Subgenomic RNA sequence of human astrovirus supports classification of Astroviridae as a new family of RNA viruses
1 Jun 1993
Abstract excerpt
We report the sequence of the subgenomic RNA of human astrovirus serotype 2. This 2,484-nucleotide RNA contains a single open reading frame, which encodes a protein with a predicted molecular mass of 88 kDa. We propose that this protein is the 90-kDa capsid precursor observed in infected cells. The deduced protein sequence does not contain conserved amino acid patterns reported for the capsid proteins of...
