Ambisense segment 3 of rice stripe virus: the first instance of a virus containing two ambisense segments.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The complete nucleotide sequence of rice stripe virus (RSV) segment 3 shows that it has two open reading frames, one in the viral-complementary sequence, which codes for the nucleocapsid protein, and the other in the viral-sense sequence. The non-coding region between the ambisense genes in RSV segment 3 contains several U and A tracts, as do the ambisense S segments of phleboviruses and uukuviruses. As we have previously shown that RSV segment 4 has an ambisense nature, this is the first instance of a virus containing two ambisense segments.

In vitro Expression Studies of Three Proteins of Iranian Wheat Stripe Virus
The genome of Iranian wheat stripe virus (IWSV), a tentative member of the genus Tenuivirus, is comprised of three ambisense and one negative sense RNA segments. The coat and non-structural proteins encoded by the vcRNA3 and vRNA4 genes, respectively, were efficiently translated in vitro. Translated proteins of vcRNA3 and vRNA4 transcripts were approximately 35000 and 22000 in Mr, respectively,...

The complete nucleotide sequence of segment 4 of the rice stripe virus (RSV) genome was determined from overlapping cDNA clones and by direct RNA sequencing. The segment has two long open reading frames (ORFs). One of the ORFs (534 bases) is in the 5' region of the viral sequence, and the other (858 bases) is in the viral complementary sequence of the viral 3' region. Such ambisense genome orga...

The RNA 3 of rice stripe virus (RSV) isolate T was cloned and its nucleotide sequence was determined. The complete primary structure was found to consist of 2504 nucleotides. One putative open reading frame (ORF), between nucleotides 2412 and 1444 in the 5'-proximal region of the virus complementary-sense RNA, encoded a 322 amino acid protein with an Mr of 35,134 that was identified as the coat...
متن کاملThe Bunyamwera virus mRNA transcription signal resides within both the 3' and the 5' terminal regions and allows ambisense transcription from a model RNA segment.
Bunyamwera virus (BUNV) is the prototype of the Bunyaviridae family of RNA viruses. BUNV genomic strands are templates for both replication and transcription, whereas the antigenomic RNAs serve only as templates for replication. By mutagenesis of model templates, we showed that the BUNV transcription promoter comprises elements within both the 3' and the 5' nontranslated regions. Using this inf...
