Cotesia plutellae (Braconidae: Hymenoptera) is a solitary endoparasitoid wasp that parasitizes the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) (Yponomeutidae: Lepidoptera). For successful parasitization, its symbiotic polydnavirus (CpBV) helps the wasps to attenuate host immune capacity and manipulate host developmental physiology. An analysis of CpBV genome sequence indicated the presence of one putative gene (CpBV-H4) showing a high similarity to histone H4. Histone H4, one of the four histone subunits along with H2A, H2B and H3, forms an eukaryotic nucleosome core. Along with H3, it plays a ...
