Alignment of 5' flanking sequences of WSSV early genes. The genes are named after WSSV-TH ORF numbers and the function of their protein product. The transcription initiation site of each gene is encircled. Sequences are aligned by their consensus TATA box, as well as by maximizing the identities around the transcriptional start site. Below, the consensus sequence of the alignment and the Drosophila RNA polymerase II core promoter are shown. Similar sequences of the consensus TIS motif and the initiator of the Drosophila RNA pol II core promoter are underlined. Abbreviations used and references: pk: protein kinase [52]; DNA-pol: DNA polymerase [47]; tds: Thymidylate Synthase [48]; dutp-ase: dUTPase [42]; lat-rel: latency related gene [33]; rr1 and rr2: the large and small subunit of ribonucleotide reductase, respectively [53]; endonuc: endonuclease [54].
