Sequence analysis by primer-extension at the level of their cDNA showed that the RNA genomes of various field isolates of potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTV) of different virulence differ from each other only in a few nucleotides in two distinct regions of the rod-shaped molecule. Despite insertions and deletions the chain length of 359 nucleotides is strictly conserved in all the isolates studied. Thermodynamic calculations revealed that due to the observed sequence differences the region located at the left hand part of the rod-like secondary structure of the PSTV molecule, denoted 'virulence modulating (VM) region', becomes increasingly unstable with the increasing virulence of the corresponding isolate. Based on these data we propose in molecular terms a model for the mechanism of viroid pathogenicity. It implies that the nucleotides of the VM region specify and modulate the binding- and hence the competition-potential of the PSTV RNA molecule for a still unknown host factor(s) and thus determine the virulence of PSTV.
