Codon usage is a reflection of evolutionary adaptation to environmental pressure. The pattern of usage may be unique to species of viruses, genomes of the same species or genes within the same genome. Here we have analysed the overall nucleotide composition and the nucleotides at different codon positions in the genomes of 6 Alphabaculoviruses. Principle Component Analysis (PCA) based on Relative Synonymous Codon Usage (RSCU) of all Open Reading Frames (ORFs) was employed to investigate the pattern of the codon usage. The results suggest the Alphabaculovirus genomes, except that of Agrotis Ipsilon mNPV (AgipNPV), are predominantly under an influence of a neutral mutation that bias toward A/T. The majority of the ORFs, except those of the AgipNPV, cluster at the same location in the 2-dimensional PCA map with one prominent outlier that has been identified as a P6.9 gene. The six Alpha-baculovirus P6.9 genes have a high G/C content, dissimilar to the majority of the ORFs. The G/C content is found to be significantly high at the 2 nd codon position, suggesting the influence of natural selection and perhaps reflecting its functional conservation in DNA packaging as well as its evolutionary relation to Protamine.
