The whole genome sequence of mulberry crinivirus (MuCV), a novel member of the genus Crinivirus (family Closteroviridae) identified from mulberry (Morus alba L), was determined. The bipartite genome of MuCV consists of RNA1, which contains 8571 nucleotides (nt) with four putative open reading frames (ORFs), and RNA2, which contains 8082 nt with eight putative ORFs. The most striking features exhibited by MuCV are tRNA-like structures at the 5'- and 3' -ends of RNA1, which have not been reported for all known members of the family Closteroviridae. Phylogenetic analysis based on RdRp amino acid sequences of criniviruses placed MuCV in “Group 1”. |
