Received June 13, 1989. Revised August 8, 1989. Accepted August 8, 1989.

We have compared the sequence of the capsid polypeptide of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae double-stranded RNA virus, ScV, with those of the picornaviruses. A central region of 245 amino acids in the ScV capsid poiypeptide of 680 amino adds has significant similarity to the picornavirus VP3. This similarity Is more extensive than that already noted for the alphavlrus capsid poiypeptide and the picornavirus VP3 (Fuller, S.D. and Argos, P, EMBO J. 6, 1099, I987). Together with the similarity between the ScV RNA polymerase and the picornavirus RNA polymerases, this result implies an evolutionary relationship between a simple double-stranded RNA virus of fungi and the small plus strand RNA animal viruses.
