[PMID: 32598895 DOI: 10.1016/j.jviromet.2020.113922] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2020] [Revised: 06/24/2020] [Accepted: 06/25/2020] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Duck Tembusu virus (DTMUV) belongs to the genus Flavivirus, family Flaviviridae. In our previously study, a full-length cDNA clone of DTMUV was constructed, however, it is prone to mutation during genetic engineering due to the prokaryotic toxicity of viral protein, which is also a common feature for flavivirus. In this study, we reported an intron-containing full-length cDNA clone for a clinical strain CQW1, the intro (133bp) was inserted into nonstructural protein 1 of DTMUV at 192 site. This intron-containing full-length cDNA clone was stably propagated in Escherichia coli without prokaryotic toxicity, and recombinant virus was produced by direct transfection of plasmids. Besides, this cDNA clone-derived recombinant virus showed similar properties in comparison with parent virus both in vitro and in vivo. It's convenient and efficient, making it a useful platform for the subsequent research of reverse genetics of flavivirus.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The potyviral RNA genome encodes two polyproteins that are proteolytically processed by three viral protease domains into 11 mature proteins. Extensive molecular studies have identified functions for the majority of the viral proteins. For example, 6K2, one of the two smallest potyviral proteins, is an integral membrane protein and induces the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-originated replication vesicles that target the chloroplast for robust viral replication. However, the functional role of 6K1, the other smallest protein, remains uncharacterized. In this study, we developed a series of recombinant full-length viral cDNA clones derived from a Canadian Plum pox virus (PPV) isolate. We found that deletion of any of the short motifs of 6K1 (each of which ranged from 5 to 13 amino acids), most of the 6K1 sequence (but with the conserved sequence of the cleavage sites being retained), or all of the 6K1 sequence in the PPV infectious clone abolished viral replication. The trans expression of 6K1 or the cis expression of a dislocated 6K1 failed to rescue the loss-of-replication phenotype, suggesting the temporal and spatial requirement of 6K1 for viral replication. Disruption of the N- or C-terminal cleavage site of 6K1, which prevented the release of 6K1 from the polyprotein, either partially or completely inhibited viral replication, suggesting the functional importance of the mature 6K1. We further found that green fluorescent protein-tagged 6K1 formed punctate inclusions at the viral early infection stage and colocalized with chloroplast-bound viral replicase elements 6K2 and NIb. Taken together, our results suggest that 6K1 is required for viral replication and is an important viral element of the viral replication complex at the early infection stage. IMPORTANCE Potyviruses account for more than 30% of known plant viruses and consist of many agriculturally important viruses. The genomes of potyviruses encode two polyproteins that are proteolytically processed into 11 mature proteins, with the majority of them having been at least partially functionally characterized. However, the functional role of a small protein named 6K1 remains obscure. In this study, we showed that deletion of 6K1 or a short motif/region of 6K1 in the full-length cDNA clones of plum pox virus abolishes viral replication and that mutation of the N- or C-terminal cleavage sites of 6K1 to prevent its release from the polyprotein greatly attenuates or completely inhibits viral replication, suggesting its important role in potyviral infection. We report that 6K1 forms punctate structures and targets the replication vesicles in PPV-infected plant leaf cells at the early infection stage. Our data reveal that 6K1 is an important viral protein of the potyviral replication complex.

Abstract
The Potyviridae family, named after its type member, Potato virus Y (PVY), is the largest of the 65 plant virus groups and families currently recognized. The coding region for P1 peptidase is located at the very beginning of the viral genome of the family Potyviridae. Until recently P1 was thought of as serine peptidase with RNA-binding activity and with possible influence in cell-to-cell viral spreading. This N-terminal protein, among all of the potyviruses, is the most divergent protein: varying in length and in its amino acid sequence. Nevertheless, P1 peptidase in many ways is still a mysterious viral protein. In this review, we would like to offer a comprehensive overview, discussing the proteomic, biochemical and phylogenetic views of the P1 protein.

Abstract
Two recessive genes (cyv1 and cyv2) are known to confer resistance against Clover yellow vein virus (ClYVV) in pea. cyv2 has recently been revealed to encode eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) and is the same allele as sbm1 and wlm against other potyviruses. Although mechanical inoculation with crude sap is rarely able to cause infection of a cyv2 pea, biolistic inoculation of the infectious ClYVV cDNA clone does. At the infection foci, the breaking virus frequently emerges, resulting in systemic infection. Here, a derived cleaved-amplified polymorphic sequence analysis showed that the breakings were associated with a single nonsynonymous mutation on the ClYVV genome, corresponding to an amino-acid substitution at position 24 (isoleucine to valine) on the P1 cistron. ClYVV with the point mutation was able to break the resistance. This is a first report demonstrating that P1 is involved in eIF4E-mediated recessive resistance.

