Similarity with other Taxa

Furoviruses have similar particle morphology to members of the genera Pecluvirus, Pomovirus, Benyvirus, Tobamovirus, Tobravirus and Hordeivirus. The CPs of these viruses show various degrees of as sequence homologies and have a number of conserved residues, e.g. RF and FE in their central and C-terminal parts, respectively, which are thought to be involved in the formation of salt bridges. The as sequences of the putative replicase proteins form a cluster with those of the porno-, peclu-, hordei-, tobra- and tobamoviruses (Fig. 4). The furoviruses also resemble the pomoviruses and surprisingly also the tymoviruses in having valine-specific tRNA-like structures at the 3'-ends of their genomic RNAs. The furoviruses differ from the porno-, beny-, hordei- and tobamoviruses by their bipartite genomes and from peclu-, porno-, beny- and hordeiviruses in that they have a single movement protein gene rather a triple block of genes encoding movement proteins. SBWMV has distant serological relationships with Potato mop-top virus and Tobacco mosaic virus.
