TMV (タバコモザイクウィルス)300 nm in height × 18 nm in widthrod-shaped virus → applicable this basic structure to rod-shaped and string-shaped viruses present 2130-17500 dt of proteins components: protein = 95% + RNA 5% Fig. Structure of TMV. (A) Drawing to show the relationships of the RNA and the protein subunits. The DNA shown free of protein could not maintain this configuration in the absence of the protein subunits. There arc 3 nucleotides per protein subunit, or 49 per turn of the major helix spaced about 5 A apart. (B) Photograph of a model of TMV with major dimensions indicated. The structure repeats after 69 A in the axial direction, the repeat containing 49 subunits distributed over 3 turns of the helix.(Klug & Caspar 1960, and based largely on the work of R. E. Franklin) (C) Photograph of a particle of TYMV obtained by symmetrizing an electron microgrpah of a single particle. (Markham 1968) The molecular weights of basic proteins differ between this TMV and the other TMV. Many species have proteins of which molecular weights are approximately 18-Kd → attempting to apply virus classification |
RhabdovirusEnveloped, bullet shaped. 180 nm long and 75 nm wide. Certain plant rhabdoviruses are bacilliform in shape and almost twice the length. The basic structure is comparable with the structure of TMV.→ Viron |
Spherical virus (球形ウィルス)All spherical virus shells have Icosahedral symmetry = Built from 20 identical equilateral triangles.→ enclose maximum volume → probably structurally most stable The structures were predicted by of subunit sequences The surface structures of spherical virus is estimated by the variations of the combinations of subunits and/or the relationships between variations of subunit shapes and numbers of subunits Fig. A. Comparison of models each built of 180 units (corks) on the surface of a sphere representing in position, direction and radial extent the structure units in the outer regions of thc protein shells of A BBMV, B TYMV (Finch & King 1966). 1) Twofold view, 2) threefold view, 3) fivefold view. The structure units of BBMV protrude ca 15 A from the body of the particle and lie with their long axes approximately parallel to the nearest local sixfold or fivefold axis of the particle, forming 32 cylindrical or prismatic morphological units. The structure units of TYMV protrude further from the body of the particle than do those of BBMV and are tilted further toward the nearest local sixfold or fivefold axis to form morphological tin its shaped like frusta of cones. (Finch & King 1967) Fig. B. Clustering patterns of subunits in icosahedra. Top left is a simple icosahedron. Its triangular faces are undivided (T = 1): each is defined by three subunits and thus there are 60 subunits in the entire icosahedron. These subunits may cluster in fives (a, pentamer clusters) at the vertices as in the particles of satellite virus. Middle left is an icosadeltahedron of 180 subunits. Each triangular face of the underlying icosahedron (broken lines) is divided into six half triangles (unbroken lines: T = 6 × 1/2 = 3). Each triangular face is defined by three subunits, and these could cluster together (trimers), or may cluster with subunits of adjacent triangles either in pairs (dimers), or in fives and sixes (pentamer/hexamers). Dimer clustering gives, in one view, a 'Star of David' pattern (b), and this is found in particles of turnip crinkle virus. Pentamer/hexamer clustering (d) is seen in particles of tymoviruses. The particles of some viruses, such as alfalfa mosaic virus are tubular variants of an icosadeltahedron (c). These particles consist of two half icosadeltahedra joined by a tubular net, which has no five-fold axes. The clustering pattern in alfalfa mosaic virus particles is not known for sure; the subunits may be clustered as pentamer/hexamers (c. top half) or trimers (c. lower half). |

a, b, +, *, ‡ Indicate serological relationship within groups 3, 8, and 11, respectively. Numbers in parentheses refer to footnotes as follows: (1) Gold et al., 1954: 130 × 30 μm. Brandes (1959) gave a NL of 128 μm, but the diameter of the particles was only about 20 μm when compared with TMV and potato stem mottle virus. (2) Gold et al., 1957. (3) Paul & Bode (1955) found two frequent lengths: 70 and 180 μm. The values of Harrison & Nixon (pers comm) are in good accordance. These authors could show that the shorter particles are noninfectious. Therefore, 180 μm must be taken as NL. Potato stem mottle virus also includes tobacco rattle virus and soil-borne potato viruses found in the United States (Walkinshaw & Larson 1958, Oswald & Bowman 1958). The morphological data are apparently the same; furthermore, serological relationship has been established. (4) A great number of papers exist; 300 μm is especially the result of detailed measurements by Williams & Steers (1951). TMV often has been used as a standard in our laboratory. (5) The cowpea virus was kindly supplied by FC Bawden. (6) A detailed study on this subject is that of Knight (1955). (7) Jensen & Gold, 1951; Newton & Rosberg, 1952; Gold & Jensen, 1953; Murakishi, 1958. (8) Brandes & Quanta, 1957. (9) Bode & Paul, 1955. (10) With the aid of the dipping method we found two different viruses in several species of cactus plants (Brandes & Uachdraweit, unpublished). Cactus virus 1 possibly is identical with a virus described by Amnelunxen (1958). (11) Paul & Bode, 1956. (12) Wetter et al., 1959; Wetter & Quanta, 1953; Brandes & Quanta, 1957. (13) Brandes et al., 1959. (14) Electron microscopic studies of these viruses are going on in our laboratory. The hop virus is being studied by Nuber K (Landwirtschaftliche Hochschule, Hohenheim). (15) De Bruyn Ouboter et al., 1951. (16) Gold et al., 1957; Brandes, 1959. (17) Zimmer & Brandes, 1956. (18) Bode & Paul, 1956; Paul & Bode, 1956; Brandes & Paul, 1957. (19) Brandes, 1959. (20) These four legume viruses all have the same size (Brandes & Quanta 1955, Quanta 1959). Serological relationship has been established between bean common mosaic virus and bean yellow mosaic virus (Beenister & van der Want, 1951; Bereks, pers comm) and between bean yellow mosaic virus and pea mosaic virus (Goodchild. 1956). (21) Bode & Brandes, 1958. (22) Couch & Gold, 1954: 748 × 22 mm. Our determination of the NL revealed the same value (747 mm), but measurements in comnparison with TMV and other viruses revealed a diameter of about 12-13 μm (Brandes 1959). (23) This virus has been described and suspected of being related to sugar cane mosaic virus by Grancini (1957). It has been bee measured in our laboratory (Brandes 1959). (24) Gold et al., 1957.
