Tobacco mosaic virus

Japanese: タバコモザイクウイルス
Tobacco mosaic virus

Abbreviated as TMV. It is the causative agent of tobacco mosaic disease and was isolated in crystalline form by WM Stanley in 1935. The particle size is a rod-shaped particle 15-18 nm in diameter, 300 nm in length, and has a molecular weight of 4 x 107. The chemical composition of TMV particles is 95% protein and 5% RNA. In other words, about 2130 identical protein molecules are connected in a spiral shape around an RNA with a chain of about 6000 nucleotides. This protein has a molecular weight of 1.7 x 104 , 158 amino acid groups, a predetermined sequence, and an acetylated N-terminus. TMV-RNA is a single-stranded RNA that contains genetic information like DNA and is infectious in itself.