Abstract
Plant potyviruses encode two membrane proteins, 6K and P3. The 6K protein has been shown to induce virus replication vesicles. However, the function of P3 remains unclear. In this study, subcellular localization of the Tobacco etch virus (TEV) P3 protein was investigated in Nicotiana benthamiana leaf cells. The TEV P3 protein localized on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane and formed punctate inclusions in association with the Golgi apparatus. The trafficking of P3 to the Golgi was mediated by the early secretory pathway. The Golgi-associated punctate structures originated from the ER exit site (ERES). Deletion analyses identified P3 domains required for the retention of P3 at the Golgi. Moreover, the P3 punctate structure was found to traffic along the actin filaments and colocalize with the 6K-containing replication vesicles. Taken together, these data support previous suggestions that P3 may play dual roles in virus movement and replication.

Abstract
In soybean, Rsv1, a single dominant resistance gene, invokes extreme resistance (ER) against most Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) strains, including SMV-N, but not SMV-G7, which provokes a virulent lethal systemic hypersensitive response (LSHR). The elicitor functions of the two viruses provoking Rsv1-mediated ER and LSHR have been mapped to the N-terminal 271 amino acids of P3 from SMV-N and SMV-G7, respectively, which differ by nine residues between the two strains. To identify amino acids of P3 from SMV-N provoking Rsv1-mediated ER, the unique residues of SMV-G7 were substituted with those of SMV-N. Of the mutants tested on Rsv1-genotype soybean, only SMV-G7(I788R) and SMV-G7(T948A) lost virulence. However, substitution of amino acids of SMV-N, individually or in combination, with the reciprocal residues from SMV-G7 at these two positions failed to confer virulence to SMV-N. In the search for additional virulence determinants, a series of SMV-N chimeras was generated in which fragments within a region from near the middle of the helper-component proteinase (HC-Pro) cistron to the 5' end of the cytoplasmic inclusion cistron, nucleotides 1,605 to 3,787, were replaced with those of SMV-G7. Only SMV-N-derived chimeras harboring the 3' region of HC-Pro, at least from nucleotide 2,013, and the entire 5' end of P3 (nucleotides 2,430 to 3,237) from SMV-G7 were virulent whereas reciprocal exchanges resulted in loss of SMV-G7 virulence. This region of HC-Pro differs by three amino acids between SMV-N and SMV-G7. Analyses of SMV-G7-derived HC-Pro site-directed mutants showed that only SMV-G7(M683R) lost virulence on Rsv1-genotype soybean; however, SMV-N(R682M) failed to gain virulence. Nevertheless, an SMV-N derived mutant with three concurrent substitutions, R682M+R787I+A947T, gained virulence. The data indicate that both P3 and HC-Pro are involved in virulence of SMV on Rsv1-genotype soybean.

Abstract
In Rsv1-genotype soybean, Soybean mosaic virus (SMV)-N (an avirulent isolate of strain G2) elicits extreme resistance (ER) whereas strain SMV-G7 provokes a lethal systemic hypersensitive response (LSHR). SMV-G7d, an experimentally evolved variant of SMV-G7, induces systemic mosaic. Thus, for Rsv1-genotype soybean, SMV-N is avirulent whereas SMV-G7 and SMV-G7d are both virulent. Exploiting these differential interactions, we recently mapped the elicitor functions of SMV provoking Rsv1-mediated ER and LSHR to the N-terminal 271 amino acids of P3 from SMV-N and SMV-G7, respectively. The phenotype of both SMV-G7 and SMV-G7d were rendered avirulent on Rsv1-genotype soybean when the part of the genome encoding the N-terminus or the entire P3 cistron was replaced with that from SMV-N; however, reciprocal exchanges did not confer virulence to SMV-N-derived P3 chimeras. Here, we describe virulent SMV-N-derived P3 chimeras containing the full-length or the N-terminal P3 from SMV-G7 or SMV-G7d, with or without additional mutations in P3, that were selected on Rsv1-genotype soybean by sequential transfers on rsv1 and Rsv1-genotype soybean. Sequence analyses of the P3 and helper-component proteinase (HC-Pro) cistrons of progeny recovered from Rsv1-genotype soybean consistently revealed the presence of mutations in HC-Pro. Interestingly, the precise mutations in HC-Pro required for the adaptation varied among the chimeras. No mutation was detected in the HC-Pro of progeny passaged continuously in rsv1-genotype soybean, suggesting that selection is a consequence of pressure imposed by Rsv1. Mutations in HC-Pro alone failed to confer virulence to SMV-N; however, reconstruction of mutations in HC-Pro of the SMV-N-derived P3 chimeras resulted in virulence. Taken together, the data suggest that HC-Pro complementation of P3 is essential for SMV virulence on Rsv1-genotype soybean.

