This deletion caused a downstream termination codon to come inframe with the coding sequence of p10, so that the p10 gene of BmNPV encoded a protein of 70 amino acid residues with an M r of 7700. This is considerably shorter than the 10000 M r protein encoded by the closely related AcMNPV., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jgv/10.1099/0022-1317-75-8-2085
