Nucleotide sequence and genomic organization of rice tungro spherical virus
Abstract
Rice tungro disease is caused by a combination of two viruses: rice tungro spherical virus (RTSV) and rice tungro bacilliform virus (Jones et al. (1991) J. Gen. Virol. 72, 757-761.). The genome of RTSV is a single-stranded polyadenylated RNA. We present here the 12,433-nucleotide complete sequence of RTSV genomic RNA and its deduced coding regions. This sequence contains a large open reading frame (ORF) which initiates following a 514-nucleotide 5' leader sequence and is capable of encoding a viral polyprotein of 390.3 kDa. Two viral subgenomic RNAs of ca. 1.2 and 1.4 kb, respectively, were detected in RTSV-infected leaf tissues and mapped by S1 nuclease protection assay. These RNAs were determined to be congruent with the genomic RNA sequence proximal to the 3' terminus and could contain up to two small ORFs in their 5' to 3' orientation. There are at least three capsid protein subunit cistrons near the N-terminus of the large ORF. A computer-aided search of the C-terminal half of the large ORF revealed conserved protein sequence motifs for a viral RNA polymerase, proteinase, and a putative NTP-binding protein. These sequence motifs are arranged in a manner that resembles those of picorna-like viruses. Taken together, these data indicate that RTSV is a distinct type of positive-strand RNA virus. The evolutionary relationships between RTSV and other picorna-like plant viruses are discussed.
