Volume 80, no. 1, p. 85-94, 2006. Page 86: We have recently realized that a protein sequence alignment comparing the B2 proteins of greasy grouper nervous necrosis virus (GGNNV) and flock house virus (FHV) is erroneous. The FHV sequence used in the article was not that of B2 but rather the frameshifted B1 protein. We have corrected the alignment using the FHV B2 sequence. Our conclusions regarding the low level of sequence similarity between the two proteins remain unchanged. The updated Fig. 1 and legend are shown below.

FIG. 1.

Amino acid sequences derived from previously published sequences (9, 16, 28) were aligned by using ClustalW, yielding sequence identities of 10.2 and 6.6% and similarities of 13.9 and 16.0% to NoV and FHV, respectively.
