Long, nearly identical untranslated sequences at the 3' terminal regions of the genomic RNAs of cherry leafroll virus (walnut strain)

Virus Genes. 1995;10(3):245-52. doi: 10.1007/BF01701814.

Abstract

Hybridization analyses of cDNA clones derived from the two genomic RNAs, RNA1 and RNA2, of the walnut strain of the nepovirus cherry leafroll nepovirus (wCLRV) demonstrated a long region of high homology between the two viral RNAs. Subsequent mapping and nucleotide sequencing revealed a long, noncoding, presumably untranslated, region (3' UTR) immediately 5' of the terminal polyadenylate, a region that is almost identical in the two RNAs. This 3' UTR is 1567 nucleotide residues long in RNA1. Homologies of about 80% were found with corresponding regions of genomic RNAs from other strains of CLRV, but not with the corresponding regions of other nepovirus genomic RNAs.
