Long, nearly identical untranslated sequences at the 3′ terminal regions of the genomic RNAs of cherry leafroll virus (walnut strain)

Hybridization analyses of cDNA clones derived from the two genomic RNAs, RNA1 and RNA2, of the walnut strain of the nepovirus cherry leafroll nepovirus (wCLRV) demonstrated a long region of high homology between the two viral RNAs. Subsequent mapping and nucleotide sequencing revealed a long, noncoding, presumably untranslated, region (3′ UTR) immediately 5′ of the terminal polyadenylate, a region that is almost identical in the two RNAs. This 3′ UTR is 1567 nucleotide residues long in RNA1. Homologies of about 80% were found with corresponding regions of genomic RNAs from other strains of CLRV, but not with the corresponding regions of other nepovirus genomic RNAs. © 1995 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
