| Type: | Family | Name: | Viral protein D9 |
| Description: | The complete DNA sequence of the genome of Vaccinia virushas been determined []. 198 "major" protein-coding regions and 65 overlapping"minor" regions have been identified, with a total of 263 potential genes. The genes are compactly organised along the genome, with few noncoding regions []. The function of the majority of proteins encoded by these openreading frames is so far undetermined. The D9 protein contains an evolutionarily conserved MutT domain core, which is also found in a variety of other viral, prokaryotic and eukaryoticproteins. | Short Name: | Viral_VD9 |
