Abstract
The structures and characteristics of the large subunit of ribonucleotide reductase (R1), encoded by UL39 gene from duck plague virus (DPV) were analyzed and predicted by using a series of free bioinformatics software packages and bioinformatics tools. The DPV UL39 gene has a base composition of 681 adenine (27.99%), 503 cytosine (20.67%), 593 guanine (24.37%) and 656 thymine (26.96%). The online analysis of the physico-chemical properties demonstrates that the protein has 40 potential phosphorylation sites and 4 N-glycosylation sites when the threshold of prediction score is above 0.5; without the signal peptide and the transmembrance region. The phylogenetic tree proved that DPV R1 protein had a close evolutionary relationship with the Mardivirus genus of the Alphaherpesviruses. In conclusion, all those results will provide some valuable information for the further research of UL39 gene.
