Nucleotide sequence analysis of the 3’portion of the genome of simian T-lymphotropic virus type 3 from African green monkeys (STLV-3agm) reveals that it has the same general genome structure as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-l), the etlologlc agent of AIDS. Short segments of strong amino acid homology and similar predicted protein structure characterize the tat and art/trs open reading frames (orf) of both viruses Strong conservation of 3’orf and of another, csorf, for which no protein product has been identified suggests that they both encode proteins important to the life cycle of these viruses. The extracellular glycoproteins of STLV-3 and HIV-1 share a similar backbone structure and 50%~ 55% amino acid homology in constant domains of the HIV-1 protein. The most evident departure in structural organization is truncation of the transmembrane glycoproteins In two STLV-3agm clones and a biologically active, noncytopathic clone of HTLV-4.
