Abstract

The complete nucleotide sequence of a new insect picorna-like virus, Ectropis obliqua picorna-like virus (EoPV), which causes a fatal infection of larvae, has been determined. The genomic RNA of EoPV is 9394 nt in length and contains a single, large open reading frame (nt 391–9351) encoding a polyprotein of 2987 aa. Sequence comparisons with other viral polyproteins revealed that the consensus sequences for picornavirus RNA helicase, protease and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase proteins are found on the genome in order in the 5′→3′ direction. All structural genes were located at the 5′ terminus. In terms of sequence similarity, identity and genome organization, EoPV resembles mammalian picornaviruses and three other insect picorna-like viruses: of silkworm, of honeybee and (PnPV). Phylogenetic analysis showed that EoPV is most closely related to PnPV and suggests that these four insect picorna-like viruses might constitute a new group of insect-infectious RNA viruses.
