| Description | Caulimoviruses are encapsidated plant viruses that contain circular double-stranded DNA [ ]. Members of the group include Cauliflower mosaic virus [], Carnation etched ring virus (CERV) [], Figwort mosaic virus [] and Soybean chlorotic mottle virus []. The viral coat proteins are quite similar, containing a fairly hydrophilic N-terminal region and a highly-basic C-terminal domain, which may be involved in DNA-binding. The sequences contain the motif CxxCxxxHxxxC, which is similarly found in the nucleic acid binding protein of retroviruses []. |
