Abstract
A segment of 1160 nucleotides of the FMDV genome has been sequenced using three overlapping fragments of cloned cDNA from FMDV strain O1K. This sequence contains the coding sequence for the viral capsid protein VP1 as shown by its homology to known and newly determined amino acid sequences from this man antigenic polypeptide of the FMDV virion. The structural gene for VP1 comprises 639 nucleotides which specify a sequence of 213 amino acids for the VP1 protein. The coding sequence is not flanked by start and stop codons which is consistent with the mode of biosynthesis of VP1 by post-translational processing of a polyprotein precursor.Keywords
