Maize white line mosaic satellite virus (syn. Satellite maize white line mosaic virus, Satellite virus of maize white line mosaic virus,{{cite web |title=Satellite maize white line mosaic virus |work=NCBI Taxonomy Browser |url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?mode=Info&id=31503 |id=31503}} SMWLMV, SV-MWLMV) is a plant satellite virus. It is the only species in genus Aumaivirus, which is a member of realm Riboviria without assigned family or order. It only infects maize which is infected by Maize white line mosaic virus (MWLMV) of genus Aureusvirus.Mart Krupovic: [https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/pasteur-02861255/document Plant Satellite Viruses (Albetovirus, Aumaivirus, Papanivirus, Virtovirus)] (PDF).

Etymology

The genus name, Aumaivirus, is a combination of Aureusvirus (the name of the helper virus) and maize, the host plant of the only species of the genus.

Virology

File:Aumaivirus+Virtovirus genome.png

SMWLMV has a genome consisting of linear single-stranded RNA of positive polarity. It has a length of 1,168 nucleotides and consists of a single gene that encodes a capsid protein (CP). It neither has a poly(A) tail nor a cap structure.

As in satellite tobacco necrosis virus (STNV),NCBI: [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?mode=Info&id=12881&lvl=3&srchmode=2 Satellite tobacco mosaic virus, equivalent: Satellite tobacco necrosis virus, …] the SMWLMV virion is 17 nm in diameter, but the capsid protein has limited sequence homology with the corresponding proteins of STNV viruses.SIB: [https://viralzone.expasy.org/8020 Aumaivirus].
