Abstract
The satellite cucumber mosaic virus (CMV)-associated RNA 5 (CARNA 5) of CMV strain S (CMV-S) which previously had been assigned the capability both to direct the synthesis of two small proteins in vitro (R. A. Owens and J. M. Kaper, 1977, Virology, 80, 196-203) and to induce the tomato necrosis disease in the presence of its helper virus (J. M. Kaper and H. E. Waterworth, 1977, Science, 196, 429-431), has been reinvestigated. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic analyses under partially denaturing conditions of CARNA 5 preparations from CMV-S grown in tobacco reveal a mixture of three distinct RNA species which have been isolated and partially characterized. In order of decreasing electrophoretic mobility they have been designated RNA 5, (n)CARNA 5, and (S)CARNA 5, respectively. RNA 5 has been partially sequenced and shown to represent 3'-terminal fragments of the CMV genomic RNAs. (n)CARNA 5 is responsible for the tomato necrosis-inducing properties of the mixture and coelectrophoreses with tomato necrosis-inducing CARNA 5 from CMV strain D. (S)CARNA 5 does not cause tomato necrosis; its complete nucleotide sequence was determined and is compared here to the published sequences of the CARNA 5s of four other CMV strains. A companion paper (M. J. Avila-Rincon et al., 1986, Virology, 152, 455-458) provides unequivocal evidence that the in vitro translation of nonnecrotic (S)CARNA 5 produces two small polypeptides resembling those described earlier.

Abstract
Terminal sequences of the double-stranded (ds) forms of RNAs 3 and 4 and the satellite RNA (CARNA 5) of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) have been determined. The ds forms of both CARNA 5 and RNA 3 contain an unpaired guanosine (G) at the 3' end of the minus (-) strand, a feature also present in the replicative forms (RFs) of several animal alphaviruses. The unpaired G present in the CMV-related ds RNAs suggests that these molecules represent RFs and that viral and satellite RNAs share common replicative machinery. The 3' terminus of the (-) strand of ds RNA 4 is heterogeneous, with and without the added G. The existence of these two ds RNA 4 molecules suggests that replication of the subgenomic RNA 4 proceeds through a mechanism different from that of the genomic RNAs. The plus (+) strands of the ds forms of RNAs 3 and 4 and CARNA 5 are uncapped at the 5' termini and all end with a 3'-terminal cytosine (C. The 3'-terminal adenosine (A) present on most single-stranded (ss), encapsidated, CMV RNAs 3 and 4 is therefore added post-transcriptionally, and a possible control function for such a 3' terminus is discussed. The lack of an added 3'-terminal A on ss, encapsidated, CARNA 5 could result in its high replicative efficiency through escape from such a control.

Abstract
The complete nucleotide sequence of a cucumber mosaic virus-associated RNA 5 (CARNA 5) that does not induce the tomato necrosis disease (J. M. Kaper, M. E. Tousignant, and S. M. Thompson, Virology 114, 526-533, 1981) has been determined and compared with the known sequence of a necrosis-inducing CARNA 5 (K. E. Richards, G. Jonard, M. Jacquemond, and H. Lot, Virology 89, 395-408, 1978). The nonnecrotic satellite RNA, (1)CARNA 5, is one nucleotide smaller yet 93% homologous with (n)CARNA 5, the necrosis-inducing satellite RNA. (1)CARNA 5 differs from (n)CARNA 5 by 21 substitutions, 3 deletions, and 2 insertions, with more changes in the 3' half than in the 5' half of the molecule. (1)CARNA 5, like (n)CARNA 5, is capped at its 5' terminus; the nucleotide sequences predict that putative translational products of the two RNAs could be significantly different.

Abstract
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) satellite RNA (Sat-RNA, D. W. Mossop and R. I. B. Francki, 1978, Virology86, 562-566) is similar in many of its physical and biological properties to CMV associated RNA 5 (CARNA 5) described by Kaper and Tousignant (1977, Virology85, 323-327). However, CARNA 5, unlike Sat-RNA, causes a serious necrotic disease of tomato. Sat-RNA when inoculated together with various CMV or tomato aspermy virus strains not only failed to increase the severity of symptoms in infected tomato plants, but ameliorated them in some instances. Comparisons of the two RNAs by hybridization analysis using 32P-labelled complementary DNA probes, indicate that they have partial nucleotide sequence homology. It is suggested that the difference in their primary structure is reflected in their biological properties.

