    Abstract:
    The complete nucleotide sequence of peanut clump virus RNA 2 has been determined by characterization of cloned cDNA and by direct RNA sequencing. The sequence is 4503 residues in length and contains six long open reading frames (ORFs). The cistron for the coat protein (ORF 1) is located nearest the 5' end of the RNA and is separated from the 5' extremity by a noncoding region of 389 nucleotides. ORF 2 starts one nucleotide upstream of the first residue of the UGA termination codon of the coat protein cistron and encodes a polypeptide of 39300 M(r). Four additional ORFs with the potential to encode polypeptides with approximate M(r)'s of 51,000 (ORF 3), 13,800 (ORF 4), 9400 (ORF 5), and 6800 (ORF 6) are found on the 3' proximal half of the RNA. ORFs 3, 4, and 5 resemble the Triple Gene Block found in potexviruses, carlaviruses, a hordeivirus, and a furovirus. The 276 nucleotide 3' noncoding region of RNA 2 displays extensive sequence homology with the 3' noncoding region of RNA 1. Several peanut clump virus isolates propagated on Nicotiana benthamania contain RNA 2's significantly shorter than that of the type isolate. Partial characterization of two such isolates reveals that their RNA 2's have undergone deletions within ORF 2.
