Figure 1From: The dUTPase-related gene of bovine immunodeficiency virus is critical for viral replication, despite the lack of dUTPase activity of the encoded proteinMultiple amino acids sequence alignments of dUTPase proteins in different non-primate lentiviruses. The sequence information was taken from The National Center for Biotechnology Information (EIAV dUTPase GI: 157830894; FIV dUTPase GI: 1942421; Visna Virus dUTPase GI:9626549; BIV dUTPase GI: 9626219; CAEV dUTPase GI: 266706151; Jembrana (JDV) dUTPase GI:733067). The figure was prepared using the T-COFFEE alignment tool (Version_9.03.r1318) [16, 17]. The locations of five conserved dUTPase motifs are underlined and numbered. A. Sequence alignments of non-primate lentiviruses dUTPase-encoding genes. B. BIV dUTPase versus EIAV dUTPase. The conserved mutated BIV dUTPase residues (D48E/N57S) and the Δ36 deletion mutation are marked above the sequences.Back to article page
