Complete Nucleotide Sequence of RNA 3 from Cucumber Mosaic Virus (CMV) Strain O: Comparative Study of Nucleotide Sequences and Amino Acid Sequences among CMV Strains O, Q, D and Y Hayakawa, Takahiko and Mizukami, Makoto and Nakajima, Midori and Suzuki, Masahiko,, 70, 499-504 (1989), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/0022-1317-70-2-499, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 0022-1317, abstract= SUMMARY The complete nucleotide sequence (2217 residues) of RNA 3 of cucumber mosaic virus strain O (CMV-O) was determined. Two open reading frames were identified, encoding a 3A protein (279 amino acid residues) in the 5′-proximal region and a coat protein (218 amino acid residues). The amino acid sequence of the coat protein C terminus was determined directly from purified protein, and confirmed the presence of the coat protein open reading frame in CMV-O RNA 3. Comparison of nucleotide sequences and amino acid sequences of CMV strains O, Q, D and Y indicated the close relationship between these strains. A tRNA-like structure could be adopted by the 3′ non-coding region, and this resembled a similar structure in CMV-Q in spite of nucleotide substitutions or deletions., language=, type=