Abstract
Like the satellite RNA (Sat-RNA) of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), the RNA of satellite tobacco necrosis virus (STNV-RNA) was shown to be capable of surviving in vivo without replication for at least 10 days in the absence of its helper tobacco necrosis virus (TNV). However, under similar conditions, the genomic RNA 3 of CMV failed to survive for 48 hr. It has been demonstrated that both STNV-RNA and Sat-RNA are significantly more resistant to inactivation in vitro than the RNAs of their helper viruses. The thermal denaturation kinetics of STNV-RNA and Sat-RNA, unlike those of TNV-RNA and CMV-RNA, are more like those of transfer RNA (tRNA) indicating that a high proportion of their nucleotides are involved in base pairing. STNV-RNA, Sat-RNA, and tRNA also show similar degrees of resistance to degradation by the single strand-specific S(1) nuclease. It is suggested that both STNV-RNA and Sat-RNA may owe their in vitro stability to features of their molecular structure which may also account for their ability to survive in vivo for prolonged periods without replication. Similarities and differences between satellites and viroids are discussed and it is concluded that these two classes of RNAs are unlikely to be related. The possible evolutionary origins of the satellites are also considered.

Abstract
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) satellite RNA-induced viral symptom modulation is usually accompanied by a significant reduction of virus accumulation in plant tissue, which has led to the hypothesis that satellite RNA competes with the viral RNAs for replication by the viral replicase and thereby reduces viral RNA synthesis and viral symptoms. In this report, the RNA synthesis of the viral and satellite RNAs of CMV was studied in vitro using an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) purified from CMV-infected plants. Comparison of the kinetics of the CMV RdRp-catalysed RNA synthesis using as templates viral RNAs and satellite RNA, alone or in an appropriate mixture, showed that these RNAs competed with each other for RNA synthesis by the CMV RdRp. Determination of the rates of 32P incorporation into the viral and satellite double-stranded RNA products revealed an apparent replication advantage of the satellite RNA over viral RNAs. The results provide strong support for a previously proposed biochemical mechanism that attributes CMV satellite-induced viral symptom modulation to the replication competition between the satellite and viral RNAs.

Abstract
We describe four monoclonal antibodies (MAB) which specifically recognize double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) together with their use in new methods for detecting and characterizing dsRNA in unfractionated nucleic acid extracts. The specificity of the antibodies was analyzed using a panel of 27 different synthetic and naturally occurring nucleic acids. All four antibodies reacted in a highly specific manner with long dsRNA helices, irrespective of their sequence; no binding to single-stranded RNA homopolymers or to DNA or RNA-DNA hybrids was observed. The apparent affinity of the antibodies to short (less than or equal to 11 bp) RNA helices was very low in all test systems used: only background levels of binding were obtained on single-stranded RNA species which contain double-helical secondary structures (e.g. rRNA, tRNA, viroid RNA). A sandwich ELISA and a dsRNA-immunoblotting procedure have been established which allow detection and characterization of dsRNA by MAB even in the presence of a large excess of other nucleic acids. In combination with temperature-gradient gelelectrophoresis (TGGE) not only the molecular weights but also the highly characteristic Tm-values of conformational transitions of individual dsRNA species could be determined by immunoblotting. An example of the general use of these methods for the detection of plant virus infections is demonstrated with groundnut rosette virus (GRV) dsRNAs. We were able to estimate the dsRNA content of infected leaves, identify the dsRNA species present in crude extracts and to determine the Tm- values of GRV dsRNA-3.

Abstract
Comparison of the nucleotide sequences of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) satellite RNAs, which induce necrosis on tomatoes, reveals a highly conserved region within their 3' halves. The sequence of WL1 satellite (WL1-sat) RNA, which attenuates CMV symptoms on tomatoes, differs from all necrogenic satellite RNAs at three nucleotide positions within this conserved region. These nucleotides were progressively mutated to determine what sequence is required for the induction of necrosis in tomatoes. Infectious transcripts from a cDNA clone of WL1-sat RNA, and its mutated derivatives, were assayed on tomato. Three of the four mutant satellite RNAs, in which two of the three nucleotides correspond to those present in necrogenic satellite RNAs, and the rest of the molecule corresponded to WL1-sat RNA, attenuated CMV symptoms on tomatoes, and were phenotypically identical to the parental WL1-sat RNA. One other mutant satellite RNA, in which all three mutated nucleotides corresponded to the sequence of necrogenic satellite RNAs and the rest of the molecule corresponded to WL1-sat RNA, induced a lethal necrosis on tomatoes. Necrosis was also observed when the same mutant satellite RNA was associated with a second CMV strain as helper virus. These results indicate that a single nucleotide change at any of the three nucleotides examined distinguishes necrogenic from nonnecrogenic satellite RNAs. This necrosis was similar to that induced by a naturally necrogenic satellite RNA. The various mutations did not modify the effect of WL1-sat RNA on the symptoms induced by CMV on tobacco or squash.

