Computer Analysis between Nucleotide and Amino Acid Sequences of Bean Golden Mosaic Virus and Those of Maize Streak, Wheat Dwarf, Chloris Striate Mosaic, and Beet Curly Top Viruses

Abstract

Bean golden mosaic virus (BGMV) DNA 1 and 2 have little sequence homology with maize streak virus (MSV), wheat dwarf virus (WDV), and chloris striate mosaic virus (CSMV) DNAs. BGMV DNA 1 and beet curly top virus (BCTV) DNA are closely related, whereas BGMV DNA 2 and BCTV DNA are not related. Direct amino acid homologies of predicted proteins between BGMV ORFs and MSV ORFs, WDV ORFs or CSMV ORFs were 40-50%. BGMV 1L1 and BCTV LI, and BGMV 1L3 and BCTV L4 were highly conserved. The sequence TAATATTAC was detected in the loops of hairpin structures of 5 geminiviruses. © 1989, Center For Academic Publications Japan. All rights reserved.
