Abstract:
The complete genome sequence (9,858 nucleotides) of the Passion fruit woodiness virus isolate MU-2 was determined using Illumina sequencing. The large open reading frame (ORF) encodes a polyprotein containing 3,086 amino acids, with an AUG start codon and UAA stop codon. The polyprotein yielded 11 proteins (P1, HC-Pro, P3, PIPO, 6K1, CI, 6K2, NIa-VPg, NIa-Pro, NIb and CP). Putative cleavage sites between them were identified by sequence comparison to those of other known potyviruses. Accuracy of the genome sequence information was provided by 42-1691-fold sequence coverage, and viral RNA accounted for 7.38% of total polyadenylated RNA from the host plant.
