The 3' RNA base sequences of several Marburg (MBG) and Ebola (EBO) virus isolates have been determined. A comparison of these 3' terminal noncoding sequences with those of other negative strand RNA viruses suggests a unique phylogenic niche for Marburg and Ebola viruses. The translation initiation site and 35 N-terminal amino acids of the 3' proximal coding gene of a Zaire strain of Ebola virus was predicted. In addition, putative leader RNA sequences preceding the first gene are discussed in terms of possible regulatory functions.
