A new member of the family Closteroviridae was detected in Actinidia chinensis grown in Italy, using next generation sequencing of double-stranded RNA. The virus isolate, named Actinidia virus 1 (AcV-1) has a genome of 18,848 nts in length, a structure similar to the unclassified persimmon virus B (PeVB) and contains 12 open reading frames (ORFs) greater than 6 KDa, one carrying two papain-like leader proteases, a methyltransferase, a helicase and an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase domain. Additional ORFs code for homologs of heat shock protein 70, heat shock protein 90 and a coat protein. Curiously, AcV-1 and PeVB genomes code for a thaumatin-like protein, a peculiarity unreported for other viruses. In phylogenetic analyses both viruses group in a distinct clade evolutionarily related to closteroviruses. The final taxonomic position of AcV-1 within the family Closteroviridae is yet to be clarified.
利用双链RNA的新一代测序技术,在意大利种植的中华猕猴桃中检测到了长线形病毒科的一个新成员。该病毒分离株名为中华猕猴桃病毒1(AcV-1),基因组长度为18,848个核苷酸,其结构与未分类的柿树病毒B(PeVB)相似,包含12个大于6 kDa的开放阅读框(ORF),其中一个带有两个类木瓜蛋白酶前体、一个甲基转移酶、一个解旋酶和一个RNA依赖的RNA聚合酶结构域。其他开放阅读框编码热休克蛋白70、热休克蛋白90和一种外壳蛋白的同源物。奇怪的是,AcV-1和PeVB基因组编码一种类thaumatin蛋白,这是其他病毒未报道过的特性。在系统发育分析中,这两种病毒都聚集在一个与长线形病毒进化相关的独特分支中。AcV-1在长线形病毒科中的最终分类地位尚待明确。
