“…Its putative translation product is 257 amino acids long with a calculated Mr of 28 347. Therefore, this is the first tobamovirus in which none of the reading frames overlap, since in ToMV, TMV, cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) and TMGMV the 5' end of the genes encoding the 30K protein overlap with the 3' end of those encoding the 183K proteins (Goelet et al, 1982;Ohno et al, 1984;Saito et al, 1988;Solis & Garcia-Arenal, 1990), and in sunn-hemp mosaic virus (SHMV) as well as in CGMMV (Meshi et al, 1982;Saito et al, 1988) their 30K-coding regions overlap at the 3' end with their coat protein genes.…”
