title: [Primary structure of the F-gene from Rinderpest virus strain K].
abstract: Synthesis, cDNA cloning, and nucleotide sequencing of F gene of rinderpest virus strain K was carried out. Analysis of nucleotide sequence showed the only open reading frame coding for protein from 546 a.o. with mol. weight 58.6 kDa. The mean percentage of identical nucleotide residues between F genes of strains K, Kabete O, and L is 76.4% for 5'-untranslated region and 90.5% for translated region, the share of similar amino acid residues in the respective proteins is 92.9%. The structure of restriction site of F0 precursor protein in rinderpest strains with different virulence is similar. Protein F of rinderpest virus strain K has 3 potential glycosylation sites and 13 cystein residues in positions identical to those of F protein of rinderpest strains Kabete O and L.
