Abstract
Satellite RNAs (satRNAs) are RNA molecules associated with many plant viruses and fully dependent on them for replication, encapsidation, and movement within the plant or transmission from plant to plant. Their classification is based on their length, functional protein-coding capacity, and RNA structure (whether linear or circular). They have been of interest for a long time as some of them, in particular systems, cause significant changes in the pathogenesis and epidemiology of plant viruses. The outcomes of how satRNAs affect pathogenesis depend on the components of the pathosystem: host plant species or variety, virus species or even strain, and the sequence of satRNA. These can be additionally affected by biotic and abiotic factors, for example, environmental conditions such as the presence of their vectors or ambient temperature. satRNAs may interfere with primary metabolism, signalling, plant defence [including post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS)], as well as the efficiency of virus transmission from plant to plant. In recent years, due to wider access to high-throughput technologies and the extension of studies on satRNAs to include the involvement of external factors in plant-virus-satRNA systems, we are gaining a broader view of the consequences of the presence of these small molecules in viral infections. This review presents the state of the art of satRNA interactions with the helper virus and host plant as well as the influence of satRNAs on the insect vector's behaviour. Moreover, areas requiring further research are identified and knowledge gaps indicated.

Kim H, Masuta C. VIGS as a strategy to reverse aphid wing induction by Y-satellite RNA of cucumber mosaic virus. FEBS Open Bio 2023; 13:2005-2019.

Abstract
Y-satellite RNA (Y-sat) of cucumber mosaic virus upregulates the expression of the aphid ABCG4 gene, which promotes aphid wing formation. We used ABCG4 virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) to prevent the wing-induction mechanism of Y-sat and thus inhibited aphid wing formation. Of the aphids on plants with VIGS of ABCG4, only about 30% had wings, and 60-70% of the winged aphids were small and likely impaired in flying ability. In addition, we showed that double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) and small RNAs were transferred from the plant to the aphid to adequately silence aphid genes. Supplying ABCG4 dsRNA by VIGS to aphids is thus a potential strategy to inhibit aphid wing formation.

Abstract
Tomato-infecting viruses have been considered as a serious threat to tomato crops in Poland. Therefore, during 2014–2021, 234 tomato samples delivered directly by greenhouse tomato growers to Plant Disease Clinic of IPP-NRI were tested. Eight virus species: pepino mosaic virus (PepMV), tomato yellow ring orthotospovirus (TYRV), tomato spotted wilt orthotospovirus (TSWV), potato virus Y (PVY), cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), tomato black ring virus (TBRV) and tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) were detected in single or mixed infection in 89 samples. The presence of TYRV was established for the first time in Poland in 2014. Since then, its presence has been observed in single and mixed infection with TSWV and CMV. Here, we analysed the genetic variability of TYRV population based on complete nucleocapsid (N) protein gene sequence of 55 TYRV isolates. Maximum-likelihood reconstruction revealed the presence of three distinct, well-supported phylogroups. Moreover, the effect of host species on virus diversity was confirmed. Therefore, RT-LAMP assay was developed for the rapid and efficient detection of TYRV isolates that can be implemented in field and greenhouse conditions.

Abstract
Plant viral satellites fall under the category of subviral agents. Their genomes are composed of small RNA or DNA molecules a few hundred nucleotides in length and contain an assortment of highly complex and overlapping functions. Each lacks the ability to either replicate or undergo encapsidation or both in the absence of a helper virus (HV). As the number of known satellites increases steadily, our knowledge regarding their sequence conservation strategies, means of replication and specific interactions with host and helper viruses is improving. This review demonstrates that the molecular interactions of these satellites are unique and highly complex, largely influenced by the highly specific host plants and helper viruses that they associate with. Circularized forms of single-stranded RNA are of particular interest, as they have recently been found to play a variety of novel cellular functions. Linear forms of satRNA are also of great significance as they may complement the helper virus genome in exacerbating symptoms, or in certain instances, actively compete against it, thus reducing symptom severity. This review serves to describe the current literature with respect to these molecular mechanisms in detail as well as to discuss recent insights into this emerging field in terms of evolution, classification and symptom development. The review concludes with a discussion of future steps in plant viral satellite research and development.