Abstract
P3 protein is one of the least characterized potyviral proteins in both functions and sub-cellular localization. In this study, we examined the sub-cellular localization of PRSV P3 and its intermediate, P3-6K1 by expressing their GFP fusion proteins in onion epidermal cells. Our results showed that both P3- and P3-6K1 GFP fusion proteins were localized at the endoplasmic reticulum. Deletion analysis indicated that C-terminal of P3 protein contained localization signal, and a 19 amino acids hydrophobic domain from this region was able to target the GFP fusion protein to endoplasmic reticulum. C-terminal of P3 proteins has been suggested to be involved in both viability and pathogenicity of the potyvirus. Therefore, our result suggests that localization of P3 protein at endoplasmic reticulum is essential for functionality of P3 protein.

Abstract
The N-terminal part of the Potato virus A (PVA) P3 protein was cloned into two E. coli fusion expression systems. An overexpression of the P3 fragment fused with thioredoxin was observed between 2 and 21 h after induction. The protein formed insoluble inclusions. Decreasing the cultivation temperature did not enhance its solubility. To obtain antigen for antibody preparation, inclusions were concentrated and purified by sucrose gradient centrifugation, and subjected to SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The band specific for the protein was excised from the gel and used for rabbit immunization. Obtained antibody tested positive with high specificity in immunoblots of expressed PVA P3 fused with either thioredoxin or GST. The antibody was also applied for the detection of P3 protein in plant material by immunoblot. Previous plant sap concentration was essential for most samples. Three concentration methods were tested: simple centrifugal size-exclusion filtration, the same preceded with high-speed centrifugation at 250,000 x g, and differential ammonium sulfate precipitation. The last approach was the most convenient. Plants tested included PVA P3-transgenic tobacco lines as well as PVA-infected wild-type tobacco. In all cases, mature P3 with a molecular mass of 40 kDa was detected.

Abstract
The RNA genome of Plum pox virus (PPV) encodes one large polyprotein that is subsequently cleaved into mature viral proteins. One of the products of proteolytic processing, the 6K1 protein, has not yet been identified in vivo for any member of the genus Potyvirus. In this study, 6K1-specific polyclonal antiserum was raised against PPV 6K1 expressed in Escherichia coli as a translational fusion with the N terminus of avian troponin C and an unusual metal-binding cluster of troponin T-1. For detection of 6K1 in vivo, a pPPV-H6K1-NAT infectious clone was constructed, enabling concentration of histidine-tagged 6K1 by affinity chromatography. Affinity-purified 6K1 was detected in locally infected Nicotiana benthamiana leaves at 4, 7 and 14 days post-inoculation (d.p.i.) and, in addition, in systemically infected leaves at 14 d.p.i., 6K1 was detected exclusively as a protein of 6 kDa and no polyprotein precursors were identified with the raised anti-6K1 antiserum.

Abstract
When challenged by mechanical inoculation, the Rsv1 gene of soybean invokes extreme resistance (ER) against Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) strain N, but not SMV-G7 and its experimentally evolved variant, SMV-G7d. SMV-G7 provokes a lethal systemic hypersensitive response (LSHR), whereas SMV-G7d induces systemic mosaic. Thus, for Rsv1-genotype soybean, SMV-G7 and SMV-G7d are both virulent virus strains. The elicitor function of SMV-G7 provoking Rsv1-mediated LSHR was recently mapped to P3, and the influence of amino acids 823, 953, and 1112 of the precursor polypeptide of SMV-G7d on evasion of Rsv1-mediated recognition provoking LSHR was demonstrated. We have now extended this study to SMV-N. Initially, amino acids corresponding to those of SMV-G7d at these positions were substituted, individually or in combinations. All the mutants remained replication competent on rsv1-genotype soybean; however, none lost the elicitor function provoking Rsv1-mediated ER. Subsequently, P3 of SMV-N was precisely replaced with P3 of SMV-G7 or SMV-G7d and vice versa. All the chimeras were replication competent on rsv1-genotype soybean, but surprisingly SMV-N/G7P3 and SMV-N/G7dP3 failed to gain virulence on Rsv1-genotype soybeans. However, SMV-G7/NP3 and SMV-G7d/NP3 lost virulence, and this loss of virulence function was mapped to the N-terminus domain of SMV-N P3. The data indicate that SMV strain-specific P3 provokes Rsv1-mediated ER; however, virulence on Rsv1-genotype soybean is not solely a consequence of the absence of the P3 elicitor functions provoking Rsv1-mediated ER and LSHR.

