Sequence comparisons for the major (L1, VP1) and minor (L2, VP2/VP3) capsid proteins of papovaviruses obtained by use of the program GAP (Genetics Computer Group, Madison, Wisconsin)

	Sequence comparison
	HPV-1 L1	BPV-1 L1	SV40 VP1
CRPV L1	58 (75)	48 (67)	19 (42)
HPV-1 L1		48 (69)	16 (37)
BPV-1 L1			17 (39)

	L2	L2	VP2/VP3
CRPV L2	42 (61)	27 (47)	18 (41)
HPV-1 L2		30 (52)	19 (41)
BPV-1 L2			18 (41)

The percentage of identical (left) and similar (in parentheses) residues is given for several L1–L1, L1–VP1, L2–L2, and L2–VP2/VP3 comparisons. Correlation of L1 sequences to random sequences the same length as VP1 gave an identity of 14 to 16% and a similarity of 40 to 42%.
