Abstract
Sequencing demonstrates that the oncogenic regions of a group A strain and a group C strain of herpesvirus saimiri are nonhomologous. A bicistronic viral mRNA from this region is transcribed in tumor cells transformed by a highly oncogenic group C virus. The first open reading frame is homologous to collagen; no such sequences were found in group A or B strains. This is the first report that a virus encodes for sequences similar to those of a connective tissue protein.Entities:
