Abstract

DNA sequences complementary to the double-stranded RNA coding for the neutralization antigen (glycoprotein VP7) of simian rotavirus SA11 have been cloned. The VP7 gene consists of 1,062 nucleotides, containing an uninterrupted coding sequence of 978 nucleotides which specifies a glycoprotein of 326 amino acids. The significance of a second possible initiation site 30 nucleotides downstream from the first is discussed. Partial amino acid sequence of this glycoprotein showed unequivocally that the cloned segment (segment 9) codes for glycoprotein VP7 of SA11. The resulting amino acid sequence contained only one carbohydrate acceptor site. Possible sites of membrane interaction and antigenic determinants are discussed based on the analysis of the hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity profiles of VP7.
