ABSTRACT Here, we show the draft genome sequence of Streptomyces sp. F1, a strain isolated from soil with great potential for secretion of hydrolytic enzymes used to deconstruct cellulosic biomass. The draft genome assembly of Streptomyces sp. strain F1 has 69 contigs with a total genome size of 8,142,296 bp and G + C 72.65%. Preliminary genome analysis identified 175 proteins as Carbohydrate-Active Enzymes, being 85 glycoside hydrolases organized in 33 distinct families. This draft genome information provides new insights on the key genes encoding hydrolytic enzymes involved in biomass deconstruction employed by soil bacteria.

O presente trabalho caracteriza a região 5'-terminal de um isolado do Southern bean mosaic virus encontrado no Estado de São Paulo (SBMV-SP). O RNA foi extraído de partículas virais purificadas e submetido a RT-PCR usando oligonucleotídeos desenhados para amplificar cerca de 590 nt da região 5'-terminal do RNA viral. Foi obtido um fragmento de tamanho esperado que, após clonagem e seqüenciamento, mostrou a existência de uma região não codificadora com 92 nt e a primeira ORF, começando no primeiro AUG (posição 93) e terminando no códon UGA na posição 534. Na região não codificadora foi detectado um segmento parcialmente complementar ao RNA ribossomal 18S. A ORF1 codifica uma proteína de 147 aminoácidos com massa molecular estimada de 17080 Da. A extremidade 3' da ORF1 sobrepõe a extremidade 5' da ORF2 em 34 nucleotídeos. Os resultados obtidos indicam que a região 5'-terminal do RNA do SBMV-SP é similar ao isolado Arkansas (SBMV-ARK) descrito na América do Norte.

We report the characterization of the 5'-terminal region of an isolate of Southern bean mosaic virus found in the São Paulo State, Brazil (SBMV-SP). The RNA was extracted from purified virus particles and subjected to RT-PCR using oligonucleotides designed to amplify about 590 nt of the 5'-terminal region of the viral RNA. A fragment with the expected size was obtained, which, after cloning and sequencing, showed the existence of a 5' non-coding region with 92 nt and the first ORF, starting at the first AUG (position 93) and ending at a UGA stop codon at position 534. A small site, partially complementary to the 3'-terminus of 18S ribossomal RNA was detected at the non-coding region. The ORF1 may encode a protein containing 147 amino acids with a deduced molecular weight of 17080 Da. The 3'-terminus of ORF1 overlaps the 5'-terminus of ORF2 in 34 nt. Our results indicate that the 5'-terminal region of SBMV-SP is similar to that of the Arkansas isolated (SBMV-ARK) described in the North America.
