Nucleotide sequence of the genes encoding the matrix protein of two wild-type measles virus strains

Abstract: The nucleotide sequences of the matrix protein (M) genes of two wild-type measles virus (MV) isolates (JM and CM) have been determined and shown to differ in 56 positions; 31 of these differences are located in the non-coding region and 25 in the coding region of the gene. Most (80 %) of the mutations in the coding region are changes to the third base of a codon. A maximum parsimony analysis of the available M gene nucleotide sequences allowed the construction of a tree with at least three lineages or subtypes… Show more

“…Our results that major lineage of wild MV in Japan had changed in 1990 would explain this. Baczko et al [1991Baczko et al [ , 1992 reported that recombination had not taken place between the N, P, and M genes in some MV strains by comparing the phylogenetic trees of each gene. Rota et al [1996] reported that phylogenetic trees of the N and H genes of wild MV strains were very similar to each other.…”

“…The level of variability in the 3' non-coding region of the M mRNA also does not support the latter. The highest recorded difference in this region between two strains of MV is 6-5~ (Baczko et al, 1991). The nucleotide similarities between PDV and CDV, as well as CDV and MV (Bellini et al, 1986) and RPV (Limo & Yilma, 1990) appear to be insignificant in this area, but it is interesting to note the conservation in size of the 3' non-coding region between PDV and CDV.…”
