Fig. 2. (a) Alignment of nucleotide sequences immediately upstream of the capsid-encoding regions of selected insect-infecting viruses. The numbers on the left indicate nucleotide positions relative to the corresponding genome. The position of the CUU initiation codon of PSIV is indicated by upward-pointing arrows. In both DCV and PSIV, N-terminal sequences of capsid polyproteins have been determined by Edman degradation. Corresponding codons are shown here, doubly underlined. Double-headed arrows above the alignments correspond to stem–loop structures predicted for the PSIV IRES (Sasaki & Nakashima, 1999).
