Abstract:
:A newly discovered group of spherical plant viruses contains a bipartite genome consisting of a single-strand linear RNA molecule (RNA 1, Mr 1.5 x 10(6) ), and a single-strand, covalently closed circular viroid-like RNA molecule (RNA 2, Mr approximately 125,000). The nucleotide sequences of the RNA 2 of two of these, velvet tobacco mottle virus and solanum nodiflorum mottle virus, have been determined. RNA 2 of solanum nodiflorum mottle virus consists of 377 residues whereas that of velvet tobacco mottle virus consists of two approximately equimolar species, one of 366 residues and the other, with a single nucleotide deletion, of 365 residues. There is 92-95% sequence homology between the RNA 2 species of the two viruses. The predicted secondary structures possess extensive intramolecular base pairing to give rod-like structures similar to those of viroids. The structural similarities between the RNAs 2 of velvet tobacco mottle virus and solanum nodiflorum mottle virus and viroids may reflect functional similarities.
