Here, we report a circular double-stranded DNA virus from red pitaya (Hylocereus polyrhizus). The complete genome sequence is 7,837 nt in length and shares 98.7% nucleotide sequence identity with epiphyllum mottle-associated virus (EpMoaV) and 40.4-54.6% with other members of the genus Badnavirus. It has four open reading frames (ORFs), encoding putative proteins of 19.9, 14.8, 225.7 and 14.2 kDa, respectively. The reverse transcriptase (RT)-ribonuclease H (RNase H) region exhibits less than 70.5% nucleotide sequence identity to RT-RNase H of other badnaviruses, and 99.7% to that of EpMoaV. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the virus from this study and EpMoaV form a single group. Consequently, we propose this virus as a new member of the genus Badnavirus in the family Caulimoviridae and have named it "pitaya badnavirus 1" (PiBV1). PiBV1 and EpMoaV should be considered two isolates of a badnavirus that infects members of the family Cactaceae.
在这里,我们报道了一种来自火龙果(Hylocereus polyrhizus)的环状双链 DNA 病毒。该病毒的完整基因组序列长 7837 个核苷酸,与 Epiphyllum mottle-associated virus(EpMoaV)的核苷酸序列同源性为 98.7%,与 Badnavirus 属的其他成员的同源性为 40.4-54.6%。它有四个开放阅读框(ORFs),分别编码推定的 19.9、14.8、225.7 和 14.2 kDa 的蛋白。逆转录酶(RT)-核糖核酸酶 H(RNase H)区的核苷酸序列与其他 badnaviruses 的 RT-RNase H 的同一性小于 70.5%,与 EpMoaV 的同一性为 99.7%。系统进化分析表明,本研究中的病毒与 EpMoaV 形成一个单独的组。因此,我们建议将该病毒作为 Caulimoviridae 科 Badnavirus 属的一个新成员,并将其命名为“火龙果 badnavirus 1”(PiBV1)。PiBV1 和 EpMoaV 应被视为感染仙人掌科成员的 badnavirus 的两个分离株。
