Parietaria mottle virus (PMoV) is a plant virus that infects members of the Parietaria genus, particularly Parietaria judaica, commonly known as pellitory-of-the-wall or wall pellitory. This virus belongs to the family Tombusviridae and is known to cause mottling symptoms on the leaves of infected plants. Infected plants typically exhibit symptoms such as mottling or discoloration of the leaves, which appear as irregular patches of light and dark green. In addition to mottling, infected plants may also show stunting, leaf distortion, and reduced vigor, although symptoms can vary depending on factors such as the strain of the virus and environmental conditions.

The virion RNA is infectious and serves as both the genome and viral messenger RNA. ORF1a and ORF1ab protein (containing RdRp) are produced by ribosomal frameshifting. Other ORFs are translated from a set of nested 3' co-terminal subgenomic RNAs.

(left) Schematic diagrams of coronavirus virions; (right top) The topology of the four structural envelope proteins. All proteins are depicted as monomers, but the S and HE proteins form homotrimers and homodimers, respectively. Oligosaccharides are shown on the M, S, and HE proteins. Although a number are omitted, the S and HE proteins contain 21 to 35 and 9 (BCoV HE) potential N-glycosylation sites, respectively; (right bottom) Electron micrograph of SCoV. Bar: 100 nm.

Phylogeny and pp1ab domain organization of selected nidoviruses. Representatives of 13 lineages of nidoviruses that infect vertebrates (three virus families) and invertebrates (two virus families) are depicted. Names of taxa, families and genera, are indicated in grey italic font, and names of viruses are given as acronyms: EAV, equine arteritis virus; SHFV, simian hemorrhagic fever virus; LDV, lactate dehydrogenase-elevating virus; PRRSV, porcine reproduction respiratory syndrome virus; BRV, Breda virus; WBV, white bream virus; "BPNV, ball python nidovirus;" TGEV, porcine transmissible gastroenteritis virus; MHV, mouse hepatitis virus; BuCoV_HKU11, bulbul coronavirus HKU11; IBV, avian infectious bronchitis virus; NDiV, Nam Dinh virus; GAV, gill-associated virus. Midpoint rooted phylogeny was reconstructed based on Viralis multiple sequence alignment [1] of the conserved core of RdRp, using IQ-Tree 1.5.5 [2] with automatically selected the rtREV + F + I + G4 evolutionary model. To estimate branch support, SH-like approximate likelihood ratio test with 1000 replicates was conducted. Polyproteins pp1ab are shown as light grey bars; they are autoproteolytically processed to nsps that were identified only for few nidoviruses and omitted here. TM domains are shown as dark grey bars; TM helices were predicted by TMHMM2.0c [3] and clustered if separated by less than 300 aa (less than 180 aa for arteri- and tobaniviruses). Other selected domains, whose coordinates were obtained from the Viralis database [1], are shown as colored bars; proteolytically inactive PLP domains are indicated by stripes on bars; indices of PLP domains are specified below the bars. "Pkinase, protein kinase [4]; CPD, cyclic phosphodiestarase known also as 2′,5′-phosphodiesterase, 2′PDE [5][6]; NADAR, domain involved in the utilization of NAD and ADP-ribose derivatives [7].

Researchers applied ultrahigh-vacuum atomic force microscopy (UHV-AFM) for investigation of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) interaction with Si (1 1 1) surface. Changes of virion conformation and different degree of order on the investigated surface were established. It was demonstrated that adsorption of TMV virions is accompanied with formation of predominantly single-layered ordered films while AMV adsorption is accompanied with formation of unordered accumulations of the virions and more abrupt change of the height of viral particles. It was established that the change of virions’ height depended on the quantity of negatively-charged amino acid residues on the outer surface of capsid.
