Insights into the Differential Composition of Stem-Loop Structures of Nanoviruses and Their Impacts.

ABSTRACT: Multipartite viruses package their genomic segments independently and mainly infect plants; few of them target animals. Nanoviridae is a family of multipartite single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) plant viruses that individually encapsidate ssDNAs of ~1 kb and transmit them through aphids without replication in aphid vectors, thereby causing important diseases in host plants, mainly leguminous crops. All of these components constitute an open reading frame to perform a specific role in nanovirus infection. All segments contain conserved inverted repeat sequences, potentially forming a stem-loop structure and a conserved nonanucleotide, TAGTATTAC, within a common region. This study investigated the variations in the stem-loop structure of nanovirus segments and their impact using molecular dy
