چکیده

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 organizations have been seen previously in RNAs of phleboviruses, uukuviruses and arenaviruses. The ORF in the viral sequence encodes the major non-structural protein, but the product of the ORF in the viral complementary sequence (Mr 32407) has not yet been identified. The first 18 bases of each of the 5' and 3' ends of segment 4 are complementary in sequence. Among the 3'-terminal 16 bases, 14 were identical between RSV genome segments 3 and 4. These terminal sequences are very similar to those of RNAs of phleboviruses and uukuviruses. These and other characteristics indicate a possible evolutionary relationship between RSV and phleboviruses and/or uukuviruses.

Ambisense segment 3 of rice stripe virus: the first instance of a virus containing two ambisense segments.

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 uukuvi...

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 nucleotide sequence of the M RNA segment of tomato spotted wilt virus, a bunyavirus with two ambisense RNA segments.

The complete sequence of the tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) M RNA segment has been determined. The RNA is 4821 nucleotides long and has an ambisense coding strategy similar to that of the S RNA segment. The M RNA segment contains two open reading frames (ORFs), one in the viral sense which encodes a protein with a predicted size of 33.6K, and one in the viral complementary sense which encodes...

Complete nucleotide sequence of RNA 3 of rice stripe virus: an ambisense coding strategy.

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...
