The complete genomic sequence of galinsoga mosaic virus (GaMV) was determined. The genome consists of 3,803 nucleotides and has five open reading frames (ORFs). The 5' ORF (ORF 1) encodes a protein with predicted molecular mass of 23 kDa and readthrough of its amber stop codon probably yields a 82 kDa protein (ORF 2). ORFs 3 and 4 encode two polypeptides with molecular masses of 8 and 7 kDa, respectively. ORF 5 encodes the 36 kDa capsid protein. Amino acid sequence comparisons revealed that the nonstructural proteins encoded by ORFs 1, 3, and 4 were more similar to the corresponding gene products of tobacco necrosis virus, strain A, than to those of carmoviruses. Conversely, the coat protein was more similar to that of tombusviruses. The readthrough region of the viral replicase (ORF 2) had high sequence homology with that of carmo-, tombus-, and necroviruses. Computer analysis of the protein encoded by ORF 1 as well as of the corresponding product of turnip crinkle (TCV) and melon necrotic spot (MNSV) carmoviruses revealed the presence of a sequence with local hydrophobicity and hydrophobic moment characteristic of mitochondrial targeting sequence which may explain the origin of the carmovirus-induced multivesicular bodies from mitochondria.

D010944	Plants	Multicellular, eukaryotic life forms of kingdom Plantae. Plants acquired chloroplasts by direct endosymbiosis of CYANOBACTERIA. They are characterized by a mainly photosynthetic mode of nutrition; essentially unlimited growth at localized regions of cell divisions (MERISTEMS); cellulose within cells providing rigidity; the absence of organs of locomotion; absence of nervous and sensory systems; and an alternation of haploid and diploid generations. It is a non-taxonomical term most often referring to LAND PLANTS. In broad sense it includes RHODOPHYTA and GLAUCOPHYTA along with VIRIDIPLANTAE.	Plant
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.
