, which are poorly permissive for AcMNPV. In contrast, in Spodoptera frugiperda SF9 cells, which are fully permissive for AcMNPV, vAc Delta ie0 DNA replication and budded virus production were delayed. These results and recently published data (X. Dai et al., J. Virol. 78:9633-9644,2004) indicate that ie0 is not essential for AcMNPV replication but enhances it in permissive SF9 cells.
