Abstract
In this study, we identified a new mycotombus-like mycovirus from the phytopathogenic fungus Nigrospora oryzae, which was tentatively designated as "Nigrospora oryzae umbra-like virus 1" (NoULV1). The complete genome of NoULV1 is 3,381 nt long, containing two open reading frames (ORF1 and ORF2). ORF1 encodes a hypothetical protein with an unknown function, while ORF2 encodes an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) with a conserved RdRp domain containing a metal-binding ‘GDN’ triplet in motif C, which is distinct from the ‘GDD’ motif found in most + ssRNA mycoviruses. A homology search revealed that the RdRp encoded by ORF2 was similar to the RdRp of umbra-like mycoviruses. Phylogenetic analysis based on the RdRp indicated that NoULV1 was grouped into a clade together with umbra-like mycoviruses belonging to the proposed family “Mycotombusviridae”.
期刊介绍：
Archives of Virology publishes original contributions from all branches of research on viruses, virus-like agents, and virus infections of humans, animals, plants, insects, and bacteria. Coverage spans a broad spectrum of topics, from descriptions of newly discovered viruses, to studies of virus structure, composition, and genetics, to studies of virus interactions with host cells, organisms and populations. Studies employ molecular biologic, molecular genetics, and current immunologic and epidemiologic approaches. Contents include studies on the molecular pathogenesis, pathophysiology, and genetics of virus infections in individual hosts, and studies on the molecular epidemiology of virus infections in populations. Also included are studies involving applied research such as diagnostic technology development, monoclonal antibody panel development, vaccine development, and antiviral drug development.Archives of Virology wishes to publish obituaries of recently deceased well-known virologists and leading figures in virology.
