Abstract

Sweet potato feathery mottle virus (SPFMV) under Potyviridae family is the most widespread disease in sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) across the world and causes differential symptoms of feathery mottle and degeneration of leaves and deformed storage root. The present study highlights the enhanced molecular resolution and 3-D prediction of amino acid of coat protein of seven SPFMV strains. Viral coat protein (CP) derived from an isolate (Gene bank Accession No.HM035545 and poly protein ID D6R1L4_9POTV) BCKV, India showed close relationship with RC (Russet Crack) strain and diverged from the strains 4C, EA, S, O and K1 of SPFMV. Protein Feature View of PDB entries mapped with watermelon mosaic virus (WMV) Polyprotein (PF00767) to a UniProtKB sequence S480335 predicted structural similarities for the SPFMV strains in PDB ID 5ODV for WMV. Analysis of Nuclear Localization Signal (NLSs) and its prediction of CP sequences unveiled the key amino acids in the corresponding amino acid sequences of SPFMV strains required for systemic infection, viral particle formation and insect transmission and showed typically rich in arginine and lysine residues. SPFMV,BCKV isolate revealed a significant correlation between clustering of the viruses and geographical origin and sequence variation in coat protein gene of SPFMV from different subcontinents of the world is an interesting natural mutational phenomenon compared to the conserved coat protein domain of several plant viruses instead. Thelogenetic studies of polyprotein of SPFMV, BCKV isolate showed evolutionary compatibility with other viral taxa and a motif Asp-Ala-Gly (DAG) with the nucleotide sequence GATGCGGGA (nt 31-39) was found at the N-terminal region of coat protein (CP) gene of BCKV are same to other isolates and highly conserved domain which is required for aphid transmissibility. About 20 amino acids downstream from the DAG motif, there is a potential trypsin cleavage cited that is conserved in all potyviruses.
