FIG 8.
Allele-specific amino acid changes in DC RV proteins. (A) Schematic showing red versus cyan VP4 (residues 101 to 140) as an example of the strategy used to identify allele-specific changes (arrows). (B to M) Positions with both complete intra-allelic amino acid conservation and complete interallelic amino acid variations were quantitated and are shown in the matrices. The total length of each protein in amino acids (aa) is shown above the corresponding matrix. For VP7, the G1A and G1B alleles were also compared to genotype G3 and G4 proteins. The gray boxes indicate that no allele-specific changes were identified.
