The nucleotide sequence of the 6004-bp EcoRI I fragment of African swine fever virus DNA has been determined. Translation of the sequence revealed eight closely spaced open reading frames (ORFs), three of them reading rightward and five leftward. Northern blot hybridization analysis indicated that ORFs I73R and I78R were transcribed early in infection, whereas ORFs I177L, I196L, and I329L were expressed at late times. Transcripts for ORFs I215L, I226R, and I243L were detected at low levels in early RNA and at higher levels in late RNA. The intergenic regions between genes I73R/I329L and I78R/I215L were characterized by the presence of direct repeats in tandem. Direct repetitions were also found within ORF I196L. The protein encoded by ORF I329L contained a putative cleavable signal peptide and an internal transmembrane domain, and that encoded by ORF I177L had an amino-terminal hydrophobic region with the characteristics of a "start-stop" sequence. ORF I243L encoded a protein similar to the eukaryotic elongation factor SII. The protein encoded by ORF I215L was homologous to the family of ubiquitin-conjugating proteins.
