title: The haemagglutinin-neuraminidase glycoprotein of the porcine paramyxovirus LPMV: comparison with other paramyxoviruses revealed the closest relationship to simian virus 5 and mumps virus.
abstract: The complete nucleotide sequence of the haemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) gene of the porcine paramyxovirus LPMV, was determined from cDNA derived from viral genomic RNA. The gene was 1906 nucleotides long including a putative gene end and poly A signal. One long open reading frame was found encoding a protein of 576 amino acids with a calculated molecular weight of 63,324. The protein contains four potential N-glycosylation sites and a major hydrophobic region near the N-terminal, suggesting a membrane anchor domain. Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence of the LPMV HN protein with that of other paramyxovirus HN proteins, revealed the highest amino acid identity to simian virus 5 of 43% and mumps virus of 41%.
