Complete Nucleotide Sequence of Ryegrass Mottle Virus : A New Species of the Genus Sobemovirus

The genome of Ryegrass mottle virus (RGMoV) comprises 4210 nucleotides. The genomic RNA contains four open reading frames (ORFs). The largest ORF 2 encodes a polyprotein of 947 amino acids (103.6 kDa), which codes for a serine protease and an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. The viral coat protein is encoded on ORF 4 present at the 3′-proximal region. Other ORFs 1 and 3 encode the predicted 14.6 kDa and 19.8 kDa proteins of unknown function. The consensus signal for frameshifting, heptanucleotide UUUAAAC and a stem-loop structure just downstream is in front of the AUG codon of ORF 3. Analysis of the in vitro translation products of RGMoV RNA suggests that the 68 kDa protein may represent a fusion protein of ORF 2-ORF 3 produced by frameshifting. The protease region of the polyprotein and coat protein have a low similarity with that of the sobemoviruses (approximately 25% amino acid identity), while the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase region has particularly strong similarity (54 to 60% of more than 350 amino acid residues). The sequence similarities of RGMoV to the sobemoviruses, together with the characteristic genome organization indicate that RGMoV is a new species of the genus Sobemovirus.

Sequence analysis within the RNA 3 of seven Spanish tomato isolates of Parietaria mottle virus (PMoV-T) reveals important structural differences with the parietaria isolates (PMoV)

The genomic regions encoding the putative movement protein (MP), coat protein (CP) and intergenic region (IGR) of seven Spanish isolates of the Parietaria mottle virus which infects tomato plants (PMoV-T) were sequenced. Values for the genetic diversity of the PMoV-T isolates were 0.056, 0.047 and 0.013 for the CP, MP genes and IGR, respectively. Nucleotide and amino acid sequence comparison of the seven PMoV-T isolates with those of PMoV revealed significant differences. All of them had a cytosine deletion at position 1366, also confirmed in an Italian tomato isolate, which involves a start codon for the CP gene different from that for the PMoV sequence, resulting in a CP 16 amino acids shorter than the PMoV CP. The certainty of a cytosine deletion only associated to the tomato isolates or the possibility of a mistake in the PMoV published sequence are the two hypotheses that could explain this difference. Structural motifs highly conserved in Ilarviruses were identified in PMoV-T MP and CP. A stable hairpin structure is proposed for IGR, by the initiation site for subgenomic RNA 4 synthesis. Phylogenetic analysis of CP and MP amino acid sequences showed that Spanish PMoV-T isolates form a separate group from PMoV and other members of the Ilarvirus genus. Comparative analysis with different PMoV isolates including tomato isolates from other regions and isolates from different hosts are necessary to confirm this differentiation.     

Biological, serological, and molecular variabilities of clover yellow vein virus

ABSTRACT A comparative study was made on the host reactions, serological properties, and nucleotide sequences of the coat protein (CP) gene of 10 clover yellow vein virus (C1YVV) isolates and one bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) isolate collected from different host plant species and locations in Japan. Two strains of C1YVV isolates, grouped on the basis of host reactions on Chenopodium amaranticolor, C. quinoa, Nicotianaclevelandii, N. benthamiana, Vicia faba, and Trifolium repens, corresponded to two serotypes determined by double-antibody sandwich- and triple-antibody sandwich-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using three polyclonal and nine monoclonal antibodies. These results were also confirmed by nucleotide sequence analysis of the CP gene. The CP gene of C1YVV isolates of strain 1, including the Australian isolate C1YVV-B, had 93 to 98% nucleotide identities and 97 to 99.6% amino acid identities. The CP of C1YVV isolates of strain 2, including the New Zealand isolate C1YVV-NZ, had 92 to 98% nucleotide identities and 95 to 98% amino acid identities. The nucleotide identities and the amino acid identities between the two C1YVV strains were 82 to 84%, and 90 to 94%, respectively. When compared with the CP sequences of 12 C1YVV isolates, the CP sequence of the BYMV isolate had 71 to 73% nucleotide identity and 73 to 77% amino acid identity. Amino acid sequence differences among C1YVV isolates from strains 1 and 2 were located mostly at the N-terminal regions of the CP. Our results indicated that the C1YVV isolates studied could be separated into two strains on the basis of host reactions, serology, and the nucleotide sequence of the CP gene.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">Turnip ringspot virus</Emphasis> recognised on Chinese cabbage in Russia

