摘要: Computer-assisted comparison of the nonstructural polyprotein hepatitis E virus (HEV) with proteins other positive-strand RNA viruses allowed identification following putative functional domains: (i) RNA-dependent polymerase, (ii) helicase, (iii) methyltransferase, (iv) a domain unknown function ("X" domain) flanking papain-like protease domains in polyproteins animal viruses, and (v) cysteine distantly related to rubella (RubV). Comparative analysis polymerase helicase sequences belonging so-called "alpha-like" supergroup revealed grouping between HEV, RubV, beet necrotic yellow vein (BNYVV), plant furovirus. Two additional have been identified: one showed significant conservation BNYVV, specifically HEV RubV. The large BNYVV retained similar organization, exceptions relocation as compared RubV absence X BNYVV. These observations show that encompass partially conserved arrays distinctive domains, suggesting these constitute distinct monophyletic group within alpha-like viruses.
