Nucleotide sequence of black currant reversion associated nepovirus RNA1.
The RNA1 of black currant reversion associated nepovirus (BRAV) is 7711 nucleotides (nt) long, excluding the poly-A tail, and contains one long open reading frame (ORF) which is translated into a polyprotein of 2094 amino acids. The 5' NTR of BRAV RNA1 is 66 nt long and 78% identical with RNA2 5' NTR only over the first 57 nucleotides. The 3' non-translated region (3'NTR) is 1360 nucleotides long, and after the first 24 nucleotides 95% identical with the 3'NTR of RNA2. RNA1 3'NTR contains several stretches, 694-24 nucleotides in length, which are 60-80% similar to corresponding areas of the other viruses of the subgroup c of nepoviruses (BLMV, CLRV, PRMV or TomRSV). The 2094 amino acids-long polypeptide encoded by BRAV RNA1 is 33% identical with that of PRMV between amino acids 9 and 2057, and has significant similarity also to those of other nepoviruses and comoviruses. Conserved amino acid motifs, characteristic for the viral protease co-factor, the NTP-binding protein, the cysteine protease and the RdRp core domains, known to occur in the polyproteins of different viruses of the picornavirus-like supergroup, are all detected in the amino acid sequences encoded by BRAV RNA1.
