Relationship to Other Taxa

The Mr 88 x 103 polymerase has a high degree of sequence similarity to those of members of the family Tombusviridae and the genera Necrovirus, Machlomovirus and Luteovirus. The movement proteins contains a motif conserved among species of the family Bromoviridae. The capsid protein S domain (160 residues) is highly conserved and the P domain moderately conserved among members of the family Tombusviridae.
