FIG. 5.

Multiple sequence alignment of the p17 and ς1NS proteins. The predicted amino acid sequences of the two ARV p17 proteins (ARV-176 [176]) and ARV-138 [138]) and of the NBV p17 protein (nbv) determined in this study were aligned with the predicted sequences of the p17 protein of a previously sequenced ARV isolate (ARV-Ram1 [ram]) and with the ς1NS protein of mammalian reovirus strain Dearing (mrv) using PILEUP and shaded using BOXSHADE. Identical residues present in three or more of the aligned sequences are indicated by black background shading, and grey shading denotes conservation of similar residues. Dots indicate insertions.
