The coat protein （CP） genes of five PRSV isolates originating from different locations in China were cloned and sequenced. The CP-coding region varied in size from 864-873 nucleotides, encoding proteins of 288-291 amino acids. The five Chinese isolates of PRSV have been characterized as papaya-infecting （PRSV-P）. The CP sequences of the Chinese isolates were compared with those of previously published PRSV isolates originating from different countries at amino acid levels. A number of KE repeat boxes in the N terminus of the PRSV-CP were found in all Chinese isolates. The phylogenetic branching pattern revealed that there was certain extended grouping between geographic locations, and the Asian type probably represents the oldest population of PRSV. The information of CP genes will be useful in designing and developing durable virus resistant-PRSV transgenic papaya in China. Meanwhile broad-spectrum-virus resistant, strongly resistant-PRSV and good safe papaya lines are required.展开更多

In the mainland of China, VNN was first identified in 2 species of hatchery-reared groupers, Epinephelus akaara and E. coioides. In the present study, samples were collected from larvae of E. akaara with signs of VNN in Dayawan bay which is located in southern China. The complete viral coat protein gene was amplified using extracted total RNA as template. The reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) amplification was performed using primers containing a heterologous restriction site for NotI. PCR products were cloned into pcDNA3 vector and sequenced. The results indicated that the coat protein gene of Dayawan isolate (RG-CN) was 1056 bases in length and contained a single open reading frame (ORF) of 1017 bases encoding a protein of 338 amino acids. The sequence similarities between the coat protein gene of RG-CN and other 8 isolates of NNV from Dayawan, Taiwan, Japan, Singapore and France were 79.1%-99.5% at the nucleotide level and 83.7%-100% at the amino acid level, respectively.The homology between RG-CN and the other 5 isolates from groupers was high and relatively lower between RG-CN and guppy nervous necrosis virus (GNNV), sea bass nervous necrosis virus (DIEV), but more divergences existed between RG-CN and striped jack nevous necrosis virus (SJNNV). Compared with SJNNV, RG-CN and the other 7 isolates all lacked 6 nucleotides and 2 amino acids in the same positions. Based on the result of molecular phylogenetic analysis, Dayawan isolate belongs to red-spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV) genotype.展开更多
