Alcelaphine herpesvirus type 1 has a semaphorin-like gene

J Gen Virol. 1995 Apr:76 ( Pt 4):1063-7. doi: 10.1099/0022-1317-76-4-1063.

Abstract

Alcelaphine herpesvirus type 1, a rhadinovirus causing malignant catarrhal fever of ruminants, has an 1959 nucleotide open reading frame with significant homologies to semaphorin genes. While truncated genes of similar structure have been found in poxviruses, this is the first known example of a semaphorin-like gene in a herpesvirus.
