Sequence analysis of the large (L) protein of simian virus 5.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The complete nucleotide sequence of the large (L) protein gene of simian virus 5 (SV5) was determined from cDNA of the genomic RNA and mRNA, and found to be 6804 bases in length, exclusive of a poly(A) tract. The sequence contained an open reading frame of 6765 nucleotides encoding 2255 amino acids. Results of dot matrix comparisons of the L protein of SV5 with those of human parainfluenza type 3 virus and Sendai virus indicated that there are five conserved domains, and that each domain contains characteristic sequence(s). The L protein of SV5 was detected in purified virions using antiserum directed against an oligopeptide corresponding to the N-terminal region.

Background: Bovine leukaemia virus (BLV) is the primary cause of enzootic bovine leukaemia which belongs to the HTLV/BLV group of oncogenic retroviruses including Human T-cell leukaemia virus types 1, 2, and 3 and simian T-lymphotropic virus. Due to daily consumption of milk, meat and other dairy by-products, a possible role in appearing human cancers can be assumed for BLV. Materials and Metho...

Background and Aims: Since 1998, Iranian poultry industry has been affected by avian influenza (AI) virus, subtype H9N2. The association of high mortality and case report of H5N1 and H9N2 influenza virus in wild birds in recent years raised the suspicion of a possible new genetic modified AI virus. Methods: Partial nucleotide sequences and deduced amino acid of hemagglutinin (HA) genes of 4 H9...

The complete nucleotide sequence of the simian virus 41 (SV41) large (L) protein gene was determined. The L gene spanned 6883 nucleotides including a putative trailer RNA, and the L mRNA contained a single large open reading frame encoding a polypeptide of 2269 amino acids. Dot-matrix comparisons under stringent conditions identified domains highly conserved among paramyxoviruses. Domain 3 is t...