Abstract
The P1 cistron encodes the first and most variable part of the polyprotein of potyviruses. A site tolerant to a pentapeptide insertion at the N-terminus of Potato virus A P1 (Genome Res. 12, 584-594) was used to express heterologous proteins (insertions up to 783 nucleotides) with or without flanking new proteolytic sites. Aequorea victoria green fluorescent protein (GFP) accumulated to high levels when proteolytically released from P1 and showed strong fluorescence in leaves systemically infected with vector virus. Deletions in GFP and adjacent viral sequences emerged 2-4 weeks after infection, revealing putative recombination hot spots. The inserts in P1 diminished infectivity host-specifically, reduced virus accumulation in protoplasts and systemically infected leaves, alleviated symptoms and reduced accumulation of mRNA and HCpro in cis in a virus-free system. This heterologous protein expression site is the first within a protein-encoding cistron and the third in the genome of potyviruses.

Abstract
Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV, genus Potyvirus, family Potyviridae) infects mainly cruciferous plants. Isolates Tu-3 and Tu-2R1 of TuMV exhibit different infection phenotypes in cabbage (Brassica oleracea L.) and Japanese radish (Raphanus sativus L.). Infectious full-length cDNA clones, pTuC and pTuR1, were constructed from isolates Tu-3 and Tu-2R1, respectively. Progeny virus derived from infections with pTuC induced systemic chlorotic and ringspot symptoms in infected cabbage, but no systemic infection in radish. Virus derived from plants infected with pTuR1 induced a mild chlorotic mottle in cabbage and infected radish systemically to induce mosaic symptoms. By exchanging genome fragments between the two virus isolates, the P3-coding region was shown to be responsible for systemic infection by TuMV and the symptoms it induces in cabbage and radish. Moreover, exchanges of smaller parts of the P3 region resulted in recombinants that induced complex infection phenotypes, especially the combination of pTuC-derived N-terminal sequence and pTuR1-derived C-terminal sequence. Analysis by tissue immunoblotting of the inoculated leaves showed that the distributions of P3-chimeric viruses differed from those of the parents, and that the origin of the P3 components affected not only virus accumulation, but also long-distance movement. These results suggest that the P3 protein is an important factor in the infection cycle of TuMV and in determining the host range of this and perhaps other potyviruses.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV, Potyvirus) is a very damaging cucurbit virus worldwide. Interspecific crosses with resistant Cucurbita moschata have led to the release of "resistant" zucchini squash (C. pepo) F(1) hybrids. However, although the resistance is almost complete in C. moschata, the commercial C. pepo hybrids are only tolerant. ZYMV evolution toward increased aggressiveness on tolerant hybrids was observed in the field and was obtained experimentally. Sequence comparisons and recombination experiments revealed that a point mutation in the P3 protein of ZYMV was enough to induce tolerance breaking. Competition experiments were performed between quasi-isogenic wild-type, and aggressive variants of ZYMV distinguished by monoclonal antibodies. The aggressive mutants were more fit than wild-type strains in mixed infections of tolerant zucchini, but they presented a drastic fitness loss in mixed infections of susceptible zucchini or melon. Thus, the ability to induce severe symptoms in tolerant zucchini is related to a genetic load in susceptible zucchini, but also on other susceptible hosts. This represents the first quantitative study of the fitness cost associated with tolerance breaking for a plant virus. Thus, although easily broken, the tolerance might prove durable in some conditions if the aggressive variants are counterselected in susceptible crops.

Abstract
Two isolates of the potyvirus Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV), UK 1 and CDN 1, differ both in their general symptoms on the susceptible propagation host Brassica juncea and in their ability to infect B. napus lines possessing a variety of dominant resistance genes. The isolate CDN 1 produces a more extreme mosaic in infected brassica leaves than UK 1 and is able to overcome the resistance genes TuRB01, TuRB04, and TuRB05. The resistance gene TuRB03, in the B. napus line 22S, is effective against CDN 1 but not UK 1. The nucleic acid sequences of the UK 1 and CDN 1 isolates were 90% identical. The C-terminal half of the P3 protein was identified as being responsible for the differences in symptoms in B. juncea. A single amino acid in the P3 protein was found to be the avirulence determinant for TuRB03. Previous work already has identified the P3 as an avirulence determinant for TuRB04. Our results increase the understanding of the basis of plant-virus recognition, show the importance of the potyviral P3 gene as a symptom determinant, and provide a role in planta for the poorly understood P3 protein in a normal infection cycle.

