The complete nucleotide sequence and the genome organization of the RNA 2 of a patchouli mild mosaic virus (PaMMV) was determined. The sequence consists of 3591 nucleotides and contains a single long open reading frame sufficient to code for 118 K protein. Three proteins of 52 K, 44 K and 22 K could be encoded by the PaMMV RNA 2 genome. Our analysis of the N-terminal sequences of two species of coat protein (CP) allowed precise location of the CP cistrons within the polyprotein. 44 K and 22 K proteins are the coat proteins. The positions of the cleavage sites are Gln/Ala between 44 K and 22 K coat proteins and Gln/Gly between 52 K and 44 K proteins. Comparison of PaMMV RNA 2 with comoviral and nepoviral RNA 2 showed no sequence similarity. These results as well as previous serological studies strongly suggest that PaMMV is a member in the genus Fabavirus.
我们测定了广藿香轻度花叶病毒(PaMMV)RNA 2的完整核苷酸序列和基因组结构。该序列由3591个核苷酸组成,包含一个单一的长开放阅读框,足以编码118K蛋白。PaMMV RNA 2基因组可编码三种蛋白质,分别为52K、44K和22K。我们对两种外壳蛋白(CP)的N端序列进行分析,从而能够精确确定CP顺反子在多蛋白中的位置。44K和22K蛋白为外壳蛋白。切割位点分别位于44K和22K外壳蛋白之间的Gln/Ala处,以及52K和44K蛋白之间的Gln/Gly处。将PaMMV RNA 2与雀麦花叶病毒属病毒和线虫传多面体病毒属病毒的RNA 2进行比较,未发现序列相似性。这些结果以及先前的血清学研究强烈表明,PaMMV是蚕豆病毒属的一个成员。
