Comparative structural analysis of the 36K proteins of vaccinia, ectromelia, cowpox and variola viruses revealed that it is conservative among Orthopoxviruses. The possible role of this protein was suggested. A study of the synthesis kinetics of vaccinia and ectromelia virus 36K proteins established that they belong to late proteins. Electron microscopy of infected cells using protein A labelled with colloidal gold showed that the 36K protein is located in the viroplast and not coupled to virions or any cell organelles.
