Abstract
Potato virus Y (PVY) isolates have been classified into genetic strains by a host-independent criterion using a molecular typing method. The method used extracts from infected tissue, and included immunocapture-RT-PCR-RFLP analysis using 5 different restriction endonucleases (Dde I, Eco RV, Hinf I, Rsa I and Taq I). Genetic distances between the different PVY "restrictotypes" were calculated and used to define the PVY genetic strains. Three main clusters were found: PVYO, PVYN, and non-potato PVY (PVYNP), in good agreement with classical PVY strain definitions that combine different biological criteria. Our approach was incomparably quicker and more reliable and reproducible than biotyping. The potential of this approach for very quick, simple and automatable molecular epidemiological studies is discussed.

Abstract
Detailed comparisons were made of the sequences of the coat protein (CP) cistrons and 3'-nontranslated regions (3'-NTR) of 21 (geographically) distinct isolates of potato virus Y (PVY) and a virus isolate initially described as pepper mottle virus (PepMoV). Multiple sequence alignments and phylogenetic relationships based on these alignments resulted into a subgrouping of virus isolates which largely corresponded with the historical strain differentiation based on biological criteria as host range, symptomatology and serology. Virus isolates belonging to the same subgroup shared a number of characteristic CP amino acid and 3'-NTR nucleotide residues indicating that, by using sequences from the 3'-terminal region of the potyvirus genome, a distinction could be made between different isolates of one virus species as well as between different virus species. RNA secondary structure analysis of the 3'-NTR of twelve PVY isolates revealed four major stem-loop structures of which, surprisingly, the loop sequences gave a similar clustering of isolates as resulting from the overall comparisons of CP and 3'-NTR sequences. This implies a biological significance of these structural elements.

Abstract
Complementary DNA libraries representing the capsid protein cistron of the potato virus Y (PVY) isolate 'Chilean', 'Hungarian', MsNr, NsNr, O, and 'Potato US' were synthesized and used as template for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification. An AUG codon for initiating a discrete capsid protein (CP) open reading frame was embedded upstream of the first codon of the CP cistrons. PCR-amplified products of the expected size of 0.8 kilo bases were cloned into the transcription vector pBS(+). The fidelity of each PCR-amplified PVY CP cistron was tested by transcribing recombinant plasmids in vitro and translating the transcripts in two cell free translation systems. Translation analysis of in vitro transcribed PVY CP cistrons consistently yielded a polypeptide co-migrating with authentic CP that was immunoprecipitated by anti PVY 'Chilean' antibodies. The nucleotide sequence of each capsid protein gene was determined by dideoxy sequence analysis. Each capsid protein gene was determined to be 801 nucleotides in length, encoding a deduced protein of 267 amino acids with calculated M(r) ranging from 29,799 to 29,980. The nucleic acid sequence similarity between the six isolates ranged between 89 to 97% and the amino acid similarity between 91 to 99%. The high level of amino acid sequence similarity confirms the classification of these viruses as isolates of PVY.

Abstract
Comparing the predicted amino acid sequence between two Japanese potato virus Y (PVY) strains, necrotic strain and ordinary strain, it was found that the C-terminal regions (H2N-HTTEDVSPSMHTLLGVKNM-COOH) of the coat proteins in the two strains were completely conserved. The conserved amino acid sequence was also found in the C-terminal region coat protein of PVY-36, a strain which did not react with monoclonal antibodies specific to the necrotic and the ordinary strain respectively. Antibodies were produced against a synthetic polypeptide PVY-C19 consisting of 19 amino acids, which correspond to the C-terminal region of the coat protein, using 4 coupling combinations of polypeptide PVY-C19 to protein carriers. Carrier-free polypeptides and those coupled to ovalbumin with ECDI (ethyl-dimethylaminopropyl carbodiimide) produced high titer of antibodies and detected PVY strains from PVY-infected plants by Western blot analysis and by ELISA.

Abstract
Amino acid sequences of the cytoplasmic cylindrical inclusion protein (CIP), large nuclear inclusion protein (NIb), and coat protein (CP) of potyviruses were re-examined in light of reported serological relationships, and correlated with known and deduced biological functions. No obvious correlations were observed between either amino acid sequences or epitopes recognized by monoclonal antibodies and the natural host ranges of the potyviruses examined. Whereas the identified sequence motifs of the RNA helicase (CIP) and replicase (NIb) are predicted to be antigenic, most of the conserved sequences and epitopes in the CIP, NIb and CP were presumed to be maintained for structural rather than functional reasons. Three possible potyvirus clusters are proposed on the basis of the length and composition of the virion surface-exposed amino terminal extension of the CP; these clusters do not correlate with overall CP sequence homology, host range, or vectors, but are of potential evolutionary significance and hence of possible taxonomic value.

