Complete nucleotide sequence of the RNA2 of the crinivirus Tomato chlorosis virus
Archives of Virology 151 (3), 581-587
Abstract: The complete sequence of genomic RNA2 of Tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV; genus Crinivirus, family Closteroviridae), isolate AT80/99 from Spain, was determined and compared with those from the other members of the genus sequenced to date. RNA2 is 8244 nucleotides (nt) long and putatively encodes nine ORFs that encompass the hallmark gene array of the family Closteroviridae, which includes a heat shock protein 70 family homologue, a 59 kDa protein, the coat protein, and a diverged coat protein. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed assignment of ToCV in the genus Crinivirus, being most similar to sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus and cucurbit yellow stunting disorder virus.
