a

Protein sequences were obtained from Swiss-Protein database entries and correspond to the VEE (strain TC-83; accession number P05674), Sindbis (strain HRSP; accession number P03316), Semliki Forest (accession number P03315), Ross River (strain NB5092; accession number P13890), and Aura (accession number Q86925) viruses. 

b

These values represent percent amino acid identify from separate best-fit pairwise alignments (W. Pearson, www.ch.embnet.org/software/LALIGN_form.html) of the E1, E2, and E3 proteins. 

c

These values represent percent amino acid identify from separate best-fit pairwise alignments (W. Pearson, www.ch.embnet.org/software/LALIGN_form.html) of the CNR (residues 1 to ∼115), CCD, and the complete capsid protein.