The nucleotide sequence of the 3′-terminal part of the RNA1 genome segment of the M12 isolate of comovirus Turnip ringspot virus (TuRSV) was established. This isolate originated in 1989 in Moscow (Russia) from Chinese cabbage with Radish mosaic virus-like symptoms. Comparison of the M12 RNA polymerase amino acid sequence with that of Radish mosaic virus (RaMV) revealed significant differences; these proteins are of different length and are only about 75% identical. On the other hand, the amino acid sequence of the M12 RNA polymerase was more than 94% identical with that of TuRSV recently described in Toledo (USA). We conclude that TuRSV occurs in Europe as well as in America and probably represents a new species of the genus Comovirus.

Nucleotide Sequence of the 3′ -terminal Region of Carnation vein mottle virus RNA

The 2326 nucleotides of the 3′-terminal region of Carnation vein mottle virus (CVMV) RNA, which included part of the nuclear inclusion b gene, the complete coat protein (CP) gene and the entire 3′-noncoding region (3′-NCR) were determined. The region encoding the CP gene is 843 nucleotides long and the deduced protein consists of 280 amino acids. A search of the EMBL and PIR databases showed that the amino acid sequence of CVMV CP most resembled that of Plum pox virus with a similarity of 67.9%. The 3′-NCR of CVMV RNA is 541 nucleotides long, second longest in the genus Potyvirus. These results indicate that CVMV is closely related to Plum pox virus but is a distinct species in the genus Potyvirus. Received 8 October 1999/ Accepted in revised form 9 January 2000     

The coat protein of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Tomato mosaic virus</Emphasis> L<Subscript>11</Subscript>Y is associated with virus-induced chlorosis on infected tobacco plants

The L₁₁Y strain of Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) causes severe chlorosis on infected tobacco leaves. Sequencing analysis for the genome showed that L₁₁Y contained multiple nucleotide changes and that some led to amino acid substitutions, when compared with that of the common L strain of ToMV. The chimeric virus, which has the CP of L₁₁Y in the context of the L strain RNA genome, caused severe chlorosis on infected tobacco plants, suggesting that the CP of L₁₁Y containing three amino acid changes (E33S, A86T and E97K) was the determinant of the chlorosis. Two of these amino acid changes (A86T and E97K) were associated with the induction of chlorosis when present together in the CP. Severe destruction and deformation of chloroplasts and the formation of discrete dark-staining materials adjacent to chloroplasts were observed with electron microscopy in L₁₁Y-infected plants. Fewer virus particles accumulated in the cytoplasm of L₁₁Y-infected plant cells. The level of accumulation of CP subgenomic RNA and CP in the infected protoplasts was similar between L and L₁₁Y. Fewer virus particles accumulated in L₁₁Y-infected protoplasts, and many of them were shorter-than-full-length. The nucleotide sequence data reported is available in DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank databases as accession AB355139.     

Amino Acid 129 of Cucumber mosaic virus Coat Protein Determines Local Symptom Expression and Systemic Movement in Tetragonia expansa, Momordica charantia and Physalis floridana

Local symptom expression and systemic movement of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) in Tetragonia expansa, Momordica charantia and Physalis floridana were mapped to the amino acid at position 129 of CMV coat protein (CP), using pseudorecombinants, chimeric RNAs, a site-directed mutant of RNA 3 and four strains of CMV : pepo-, SO-, MY17- and Y-CMV. Local and systemic symptoms caused by three strains, pepo-, SO- and MY17-CMV, and those by Y-CMV differed in the three host species. The three strains expressed local chlorotic spots at 24°C and systemic chlorotic spots and ringspots at 36°C, whereas Y-CMV developed local necrotic spots at 24°C but no systemic symptoms at 36°C in T. expansa. In M. charantia the three strains caused systemic chlorotic spots, whereas Y-CMV caused local necrotic spots. The three caused systemic mosaic and Y-CMV systemic necrosis in P. floridana. With pseudorecombinants combined with pepo- and Y-CMV RNAs, CMV RNA 3 was responsible for symptom expression and systemic infection. Inoculation with Y-CMV RNA 1, RNA 2 and chimeric RNA 3s exchanged CP gene fragments between pepo- and Y-CMV showed that NruI-XhoI fragment of CP was essential for symptom expression. Comparative analysis of the NruI-XhoI fragments revealed that only the amino acid at position 129 was common among the three strains but different from that of Y-CMV. Inoculation with a point mutant constructed by substituting one nucleotide resulting in an amino acid change from Ser to Pro at position 129 in Y-CMV CP verified the previous experiments. These results indicate that the amino acid at position 129 of CMV CP is the determinant for local symptom expression and systemic movement in the three host species. CMV CP containing Ser at position 129 may induce resistant responses in these plants. Received 29 June 2001/ Accepted in revised form 28 August 2001     

