The nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the mRNA and predicted polypeptide of the integral membrane small hydrophobic (SH) protein of human respiratory syncytial virus strain 18537 (a prototype strain of antigenic subgroup B) were determined from cloned cDNA. At the nucleotide and amino acid levels there was 78% and 76% identity, respectively, with the previously described SH mRNA and protein of strain A2 (a prototype strain of subgroup A). Most of the amino acid substitutions occurred in the predicted ectodomain (50% identity). The pattern of posttranslational processing of the strain 18537 SH protein was very similar to that of strain A2, yielding a nonglycosylated form and two glycosylated forms. Analysis of released virions of strain A2 by immunoprecipitation with SH-specific antibodies suggested that the major non-glycosylated species and one of the glycosylated species are virion structural components.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
