Abstract
Sequence Relationships of RNA Helicases and Other Proteins Encoded by Blunervirus RNAs Highlight Recombinant Evolutionary Origin of Kitaviral Genomes.
Highlights
Specialty section: This article was submitted to Virology, a section of the journal Frontiers in Microbiology
Members of the kitavirus genera Blunervirus, Cilevirus, and Higrevirus produce in planta bacilliform virus particles and have multipartite genomes composed of two, three, or four RNAs for cile, higre- and bluner-viruses, respectively
Molecular phylogenetic analyses of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) domain or concatenated sequences of methyl transferase (MT), replicative RNA helicase (HEL), and RdRp unambiguously showed that kitaviruses are most closely related to members of family Virgaviridae [this family name is not derived from the name of the type virus, like Bromoviridae, but from Latin word virga, as all viruses in this family are rod-shaped] followed by those of the family Bromoviridae (Quito-Avila et al, 2013; Nunes et al, 2017; Hao et al, 2018; RamosGonzález et al, 2020)
