Abstract

The complete nucleotide sequence of satellite tobacco necrosis virus strain C (STNV-C) was determined. The genome has a similar overall organization to two STNV isolates studied previously but differs significantly from them in the secondary structure of the translated and untranslated regions (UTRs). STNV-C RNA is naturally uncapped and contains 1221 nt: 101 nt in the 5′ UTR, 606 nt in the capsid protein (CP) coding region and 514 nt in the 3′ UTR. Using the known sequences of STNV-C and tobacco necrosis virus strain D (TNV-D) RNAs, full-length cDNA clones of both RNAs were constructed. Synthetic transcripts derived from STNV-C cDNA clones only replicated in plants and protoplasts when co-inoculated with TNV-D transcripts. A number of mutant clones in both the 3′ and the 5′ STNV-C RNA UTRs were constructed which disrupted putative -acting elements recognized by helper virus polymerase. Deletion analysis revealed an essential requirement of all 3′ and 5′ proximal sequences in the STNV-C UTRs for replication. However, an internal region in the 3′ UTR could be deleted without loss of infectivity. Likewise, the entire STNV-C CP-encoding region could be deleted and replaced with a marker gene of a similar size without loss of transcript accumulation in plants.
