A defective (D) RNA 3 naturally generated from the Y strain of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV-Y) was characterized using a biologically active cDNA clone. Sequencing of the clone revealed that the D RNA 3, named D RNA 3Yalpha, was derived from CMV-Y RNA 3 and contained a 10 nt deletion in the 5' untranslated region and a 162 nt deletion within the 3a open reading frame. Co-inoculation of D RNA 3Yalpha with CMV-Y derived from in vitro transcripts facilitated propagation of CMV-Y containing D RNA 3Yalpha in Nicotiana benthamiana or Nicotiana tabacum plants. CMV-Y, however, did not produce deletion mutants upon serial mechanical passages in the plants.
利用具有生物活性的cDNA克隆对黄瓜花叶病毒Y株系(CMV-Y)天然产生的缺陷型(D)RNA 3进行了表征。对该克隆进行测序后发现,名为D RNA 3Yα的D RNA 3源自CMV-Y RNA 3,其5'非翻译区有10个核苷酸的缺失,3a开放阅读框内有162个核苷酸的缺失。将D RNA 3Yα与体外转录产生的CMV-Y共同接种,促进了含有D RNA 3Yα的CMV-Y在本氏烟草或烟草植株中的传播。然而,CMV-Y在植株中连续机械传代时并未产生缺失突变体。
