Figure 1

Protein Coding Map of GPCMV Genome. Schematic representation of the GPCMV genome demonstrating ORFs described in the text. GPCMV ORFs with positional and/or sequence homology to HCMV ORFs are indicated in bold with upper case prefixes (GP23 through GP122). ORFs that lack sequence or positional homologs in HCMV but share homology with ORFs in other CMVs are indicated with lower case prefixes (see Table 1). Only the 5' terminal repeat (TR) is shown; however, in about 50% of genomes the TR is duplicated at the 3' end [18]. Color-coding indicates ORFs of interest for vaccine and pathogenesis studies: blue, envelope glycoprotein homologs; green, putative immune evasion/immune modulation gene homologs; red, US22 superfamily homologs.
