Abstract

The extensive use of high-throughput sequencing (HTS) has significantly advanced and transformed our comprehension of virus diversity, especially in intricate settings like soil and biological specimens. In this study, we delved into mycovirus sequence surveys within mycorrhizal fungus species Terfezia claveryi, through employing HTS with total double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) extracts. Our findings revealed the presence of four distinct members from the Alsuviricetes class, one flexivirus designated as Terfezia claveryi flexivirus 1 (TcFV1) and three endornaviruses (TcEV1, TcEV2, and TcEV3) in two different T. claveryi isolates. TcFV1, a member of the order Tymovirales, exhibits a unique genome structure and sequence features. Through in-depth analyses, we found that it shares sequence similarities with other deltaflexiviruses and challenges existing Deltaflexiviridae classification. The discovery of TcFV1 adds to the genomic plasticity of mycoviruses within the Tymovirales order, shedding light on their evolutionary adaptations. Additionally, the three newly discovered endornaviruses (TcEV1, TcEV2, and TcEV3) in T. claveryi exhibited limited sequence similarities with other endornaviruses and distinctive features, including conserved domains like DEAD-like helicase, ATPases Associated with Diverse Cellular Activities (AAA ATPase), and RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), indicating their classification as members of new species within the Alphaendornavirus genus. In conclusion, this research emphasizes the importance of exploring viral diversity in uncultivated fungi, bridging knowledge gaps in mycovirus ecology. The discoveries of a novel flexivirus with unique genome organization and endornaviruses in T. claveryi broaden our comprehension of mycovirus diversity and evolution, highlighting the need for continued investigations into viral populations in wild fungi.

摘要

高通量测序(HTS)的广泛应用极大地促进和改变了我们对病毒多样性的理解,尤其是在土壤和生物样本等复杂环境中。在这项研究中,我们通过对总双链 RNA(dsRNA)提取物进行 HTS,深入研究了外生菌根真菌 Terfezia claveryi 中的真菌病毒序列调查。我们的研究结果显示,在两个不同的 T. claveryi 分离物中,Alsuviricetes 类的四个不同成员,一个 Flexiviridae 病毒被指定为 Terfezia claveryi flexivirus 1(TcFV1)和三个 Endornaviridae(TcEV1、TcEV2 和 TcEV3)。作为 Tymovirales 目成员的 TcFV1 具有独特的基因组结构和序列特征。通过深入分析,我们发现它与其他 deltflexiviruses 具有序列相似性,并对现有 Deltaflexiviridae 分类提出了挑战。TcFV1 的发现增加了 Tymovirales 目真菌病毒的基因组可塑性,揭示了它们的进化适应。此外,在 T. claveryi 中发现的三种新的内生病毒(TcEV1、TcEV2 和 TcEV3)与其他内生病毒的序列相似性有限,具有独特的特征,包括保守结构域,如 DEAD 样解旋酶、与多种细胞活动相关的 ATP 酶(AAA ATPase)和 RNA 依赖的 RNA 聚合酶(RdRp),表明它们分类为 Alphaendornavirus 属的新种成员。总之,这项研究强调了探索未培养真菌中病毒多样性的重要性,填补了真菌病毒生态学方面的知识空白。在 T. claveryi 中发现的具有独特基因组结构的新型 Flexiviridae 病毒和内生病毒拓宽了我们对真菌病毒多样性和进化的认识,强调了需要继续对野生真菌中的病毒种群进行研究。
