Abstract excerpt
The ts16 mutation of vaccinia virus WR (R. C. Condit, A. Motyczka, and G. Spizz, Virology 128:429-443, 1983) has been mapped by marker rescue to the I7L open reading frame located within the genomic HindIII I DNA fragment. The I7 gene encodes a 423-amino-acid polypeptide. Thermolabile growth was attributed to an amino acid substitution, Pro-344-->Leu, in the predicted I7 protein. A normal temporal pattern of...
