Name, Synonyms and Lineage

Synonym(s): Southern bean mosaic virus, Southern bean mosaic virus 1. ICTV approved acronym: SBMV. Virus is the type of the genus 00.067.0.01. Sobemovirus; not assigned to a family.

Virion Properties

Morphology

Virions consist of a capsid. Virus capsid is not enveloped, round with icosahedral symmetry (T=3). The capsid is isometric and has a diameter of 29.4-32.8 nm. Capsids appear round. The capsomer arrangement is not obvious. The capsid consists of 32 capsomers (180 protein subunits).

Electron microscopic preparation and references: Virus preparation contains many virions. Reference for electron microscopic methods: Hull (1977, Sehgal and Hsu (1977).
























3D image of virus reconstruction can be found at the Institute for Molecular Virology, Madison, WI.

Capsid structures, detailed structural and computational analysis are found in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) using VIPERdB, the VIrus Particle ExploreR 4sbv. (4sbv.html).

Physicochemical and Physical Properties

Virions have a buoyant density in CsCl of 1.36 g cm-3; sucrose of 1.1 g cm-3. There are 1 sedimenting component(s) found in purified preparations. The sedimentation coefficient is 115 S20w. Isoelectric point pH is 5.5. The thermal inactivation point (TIP) is at 90-95°C. The longevity in vitro (LIV) is 20-165 days. Although the titer is dependent on the host, the decimal exponent (DEX) of the dilution end point is usually around 5-6. The infectivity is not changed by treatment with ether; lost when deproteinized with proteases; retained when deproteinized with phenol or detergent.

Nucleic Acid

The Mr of the genome constitutes 21% of the virion by weight. The genome is monopartite. Only one particle size of linear, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA is recovered. Minor species of non-genomic nucleic acid are also found in virions. The encapsidated nucleic acid is mainly of genomic origin, but virions may also contain subgenomic RNA, or subgenomic RNA and satellite RNA; virions may contain one subgenomic tRNA and mRNA (for autonomised coat cistrons with Mr of 300-400kd, subgenomic RNA-2, including satellite RNA that has a viroid-like structure. The complete genome is 4194 nucleotides long (cowpea strain).  Is fully sequenced, complete sequence is 4194 nucleotides long. Sequence has the accession number

[J02355] Em(40)_vi:SOB3 Gb(84)_vi:MSBB3 southern bean mosaic virus(bean strain)rna, 3' terminus. 4/90 393bp.
[J02356] Em(40)_vi:SOC3 Gb(84)_vi:MSBC3 southern bean mosaic virus(cowpea strain)rna, 3' terminus. 4/90 400bp.
[L34672] Gb(84)_vi:MSBP5P Southern bean mosaic virus p11.5 protein gene, complete cds, p96 protein gene, complete cds,
[M23021] Gb(84)_vi:MSBMVCCG Southern bean mosaic virus complete genome. 7/94 4,194bp.

The subgenomic RNA-2 is 125 bp long. The genome has a base ratio of 24 % guanine; 26 % adenine; 23 % cytosine; 27 % uracil. The 5'-end of the genome has a genome-linked protein (VPg) (which is probably essential for infectivity). Reference to nucleotide sequence Wu et al. (1987) for the cowpea strain; Weber and Sehgal (1982).

GenBank records for nucleotide sequences; complete genome sequences.

Proteins

Proteins constitute about 79% of the particle weight.

The viral genome encodes structural proteins and non-structural proteins. Virions consist of 2 structural protein(s).

Structural Proteins: Reference to method of preparation: Hsu et al. (1977, Denloye et al. (1978).

Reference to amino acid sequence or composition Hermondson et al. (1982).

Lipids

Lipids are not reported.

Genome Organization and Replication

By itself, genomic nucleic acid is not infectious; a successful infection by the virus requires the genome-linked protein.

Translation: Virions may provide helper functions to dependent virus during replication.

Antigenicity

The virus is serologically related to none.

Bean (type) strain infects most Phaseolus vulgaris cultivars systemically (but local lesions only in cv. Pinto), but it does not infect cowpea. Only the bean strain infects Phaseolus lunatus. The cowpea strain strain infects most cowpea cultivars systemically but not Phaseolus vulgaris except cv. Pinto, in which it is symptomless. The Ghana strain infects many cowpea cultivars and induces local or systemic symptomless infection in some cultivars of Phaseolus vulgaris, but small necrotic spots in Vigna radiata. The severe bean mosaic strain or Mexican strain induces more severe symptoms in Phaseolus vulgaris than the bean strain, and also infects cowpea (Tremaine and Hamilton 1983).
