A number of open reading frames (ORFs) are found in the vaccinia virus (VV) genome whose activities in the viral life cycle have not yet been determined. This report examines one such ORF, designated J5L, which was demonstrated to be essential for viral multiplication. Stable inactivation of the J5L ORF by insertion of a lacZ ORF was impossible unless another copy of the J5L ORF was present in the VV genome. Fusion genes between the J5L ORF and either the lacZ gene or the VV K1L gene were employed to study its temporal expression as well as its protein product. These experiments showed that J5L is transcribed late in infection and gives rise to a protein product which migrates by SDS-PAGE with the expected molecular weight (16 kDa). Numerous unsuccessful attempts to establish a stable cell line expressing J5L suggest that the J5L gene product could be cytotoxic.
