H.YR 1991 T1 Nucleotide sequence of raspberry bushy dwarf virus RNA-3 JF Journal of General Virology, VO 72 IS 2 SP 469 OP 472 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/0022-1317-72-2-469 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1465-2099, AB A nucleotide sequence is reported for RNA-3, the smallest of the three major RNA species found in particles of raspberry bushy dwarf virus (RBDV). The sequence of 946 nucleotides contains a single large open reading frame which encodes an M r 30509 polypeptide. In vitro translation of RNA-3 yielded an M r 30000 product that reacted specifically with antiserum to RBDV particles and we conclude that the amino acid sequence deduced from the sequence of RNA-3 is that of the RBDV coat protein, or an immediate precursor of it. No affinities were detected by comparing the nucleotide sequence of RNA-3 with the sequences of other plant viruses., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jgv/10.1099/0022-1317-72-2-469