Nucleotide sequence of the coat protein gene of Mirafiori lettuce virus

 The coat protein (CP) gene of Mirafiori lettuce virus (MiLV), a tentative member of the genus Ophiovirus was isolated and sequenced. The established sequence consists of 1514 nucleotides including one open reading frame (ORF) with 1311 nucleotides that encodes 437 amino acids with a relative molecular mass 48 543. When the ORF was expressed in Escherichia coli, the obtained protein was confirmed as CP by Western blotting using an antiserum against MiLV. Database searches showed that the CP gene of MiLV has a sequence similar to that of Citrus psorosis virus (CPsV), the type species of the genus Ophiovirus. The comparison between MiLV and CPsV CP genes revealed that the identities of the nucleotide and amino acid sequences were 46.5% and 30.9%, respectively.

Molecular characterisation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Rice stripe necrosis virus</Emphasis> as a new species of the genus <Emphasis Type="Italic">Benyvirus</Emphasis>

The complete nucleotide sequences of RNAs 1 and 2 of Rice stripe necrosis virus (RSNV) were determined and compared to the corresponding genomes of all sequenced, rod-shaped plant viruses. The genome organisation of RSNV RNA1 and RNA2 is nearly identical to that of Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) and Beet soil-borne mosaic virus (BSBMV), definitive species of the genus Benyvirus. As demonstrated for BNYVV and BSBMV, the RNA1 of RSNV also encodes a single ORF with putative replicase-associated motifs, which distinguishes benyviruses from all other viruses possessing rod-shaped particles. As described for BNYVV, RNSV RNA-2 also contains six ORFs: the capsid protein gene, the read-through protein gene, a triple gene block gene that codes for three different proteins, and a 17 kDa cysteine-rich protein. RNAs 3 and 4 (or 5 in the case of BNYVV), identified in natural infections of BNYVV and BSBMV, were not detected in any of the 44 RSNV cDNA clones obtained in this investigation. Nevertheless, phylogenetic and amino comparative acid sequence analyses demonstrated that RSNV is more closely related to BNYVV and BSBMV than to any other rod-shaped plant virus characterised to date.     

Molecular evidence that a lily-infecting strain of Tulip breaking virus from Japan is a strain of Lily mottle virus

The sequence of the 3-terminal 2074 nucleotides (nts), excluding the 3-poly (A) tail, of RNA of a potyvirus isolated from lily (Lilium Asiatic hybrid cv. Enchantment) in Japan, currently tentatively designated as Tulip breaking virus-li (TBV-li), was determined. The sequence started within a single open reading frame (ORF) that encoded the carboxyl terminus of the large nuclear inclusion protein (NIb) and the complete 275-amino-acid coat protein (CP), followed by a 3-untranslated region (3-UTR) of 204 nts. The CP of TBV-li shared 91% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with that of TBV lily strain Dutch isolate (TBV-lily). The nt sequences of their 3-UTR were 94% identical. However both viruses shared only 60–65% sequence identities with TBV tulip strain Niigata isolate in the corresponding regions. The results suggest that TBV-li is closely related to TBV-lily, and that these two TBV lily strains should be classified into a species different from TBV tulip strains. We therefore support a proposal to rename TBV-lily Lily mottle virus (LMoV), and suggest that TBV-li is another strain of LMoV (LMoV-J).     

