| '2a-like' and 'shifty heptamer' motifs in penaeid shrimp infectious myonecrosis virus, a monosegmented double-stranded rna virus. | penaeid shrimp infectious myonecrosis virus (imnv) is a monosegmented double-stranded rna virus that forms icosahedral virions and is tentatively assigned to the family totiviridae. new examinations of the imnv genome sequence revealed features not noted in the original report. these features include (i) two encoded '2a-like' motifs, which are likely involved in open reading frame (orf) 1 polyprotein 'cleavage'; (ii) a 199 nt overlap between the end of orf1 in frame 1 and the start of orf2 in fr ... | 2007 | 17374777 |
| identification and molecular characterization of a new nonsegmented double-stranded rna virus isolated from culex mosquitoes in japan. | two infectious agents were isolated from culex species mosquitoes in japan and were identified as distinct strains of a new rna virus by a method for sequence-independent amplification of viral nucleic acids. the virus designated omono river virus (omrv) replicated in mosquito cells in which it produced a severe cytopathic effect. icosahedral virus particles of approximately 40 nm in diameter were detected in the cytoplasm of infected cells. the omrv genome was observed to consist of a nonsegmen ... | 2010 | 20875466 |