Abstract
Satellite RNAs are the smallest infectious agents whose replication is thought to be completely dependent on their helper virus (HV). Here we report that, when expressed autonomously in the absence of HV, a variant of satellite RNA (satRNA) associated with Cucumber mosaic virus strain Q (Q-satRNA) has a propensity to localize in the nucleus and be transcribed, generating genomic and antigenomic multimeric forms. The involvement of the nuclear phase of Q-satRNA was further confirmed by confocal microscopy employing in vivo RNA-tagging and double-stranded-RNA-labeling assays. Sequence analyses revealed that the Q-satRNA multimers formed in the absence of HV, compared to when HV is present, are distinguished by the addition of a template-independent heptanucleotide motif at the monomer junctions within the multimers. Collectively, the involvement of a nuclear phase in the replication cycle of Q-satRNA not only provides a valid explanation for its persistent survival in the absence of HV but also suggests a possible evolutionary relationship to viroids that replicate in the nucleus.

Abstract
Satellite RNA (satRNA) is often associated with cucumber mosaic virus (CMV); however, its origin remains unexplained and a subject for speculation. We passaged progeny of molecularly cloned CMV-Fny and CMV-LS in Nicotiana tabacum cv. Ky 14 under greenhouse conditions. A satRNA emerged after at least eight successive transfers of CMV-Fny, but no satRNA was recovered after eleven serial transfers of CMV-LS under the same conditions. The sequences of the newly emerged satRNA were determined, and an infectious cDNA clone was synthesized. Comparison of the sequences of the newly emerged satRNA with those of known CMV satRNAs showed that it is unique. This observation raises interesting questions regarding the enigmatic nature of the origin of CMV satRNAs.

Abstract
Cucumber Mosaic Virus (CMV) is a plant infecting tripartite positive-strand RNA virus. In addition to three genomic and two known subgenomic RNAs, CMV strains of subgroup II (e.g. Q-CMV), but not subgroup I (e.g. Fny-CMV), produce and package a redundant RNA5 encompassing the 3' 304-307 nucleotides of RNAs 2 and 3. The mechanism regulating RNA5 production and its role in CMV life cycle is unknown. In this study, transient expression of Q2 or Q3 by agroinfiltration into Nicotiana benthamiana plants resulted in efficient accumulation of RNA5 suggesting that its production is independent of CMV replication. Deletion and point mutations engineered into a highly conserved region (Box1) adjacent to the 5' end of RNA5 identified sequences required for its efficient production. An experimental system, involving a chimera of Q3 (Q3B3) characterized by having a 3' tRNA-like structure (3'TLS) from Brome mosaic virus (BMV) and RNA5 defective variants of Q1 (Q1Delta), Q2 (Q2Delta) and Q3B3 (Q3DeltaB3), was used to evaluate in vivo the contribution of RNA5 in promoting RNA recombination. Generation of precise homologous recombinants was strictly dependent on sequence identity. When both parental RNAs carried the Box1, recombination occurred preferentially within the Box1. In contrast, generation of non-homologous recombinants occurred only when Q1 and Q2 were competent to produce RNA5. A mechanistic model explaining the functional role played by the RNA5 in generating CMV recombinants was presented.

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
Particulate preparations from cucumber mosaic virus (CMV)-infected cucumber cotyledons incorporated [alpha-32P]GTP into products which, after phenol extraction, appeared to be double-stranded forms of the four CMV RNAs. In preparations isolated 3 to 5 days after inoculation, the label was incorporated mostly into plus RNA as shown by dot-blot hybridization using single-strand recombinant DNA clones of CMV RNA. After a short pulse the labeled material consisted mostly of small heterogeneous products, but part of the label could be chased into full-length RNAs, demonstrating that the synthetic process was continuous strand elongation rather than terminal addition. CMV RNAs added to the particulate fraction did not give rise to high molecular weight transcripts. In addition to the high molecular weight defined products which remained in the particulate fraction, small heterogeneous products, complementary to plant RNA and to viral RNA of both plus and minus polarity, were released into the incubation medium. They appeared to be products of the virus-induced Mr 100,000 (100K) protein which is solubilized from the particulate fraction during incubation. However, when the particulate fraction was first subjected to an extensive solubilization and washing treatment in order to remove the M(r) 100K protein [D. S. Gill, R. Kumarasamy, and R. H. Symons (1981) Virology 113, 1-8], and then used for product synthesis, a large amount of the product was still of small size, suggesting that the synthesis of high and low molecular weight RNA was intrinsically connected, and that the M(r) 100K protein was not merely contaminating the particulate fraction.

