Similarity with other Taxa

Togavirus non-structural proteins (alphavirus nsP1, nsP2, and nsP4 and the methyl transferase, helicase and replicase regions of RUBV) share some sequence homology with the non-structural proteins of Hepatitis E virus (Hepevirus) and several groups of plant viruses, including tobamoviruses, bromoviruses and tobraviruses, suggesting a common origin for the replicases of these viruses. Differences in genome organization and segmentation presumably reflect extensive recombination and modular evolution.

Derivation of Names

Alpha: from Greek letter α.
Rubi: from Latin rubeus "reddish".
Toga: from Latin toga "cloak".