Abstract
The Brassica napus differential line 165 is resistant to infection by Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) isolates belonging to pathotypes 1 and 3. Nucleotide sequences of resistance-breaking mutants of pathotype 1 (UK 1), pathotype 3 (CHN 12), and wild-type isolates have been determined. When the mutations identified were introduced into an infectious clone of UK 1, a single mutation in the viral P3 protein induced a hypersensitive (necrotic) response in inoculated leaves of line 165 plants. Full systemic nonnecrotic infection was only possible when another mutation (in the cylindrical inclusion protein) was introduced. Tests on segregating populations derived from line 165 indicated that the two viral genes were pathogenicity determinants for two different resistance genes in line 165. One gene responsible for an extreme form of resistance (no symptoms seen) was epistatic to a second responsible for the hypersensitive reaction. These results help to explain the relative stability of the resistance in line 165 and to further define the genetic basis of the TuMV pathotyping system.

Abstract
Processing of the polyprotein encoded by Potato virus A (PVA; genus Potyvirus) was studied using expression of the complete PVA polyprotein or its mutants from recombinant baculoviruses in insect cells. The time-course of polyprotein processing by the main viral proteinase (NIaPro) was examined with the pulse-chase method. The sites at the P3/6K1, CI-6K2 and VPg/NIaPro junctions were processed slowly, in contrast to other proteolytic cleavage sites which were processed at a high rate. The CI-6K2 polyprotein was observed in the baculovirus system and in infected plant cells. In both cell types the majority of CI-6K2 was found in the membrane fraction, in contrast to fully processed CI. Deletion of the genomic region encoding the 6K1 protein prevented proper proteolytic separation of P3 from CI, but did not affect processing of VPg, NIaPro, NIb or CP from the polyprotein. The 6K2-encoding sequence could be removed without any detectable effect on polyprotein processing. However, deletion of either the 6K1 or 6K2 protein-encoding regions rendered PVA non-infectious. Mutations at the 6K2/VPg cleavage site reduced virus infectivity in plants, but had a less pronounced, albeit detectable, effect on proteolytic processing in the baculovirus system. The results of this study indicate that NIaPro catalyses proteolytic cleavages preferentially in cis, and that the 6K1/CI and NIb/CP sites can also be processed in trans. Both 6K peptides are indispensable for virus replication, and proteolytic separation of the 6K2 protein from the adjacent proteins by NIaPro is important for the rate of virus replication and movement.

Abstract
A soilborne disease of lettuce, associated with necrosis and dieback, has been found with increasing frequency in California and Arizona over the last 10 years. An isometric virus, serologically related to Tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV), was consistently isolated from lettuce plants with these disease symptoms. Back-inoculation to healthy lettuce plants and subsequent reisolation of the virus from symptomatic lettuce leaves suggested that this virus was the causal agent of this disease. A tombusvirus was also associated with a necrosis disease of greenhouse-grown tomatoes in Colorado and New Mexico. Complementary DNA representing the 3' end of viral genomic RNAs recovered from diseased lettuce and tomato plants had identical nucleotide sequences. However, these sequences were divergent (12.2 to 17.1%) from sequences of the previously described strains of TBSV, Petunia asteroid mosaic virus (PAMV), Artichoke mottled crinkle virus, and Carnation Italian ringspot virus. Additional tombusvirus isolates were recovered from diseased lettuce and tomato plants and these were most closely related to the TBSV-cherry strain (synonymous with PAMV) and to Cucumber necrosis virus based on comparison of 3'-end sequences (0.1 to 0.6% and 4.8 to 5.1% divergence, respectively). Western blot analysis revealed that the new tombusvirus isolated from diseased lettuce and tomato plants in the western United States is serologically distinct from previously described tombusvirus species and strains. Based on genomic and serological properties, we propose to classify this virus as a new tombusvirus species and name it Lettuce necrotic stunt virus.

Abstract
Pea seed-borne mosaic potyvirus (PSbMV) isolates are divided into pathotypes P-1, P-2, and P-4 according to their infection profile on a panel of Pisum sativum lines. P. sativum PI 269818 is resistant to P-1 and P-2 isolates and is susceptible to P-4 isolates. Resistance to P-1 is inherited as a single recessive gene, denoted sbm-1, and the pathogenicity determinant has previously been mapped to the virus-coded protein VPg. In the cultivar Bonneville, a second recessive gene, sbm-2, confers specific resistance to P-2. By exchanging cistrons between a P-2 and a P-4 isolate, the P3-6k1 cistron was identified as the PSbMV host-specific pathogenicity determinant on Bonneville. Exchange of P3-6k1 did not affect infection on PI 269818, and infection of Bonneville was not altered by substitution of the VPg cistron, indicating that P3-6k1 and VPg are independent determinants of pathotype-specific infectivity. On PI 269818 the pathogenicity determinant of both P-1 and P-2 mapped to the N terminus of VPg. This suggests that VPg from the P-1 and P-2 isolates are functionally similar on this host and that resistance to P-1 and P-2 in PI 269818 may operate by the same mechanism. Identification of VPg-sbm-1 and P3-6k1-sbm-2 as independent pairs of genetic interactors between PSbMV and P. sativum provides a simple explanation of the three known pathotypes of PSbMV. Furthermore, analysis of beta-glucuronidase-tagged P-2 virus indicated that sbm-2 resistance affected an early step in infection, implying that the P3-6k1 region plays a critical role in potyvirus replication or cell-to-cell movement.

