Sequence of the membrane protein gene from avian coronavirus IBV

MEG Boursnell 1, TDK Brown 1, MM Binns 1
PMCID: PMC7134033  PMID: 6099661

Abstract

cDNA clones prepared from genomic RNA of coronavirus IBV have been sequenced. The nucleotide sequence for the complete 5' region of mRNA C, which is not present in mRNAs A and B, has been determined. A sequence of 1224 bases is presented which contains a long open reading frame predicting a polypeptide of molecular weight 25 443. This is in agreement with the molecular weight of 23 000 reported for the unglycosylated form of the membrane polypeptide.

Keywords: IBV, membrane protein, DNA sequencing
