| identification of a maize chlorotic dwarf virus silencing suppressor protein. | maize chlorotic dwarf virus (mcdv), a member of the genus waikavirus, family secoviridae, has a 11784 nt (+)ssrna genome that encodes a 389kda proteolytically processed polyprotein. we show that the n-terminal 78kda polyprotein (r78) of mcdv acts as a suppressor of rna silencing in a well-established assay system. we further demonstrate that r78 is cleaved by the viral 3c-like protease into 51 and 27kda proteins (p51 and p27), and that p51 is responsible for silencing suppressor activity. silenc ... | 2017 | 28160664 |
| complete genome sequence of bellflower vein chlorosis virus, a novel putative member of the genus waikavirus. | the complete genome sequence of a new virus isolated from a bellflower (campanula takesimana) plant was determined. the genome of this virus is composed of monopartite single-stranded rna of 11,649 nucleotides in length. blast searches of protein databases showed that the encoded polyprotein has a maximum amino acid sequence identity of 42% (with 99% coverage) to the polyprotein of the isolate orissa of rice tungro spherical virus (rtsv; genus waikavirus). phylogenetic analysis strongly supports ... | 2015 | 26370789 |
