from a bicistronic transcript of dsRNA1
and encapsidated in virus particles
Quadriviridae(dsRNA)
•four monocistronic genome segments
•3.7–4.9 kbp in length.
•Accommodates a single species to date, Rosellinia necatrix quadrivirus1(RnQV1)
•dsRNA2 and dsRNA4 (capsid protein, CP)
while dsRNA3 encodes the replicase (RNA-
dependent RNA polymerase, RdRP). dsRNA1
encodes a non-structural protein of unknown
function
•All the genomic segments except for dsRNA3
have (CAA)
nrepeats, which are presumably
translational enhancers
Double lines indicate genomic dsRNAs; boxes indicate open reading frames on the positive-sense
strands which begin and end at the nucleotide positions indicated.

•Mycoreovirus genome segments
are monocistronic with 5 caps on
their positive strands.
•MyRV1 and-2 have 11 genome
segments (S1–S11) whereas
MyRV3 has 12 segments ,
•Size range: 0.7–4.1kbp in length.

Endornaviridae(dsRNA/ssRNA)
•Do not form true virions;
•The linear dsRNA replicons,14–17kbp long, are found in cytoplasmic vesicles in infected
plants,fungi and oomycetes.
•Each characterized genome encodes a single long polypeptide that includes aa sequences
typical of viral RNA helicases, UDP glucosyl transferases (Involved in Immunity) and RdRps
A conservedRNA-directed RNA polymerase (RdRP)
domain located in the C-terminal region of the
polyprotein is a common feature among all
endornaviruses.

Alphaflexiviridae(+RNA)
•Botrytis virus X,which infects the phytopathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea is the
only known member of genus Botrexvirus in this family.
•Its genome consists of a single linear molecule of +RNA, 7.0kbinlength
excluding the 3’ poly(A) tail and encompassing five ORFs.
•ORF1 encodes a large protein with methyltransferase(cappingenzyme),
helicase, and RdRp motifs, and ORF3 encodes the CP (the only structural
protein).
•The functions of the other predicted translation products(ORF2,-4,and-5) are
unknown
ORF1 encodes the 158 kDa replication-associated (Rep) protein, ORF3 encodes the 44 kDa capsid
protein (CP) and the functions of the other predicted proteins (ORF2, 30 kDa; ORF4, 14 kDa and ORF5,
14 kDa) are unknown
Barnaviridae(+RNA)
•Mushroom bacilliform virus(MBV),is the prototype of genus Barnavirus, the only known genus in
family Barnaviridae.
•Virions contain a single linear molecule of a positive sense ssRNA, 4.0 kb in size, and a single
major CP of 21.9 kDa.
•Comprises four major and three minor ORFs.
•The deduced aa sequence of ORF2 contains putative serine protease motifs related to
chymotrypsin.
•ORF3 encodes a putative RdRp and ORF4 encodes the CP.
•The polypeptides potentially encoded by ORFs 1, 5, 6 and 7 show no sequence similarity to
known polypeptides
Gammaflexiviridae(+RNA)
•Botrytis virus F is the prototype of genus Mycoflexivirus in this family.
•Its genome consists of a single linear moleculeof +RNA
•6.8 kb in length excluding the 3’-poly(A) tail and encompassing two major

•ORF1 encodes a large protein(153kDa) with methyltransferase and helicase
motifs and terminating with a UGA stop codon

Arrows represent known or suspected sites of autoproteolysis.
•Cryphonectria hypoviruses 1to4 (CHV1to-4) are currently grouped in sole
genus Hypovirus within this family.
•The hypovirus genomes were originally thought to be dsRNA but are now
considered to be +RNA
• 9–13 kb in length excluding the 3’ poly(A) tail and encompassing two
minimally overlapping ORFs in CHV1 and-2 but only one ORF in CHV3 and -4.