Abstract
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), a widespread and economically important virus of vegetable crops, often contains a satellite RNA, here designated CARNA-5 (for CMV-associated RNA 5). Viral satellites are small nucleic acids that are sequence-unrelated to, but replicatively dependent upon, the viral genome. They essentially are molecular parasites of their helper viruses, and thereby frequently modulate viral symptom expression. Some isolates of CARNA-5 change normally moderate CMV symptoms in tomato into a lethal disease named tomato necrosis; others ameliorate CMV symptoms in tomato and other important crop plants. Here we report on the identification and molecular characterization of a 334-nucleotide necrogenic CARNA-5 isolated from tomato fields in southern Italy, where a massive outbreak of lethal necrosis occurred in the summer of 1988. This is the first time that direct evidence is given for the involvement of a viral satellite in a crop disease of epidemic scale. The possible molecular interrelationships between plant, virus, satellite and other factors that influence the satellite-induced symptom modulation underlying such a catastrophe are discussed.

Abstract
Two isolates of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV)-associated satellite RNA, differing in their biological properties, have been reverse transcribed. One was able to induce the tomato necrotic syndrome whereas the other one attenuated fernleaf symptoms on tomato plants after co-inoculation with the helper virus. cDNAs representing partial or full-length copies have been cloned in the plasmid pAT 153 and sequenced. The two RNAs showed a very limited number of variations (2 to 5 substitutions depending on the clones and a one base deletion). Full-length cDNA copies possessed the same biological properties that characterized the parent satellite RNA. Efficiency of the cDNA depended upon its form in the inoculum (circular or linear plasmid or excised cDNA) and upon the form of the helper virus (viral RNAs or virions) with which it seemed to compete for installation and/or expression.

Abstract
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and peanut stunt virus (PSV) each contain a fifth major RNA in the size range of 334 to 393 nucleotides. This fifth RNA is a satellite capable of modulating the expression of viral disease symptoms. It is present in infected tissue in single-stranded and double-stranded form. Nucleotide sequence variants of the double-stranded CMV-associated RNA 5 (dsCARNA 5) and PSV-associated RNA 5 (dsPARNA 5) were analysed by temperature-gradient gel electrophoresis. Gels were 5% polyacrylamide, containing 8 M urea in 8.9 mM Tris-borate buffer, with temperature differences of 25-40 degrees C establishing gradients either perpendicular or parallel to the direction of the electric field. For dsCARNA 5 two characteristic transitions were detected with increasing temperature: at temperatures between 40 degrees C and 46 degrees C a drastic retardation in electrophoretic mobility induced by partial dissociation of the duplex structure from the ends and at temperatures above 52 degrees C an abrupt increase in mobility due to complete strand dissociation. dsPARNA 5 exhibited both transitions at up to 10 degrees C higher temperatures and an additional retardation between the transitions mentioned. Seven different variants of dsCARNA 5, 4 necrogenic and 3 non-necrogenic, were analysed. Some showed only one single band, others gave rise to up to six well separated bands corresponding to six molecular species. From all experimental results a correlation between the temperature of the retardation transition and the necrogenicity of CARNA 5 was derived. The diagnostic application of the temperature-gradient gel analysis in agriculture, particularly for the use of non-necrogenic variants as biological control agents to impede CMV-infections, is discussed.

Abstract
The 3'- and 5'-terminal sequences of the five large double-stranded RNA species (L-dsRNA; 4.5-6.0 X 10(6) daltons) of EP713, a hypovirulent strain of Endothia parasitica, were determined by mobility-shift and enzymatic methods. All the L-dsRNAs appeared to have identical terminal sequences. A heteropolymer sequence was found at one 3'-terminus and a poly(A) sequence of variable length at the other. It was possible to label only one 5'-terminus using polynucleotide kinase and [gamma-32P]ATP, and this was shown to be a poly(U) sequence of variable length. We propose that the dsRNAs have the following structure, where X represents a blocking group: (Formula: see text). A recombinant plasmid containing dsRNA-related sequences was constructed. Hybridization analysis using the recombinant probe indicated that the sequence homology among the L-dsRNAs extended beyond these terminal regions and was also shared by small dsRNAs (0.3-0.45 X 10(6) daltons).

