Abstract excerpt
The initial characterization of the product of the vaccinia virus G5R gene, which is conserved in all poxviruses sequenced to date, is described. The G5 protein was detected in the core fraction of purified virions, and transcription and translation of the G5R open reading frame occurred early in infection, independently of DNA replication. Attempts to delete the G5R gene and isolate a replication-competent virus...
