摘要

Here, we describe a novel ourmia-like virus, Botryosphaeria dothidea ourmia-like virus 3 (BdOLV3), obtained from the phytopathogenic fungus Botryosphaeria dothidea strain ZM211299-2 infecting apple shoots in Shandong province of China. The genome of BdOLV3 is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA with a length of 2,650 nucleotides (nt), containing a large open reading frame (ORF) that encodes a putative RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) consisting of 673 amino acids (aa) with a molecular mass of 75.53 kDa. This RdRp protein contains eight typical conserved motifs associated with ourmia-like viruses. BLASTp analysis revealed that the RdRp protein of BdOLV3 had the highest similarity (61.98%, 61.83%, and 51.47% identity, respectively) to viruses previously identified as Plasmopara viticola lesion associated ourmia-like virus 45, Erysiphe necator associated ourmia-like virus 130, and Magnaporthe oryzae botourmiavirus 7. Phylogenetic analysis based on RdRp sequences indicated that BdOLV3 is a new member of the genus Epsilonscleroulivirus in the family Botourmiaviridae. This is the first report of the complete genomic sequence of a member of the genus Epsilonscleroulivirus found in B. dothidea.