Abstract
A monoclonal antibody (Mab) against the double-stranded form of the cucumber mosaic virus-associated RNA 5, the sequence variant that induces the tomato necrosis disease (ds(n)CARNA 5), has been obtained. Specificity studies using a radioimmunoassay showed that the purified Mab recognizes neither DNA nor ssRNA of different sources including ss(n)CARNA 5, poly(I).poly(C), nor dsRNA of two other sequence variants of CARNA 5. Therefore, the Mab seems to recognize a conformational variation only present in the double helical structure of ds(n)CARNA 5.

Abstract
Peanut stunt virus-associated RNA 5 (PARNA 5), the satellite of a plant cucumovirus, is a linear RNA of 393 nucleotides with a 5' cap and a 3' hydroxyl group. Determination of its nucleotide sequence has revealed two consecutive open reading frames that together extend most of its length. Sequences at the 5' and 3' ends are homologous with those of the satellite of the related cucumber mosaic virus, and the double-stranded forms of both satellites contain an unpaired guanosine at the 3' end of the minus strand. However, little other homology exists between the two satellites. In contrast, PARNA 5 has several regions of 90% sequence homology with various plant viroids, including sequences of the conserved central region of most viroids. Such homologies suggest a common origin with viroids coupled with specific adaptation as a linear RNA. The presence within PARNA 5 of conserved intron sequences essential to proper RNA processing suggests a possible origin from plant introns and/or involvement of such sequences in the processing of PARNA 5 multimers to monomers at some stage of replication.

Abstract
Peanut stunt virus (PSV) RNA containing PSV-associated RNA 5 (PARNA 5) was used as the inoculum in the successful infection of cowpea protoplasts. Total nucleic acid extracts of protoplast samples at different times after inoculation were analyzed for the presence of PSV genomic RNAs and PARNA 5 using glyoxal denaturation, agarose gel electrophoresis, blotting to nitrocellulose, and hybridization to specific probes. It appears that (+)-stranded PSV genomic RNAs are synthesized up to 36 hr after inoculation after which their synthesis levels off, whereas PARNA 5 synthesis continues much later during infection. Oligomers of PARNA 5 were found in the infected protoplasts, in double-stranded RNA preparations from PSV-infected tissues, and in single-stranded PSV-RNA preparations isolated from purified virus. However, we were unable to demonstrate the presence of circular PARNA 5 molecules in infected protoplasts or tissues. These results leave open the question whether PARNA 5 is replicated via a rolling circle type replication mechanism, as proposed for viroids and tobacco ringspot virus satellite, or via a virus-like replication mechanism, as certain structural features of PARNA 5 would indicate. It is not impossible that both types of mechanisms are operative at different phases of PARNA 5 replication.

Abstract
The binding and replication of purified potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTV) by DNA-dependent RNA polymerase II from wheat germ was studied in analytical ultracentrifugation experiments and in vitro transcription assays. The equilibrium association constant for the viroid-polymerase interaction is 1.9 X 10(7) M-1. Both ultraviolet and fluorescent monitoring during the sedimentation experiments showed two distinguishable viroid-polymerase complexes. These are interpreted as resulting from a 1:1 and 2:1 enzyme-to-viroid binding stoichiometry. A265/A280 ratios across the sedimenting boundaries, the sedimentation velocity of the complexes, as well as electron microscopic data support this interpretation. The role of viroid secondary structure in enzyme binding and polymerization is discussed in the light of these results and compared with binding and polymerization data for virusoid RNA, single- and double-stranded RNA, and double-stranded DNA.

Abstract
The nucleotide sequence homology among 30 peanut stunt virus (PSV) isolates was determined. The isolates divided into two groups with little homology between them but extensive homology among their members. Only one isolate had nonoverlapping partial homology with both groups.

Abstract
The double-stranded forms of CARNA 5 and PARNA 5, viral satellites of the cucumovirus group, after denaturation and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under appropriate conditions allow their complementary strands to be separated and fractionated. These fractionated (+) and (-) strands are free of contaminating viral RNA fragments. They serve as templates for the preparation of cDNAs of opposite polarity, which are used to probe the viral RNA-dependent replication of CARNA 5 and PARNA 5.

Abstract
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and brome mosaic virus (BMV) are isometric plant viruses. Although biologically distinct, they share many common chemical properties. An analysis of the partial genomic RNA sequence available for these two viruses reveals that they are evolutionarily related. Different segments of the genome exhibit different evolutionary rates. The coat proteins, which serve as carriers of genetic material, possess little or no homology. In contrast, the 3a proteins show over 35% homology. The non-coding regions of the genome also exhibit extensive but variable homology suggesting the functional importance of the nucleic acid.

