Abstract
In this study, we identified a novel mitovirus, designated as "Pleurotus pulmonarius duamitovirus 1" (PpDMV1), from the edible fungus Pleurotus pulmonarius. Genome sequencing revealed a 2,622-nucleotide (nt) genome containing a single 2,001-nt open reading frame (ORF) encoding an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). Full-length genome sequence comparisons using BLASTx demonstrated the closest sequence similarity (56.68% identity) to Erysiphe necator associated mitovirus 15 (EnMV15). Phylogenetic analysis positioned PpDMV1 within the genus Duamitovirus (family Mitoviridae). To our knowledge, this is the first report of a mitovirus infection in P. pulmonarius.
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.
