Sequence analysis of cymbidium ringspot virus satellite and defective interfering RNAs.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The nucleotide sequences of cloned cDNA copies of satellite and defective interfering (DI) RNAs of cymbidium ringspot virus were determined. DI RNA is 499 nucleotides long and is composed of six stretches of sequence derived from CyRSV genomic RNA. Four of these stretches share common 5' sequences and the 5' and 3' ends are identical to those of genome RNA. Satellite RNA is 621 nucleotides long. In some regions the sequence is very similar (60% to 100% identical) to genomic RNA. A consensus sequence is proposed to be involved in the replication of genomic, DI and satellite RNAs.

Nicotiana clevelandii plants were inoculated with cymbidium ringspot tombusvirus RNA synthesized in vitro, after which further passages were made by sap inoculation. During the third passage, low Mr RNA species appeared which had the characteristics of deletion mutants of genomic RNA. Sequence analysis of several of these defective interfering RNAs suggested a possible evolution of smaller from...
متن کاملShort defective interfering RNAs of tombusviruses are not targeted but trigger post-transcriptional gene silencing against their helper virus.
Post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) is a sequence-specific degradation mechanism that operates in almost all eukaryotic cells. In plants, double-stranded RNA triggers PTGS, generating 21- to 25-nucleotide guide RNAs responsible for specific degradation of cognate mRNA. The double stranded RNA intermediates of replicating plant viruses often induce PTGS, leading to symptom attenuation. He...
متن کاملCymbidium ringspot virus harnesses RNA silencing to control the accumulation of virus parasite satellite RNA.
Cymbidium ringspot virus (CymRSV) satellite RNA (satRNA) is a parasitic subviral RNA replicon that replicates and accumulates at the cost of its helper virus. This 621-nucleotide (nt) satRNA species has no sequence similarity to the helper virus, except for a 51-nt-long region termed the helper-satellite homology (HSH) region, which is essential for satRNA replication. We show that the accumula...
متن کاملMolecular analysis of the pothos latent virus genome.
Pothos latent virus (PoLV) is an isometric virus with a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA genome of 4415 nt. The genome contains five open reading frames (ORF), coding for five proteins with approximate molecular masses of 25, 84, 40, 27 and 14 kDa, respectively. In vitro synthesized PoLV RNA was infectious to Nicotiana benthamiana plants and protoplasts, but could not support replication of ...
متن کاملPlant virus-derived small interfering RNAs originate predominantly from highly structured single-stranded viral RNAs.
RNA silencing is conserved in a broad range of eukaryotes and includes the phenomena of RNA interference in animals and posttranscriptional gene silencing (PTGS) in plants. In plants, PTGS acts as an antiviral system; a successful virus infection requires suppression or evasion of the induced silencing response. Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) accumulate in plants infected with positive-strand ...
