The complete nucleotide sequence of the RNA 3 of hydrangea mosaic virus (HdMV) was determined. It consists of 2268 nucleotides and contains two open reading frames (ORF). ORF 1 encodes for a putative translation product of 293 amino acids which shared 64.9% identity with the 3a protein of tobacco streak virus (TSV). ORF 2 encodes for a putative translation product of 220 amino acids which shared 54.2% identity with the coat protein of TSV. The relationship between the proteins of HdMV and the corresponding proteins of ilarviruses other than TSV was more distant. No zinc-finger-like motif was found in the coat protein of HdMV but the N-terminus of the protein was rich in basic amino acids. Both terminal, non-coding regions of HdMV RNA 3 contained repeated sequences with corresponding homologous fragments in the RNA 3 of TSV. On the basis of the similarities between HdMV and TSV that we detected, we propose that HdMV be included in subgroup 1 of the genus Ilarvirus together with TSV.
