Comparison of the predicted amino acid sequence of gD from BoHV-1 and BoHV-5. BoHV-1 gD [GenBank:CAA80604.1] [39] and BoHV-5 gD [GenBank:AAA67359.1] [36] were aligned with Clustal Omega v. 1.2.1 [40]. Numbers are shown on the right, starting at the first methionine. Fully conserved residues are indicated with an asterisk (*); conservation between groups of strongly similar properties are indicated with a colon (:); conservation between groups of weakly similar properties are indicated with a period (.); conserved cysteine residues are indicated in a grey box; potential N-linked glycosylation sites are indicated with (•). Solid and dashed lines show presumed signal sequences and transmembrane anchor sequences, respectively. An arrow indicates the position of the BoHV-1-gD signal peptide cleavage site (aa 18 and 19) [35].
