More recent data, including a complete genome sequence (Ziegler et al., 2009) has shown that it is most closely related to Panicum mosaic virus (PMV; the type – and currently the only- member of the genus Panicovirus, family Tombusviridae). This is demonstrated by its genome structure (Fig. 1), phylogenetic analyses (Figs. 2-4), and sequence identity in the polymerase and coat proteins (Table 1). The two viruses are serologically distinct and share only 54% amino acid sequence identity in the polymerase and 35% identity in the coat protein (Table 1). As a monotypic genus, there are no formal species demarcation criteria but in line with other genera in the family we suggest that less than 70% amino acid sequence identity in the polymerase and less than 40% in the coat protein would justify a new species.

Belozersky Institute of Physico-Chemical Biology, Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia 2 Department of Virology, Biological Faculty, Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia 3 Institute of Molecular Medicine, Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University, Moscow, Russia * Correspondence: E-mail: [email protected]; Tel: +74959393198. Abstract: Most plant viruses code for movement proteins (MPs) targeting plasmodesmata to enable cell-to-cell and systemic spread in infected plants. Small membrane-embedded MPs have been first identified in two viral transport gene modules, triple gene block (TGB) coding for an RNA-binding helicase TGB1 and two small hydrophobic proteins TGB2 and TGB3 and double gene block (DGB) encoding two small polypeptides representing an RNA-binding protein and a membrane protein. These findings indicated that movement gene modules composed of two or more cistrons may encode the nucleic acid-binding protein and at least one membrane-bound movement protein. The same rule was revealed for small DNA-containing plant viruses, namely, viruses belonging to genus Mastrevirus (family Geminiviridae) and the family Nanoviridae. In multi-component transport modules the nucleic acid-binding MP can be viral capsid protein(s), as in RNA-containing viruses of the families Closteroviridae and Potyviridae. However, membrane proteins are always found among MPs of these multicomponent viral transport systems.

Satellite 13 viruses have been described in animals, protists and plants. Satellite viruses replicating in plants 14 have small icosahedral virions and encapsidate positive-sense RNA genomes carrying a single gene 15 for the capsid protein. Thus, for genome replication these viruses necessarily depend on helper 16 viruses which can belong to different families.

  • Preliminary Analysis of Crystals of Panicum Mosaic Virus
    research papers Acta Crystallographica Section D Biological Preliminary analysis of crystals of panicum mosaic Crystallography virus (PMV) by X-ray diffraction and atomic force ISSN 0907-4449 microscopy Debora L. Makino, Steven B. Panicum mosaic virus (PMV), a spherical virus of diameter Received 20 September 2004 Larson and Alexander about 300 AÊ , has been crystallized in a form suitable for high- Accepted 24 November 2004 McPherson* resolution structural analysis. The crystals were grown from 15% PEG 400 at room temperature and could be ¯ash-frozen directly from their mother liquor. The crystals diffracted to University of California at Irvine, Department of beyond 2.7 AÊ resolution. A data set was collected at 100 K to Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, Ê J. Appl. Cryst. 560 Steinhaus Hall, Irvine, CA 92697-3900, an effective resolution of 3.2 A [Weiss (2001), USA 34, 130±135]. The crystals belonged to space group P21, with unit-cell parameters a = 411.7, b = 403.9, c = 412.5 AÊ , = 89.7. Self-rotation functions and molecular replacement with Correspondence e-mail: [email protected] tobacco necrosis virus as the probe model yielded tentative positions and orientations for the two entire virus particles comprising the asymmetric unit and implied a pseudo-face- centered cubic packing arrangement. Investigation of lightly glutaraldehyde-®xed crystals in water using atomic force microscopy con®rms the packing arrangement given by the molecular-replacement result. The images also show that contaminating virions of the satellite virus to PMV, known as satellite panicum mosaic virus (SPMV), can be incorporated into the PMV crystals by insertion into the interstices between PMV virions in the lattice.
