Molecular relationships between human parainfluenza virus type 2, and simian viruses 41 and 5: determination of nucleoprotein gene sequences of simian viruses 41 and 5.

The nucleotide sequences of cDNAs of the simian virus 5 (SV5) nucleoprotein ( NP) gene, and the 3' end of the genome and NP gene of SV41 were determined. The open reading frames of the SV5 and SV41 NP genes encode polypeptides with Mrs of 56,582 and 60,575, respectively, values which are consistent with those estimated by SDS-PAGE. The NP of human parainfluenza virus type 2 (hPIV-2) was more closely related to that of SV41 (amino acid sequence identity 70.5%) than that of SV5 (57.0%); the amino acid sequence identity between the NPs of SV41 and SV5 was 63.3%. The sequence of the 3' end of the genome of SV41 showed a high level of similarity to that of hPIV-2, the terminal 18 nucleotides being identical. It is concluded from these findings that SV41 is related most closely to hPIV-2, even though SV5 had been thought to be an animal type of hPIV-2.[1]