Abstract
A full-length genomic cDNA clone of a plum pox potyvirus (PPV) isolate belonging to the M strain (PPV-PS) has been cloned downstream from a bacteriophage T7 polymerase promoter and sequenced. Transcripts from the resulting plasmid, pGPPVPS, were infectious and, in herbaceous hosts, produced symptoms that differed from those of virus progeny of pGPPV, a full-length genomic cDNA clone of the D strain PPV-R. Viable PPV-R/-PS chimeric viruses were constructed by recombination of the cDNA clones in vitro. Analysis of plants infected with the different chimeras indicated that sequences encoding the most variable regions of the potyvirus genome, the P1 and capsid protein coding sequences, were not responsible for symptom differences between the two PPV isolates in herbaceous hosts. On the contrary, complex symptomatology determinants seem to be located in the central region of the PPV genome. The results indicate that a genomic fragment that encodes 173 aa from the C-terminal part of the P3+6K(1) coding region is enough to confer, on a PPV-R background, a PS phenotype in Nicotiana clevelandii. This pathogenicity determinant also participates in symptom induction in Pisum sativum, although the region defining the PS phenotype in this host is probably restricted to 74 aa.

Abstract
The genome organization of the mite-transmitted wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) appears to parallel that of members of the Potyviridae with monopartite genomes, but there are substantial amino acid dissimilarities with other potyviral polyproteins. To initiate studies on the functions of WSMV-encoded proteins, a protein interaction map was generated using a yeast two-hybrid system. Because the pathway of proteolytic maturation of the WSMV polyprotein has not been experimentally determined, random libraries of WSMV cDNA were made both in DNA-binding domain and activation domain plasmid vectors and introduced into yeast. Sequence analysis of multiple interacting pairs revealed that interactions largely occurred between domains within two groups of proteins. The first involved interactions among nuclear inclusion protein a, nuclear inclusion protein b, and coat protein (CP), and the second involved helper component-proteinase (HC-Pro) and cylindrical inclusion protein (CI). Further immunoblot and deletion mapping analyses of the interactions suggest that subdomains of CI, HC-Pro, and P1 interact with one another. The two-hybrid assay was then performed using full-length genes of CI, HC-Pro, P1, P3, and CP, but no heterologous interactions were detected. In vitro binding assay using glutathione-S-transferase fusion proteins and in vitro translation products, however, revealed mutual interactions among CI, HC-Pro, P1, and P3. The failure to detect interactions between full-length proteins by the two-hybrid assay might be due to adverse effects of expression of viral proteins in yeast cells. The capacity to participate in multiple homomeric and heteromeric molecular interactions is consistent with the pleiotropic nature of many potyviral gene mutants and suggests mechanisms for regulation of various viral processes via a network of viral protein complexes.

Abstract
Interactions of the first and third proteins (P1 and P3) of the potato A potyvirus (PVA) with the other six main proteins of PVA were studied using Escherichia coli-expressed recombinant proteins in two in vitro interaction assays and a genetic assay yeast two-hybrid system (YTHS). In overlay blotting and binding assays in liquid, P1 and P3 interacted with each other and with proteins of the putative replication complex of potyvirus: RNA-helicase (CI), viral protein genome-linked (VPg), NIa proteinase part (NIaPro), and RNA-dependent-RNA-polymerase (NIb). In addition, P1 self-interaction and interaction with helper-component proteinase (HC-Pro) also were detected. Neither P1 nor P3 interact with coat protein (CP) or with various control proteins. In the YTHS, P1 interacted only with CI and P3 with NIb. The different results obtained using the two test systems may reflect changes in interactions at different stages of potyvirus infection: in the virus genome replication and the virion accumulation stages when nonstructural proteins form inclusions. Our data are consistent with previous functional data, indicating that P1 and P3 proteins are involved in potyvirus genome amplification and provide the first direct evidence that these proteins interact with the proteins that have been shown to be part of the replication complex.

