Nucleotide sequence of the coat protein coding region of the potyvirus tobacco vein-banding mosaic virus.
The sequence of the 3' 1184 nucleotides of tobacco vein-banding mosaic virus (TVBMV) genome has been determined. It contains a single open reading frame which encompasses the whole of the coat protein of TVBMV. The sequence of the first 20 amino acids at the N-terminal region of the coat protein has also been determined chemically to be GDDQTVDAGKNVQSNQKQRN. The sequence matches the translation product of the open reading frame starting with amino acid-271; a glycine residue. Thus the coat protein of TVBMV has a calculated M(r) of 30,210. The 3' non-coding region of TVBMV is 185 nucleotides in length. Sequence alignment of the coat proteins or the 3' non-coding regions from TVBMV and other reported potyviruses indicated that TVBMV is a separate species of the potyvirus genus.
