Aspergillus niger is an important filamentous phytopathogenic fungus with a broad host range. A novel double-stranded (ds) RNA mycovirus, named Aspergillus niger victorivirus 1 (AnV1), isolated from A. niger strain baiyun3.23-4, was sequenced and analyzed. The AnV1 genome is 5317 nucleotides long with a GC content of 56%. AnV1 contains two open reading frames (ORF1 and 2), overlapping at a tetranucleotide sequence (AUGA). ORF1 encodes a putative capsid protein (CP) of 778 amino acids (aa), while ORF2 potentially encodes a putative RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of 826 aa. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that AnV1 is a new member of the genus Victorivirus in the family Totiviridae. As far as we know, this is the first report of the complete genome sequence of a victorivirus infecting A. niger.
黑曲霉是一种重要的丝状植物病原真菌,宿主范围广泛。从黑曲霉菌株 baiyun3.23-4 中分离到一种新型双链 (ds) RNA 真菌病毒,命名为黑曲霉维多利尔病毒 1(AnV1),并对其进行了测序和分析。AnV1 基因组长 5317 个核苷酸,GC 含量为 56%。AnV1 包含两个开放阅读框(ORF1 和 2),在一个四核苷酸序列(AUGA)处重叠。ORF1 编码一个推定的衣壳蛋白(CP),由 778 个氨基酸(aa)组成,而 ORF2 可能编码一个推定的 RNA 依赖性 RNA 聚合酶(RdRp),由 826 个氨基酸组成。系统发育分析表明,AnV1 是 Totiviridae 家族 Victorivirus 属的一个新成员。据我们所知,这是首例报道感染黑曲霉的维多利尔病毒的完整基因组序列。
