Tentative Species in the Genus

Similarity with other Taxa

The 5'-terminal half of the sobemovirus genome resembles that of the poleroviruses and enamoviruses with the successive functional domains of a serine protease-like, a VPg and an RdRp. Moreover, polymerase sequences of the sobemoviruses are phylogenetically related to those of the poleroviruses and enamoviruses. By contrast, the CP of the sobemoviruses - encoded by the 3'terminal half of the genome - shows sequences and structural similarities with the CP of members of the genus Necrovirus of the family Tombusviridae. A member of the species Mushroom bacilliform virus, the unique species of the family Barnaviridae, has a genomic organization similar to that of the sobemoviruses and showed sequence identities with them, both in the polymerase and in the CP genes. Genomic organization of animal viruses of the family Astroviridae also shows similarities to that of sobemoviruses, but the sequence identities are more remote.

Derivation of Names

Sobemo: sigla derived from the name of type species Southern bean mosaic.
