Genomic characterization of a novel gammapartitivirus infecting the phytopathogenic fungus Colletotrichum cliviicola
摘要
In this study, we isolated a novel double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) mycovirus from the phytopathogenic fungus Colletotrichum cliviicola, designated as "Colletotrichum cliviicola partitivirus 1" (CcPV1). The complete genome of CcPV1 comprises two dsRNA fragments, referred to as dsRNA1 and dsRNA2, which are 1,756 bp and 1,485 bp in length, respectively. Each dsRNA segment contains an open reading frame (ORF), with the larger ORF1 in dsRNA 1 encoding the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) and the smaller ORF2 in dsRNA 2 encoding the capsid protein (CP). Sequence comparisons revealed that the RdRp of CcPV1 shares the highest amino acid sequence identity (76.35%) with the RdRp of Nigrospora sphaerica partitivirus 1 (NsPV1). Phylogenetic analysis based on both RdRp and CP sequences indicated that CcPV1 is a member of the genus Gammapartitivirus of the family Partitiviridae. This is the first report of a gammapartitivirus in C. cliviicola.
