Nigrospora oryzae is a worldwide phytopathogenic fungus that can infect many plant host species. In this study, complete sequence of a novel mycovirus from N. oryzae was reported. The viral genome is 5100 base pairs in length and possesses two overlapping open reading frames (ORFs). The two ORFs potentially encode proteins that showed significant similarity to the capsid protein and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, in the family Totiviridae, respectively. Phylogenetic tree showed that this novel mycovirus is a new member of the genus Victorivirus in the family Totiviridae. We here designated the virus as Nigrospora oryzae victorivirus 1 (NoRV1), the first putative victorivirus identified in N. oryzae.
稻黑孢霉是一种可感染多种植物寄主物种的全球范围的植物病原真菌。在本研究中,报道了一种来自稻黑孢霉的新型真菌病毒的完整序列。该病毒基因组长度为5100个碱基对,具有两个重叠的开放阅读框(ORF)。这两个ORF可能分别编码与双链RNA病毒科中的衣壳蛋白和RNA依赖的RNA聚合酶具有显著相似性的蛋白质。系统发育树表明,这种新型真菌病毒是双链RNA病毒科中Victorivirus属的一个新成员。我们在此将该病毒命名为稻黑孢霉Victorivirus 1(NoRV1),这是在稻黑孢霉中鉴定出的首个假定的Victorivirus病毒。