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 uncapped and ORF-less subgenomic RNA5 is produced in subgroup II strains of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), but not in subgroup I strains. Its initiation nucleotide (nt 1903) is in a 21 nt conserved sequence (Box1) that is absent in CMV subgroup I. Putative non-coding RNA structural elements surrounding Box1 in the plus and minus strand were identified in silico and by in vitro RNase probing. Four main stem-loop structures (SLM, SLL, SLK and SLJ) were identified between nt 1887 and 1999 of isolate R-CMV (subgroup II), with notable differences within SLM and SLL between the two strands. Mutation of a stem-loop within SLM, even when the predicted wild-type structure was maintained, showed significant reduction in RNA5 levels in planta. Three mutants containing 3-4 nt substitutions between positions -39 and +49 showed significantly reduced levels of RNA5, while another similar mutant at positions 80-83 had RNA5 levels comparable to wild-type. Deletion of Box1 resulted in similar levels of RNA3 and 4 as wild-type, while eliminating RNA5. Insertion of Box1 into a subgroup I isolate was not sufficient to produce RNA5. However, in a mutant with an additional 21 nt of R-CMV 3' of Box1 (positions -1 to +41), low levels of RNA5 were detected. Taken together, these results have identified regions of the viral genome responsible for RNA5 production and in addition provide strong evidence for the existence of newly identified conserved structural elements in the 5' part of the 3' untranslated region.

Abstract
Two new satellite RNAs of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) which did not induce necrosis on tomato in the presence of CMV, B-sat RNA, and WL-sat RNA, were shown to be related by sequence to two well-characterized satellite RNAs of CMV: G-sat RNA (non-necrotic on tomato) and n-CARNA 5 (necrotic on tomato). Using the techniques of molecular hybridization analysis, RNA fingerprinting and partial RNA sequencing, B-sat RNA and WL-sat RNA were shown to be more closely related to each other (probably differing by only a small number of nucleotides) than to the other two satellite RNAs. Furthermore, B-sat RNA and WL-sat RNA showed greater sequence homology with G-sat RNA than with n-CARNA 5. WL-sat RNA, which induces a "white-leaf" disease on tomato in the presence of CMV [Gonsalves et al. (1982)., exhibited heterogeneity of sequence in at least one nucleotide position.

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
A new satellite-like replicating RNA found in association with cucumber mosaic virus type 1 (CMV-1), one of the earliest CMV isolates described (Doolittle, 1920), was identified and partially characterized. CMV-1-associated RNA 5, or (1)CARNA 5, was isolated from CMV-1 propagated in tomato, where it failed to induce lethal necrosis. In this way it was distinguished from CARNA 5 with the tomato necrosis-causing ability, which was redesignated (n)CARNA 5. Although (1)CARNA 5 and (n)CARNA 5 could be separated by 7.5% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under certain conditions, the molecules are probably identical in size, or nearly so. (1)CARNA 5 and (n)CARNA 5 have only limited nucleotide sequence homology. This is also evident from the different multitransitional absorbance-temperature profiles that can be obtained during the thermal denaturation of their respective double-stranded forms. In mixed infections in tomato, the replication of (1)CARNA 5 was also supported by CMV strains WT or S, while (n)CARNA 5 was supported by CMV-1. The biologically different (1)CARNA 5 and (n)CARNA 5 can be considered sequence variants among a group of small satellite-like RNA molecules dependent upon CMV for their replication.

Abstract
Purified preparations of red clover necrotic mosaic virus isolated in Australia have been shown to contain three RNA components whose electrophoretic mobilities in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicate molecular weights of 1.5 x 106 (RNA 1), 0.5 x 10(6) (RNA 2), and 0.14 x 10(6) (RNA 3). Comparisons of the RNAs by hybridization analysis with 3H-labeled complementary DNAs synthesized in vitro have established that RNAs 1 and 2 are unique RNA molecular species with little or no sequence homology between them. However, RNA 3 appears to be a complex mixture of breakdown fragments of both RNA 1 and RNA 2. Infectivity experiments with highly purified preparations of RNAs 1 and 2 have demonstrated that both molecules are essential for infectivity.