Abstract
A mutant (P1-616) of the tobacco vein mottling potyvirus that contains a four-codon insertion in the P1 protein coding region of the viral RNA is unable to infect the normal host plant of the virus. Processing of the P1/HC-Pro cleavage site does not occur during in vitro translation of the mutant viral RNA. When plants transformed with the P1/HC-Pro/P3 coding region of tobacco vein mottling potyvirus RNA were inoculated with P1-616, some of them became infected, although there was a delay in the production of disease symptoms. Virus isolated from these plants was able to infect nontransgenic plants. Two variants of the recovered, infectious virus contained single-nucleotide alterations in the four-codon insertion in the P1-616 genome. In vitro translation of the variant genomic RNAs resulted in partial processing of the P1/HC-Pro cleavage site, although serological analysis of infected tissue showed complete processing in vivo. These results indicate that limited complementation of P1-616 occurs in the transgenic plants and that eventually there arises one or more variants of the mutant sequence that can effect P1/HC-Pro processing and therefore be replicated.

Abstract
The role of bean common mosaic necrosis potyvirus (BCMNV) and lettuce mosaic potyvirus (LMV) proteins was investigated in terms of their capacity to function as viral movement proteins (MPs). Using Escherichia coli-expressed proteins and microinjection techniques, direct evidence was obtained that both the potyviral capsid protein (CP) and helper component- proteinase (HC-Pro) function in this capacity, in that both proteins (a) trafficked from cell to cell, (b) induced an increase in plasmodesmal size exclusion limit, and (c) facilitated cell-to-cell movement of viral RNA. CP and HC-Pro mutants were also produced and used in microinjection experiments. Mutations in the core region of the CP either impaired (single and double amino acid substitution mutants) or abolished (triple amino acid substitution mutant) cell-to-cell movement, as did C-terminal deletion mutants in HC-Pro. The BCMNV P1, CI, NIa, and NIb proteins did not exhibit viral MP properties, but NIa and NIb proteins were found to accumulate within the nuclei of injected cells. These results further establish the multifunctional nature of the potyvirus CP and HC-Pro.

Abstract
The subcellular locations of two potyviral proteins, the coat (CP) and nonstructural cylindrical inclusion (CI) proteins of tobacco vein mottling virus (TVMV), during early stages in the development of systemic infections in plants, have been investigated. Ultrathin sections of newly emerged leaves in infected plants were treated with antibodies specific to these proteins and then with gold-labeled secondary antibodies and examined by electron microscopy. CI was detected near plasmodesmatal connections between mesophyll cells prior to the appearance of CP or any virus-induced features or effects. Further accumulation of CI was evident in the form of conical structures, many of which appeared to penetrate the cell wall and to be connected to cones in neighboring cells. Prior to its appearance in other parts of the cells, the viral CP was detected, often in linear arrays, near the vertices or inside the cones and in plasmodesmata. In situ hybridization analysis of similar tissue sections with a TVMV RNA-specific oligoribonucleotide probe revealed the presence of the viral RNA in plasmodesmata. These results lend support to the notion that the formation of specific structures by potyviral CI proteins is required for and plays a direct role in the intercellular passage of viral genetic material, in the form of virus particles or complexes containing viral CP and RNA, in infected plants.

Abstract
DNA-based immunization is a promising new technique for generating antibodies in laboratory animals for diagnostic purposes in biological science. The main advantages are the elimination of time and labor and the technically demanding steps of antigen purification. The DNA sequence of the protein of interest, cloned in a suitable in vivo expression vector that is administered intramuscularly or intradermally, is sufficient to induce an immune response in animals. We report the induction of antibodies to tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) coat protein (CP) as a highly immunogenic structural protein and potato virus Y (PVY) P1 protein (P1) as a nonstructural protein. The appropriate nucleotide sequences were introduced in a mammalian expression vector (pSG5) and injected intramuscularly into New Zealand White rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus). By 10 days post-injection (dpi) a specific immune response was detected against TMV-CP, while it took about 5 weeks for a response to PVY P1. In both cases the antibody titers were significantly above the corresponding pre-immune serum, however, they were considerably below the titer of the matching conventionally produced antiserum. To our knowledge, this is the first report of DNA-based immunization in order to generate antibodies to plant viral proteins, but further improvements are necessary to increase antibody titers before this promising new technique can be introduced broadly in plant science for diagnostic purposes.

