| sequence analysis of genome segments s4 and s8 of mal de río cuarto virus (mrcv): evidence that the virus should be a separate fijivirus species. | this is the first sequence-based characterization of mal de río cuarto virus (mrcv), currently classified as a variant of maize rough dwarf virus (mrdv) and exclusively found in south america. we sequenced and analyzed genome segments s4 and s8. mrcv s4 coded for a putative 131.67 kda protein while mrcv s8 coded for a putative 68.26 kda protein containing an atp/gtp-binding motif. the 5' and 3' ends of mrcv segments, were 5'aaguuuuu3' and 5'cagcunnnguc3', respectively. prediction of secondary st ... | 2002 | 12209310 |
| sequence and phylogenetic analysis of genome segments s1, s2, s3 and s6 of mal de río cuarto virus, a newly accepted fijivirus species. | mal de río cuarto virus (mrcv) is a newly described species of the genus fijivirus, family reoviridae. the nucleotide sequence of four mrcv genome segments was determined. mrcv s1, s2, s3 and s6 were predicted to encode proteins of 168.4, 134.4, 141.7 and 90 kda, respectively. mrcv s1 encodes a basic protein that contains conserved rna-dependent rna polymerase motifs, and is homologous to rice black streaked dwarf virus (rbsdv), fiji disease virus (fdv) and nilaparvata lugens reovirus (nlrv) pol ... | 2003 | 12606083 |
