Abstract excerpt
Genes and proteins of the kelch superfamily were structurally analyzed in the smallpox (SPV), monkeypox (MPV), cowpox (CPV), and vaccinia (VV) viruses. Genes potentially coding for the kelch-like proteins were found only in the variable terminal regions of the orthopoxvirus genome. The set and sizes of their protein products varied with species. All genes of the superfamily proved to be disrupted by mutations in...
