title: Amino acid sequence of the rabies virus glycoprotein deduced from its cloned gene.
abstract: Double-stranded complementary DNA was synthesized from rabies virus-specific glycoprotein mRNA and inserted into the Pst I site of pBR322. The glycoprotein inserted sequence contains approximately 1.75 kilobase pairs and lacks only approximately 35 nucleotides from the 5' terminus of the glycoprotein mRNA. The nucleotide sequence indicates a polypeptide of 524 amino acids beginning with an initiation codon ATG and ending with a termination of codon TGA. The first 19 amino acids make up a signal peptide preceding the sequence lys-phe-pro-ile-tyr-thr- which has been identified by the N-terminal analysis of amino acids of the purified rabies virus glycoprotein.
