^aPredicted length of primary sequence, counting from the first ATG codon.

^bPredicted functions are those published for the homologous HSV-1 ORFs (reviewed in reference 39).

^cU_L26 homology is restricted to the N-terminal 250 predicted amino acid residues.

^d—, no significant similarity between the predicted amino acid sequences was found by pairwise BLAST. Blank space means comparative sequence data were not available.
