| Abstract: The genome sequence of a closterovirus (genus Closterovirus, family Closteroviridae), tentatively named Thesium chinense closterovirus 1 (TcCV1), was identified by performing high-throughput RNA-sequencing of the haustoria and root tissues of Thesium chinense, a parasitic plant. The TcCV1 genome was predicted to encode nine proteins, eight of which have orthologs in previously identified closteroviruses. The TcCV1 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) and heat shock protein 70 homolog (Hsp70h) showed 27.8–68.2% and 23.8–55.1% amino acid identity, respectively, to orthologous proteins of known closteroviruses. The putative +1 ribosomal frameshifting site required for producing RdRp was identified as GUUUAGC with UAG stop codon and the skipped nucleotide U. Phylogenetic trees based on RdRp and Hsp70h show that TcCV1 is a novel member of the genus Closterovirus, forming a subclade with a group of known closteroviruses, including mint virus 1 and carnation necrotic fleck virus. The genome sequence of TcCV1 may be useful for studying the genome evolution of closteroviruses. |
