Analysis of nucleotide sequence of wheat yellow mosaic virus genomic RNAs

Wheat yellow mosaic virus (WYMV) isolate HC was used for viral cDNA synthesis and sequencing. The results show that the viral RNA1 is 7629 nueleotides encoding a polyprotein with 2407 amino acids, from which seven putative proteins may be produced by an autolytie cleavage processing besides the viral coat protein. The RNA2 is 3639 nueleotides and codes for a polypretein of 903 amino acids, which may contain two putative non-structural proteins. Although WYMV shares a similarity in genetic organization to wheat spindle streak mosaic virus (WSSMV), the identities in their nucleotide sequences or deduced amino acid sequences are as low as 70% and 75 % respectively. Based on this result, it is confirmed that WYMV and WSSMV are different species within Bymovirus.     

云南五个不同地区烟草花叶病毒外壳蛋白基因的序列比较

Five Tobacco mosaic virus isolates, obtained from tobacco leaves showing typical symptom in Qujing, Honghe, Dali, Chuxiong and Yuxi in Yunnan province, were selected and studied from 637 TMV samples. Using a pair of primers specific for TMV-U1 strain, a specific fragment of 530bp including the TMV coat protein gene was amplified using IC-PCR. The products of PCR were cloned and sequenced. The nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the coat protein of the five isolates were found to be very similar each other and have more than 90% sequence identity with TMV-U1, TMV-B,TMV-P, TMV-FUJIAN, although minor differences existed among them. The results showed that the five isolates from Yunnan province belong toTMV-U1 strain.     

Complete nucleotide sequences of the coat protein messenger RNAs of brome mosaic virus and cowpea chlorotic mottle virus

The nucleotide sequences of the subgenomic coat protein messengers (RNA4's) of two related bromoviruses, brome mosaic virus (BMV) and cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV), have been determined by direct RNA and CDNA sequencing without cloning. BMV RNA4 is 876 b long including a 5' noncoding region of nine nucleotides and a 3' noncoding region of 300 nucleotides. CCMV RNA 4 is 824 b long, including a 5' noncoding region of 10 nucleotides and a 3' noncoding region of 244 nucleotides. The encoded coat proteins are similar in length (188 amino acids for BMV and 189 amino acids for CCMV) and display about 70% homology in their amino acid sequences. Length difference between the two RNAs is due mostly to a single deletion, in CCMV with respect to BMV, of about 57 b immediately following the coding region. Allowing for this deletion the RNAs are indicate that mutations leading to divergence were constrained in the coding region primarily by the requirement of maintaining a favorable coat protein structure and in the 3' noncoding region primarily by the requirement of maintaining a favorable RNA spatial configuration.     

DNA sequence of the viral and cellular src gene of chickens. II. Comparison of the src genes of two strains of avian sarcoma virus and of the cellular homolog

The nucleotide sequence of the src gene and flanking regions of the Schmidt-Ruppin strain of Rous sarcoma virus (SR-A) was determined. The src region of SR-A was very homologous to that of recovered avian sarcoma virus (rASV1441), with only 17 differences among 1,578 nucleotides. The size of the predicted protein was 526 amino acids in both viruses, of which 6 amino acids were different. The differences in nucleotides and amino acids between the two viruses localized within the 5' two-thirds of the src coding region. There were also viruses localized within the 5' two-thirds of the src coding region. There were also some differences in the region flanking the 5' end of src. Since rASVs are considered to be recombinatns between deletion mutants of SR-A and cellular-src (c-src) sequences, several segments of c-src DNA were also sequenced to understand the molecular basis for the recombination. At 14 of 17 bases where SR-A and rASV1441 differed, rASV1441 had the same sequence as c-src. Three of these sequences corresponded to sequences of oligonucleotides which were previously identified in RNAs of nearly all isolates of rASV but which were absent in SR-A RNA. In the 5'-flanking sequences of the src gene, c-src was more similar to rASV1441 than to SR-A. These results confirm the cellular origin of the src sequences of rASVs and provide information about the possible sites of the recombination.     

Variation in the Coat Protein Gene of Papaya ringspot Virus Isolates from Multiple Locations of China

The potyvirus Papaya ringspot virus （PRSV） is an important pathogen of papaya that causes severe losses in economic crops for papaya production globally. The coat protein （CP） genes of five PRSV isolates originating from different locations in China were cloned and sequenced. The CP-coding region varied in size from 864-873 nucleotides, encoding proteins of 288-291 amino acids. The five Chinese isolates of PRSV have been characterized as papaya-infecting （PRSV-P）. The CP sequences of the Chinese isolates were compared with those of previously published PRSV isolates originating from different countries at amino acid levels. A number of KE repeat boxes in the N terminus of the PRSV-CP were found in all Chinese isolates. The phylogenetic branching pattern revealed that there was certain extended grouping between geographic locations, and the Asian type probably represents the oldest population of PRSV. The information of CP genes will be useful in designing and developing durable virus resistant-PRSV transgenic papaya in China. Meanwhile broad-spectrum-virus resistant, strongly resistant-PRSV and good safe papaya lines are required.

