Summary.
The complete nucleotide (nt) sequence of a Singapore isolate of broad bean wilt fabavirus from Megakepasma erythrochlamys L., designated BBWV-ME, was determined. Its bipartite genome consisted of two positive-sense single-stranded ribonucleic acids (RNA). RNA1 (5951 nt in length) encoded a putative protease cofactor, nucleotide triphosphate (NTP)-binding domain (helicase), viral genome-linked protein (VPg), protease and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). RNA2 (3607 nt in length) encoded a putative movement protein (MP) and coat proteins (CP). Genome organization of BBWV-ME was similar to other viruses in the Comoviridae family. Phylogenetic analyses showed that fabaviruses were more closely related to the comoviruses than the nepoviruses.
