Summary: In this study, we obtained the whole genome sequence of GCRV-DY197 and investigated the localization, post-translational modifications, and host interactions of the 11 viral proteins encoded by GCRV-DY197 in grass carp ovary (GCO) cells. The whole genome sequence is 24,704 kb and contains 11 segments (S1–S11). Subcellular localization showed that the VP1, VP2, VP3, VP5, VP56, and VP35 proteins were localized in both cytoplasm and nucleus, whereas the NS79, VP4, VP41, VP6, and NS38 proteins were localized in the cytoplasm. The NS79 and NS38 proteins were phosphorylated, and the ubiquitination modification sites were identified in VP41 and NS38. An interaction network containing 9 viral proteins and 140 host proteins was also constructed. These results offer a theoretical basis for an in-depth understanding of the biochemical characteristics and pathogenic mechanism of GCRV-II.
