• NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCE
• HSV HOMOLOG OF ICP4

The infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV) gene encoding a homologue to the ICP4 protein of herpes simplex virus (HSV) has been mapped to the inverted repeat region. The complete nucleotide sequence of ILTV ICP4 has been determined. The ILTV ORF encoding ICP4 is 4386 nucleotides long, calculated from the first of four ATG codons, and has an overall G+C content of 59%. The ILTV ICP4 contains two domains of high homology which have been reported in other studies to be conserved in the ICP4 homologues of alphaherpesviruses, and to be functionally important. Several regulatory features were identified including a serine-rich domain in region one. A more extensive serine-rich domain was located in region five which is also found in varicella-zoster virus (VZV) and bovine herpesvirus 1. A 5.4 kb immediate early transcript was identified in infected primary kidney cells.
