Nucleotide Sequence of Papaya Mosaic Virus RNA

Department of Botany, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario M5S 3B2, Canada

The RNA genome of papaya mosaic virus is 6656 nucleotides long [excluding the poly(A) tail] with six open reading frames (ORFs) more than 200 nucleotides long. The four nearest the 5' end each overlap with adjacent ORFs and could code for proteins with M_r 176307, 26248, 11949 and 7224 (ORFs 1 to 4). The fifth ORF produces the capsid protein of M_r 23043 and the sixth ORF, located completely within ORF 1, could code for a protein with M_r 14113. The translation products of ORFs 1 to 3 show strong similarity with those of other potexviruses but the ORF 4 protein has only limited similarity with the other potexvirus ORF 4 proteins of 7K to 11K.

Keywords: PMV, nucleotide sequence, potexvirus
