This study reports the detection of a novel picornavirus in domesticated common quail (Coturnix coturnix) in Hungary. The 8159-nucleotide (nt)-long RNA genome of this virus, named quail picornavirus (QPV1-HUN/2010; JN674502), shows only 43%, 39% and 47% amino acid (aa) identity in the P1 (857 aa), P2 (458 aa) and P3 (777 aa) coding regions respectively, to the closest reference, avian sapelovirus. The 5'UTR contains a variant type IV IRES with a 20-nt-long apical "8"-like structure that is conserved in avian-origin and seal picornaviruses. The 390-aa-long L protein is cysteine rich and encodes two copies of a 34-aa-long repeat motif. Quail picornavirus represents a novel picornavirus species and perhaps a novel genus.
本研究报告了在匈牙利家养普通鹌鹑(Coturnix coturnix)中检测到一种新型微小 RNA 病毒。该病毒的 8159 个核苷酸(nt)长的 RNA 基因组被命名为鹌鹑微小 RNA 病毒(QPV1-HUN/2010;JN674502),在 P1(857 个 aa)、P2(458 个 aa)和 P3(777 个 aa)编码区,其与最接近的参考病毒——禽沙波病毒的氨基酸(aa)同一性分别为 43%、39%和 47%。5'UTR 包含一个变体 IV 型 IRES,具有一个 20-nt 长的顶端“8”样结构,在禽源和海豹微小 RNA 病毒中保守。长 390 个 aa 的 L 蛋白富含半胱氨酸,编码两个 34 个 aa 长的重复基序。鹌鹑微小 RNA 病毒代表一种新型微小 RNA 病毒,可能是一个新的属。