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
The RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RdRp) of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and peanut stunt virus (PSV), members of the cucumovirus group, have been purified from virus infected plants and were used to study RNA synthesis in vitro using different viral RNAs, two cucumoviral satellites, and chimeric satellite cDNA clone transcripts as templates. The results show that solubilized RdRp preparations of CMV and PSV have a high degree of template dependency and catalyze (-) strand synthesis of the homologous cucumoviral RNAs with greater efficiency than the RNAs of heterologous cucumoviruses, although the PSV RdRp exhibits a lesser specificity than the CMV RdRp. On the other hand, both (-) and (+) strands of the satellite RNAs of CMV and PSV are synthesized by their homologous but not by the heterologous viral RdRps, indicating that recognition of satellites by the viral RdRp determines their replicative dependence upon specific helper viruses. Cucumoviral RdRp reactions using chimeric satellite transcripts suggest that the promoter structure for the satellite (-) strand synthesis resides in regions harboring the 3' termini of the two satellites.

Abstract
Plant viruses often contain parasites of their own, referred to as satellites. Satellite RNAs are dependent on their associated (helper) virus for both replication and encapsidation. Satellite RNAs vary from 194 to approximately 1,500 nucleotides (nt). The larger satellites (900 to 1,500 nt) contain open reading frames and express proteins in vitro and in vivo, whereas the smaller satellites (194 to 700 nt) do not appear to produce functional proteins. The smaller satellites contain a high degree of secondary structure involving 49 to 73% of their sequences, with the circular satellites containing more base pairing than the linear satellites. Many of the smaller satellites produce multimeric forms during replication. There are various models to account for their formation and role in satellite replication. Some of these smaller satellites encode ribozymes and are able to undergo autocatalytic cleavage. The enzymology of satellite replication is poorly understood, as is the replication of their helper viruses. In many cases the coreplication of satellites suppresses the replication of the helper virus genome. This is usually paralleled by a reduction in the disease induced by the helper virus; however, there are notable exceptions in which the satellite exacerbates the pathogenicity of the helper virus, albeit on only a limited number of hosts. The ameliorative satellites are being assessed as biocontrol agents of virus-induced disease. In greenhouse studies, satellites have been known to "spontaneously" appear in virus cultures. The possible origin of satellites will be briefly considered.

Abstract
Tomato and tobacco plants were inoculated with either of two strains of tomato aspermy virus, 1-TAV or V-TAV, and each of six isolates of cucumber mosaic virus satellite RNA (CMV-satRNA), B1, B2, B3, Ix, or WL2. Ribonuclease protection assays, used to detect total satRNA and encapsidated satRNA, revealed that G-satRNA generated new satellite RNA not of the inoculated sequence. The other CMV-satRNAs were compared for their ability (1) to replicate, (2) to modulate symptoms, (3) to reduce TAV accumulation, and (4) to alter the extent of encapsidation of TAV genomic RNAs. The fraction of B2- and B3-satRNAs encapsidated was greater for 1-TAV than for V-TAV, although spread and accumulation of the satRNA were similar for both helper viruses. These results suggest that CMV-satRNA may spread in a nonencapsidated form. Accumulation of CMV-satRNA in systemically infected leaves was detected for all inoculum combinations except V-TAV and Ix-satRNA, for which the satellite RNA increased only in protoplasts and inoculated leaves of tobacco or tomato. In such inoculated leaves, Ix-satRNA was not detected in capsids. Thus the effectiveness of the TAV helpers of CMV-satRNAs may be controlled in at least some instances by the extent of satRNA spread or encapsidation rather than by the efficiency of satRNA replication. In contrast to infections initiated by inoculation of CMV and CMV-satRNA, inoculation of 1-TAV or V-TAV and CMV-satRNA did not alter the relative amounts of viral genomic RNAs encapsidated or result in accumulation of large amounts of double-stranded satRNA.

Abstract
An RNA-dependent RNA polymerase purified from tobacco infected with cucumber mosaic virus catalyzes the synthesis of (-) and (+) strands of the viral satellite RNA, CARNA 5, but fails to replicate the satellite RNA of peanut stunt virus (PSV). The enzyme replicates the genomic RNAs of the three principal cucumoviruses CMV, PSV and tomato aspermy virus (TAV) with varying efficiencies. The specificity with which CMV RdRp replicates different sequence-unrelated RNA templates suggests that the site of their recognition requires secondary or higher level structural organization.

