Fig. 1 — (A) Translation of the highly conserved stem-loop-II-like nucleotide sequence (in shaded box) region of sheep astrovirus in three frames (1, 2 and 3) at the boundary of ORF2/3′UTR. The amino acid motif SRGHAE, which is thought to be a characteristic amino acid sequence at the carboxy-terminal end of the ORF2 (capsid) region of astroviruses, is translated in a different reading frame (frame 3) in sheep astrovirus. The predicted coding sequence is represented in frame 1. (B) Predicted RNA secondary structure of the stem-loop-II-like nucleotide sequence of sheep astrovirus as determined using the Mfold program. The position of the predicted stop codon (TGA) is indicated by shaded boxes.
