This research investigates 24 647 non-homologous protein sequences. The occurrence profile of peptapeptides was constructed for every sequence and hierarchically organized elements of various sizes were revealed by a special mathematical method in each profile. The correlations between these hierarchical elements were analyzed and it was shown that in a tested set of protein sequences there are 11 levels of protein organization with elements ranging in length from 7 to 56 amino acid residues. It was suggested that the identified levels of organization correspond to elements of a super-secondary structure with different topology.

Human parechoviruses (HPeVs) are frequent pathogens with a seroprevalance of over 90 % in adults. Recent studies on these viruses have increased the number of HPeV types to eight. Here we analyse the complete genome of one clinical isolate, PicoBank/HPeV1/a, and VP1 and 3D protein sequences of PicoBank/HPeV6/a, isolated from the same individual 13 months later. PicoBank/HPeV1/a is closely related to other recent HPeV1 isolates but is distinct from the HPeV1 Harris prototype isolated 50 years ago. The availability of an increasing number of HPeV sequences has allowed a detailed analysis of these viruses. The results add weight to the observations that recombination plays a role in the generation of HPeV diversity. An important finding is the presence of unexpected conservation of codons utilized in part of the 3D-encoding region, some of which can be explained by the presence of a phylogenetically conserved predicted secondary structure domain. This suggests that in addition to the cis-acting replication element, RNA secondary structure domains in coding regions play a key role in picornavirus replication.
