Abstract

cDNA corresponding to the genomic segment 6 of avian rotavirus strain PO-13, which has group A common and subgroup I antigens, but does not hybridize in Northern blots with RNA probes from group A mammalian rotaviruses, was cloned and sequenced. When the deduced amino acid sequence was compared between strain PO-13 and eight group A mammalian rotaviruses, the extent of homology ranged from 73-75%. An alignment of the amino acid sequences allowed us to identify three amino acids (Positions 120, 317 and 350) that may contribute to determining the subgroup epitopes. A phylogenetic tree constructed on the basis of nucleotide substitutions in the VP6 gene of nine rotaviruses strongly suggests that the avian rotavirus is an ancestral prototype of mammalian rotaviruses.
