DNA complementary to the 3' terminal 1651 nucleotides of the genome of the common strain of lettuce mosaic virus (LMV-O) has been cloned and sequenced. Microsequencing of the N-terminus enabled localization of the coat protein gene in this sequence. It showed also that the LMV coat protein coding region is at the 3' end of the genome, and that the coat protein is processed from a larger protein by cleavage at an unusual Q/V dipeptide between the polymerase and the coat protein. This is the first report of such a site for cleavage of a potyvirus polyprotein, where only Q/A, Q/S, and Q/G cleavage sites have been reported. The LMV coat protein gene encodes a 278 amino acid polypeptide with a calculated Mr of 31,171 and is flanked by a region which has a high degree of homology with the putative polymerase and a 3' untranslated region of 211 nucleotides in length. Percentage of homology with the coat protein of other potyviruses confirms that LMV is a distinct member of this group. Moreover, amino acid homologies noticed with the coat protein of potexvirus, bymovirus, and carlavirus elongated plant viruses suggest a functional significance for the conserved domains.

D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D004259 DNA-Directed DNA Polymerase DNA-dependent DNA polymerases found in bacteria, animal and plant cells. During the replication process, these enzymes catalyze the addition of deoxyribonucleotide residues to the end of a DNA strand in the presence of DNA as template-primer. They also possess exonuclease activity and therefore function in DNA repair.
