Abstract
ABSTRACTWe report the complete genome sequences of Rusa timorensis papillomavirus 1 (RtimPV1) and Rusa timorensis papillomavirus 2 (RtimPV2), isolated from hair follicles of asymptomatic skin from the same Timor deer specimen. RtimPV1 and RtimPV2 are evolutionarily only distantly related. RtimPV1 lacks a canonical E2-binding site, and RtimPV2 does not carry an E6 gene.
Highlights
We report the complete genome sequences of Rusa timorensis papillomavirus 1 (RtimPV1) and Rusa timorensis papillomavirus 2 (RtimPV2), isolated from hair follicles of asymptomatic skin from the same Timor deer specimen
We retrieved two complete PV genomes from the same skin sample of the R. timorensis individual, here named Rusa timorensis papillomavirus 1 (RtimPV1) and Rusa timorensis papillomavirus 2 (RtimPV2). Both viral genomes display the standard features of PVs, with a long control region; the early genes E7, E1, and E2; and the late genes L2 and L1
Phylogenetic inference unambiguously places RtimPV2 basal to Epsilonpapillomavirus and Deltapapillomavirus, within the Delta ϩ Zeta PV supergroup, which includes PVs isolated from giraffes and camels, as well as from different bovid and deer species [11]
Summary
We report the complete genome sequences of Rusa timorensis papillomavirus 1 (RtimPV1) and Rusa timorensis papillomavirus 2 (RtimPV2), isolated from hair follicles of asymptomatic skin from the same Timor deer specimen. We retrieved two complete PV genomes from the same skin sample of the R. timorensis individual, here named Rusa timorensis papillomavirus 1 (RtimPV1) (isolate IZW 39/08) and Rusa timorensis papillomavirus 2 (RtimPV2) (isolate IZW 39/08). Both viral genomes display the standard features of PVs, with a long control region; the early genes E7, E1, and E2; and the late genes L2 and L1.