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
Complete nucleotide sequences of two new satellite RNAs (satRNA) of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), E-satRNA and OY2-satRNA, have been determined and compared with known satellite RNA sequences. E-satRNA contained 339 nucleotide residues and OY2-satRNA had 386 nucleotide residues. Comparison of the sequences among satRNAs including these new satRNAs revealed extensive homologous regions in the 5'-terminus and the 3'-half. The former region contains about 95 nucleotide residues (80-100% homology) and the latter has about 175 nucleotide residues (81-99% homology), but there was less homology in the middle of the RNA. A possible secondary structure for E-satRNA, OY2-satRNA, and Y-satRNA [S. Hidaka et al. (1984) FEBS Lett. 174, 38-42] was constructed and compared with that of a satellite RNA from CMV-Q (Q-satRNA) [K. H. J. Gordon and R. H. Symons (1983), Nucl. Acids Res. 11, 947-960]. Two similar hairpin-loop structures in the 5'-terminal region were common features of the RNAs; one of them was found in E-satRNA, the other in OY2-satRNA, and both in Y-satRNA and Q-satRNA. Analyses of in vitro messenger properties of the satRNAs suggested that the first open reading frame of E-sat and Y-satRNAs was a possible coding region for protein synthesis.

Abstract
Seven CARNA 5 (Cucumber mosaic virus-Associated RNA 5) variants were obtained from an Indonesian cucumber mosaic virus isolate (designated CMV-In) by serial passage of this virus in squash, Chenopodium quinoa, tobacco, and tomato. Bioassays of the isolated CARNA 5 variants for their capability to induce lethal necrosis in tomato allowed categorization of the CARNA 5 variants as either necrogenic or nonnecrogenic. Comparison of the CARNA 5 sequences with sequences previously published shows that in general CMV satellites display a high degree of nucleotide sequence conservation. Except for two sharply defined domains of variability, the sequences of the necrogenic CARNA 5s are essentially conserved, whereas those of the nonnecrogenic CARNA 5s possess at least nine additional hypervariable domains. In eight positions of the CARNA 5 sequences all necrogenic variants differ uniquely from those that are nonnecrogenic. All CMV satellites compared in this work possess open reading frames (ORFs), with equivalent initiation codons, capable of encoding polypeptides of significant lengths. Two equivalent or identical ORFs were found only in the necrogenic CARNA 5s, whereas a variable-length ORF was found in the sequences of all the CARNA 5 variants compared. These findings constitute a basis for experiments aimed at determining the biological significance, if any, of these ORFs.

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
The interaction in vitro of the RNA of the Q-strain of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) with its satellite RNA (sat-RNA) has been studied. In hybridisation reactions containing 30% formamide at 45 degrees, sat-RNA binds to CMV RNA 3 and 4 but not to CMV RNA 1 and 2 or RNA from tobacco mosaic virus and alfalfa mosaic virus. The viral coat protein gene present in RNA 3 and 4 contains the site of binding but this region does not contain complementary sequences of any significant length to the sat-RNA sequence. However, the optimum alignment of short complementary sequences present in these regions revealed a stable structure in which it is proposed that sat-RNA twists around the coat protein gene so that two separate blocks of nucleotides in sat-RNA base pair in opposite directions with two adjacent blocks in the coat protein gene to form a knot-like structure. The binding site is a region of 33 nucleotides within the coding region of the coat protein gene which base pairs with residues 98-113 and 134-152 of sat-RNA. The possibility of the binding region of sat-RNA functioning as an "anti-sense" sequence in regulation of the viral coat protein synthesis is discussed.

