Abstract |
We have characterized the bisegmented genome of a novel double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) virus isolated from the plant pathogenic fungus Verticillium albo-atrum. We determined that its larger segment (dsRNA1) was 1747 base pairs in length and potentially encoded an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of 539 amino acids, whereas the smaller segment (dsRNA2) was 1517 base pairs long and was predicted to encode a capsid protein of 435 amino acids. Homology searches and phylogenetic analysis confirmed that, as expected from its dsRNA banding profile, the identified virus was a new member of the family Partitiviridae, and we have therefore designated it V. a lbo- a trum partitivirus 1 (VaaPV1). This is the first report of a mycovirus identified in V. albo-atrum. |
