Apple rubbery wood virus 2 (ARWV-2) and citrus virus A (CiVA) belong to a recently approved family in the order and possess negative-sense single-stranded RNA genomes. In this study, the genome sequence of three ARWV-2 isolates (S17E2, LYC2, and LYXS) and a CiVA isolate (CiVA-P) infecting pear trees grown in China were characterized using high-throughput sequencing combined with conventional reverse-transcription PCR (RT-PCR) assays. The genome-wide nt sequence identities were above 93.6% among the ARWV-2 isolates and above 93% among CiVA isolates. Sequence comparisons showed that sequence diversity occurred in the 5' untranslated region of the ARWV-2 genome and the intergenic region of the CiVA genome. For the first time, this study revealed that ARWV-2 proteins Ma and Mb displayed a plasmodesma subcellular localization, and the MP of CiVA locates in cell periphery and can interact with the viral NP in bimolecular fluorescence complementation assays. RT-PCR tests disclosed that ARWV-2 widely occurs, while CiVA has a low incidence in pear trees grown in China. This study presents the first complete genome sequences and incidences of ARWV-2 and CiVA from pear trees and the obtained results extend our knowledge of the viral pathogens of pear grown in China.
苹果韧皮部泻肿病毒 2 型(ARWV-2)和柑橘病毒 A(CiVA)属于最近批准的目科,拥有负义单链 RNA 基因组。本研究通过高通量测序结合常规逆转录 PCR(RT-PCR)试验,对中国梨树上感染的三种 ARWV-2 分离株(S17E2、LYC2 和 LYXS)和一种 CiVA 分离株(CiVA-P)的基因组序列进行了特征描述。ARWV-2 分离株之间的全基因组 nt 序列同一性在 93.6%以上,而 CiVA 分离株之间的同一性在 93%以上。序列比较表明,ARWV-2 基因组的 5'非翻译区和 CiVA 基因组的基因间隔区发生了序列多样性。本研究首次揭示了 ARWV-2 蛋白 Ma 和 Mb 呈现出质膜小泡的亚细胞定位,而 CiVA 的 MP 位于细胞外周,并能在双分子荧光互补实验中与病毒的 NP 相互作用。RT-PCR 试验揭示了 ARWV-2 广泛存在,而 CiVA 在我国梨树中的发病率较低。本研究首次提供了来自梨树的 ARWV-2 和 CiVA 的完整基因组序列和发病率,研究结果扩展了我们对中国梨树病毒病原体的认识。