Abstract
The nucleotide sequence of the 3389 residues of RNA 1 (Mr 1.15 X 10(6) of the Q strain of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) was determined, completing the primary structure of the CMV genome (8617 nucleotides). CMV RNA 1 was sequenced by the dideoxy-chain-termination method using M13 clones carrying RNA 1 sequences as well as synthetic oligonucleotide primers on RNA 1 as a template. At the 5' end of the RNA there are 97 noncoding residues between the cap structure and the first AUG (98-100), which is the start of a single long open-reading frame. This reading frame encodes a translation product of 991 amino acid residues (Mr 110791) and stops 319 nucleotide residues from the 3' end of RNA 1. In addition to the conserved 3' region present in all CMV RNAs (307 residues in RNA 1), RNAs 1 and 2 have highly homologous 5' leader sequences, a 12-nucleotide segment of which is also conserved in the corresponding RNAs of brome mosaic virus (BMV). CMV satellite RNA can form stable base pairs with a region of CMV RNAs 1 and 2 including this 12-nucleotide sequence, implying a regulatory function. This conserved sequence is part of a hairpin structure in RNAs 1 and 2 of CMV and BMV and in CMV satellite RNA. The entire translation products of RNA 1 of CMV and BMV could be aligned with significant homology. Less prominent homologies were found with alfalfa mosaic virus RNA 1 translation product and with tobacco mosaic virus Mr-126000 protein.

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
A cDNA clone bank has been constructed from chicken embryonic RNA. Clones hybridizing poorly to embryonic histone gene probes were selected as possible variant gene transcripts. The DNA sequence of one cDNA predicts an extremely variant H2A protein (H2A.F), which is 40% divergent from the most abundant H2A protein in chicken erythrocyte chromatin. The H2A.F gene is not highly conserved across large species barriers, but in the chicken there may be a family of linked genes. The H2A.F mRNA is approximately equal to 820 base pairs in length and, unlike most other histone mRNAs, is polyadenylylated. Significantly, the H2A.F transcript shows a limited tissue distribution in the chicken embryo.

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
A newly discovered group of spherical plant viruses contains a bipartite genome consisting of a single-strand linear RNA molecule (RNA 1, Mr 1.5 x 10(6) ), and a single-strand, covalently closed circular viroid-like RNA molecule (RNA 2, Mr approximately 125,000). The nucleotide sequences of the RNA 2 of two of these, velvet tobacco mottle virus and solanum nodiflorum mottle virus, have been determined. RNA 2 of solanum nodiflorum mottle virus consists of 377 residues whereas that of velvet tobacco mottle virus consists of two approximately equimolar species, one of 366 residues and the other, with a single nucleotide deletion, of 365 residues. There is 92-95% sequence homology between the RNA 2 species of the two viruses. The predicted secondary structures possess extensive intramolecular base pairing to give rod-like structures similar to those of viroids. The structural similarities between the RNAs 2 of velvet tobacco mottle virus and solanum nodiflorum mottle virus and viroids may reflect functional similarities.

Abstract
DNA complementary to carnation mottle virus-RNA (CarMV RNA) was synthesized using the reverse transcriptase of avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV) as enzyme, and an hydrolysate of calf thymus DNA as primer. After purification steps that included self-annealing and hydroxyapatite chromatography, the DNA transcript was more than 99% sensitive to S1 nuclease and hybridized to at least 92% of the CarMV-RNA sequences, but not to heterologous RNA. Therefore, the purified transcript was single stranded and represented almost all CarMV-RNA sequences. The cDNA consisted of small pieces that hybridized to CarMV-RNA with a sharp transition corresponding to Crt(1/2) of 2.3 x 10(2) M sec liter(-1). This value is consistent with the complexity expected for CarMV-RNA if there is only one kind of virion RNA. CarMV-cDNA hybridized completely to a crude RNA preparation from CarMV-infected carnation leaves, but not to a comparable RNA preparation from healthy leaves, thus permitting the use of CarMV-cDNA to detect and to quantify the viral nucleotide sequences in total nucleic acid preparations from fragments of carnation cuttings.

Abstract
The action of a number of restriction enzymes on DNA.RNA hybrids has been examined using hybrids synthesised with RNAs of cucumber mosaic virus as templates. The enzymes EcoRI, HindII, SalI, MspI, HhaI, AluI, TaqI and HaeIII cleaved the DNA strand of the hybrids (and possible also the RNA strand) into specific fragments. For four of these enzymes, HhaI, AluI, TaqI and HaeIII, comparison of the restriction fragments produced with the known sequences of the viral RNAs confirmed that they were recognising and cleaving the DNA strand of the hybrids at their correct recognition sequences. It is likely that the ability to utilise DNA.RNA hybrids as substrates is a general property of Type II restriction enzymes.