Genomic and cDNA cloning, characterization of Delonix regia trypsin inhibitor (DrTI) gene, and expression of DrTI in Escherichia coli

Degenerate primers were designed based on all possible sequences of the N-terminal and C-terminal regions of Delonix regia trypsin inhibitor (DrTI). Five hundred sixty-one bp of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) product was amplified using the above degenerate primers and genomic DNA and cDNA of Delonix regia as a template. The amplified PCR products were cloned and sequenced. DNA sequence analysis of cDNA and genomic clones of DrTI have the same nucleotide sequence in the coding region, and manifested a genomic clone without intervening sequences in the coding region. The amino acid sequence deduced from the DrTI genomic and cDNA clones agreed with that identified via amino acid sequencing analysis, except that two amino acid residues, Ser and Lys, existed between residues Lys141 and Ser142. DrTI open reading frame was then amplified and cloned in-frame with GST in pGEX4T-1 and overexpressed in Escherichia coli to yield a glutathione S-transferase (GST)-fusion protein with a calculated molecular mass of about 45 kDa. The recombinant DrTI (reDrTI) was derived by treating the GST-DrTI fusion protein with thrombin. Both the reDrTI and GST-DrTI fusion protein exhibited a strong identical inhibitory effect on trypsin activity.     

Determination of the complete amino acid sequence for the coat protein of brome mosaic virus by time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Evidence for mutations associated with change of propagation host

Time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOFMS) has been applied to determine the complete coat protein amino acid sequences of a number of distinct brome mosaic virus (BMV) isolates. Ionization was carried out by both electrospray ionization and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI). After determining overall coat protein masses, the proteins were digested with trypsin or Lys-C proteinases, and the digestion products were analyzed in a MALDI QqTOF mass spectrometer. The N terminus of the coat protein was found to be acetylated in each BMV isolate analyzed. In one isolate (BMV-Valverde), the amino acid sequence was identical to that predicted from the cDNA sequence of the "type" isolate, but deviations from the predicted amino acid sequence were observed for all the other isolates analyzed. When isolates were propagated in different host taxa, modified coat protein sequences were observed in some cases, along with the original sequence. Sequencing by TOFMS may therefore provide a basis for monitoring the effects of host passaging on a virus at the molecular level. Such TOFMS-based analyses assess the complete profiles of coat protein sequences actually present in infected tissues. They are therefore not subject to the selection biases inherent in deducing such sequences from reverse-transcribed viral RNA and cloning the resulting cDNA.

Actin gene family of Caenorhabditis elegans

Four actin genes have been isolated from Caenorhabditis elegans that account for all of the major actin hybridization to total genomic DNA. Actin genes I, II and III are clustered within a 12 X 10(3) base region; gene IV is unlinked to the others. All four genes have been sequenced from at least nucleotide -109 to +250. Genes I and III are identical for the first 307 coding nucleotides. Genes I and II differ in 14 positions within the first 250 coding nucleotides; one difference substitutes an aspartic acid for a glutamic acid at codon 5. Genes I and IV differ in 18 positions within the first 259 coding nucleotides without causing any amino acid differences. Genes I, II and III have introns after the first nucleotide of codon 64 and gene IV has an intron between codons 19 and 20. The four nucleotide sequences thus far define two different amino acid sequences. Both of the amino acid sequences resemble vertebrate cytoplasmic actin more than vertebrate muscle actin. A DNA polymorphism between the Bristol and Bergerac strains has been used as a phenotypic marker in genetic crosses to map the cluster of actin genes within a 2% recombination interval on linkage group V between unc-23 and sma-1 in order to begin a molecular genetic analysis of the actin loci.     

DNA sequences of the cysB regions of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli

Nucleotide sequences of the cysB region of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli have been determined and compared. A total of 1759 nucleotides were sequenced in S. typhimurium and 1840 in E. coli. Both contain a 972-nucleotide open reading frame identified as the coding region for the cysB regulatory protein on the basis of sequence homology and by comparison of the deduced amino acid sequences with known physicochemical properties of this protein. The DNA sequence identity for the cysB coding region in the two species is 80.5%. The deduced amino acid sequences are 95% identical. The predicted cysB polypeptide molecular weights are 36,013 for S. typhimurium and 36,150 for E. coli. For both proteins a helix-turn-helix region similar to that found in other DNA-binding proteins is predicted from the deduced amino acid sequence. Sequences upstream to cysB contain open reading frames which represent the carboxyl-terminal end of the topA gene product, DNA topoisomerase I. A pattern of highly conserved nucleotide sequences in the 151 nucleotides immediately preceding the cysB initiator codon in both species suggests that this region may contain multiple signals for the regulation of cysB expression.