Abstract
On the basis of serological properties and host plant reactions pepper mottle virus (PepMoV) has been classified as a potyvirus related to, but distinct from, other pepper-infecting potyviruses, potato virus Y (PVY) and tobacco etch virus (TEV). Recent amino acid and nucleotide sequence data show that PepMoV is more closely related to PVY than previously assumed. PepMoV shows a high degree of homology to various PVY strains in both the coat protein and the 3' non-translated sequences, while unrelated potyviruses are generally less homologous in these regions. Detailed coat-protein amino acid sequence and 3' non-translated region (3' NTR) nucleotide sequence comparisons described in this paper confirm the close relationship between PepMoV and PVY and it is concluded that the isolate sequenced indeed represents a strain of PVY. Sequence data for several strains of PVY gave two groups with closer relationships among strains in a group than between groups.

Abstract
Amino acids near the N terminus of the coat protein of tobacco vein mottling virus were deleted or altered by site-directed mutagenesis to determine the effect on aphid transmissibility of the virus. Deletion of a three amino acid sequence Asp-Ala-Gly, which is conserved in aphid-transmissible potyvirus isolates, abolished transmission. The mutation Ala----Thr in this triplet drastically reduced transmission, whereas the mutation Asp----Asn had no effect, and the mutation Asp----Lys consistently reverted to the wild-type residue. The mutation Lys----Glu, in the residue adjacent to the glycine of the triplet, drastically reduced transmission, whereas the mutation Gln----Pro, seven residues downstream from the glycine had no effect. Comparison of the sequences of other potyviruses suggests that the presence of a glycine residue at the third position of the Asp-Ala-Gly triplet is critical for aphid transmissibility and that certain changes in the residues adjacent to this position abolish or greatly reduce aphid transmissibility.

Abstract
DNA complementary to the 3' terminal 1651 nucleotides of the genome of the common strain of lettuce mosaic virus (LMV-O) has been cloned and sequenced. Microsequencing of the N-terminus enabled localization of the coat protein gene in this sequence. It showed also that the LMV coat protein coding region is at the 3' end of the genome, and that the coat protein is processed from a larger protein by cleavage at an unusual Q/V dipeptide between the polymerase and the coat protein. This is the first report of such a site for cleavage of a potyvirus polyprotein, where only Q/A, Q/S, and Q/G cleavage sites have been reported. The LMV coat protein gene encodes a 278 amino acid polypeptide with a calculated Mr of 31,171 and is flanked by a region which has a high degree of homology with the putative polymerase and a 3' untranslated region of 211 nucleotides in length. Percentage of homology with the coat protein of other potyviruses confirms that LMV is a distinct member of this group. Moreover, amino acid homologies noticed with the coat protein of potexvirus, bymovirus, and carlavirus elongated plant viruses suggest a functional significance for the conserved domains.

Abstract
The identification and classification of potyviruses has been in a very unsatisfactory state due to the large size of the group, the apparent vast variation among the members and the lack satisfactory taxonomic parameters that will distinguish distinct viruses from strains. In the past, use of classical methods, such as host range and symptomatology, cross-protection, morphology of cytoplasmic inclusions and conventional serology, revealed a "continuum" implying that the "species" and "strain" concepts cannot be applied to potyviruses. In contrast nucleic acid and amino acid sequence data of coat proteins has clearly demonstrated that potyviruses can be divided into distinct members and strains. This sequence data in combination with information of the structure of the potyvirus particle has been used to develop simple techniques such as HPLC peptide profiling, serology (using polyclonal antibody probes obtained by cross-adsorption with core protein from trypsin treated particles) and cDNA hybridization. These findings, along with immunochemical analyses of overlapping synthetic peptides have established the molecular basis for potyvirus serology; explained many of the problems associated with the application of conventional serology; and provided a sound basis for the identification and classification of potyviruses. As a result, the virus/strain status of some potyviruses has been redefined, requiring a change in the potyvirus nomenclature. These new developments necessitate a re-evaluation of the earlier literature on symptomatology, cross-protection, cytoplasmic inclusion body morphology and serology.

Abstract
The amino acid sequence of the coat protein of watermelon mosaic virus 2 (WMV 2) was determined by a combination of peptide and nucleic acid sequencing. The coat protein of WMV 2 contained 281 amino acid residues including a single cysteine at position 132 and a blocked amino terminus. Comparison with the coat protein sequences of 20 strains of ten distinct potyviruses showed sequence homologies ranging from 43% to 69% except for the N strain of soybean mosaic virus (SMV-N), where the sequence homology with WMV 2 was 83%. This degree of homology and the location of sequence differences between WMV 2 and SMV-N is much closer to that observed between strains of the same virus than that found between distinct potyviruses. These data suggest that WMV 2 and SMV-N may be strains of the same virus.
