Genomic characteristic of Ch-sw-sav1. A. Schematic of the genomic organization of Ch-sw-sav1 showing the two predicted ORFs: ORF1, encoding a polyprotein fused to and contiguous with the capsid protein (VP1), forming a large polyprotein; and ORF2 encoding a small basic protein (VP2) of unknown function. B. Schematic of the conserved nucleotide sequence motifs at the 5' termini of the genomic and predicted subgenomic RNAs. The Kozak context, favorable for translation initiation, is underlined. C. Aligned nucleotide and predicted amino acid sequences at the junction between ORF1 and ORF2. ORF2 overlaps the 3' end of ORF1 by 4nt (underlined).
