Complete genome sequence of a novel narnavirus with inverted complementary termini from the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae isolate NJ471
摘要
A novel single-stranded (+ss) RNA mycovirus, designated as "Magnaporthe oryzae narnavirus 2" (MoNV2), was identified in the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae isolate NJ471. MoNV2 has an RNA genome of 3,086 nucleotides, which contains a single open reading frame (ORF) that is predicted to encode an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). Genome sequence comparisons and phylogenetic analysis suggested that MoNV2 is a new member of the genus Narnavirus of the family Narnaviridae. The 5' and 3' ends of the MoNV2 genomic RNA are complementary to each other, potentially forming a panhandle structure.
