Virus-like particles (VLPs, named HmTV1-17), about 40 nm in diameter were found in the violet root rot fungus Helicobasidium mompa Tanaka strain No. 17, which had been isolated from an apple tree. Purified preparations of HmTV1-17 contained two species of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), designated 17L and 17S. cDNAs were constructed from HmTV1-17 genomic dsRNAs purified using CF-11 cellulose column chromatography. The sequences of 17L and 17S cDNA comprised 5,207 and 2,096 bp, respectively. Although 17S has no large open reading flame (ORF) on either strand, 17L has two large overlapping ORFs. The 5' located ORF1 encodes the coat protein (CP, 788 amino acids), whereas the gene product of ORF2, which is in the -1 frame relative to ORF1, shows the typical features of a RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RDRP, 845 amino acids). Phylogenetic analysis based on RDRP showed that HmTV1-17 is closely related to Sphaeropsis sapinea SsRV1, a member of the genus Totivirus from filamentous fungus S. sapinea.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D008969 Molecular Sequence Data Descriptions of specific amino acid, carbohydrate, or nucleotide sequences which have appeared in the published literature and/or are deposited in and maintained by databanks such as GENBANK, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), National Biomedical Research Foundation (NBRF), or other sequence repositories. Sequence Data, Molecular,Molecular Sequencing Data,Data, Molecular Sequence,Data, Molecular Sequencing,Sequencing Data, Molecular
D010935 Plant Diseases Diseases of plants. Disease, Plant,Diseases, Plant,Plant Disease
D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. Molecular Cloning
D000595 Amino Acid Sequence The order of amino acids as they occur in a polypeptide chain. This is referred to as the primary structure of proteins. It is of fundamental importance in determining PROTEIN CONFORMATION.

D001487 Basidiomycota A phylum of fungi that produce their sexual spores (basidiospores) on the outside of the basidium. It includes forms commonly known as mushrooms, boletes, puffballs, earthstars, stinkhorns, bird's-nest fungi, jelly fungi, bracket or shelf fungi, and rust and smut fungi.

D012324 RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase An enzyme that catalyses RNA-template-directed extension of the 3'- end of an RNA strand by one nucleotide at a time, and can initiate a chain de novo.

D012330 RNA, Double-Stranded RNA consisting of two strands as opposed to the more prevalent single-stranded RNA. Most of the double-stranded segments are formed from transcription of DNA by intramolecular base-pairing of inverted complementary sequences separated by a single-stranded loop. Some double-stranded segments of RNA are normal in all organisms. Double-Stranded RNA,Double Stranded RNA,RNA, Double Stranded
D012367 RNA, Viral Ribonucleic acid that makes up the genetic material of viruses. Viral RNA
D014197 Trees Woody, usually tall, perennial higher plants (Angiosperms, Gymnosperms, and some Pterophyta) having usually a main stem and numerous branches. Tree
