Sendai virus NP gene codes for a 524 amino acid NP protein

W J Neubert et al. Virus Genes. 1991 Jan.

Abstract

The complete nucleoprotein (NP) gene sequences of the Sendai virus Fushimi and 6/94 strains were determined. For both viruses an open reading frame of 524 amino acids can be predicted for the NP proteins. By comparing the sequences with others reported in the literature, the 5' noncoding region and the middle third of the coding region were found to be highly conserved. The carboxyl terminal part carries nine amino acid changes and a completely different sequence of the carboxyl terminus with a seven amino acid extension. This carboxyl terminus of the Sendai virus NP protein was confirmed using tryptic peptide sequence analysis.
