Nucleotide sequence of the coat protein gene of pea seed-borne mosaic potyvirus. 1990

Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, Christchurch, New Zealand.

The nucleotide sequence of a 1355 bp cDNA representing the 3'-terminal sequences of pea seed-borne mosaic virus (PSbMV) was determined. This sequence contained a single long open reading frame (ORF) of 1189 bp ending with a single TAA termination codon. Downstream from the ORF was an untranslatable region of 189 bp followed by eight bp of polyadenylate. The probable location of the PSbMV coat protein codons within the long ORF was determined by comparing the inferred amino acid sequence with other potyviral coat protein sequences and by examining the sequence for a potyviral polyprotein cleavage cassette sequence. Direct chemical sequencing of the PSbMV coat protein revealed it to be blocked at its amino terminus. A partial amino acid sequence representing the N terminus of the protease-resistant core of the coat protein was determined, however. Alignment of the PSbMV coat protein sequence and the sequences of seven other potyviral coat proteins revealed significant homology, ranging from 53.7% for potato virus Y strain D to 43.2% for tobacco vein mottling virus.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007887	Fabaceae	The large family of plants characterized by pods. Some are edible and some cause LATHYRISM or FAVISM and other forms of poisoning. Other species yield useful materials like gums from ACACIA and various LECTINS like PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS from PHASEOLUS. Many of them harbor NITROGEN FIXATION bacteria on their roots. Many but not all species of "beans" belong to this family.

D002213	Capsid	The outer protein protective shell of a virus, which protects the viral nucleic acid. Capsids are composed of repeating units (capsomers or capsomeres) of CAPSID PROTEINS which when assembled together form either an icosahedral or helical shape.	Procapsid,Prohead,Capsids,Procapsids,Proheads
D004247	DNA	A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
