Biochemical properties of avian type-C virus gag gene-coded proteins: Comparison with structural proteins coded for at analogous positions within the mammalian type-C viral genome

The biochemical properties of avian type-C viral gag gene-coded proteins of 27,000 (p27), 19,000 (p19), 15,000 (p15), and 12,000 (p12) molecular weight were examined. These properties were compared to those obtained by a similar analysis of mammalian type-C viral structural proteins. The results ind...

Zusammenfassung:The biochemical properties of avian type-C viral gag gene-coded proteins of 27,000 (p27), 19,000 (p19), 15,000 (p15), and 12,000 (p12) molecular weight were examined. These properties were compared to those obtained by a similar analysis of mammalian type-C viral structural proteins. The results indicate striking similarities between proteins mapping at corresponding positions within the respective genomes of the two groups of viruses and thus raise the possibility that these viruses may be evolutionarily related.
