Molecular cloning of a full-length cDNA encoding the hemagglutinin-neuraminidase glycoprotein of Sendai virus
Abstract
We cloned a full-length complementary DNA for the hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) mRNA of Sendai virus (HVJ) using a synthetic 27-mer as a probe. Nucleotide sequence analysis showed that there is a long open reading frame on the mRNA that encodes a protein of 575 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence indicated that only one hydrophobic region sufficiently long to anchor the protein in the membrane and located near the N-terminus (amino acids 35-60). It is suggested that HN protein is oriented with its N-terminus inside the membrane.
