Figure 7.
Sequence alignment of the US9 protein homologs of HSV-1(F), HSV-2(G), simian B virus, equine herpes viruses 1 and 4, bovine herpes virus 1, and feline herpes virus 1, simian varicella, varicella-zoster, and pseudorabies viruses generated by the lineup and pretty programs of the Genetics Computer Group software. The last line shows the consensus sequence. Residues conserved among at least five of the sequences are shown as capitalized letters, whereas those conserved among at least seven of the sequences are shown as bold letters. Dots indicate gaps inserted by the program to create the best alignment.
