The nucleotide sequence of the glycoprotein B (gB) homologous gene of feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1) was determined. The gene was found to be located within a 9.6 kbp SalI fragment by Southern-blot hybridization with a probe derived from the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) gB DNA sequence. Furthermore, the predominant portion of the coding sequences was mapped to a 1.9 kbp Hin cII-EcoRI and its flanking 2.7 kbp Eco RI-Eco RI subfragments in the 9.6 kbp SalI fragment. The entire nucleotide sequence revealed that the FHV-1 gB homologous gene is capable of encoding a polypeptide of 948 amino acids. The predicted precursor polypeptide derived from this open reading frame could have a calculated M(r) of 106 kDa in unglycosylated form and contains ten potential N-linked glycosylation sites and a probable internal proteolytic cleavage site. By Northern-blot analysis using portions of the open reading frame as a probe, 3.9 and 3.3 kb RNA transcripts were identified in FHV-1 infected cells. The alignment of the amino acid sequence of the FHV-1 gB homologue with those of 14 other herpesviruses revealed that 10 cysteine residues were completely conserved. Meanwhile, when evolutionary trees were generated among these herpesvirus gB counterparts, the FHV-1 gB homologous nucleotide sequence seems to be closely related to equine herpesvirus type 4 and its amino acid sequence to pseudorabies virus.

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
