Abstract

We have already reported the nucleotide sequences of the NP, P/V, M, F and HN genes of human parainfluenza virus type 4A (hPIV-4A) and type 4B (hPIV-4B). Here, we have determined the sequences of the L protein genes as well as the gene start, intergenic and end sequences, thereby completing the full-length genome sequence of hPIV-4A and 4B. hPIV-4A and 4B have 17,052 and 17,304 nucleotides, respectively. The end sequence of hPIV-4, especially 4B, was extraordinarily long. In a comparison with members of the genus Rubulavirus, the hPIV-4 L proteins were closely related to those of mumps virus (MUV) and hPIV-2, less closely related to those of Menangle virus and Tioman virus, and more distantly related to those of Mapuera virus and porcine rubulavirus.