Abstract
Sat-RNA is one of several replicating satellite RNAs which have been isolated from RNA encapsidated in cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and which are totally dependent on CMV for replication. The 336 residue sequence of Sat-RNA obtained using the dideoxynucleotide chain termination and partial enzymic digestion procedures shows only a few short stretches (up to 11 residues) of sequence homology with one of the three CMV genomal RNAs so far sequenced. Sat-RNA has 88% sequence homology with another, previously sequenced, satellite RNA of CMV, CARNA 5. Analysis of partial digests of 5'- or 3' -32P-Sat-RNA with nuclease S1 or RNase T1 under non-denaturing conditions showed that only about 10% of the residues in Sat-RNA were cleaved. Further data on base-paired segments of Sat-RNA were obtained using digestion with RNase T1 followed by electrophoretic fractionation of the resulting fragments under both non-denaturing and denaturing conditions. On the basis of this data, a complete secondary structure model is proposed for Sat-RNA with 52% of its residues involved in base pairs. A prominent hairpin at the 3'-terminus of Sat-RNA shows considerable sequence and structural homology with parts of the 3'-terminal tRNA-like structure of the CMV genomal RNAs.

Abstract
The sedimentation coefficients of the potato spindle tuber viroid, four viroid-like RNAs from cadang-cadang-disease, circular RNA from velvet tobacco mottle virus, circular RNA from Solanum nodiflorum mottle virus and double stranded RNA5 from cucumber mosaic virus were measured in the analytical ultracentrifuge. The numbers of nucleotides of the RNA species varied between 246 and 670. The hydrodynamic models of rigid rods and flexible cylinders were applied for the interpretation of the sedimentation coefficients. Double-stranded RNA5 from cucumber mosaic virus with 335 basepairs fits the model of a rigid rod with an hydrated diameter of 29 A. Potato spindle tuber viroid and the four viroid-like RNA species of cadang-cadang-disease form a homologous series of flexible cylinders with a Kuhn's statistical length lambda-1 of 600 A. The circular RNA from the two viruses mentioned above are more flexibel than the viroids and viroid-like RNAs. The hydrodynamic interpretation is in accordance with thermodynamic data and secondary structure models. In two of the RNAs from cadang-cadang, cruciform structures would also be possible on the basis of the nucleotide sequence. The hydrodynamic data, however, favour clearly the extended structure over the cruciform.

Abstract
The double-stranded form of cucumber mosaic virus-associated RNA 5 has been purified and further characterized. Its molecular weight determined by sedimentation equilibrium is 2.15 . 10(5). The buoyant density calculated from its symmetrical distribution in Cs2SO4, following isopycnic ultracentrifugation, is 1.615 g/cm3. The sedimentation rate of double-stranded cucumber mosaic virus-associated RNA 5 is slightly greater than that of cucumber mosaic virus-associated RNA 5; its electrophoretic mobility in polyacrylamide gel (2.4%) is less than that of cucumber mosaic virus-associated RNA 5. By the above standards the double-stranded cucumber mosaic virus-associated RNA 5 preparations used were found to be nomogeneous in size as well as density. Thermal denaturation monitored by means of ultraviolet light absorption produced multitransitional denaturation profiles. The average melting temperature (Tm) was 88 degrees C in 0.1 x SSC. Monotransitional denaturation profiles and slightly higher Tm values were obtained when resistance against ribonuclease digestion was measured. These denaturation experiments and other propertied led to the conclusion that double-stranded cucumber mosaic virus-associated RNA 5 and the double-stranded form of peanut stunt virus-associated RNA 5 are small double-stranded nucleic acids with several homostable base-pair regions, characterized by distinct G + C contents and Tm values.

Abstract
A general procedure for the isolation of virus-specific double-stranded RNA (ds-RNA) is discribed. The procedure is based on the differential solubility of different types of nucleic acids in LiCl. Principal advantages over conventional methods are simplicity, avoidance of enzymatic treatment, and relatively good yields of undegraded ds-RNA while permitting separation of several main groups of cellular and viral nucleic acids from the same batch of tissue. The method has been successfully applied in tissues infected by several representative plant RNA viruses. The virus-specific ds-RNAs obtained have been identified by their resistance to ribonuclease and comparison of their electrophoretic mobilities with those of the corresponding single-stranded RNA (ss-RNA) in polyacrylamide gels. The molecular weights of the ds-RNAs of tobacco mosaic virus, turnip yellow mosaic virus, alfalfa mosaic virus, and peanut stunt virus fit the curved log molecular weight-migration relationship constructed from a set of known marker ds-RNAs.
