The complete nucleic acid sequence of gene 3 from epizootic hemorrhagic disease of deer (EHD) virus serotype 1 was determined. The 2768 bp sequence encodes a single protein that contains 899 amino acids and has a molecular weight of 103 kDa. The predicted protein sequence has 94.7% identity with EHD virus serotype 2 and greater than 77% identity with the related bluetongue viruses serotypes 1, 10 and 17 VP3 proteins. The relevance of these data to studies of recombinant DNA diagnostics and genetic relatedness is discussed.

D001820 Bluetongue virus The type species of ORBIVIRUS causing a serious disease in sheep, especially lambs. It may also infect wild ruminants and other domestic animals. Ovine Catarrhal Fever Virus,Blue Tongue Virus,Blue Tongue Viruses,Bluetongue Viruses
D002213 Capsid The outer protein protective shell of a virus, which protects the viral nucleic acid. Capsids are composed of repeating units (capsomers or capsomeres) of CAPSID PROTEINS which when assembled together form either an icosahedral or helical shape.

D016415 Sequence Alignment The arrangement of two or more amino acid or base sequences from an organism or organisms in such a way as to align areas of the sequences sharing common properties. The degree of relatedness or homology between the sequences is predicted computationally or statistically based on weights assigned to the elements aligned between the sequences. This in turn can serve as a potential indicator of the genetic relatedness between the organisms.
