RESUMO

Using peptide antisera specific for regions within the N terminus and C terminus of the predicted UL36 gene product, immunoblotting experiments were performed to demonstrate definitively that ICP1/2 is encoded by the UL36 gene. These data also suggest that both the cell- and the virion-associated forms of ICP1/2 are colinear with the complete predicted amino acid sequence of the UL36 gene. Computer-assisted analyses of the predicted amino acid sequence of the UL36 gene revealed the presence of two putative leucine zipper-type motifs and a potential ATP-binding domain. The possible functions of these consensus domains will also be discussed.