Identification of divergent variants of Grapevine virus A

Eight isolates of Grapevine virus A (GVA), which induced different symptoms in leaves of Nicotiana benthamiana, were recovered from various grapevines. The dsRNA patterns of two isolates, which consistently induced mild vein clearing (referred here as mild isolates of GVA) were similar, but different from those of other isolates of GVA. Analysis based on overall nucleotide (nt) sequence identity in the 3 terminal part of the GVA genome, comprising part of ORF3 (putative movement protein, MP), entire ORF4 (capsid protein, CP), entire ORF5 and part of 3 UTR, revealed that GVA isolates separate into three groups (I, II, III), sharing 91.0–99.8% nt sequence identity within groups and 78.0–89.3% nt sequence identity between groups. Mild isolates of the virus were group III and shared only 78.0–79.6% nt sequence identity with the other isolates. The comparison of predicted amino acid sequences for MP and CP revealed many amino acid alterations, revealing distinct local net charges of these proteins for mild isolates of the virus. Based on both conserved and divergent nt regions in the CP and ORF5, oligonucleotide primers were designed for the simultaneous RT-PCR detection of all GVA isolates and for the specific detection of the most divergent virus variants represented here by mild isolates of the virus.     

Molecular characterization of a phytoplasma causing Phyllody in Clover and other herbaceous hosts in Northern Italy

Red clover (Trifolium pratense) and Ladino clover (Trifolium repens) plants showing phytoplasma-associated symptoms (yellowing/reddening, virescence and phyllody) have been recovered in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy. Using AluI RFLP analysis of PCR amplified 16S rDNA we showed that the disease can be caused independently by two phylogenetically distinct phytoplasmas. One of them showed the very typical 16S rDNA RFLP pattern of the agent of Clover Phyllody in Canada (CCPh). The 16S rDNA of the other phytoplasma (Italian Clover Phyllody phytoplasma, ICPhp) has been PCR amplified, cloned and sequenced. The sequence revealed high similarity (>98%) with phytoplasmas belonging to the X disease cluster, which includes organisms not reported to cause phyllody on their hosts. The analysis by AluI RFLP of the PCR amplified pathogen 16S rDNA from other herbaceous plants (Crepis biennis, Taraxacum officinale, Leucanthemum vulgare) collected nearby with phytoplasma-associated symptoms showed similar patterns. Southern blot hybridization of their EcoRI digested total DNA revealed identical RFLP patterns, suggesting that the causative agent may be the same organism.Abbreviations PCR Polymerase Chain Reaction - rDNA gene for the small subunit ribosomal RNA - RFLP Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism

Identification and characterization of a potyvirus causing chlorotic spots on <Emphasis Type="Italic">Phalaenopsis</Emphasis> orchids

A putative virus-induced disease showing chlorotic spots on leaves of Phalaenopsis orchids was observed in central Taiwan. A virus culture, phalaenopsis isolate 7-2, was isolated from a diseased Phalaenopsis orchid and established in Chenopodium quinoa and Nicotiana benthamiana. The virus reacted with the monoclonal antibody (POTY) against the potyvirus group. Potyvirus-like long flexuous filament particles around 12–15 × 750–800 nm were observed in the crude sap and purified virus preparations, and pinwheel inclusion bodies were observed in the infected cells. The conserved region of the viral RNA was amplified using the degenerate primers for the potyviruses and sequence analysis of the virus isolate 7-2 showed 56.6–63.1% nucleotide and 44.8–65.1% amino acid identities with those of Bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV), Beet mosaic virus (BtMV), Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) and Bean common mosaic virus (BCMV). The coat protein (CP) gene of isolate 7-2 was amplified, sequenced and found to have 280 amino acids. A homology search in GenBank indicated that the virus is a potyvirus but no highly homologous sequence was found. The virus was designated as Phalaenopsis chlorotic spot virus (PhCSV) in early 2006. Subsequently, a potyvirus, named Basella rugose mosaic virus isolated from malabar spinach was reported in December 2006. It was found to share 96.8% amino acid identity with the CP of PhCSV. Back-inoculation with the isolated virus was conducted to confirm that PhCSV is the causal agent of chlorotic spot disease of Phalaenopsis orchids in Taiwan. This is the first report of a potyvirus causing a disease on Phalaenopsis orchids.
