Bovine entenc coronavirus belongs to the monogeneric Coronavindae family; it induces very severe, often fatal diarrhoea in young calves. Described for the first time in the USA (1) an antigenically different strain F15 was isolated in France (2-3) The complete nucleotide sequence of the BECV F15 genome located between the S and M structural genes has been determined from 4 overlapping cDNA clones. This sequence is 962 nucleotide long. Two main open reading frames (ORF) corresponding to the unique regions of the subgenomic mRNA 5 and mRNA 6 were identified. ORF 5 of 327 nucleotides encodes a polypeptide of 12,807 daltons (NS2); ORF 6 of 252 nucleotides encodes a polypeptide of 9,585 daltons (NS23). NS2 arruno acid sequence is 53.2% homologous with 12,400 daltons (ORF 5a) coronavirus MHV-JHM polypeptide (4) and NS3 amino acid sequence is 61.5% homologous with the 10,200 daltons (ORF 5B) MHV-JHM polypeptide (4). The regions of homology involved in regulating the synthesis of the subgenomic mRNAs 5, 6 and 7 are underlined.
