title: [The primary structure of a vaccine strain of tobacco mosaic virus V-69].
abstract: A random set of cDNA fragments were synthesized on genomic RNA of TMV vaccine strain V-69, using random primers and reverse transcriptase. Following synthesis of double-stranded cDNA, they were cloned into the pUC-19 plasmid; and 28 clones were sequenced (insert size 100-500 bp). High nucleotide sequence homology of V-69 (more than 95%) was shown only with tomato strain TMV-L [1]. Sequenced clones represent 54% of the genome (50% of the replicase gene, 98% of the transport protein gene, and 60% of the coat protein gene). In this genome region, 24 base substitutions were revealed, as compared to the wild-type TMV-L sequence. Six base substitutions resulted in changes in corresponding amino acid codons. No substitutions coincided with those discovered in the related TMV vaccine strain L11A [2], while two substitutions in the replicase gene were identical to those found in TMV strain Lta1 [3], which is capable of overcoming protection in tomatoes with the resistance gene Tm-1.