Abstract
Intracellular localization studies of various potyvirus proteins have been made in hope of finding clues to their function(s). Immunocytological studies localized many of the tobacco etch virus (TEV)-encoded proteins in infected cells. We used antiserum against the nonstructural P3 protein of TEV to determine the subcellular location of the P3 protein in ultrathin sections of virus-infected cells. Immunogold labeling with the antiserum showed labels associated with nucleoli, nuclei, or NIs, Absorption of antiserum with purified NIs or P3 protein resulted in no labeling. TEV NIs are known to contain a bifunctional genome-linked protein-viral proteinase (NIa-VPg) and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (NIb). It appeared that the TEV P3 protein was a third nonstructural viral protein of NIs of TEV if the NIa-VPg is considered one protein. The presence of P3 in NIs was also supported by Western blot assays. P3 protein in the nucleolus and nucleus could indicate that it, too, is involved in early stages of viral replication.

Abstract
Two strains of tomato aspermy cucumovirus, 1-TAV and V-TAV, differ in the severity of the symptoms induced in Nicotiana tabacum: 1-TAV induces a severe chlorotic mottle that appears 5 days post inoculation (d.p.i.) in the second systemic leaf, while V-TAV-infected plants show a mild chlorotic mottle, unevenly distributed in the leaf lamina, that appears 7 d.p.i. in the third or fourth systemic leaf. The manipulation of full-length cDNA clones giving infectious transcripts of V-TAV RNAs 1, 2, and 3 and 1-TAV RNA 3 revealed that the slow, mild phenotype of V-TAV maps to the movement protein (MP) gene. By site-directed mutagenesis it was further shown that this phenotype co-segregates with a single nucleotide substitution that introduces an in-frame UAA stop codon at the fourth position of the MP open reading frame of V-TAV. The presence of this stop codon results in a diminished expression of the MP in both tobacco protoplasts and leaves. Analyses of the progress of infection and of the time course of MP and coat protein accumulation show that the low level of MP in V-TAV-infected leaves limits the rate of cell-to-cell movement and leads to the mild phenotype. Data from the infectivity of RNA 3 transcripts with or without this stop codon, plus data from in vitro translation of virion or transcript RNA 3, suggest that the small amount of MP observed in V-TAV-infected leaves is expressed from a minor RNA 3 subpopulation lacking the stop codon.

Abstract
Insertion of introns into cloned cDNA of two isolates of the plant potyvirus pea seedborne mosaic virus facilitated plasmid amplification in Escherichia coli. Multiple stop codons in the inserted introns interrupted the open reading frame of the virus cDNA, thereby terminating undesired translation of virus proteins in E. coli. Plasmids containing the full-length virus sequences, placed under control of the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter and the nopaline synthase termination signal, were stable and easy to amplify in E. coli if one or more introns were inserted into the virus sequence. These plasmids were infectious when inoculated mechanically onto Pisum sativum leaves. Examination of the cDNA-derived viruses confirmed that intron splicing of in vivo transcribed pre-mRNA had occurred as predicted, reestablishing the virus genome sequences. Symptom development and virus accumulation of the cDNA derived viruses and parental viruses were identical. It is proposed that intron insertion can be used to facilitate manipulation and amplification of cloned DNA fragments that are unstable in, or toxic to, E. coli. When transcribed in vivo in eukaryotic cells, the introns will be eliminated from the sequence and will not interfere with further analysis of protein expression or virus infection.

Abstract
The complete nucleotide sequence of the RNA genome of turnip mosaic virus Japanese strain (TuMV-J) has been determined from five overlapping cDNA clones and by direct sequencing of viral RNA. The RNA sequence was 9833 nucleotides in length, excluding a 3' terminal poly(A) tail. An AUG triplet at position 130-132 was assigned as the initiation codon for the translation of the genome size viral polyprotein which would consist of 3164 amino acid residues. Interestingly, a different amino acid sequence (continuous twenty amino acids) within the cytoplasmic inclusion protein between TuMV-J and Canadian strain of TuMV was observed, caused by an insertion and a deletion of nucleotides.

Abstract
The Burley tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) cultivar TN 86 is "resistant" to most strains of tobacco vein mottling potyvirus (TVMV), the virus being restricted to epidermal cells of inoculated leaves. One strain, designated TVMV-S, overcomes this resistance and infects cv TN 86 systemically. To begin our investigation of the molecular basis for the resistance-breaking phenomenon, we have completed the cloning and sequencing of the TVMV-S RNA genome. The complete cDNA clone, under the control of a T7 RNA polymerase promoter, was used to produce infectious transcripts which were tested for their ability to reproduce the characteristics of TVMV-S RNA on three types of tobacco (N. tabacum cv TN 86, N. tabacum cv KY 14, and N. benthamiana). Timing of symptom appearance, symptom type, and titer of virus were identical to those of plants inoculated with TVMV-S RNA. As a step toward mapping the responsible genetic region(s) that contribute(s) to resistance-breaking by TVMV-S, the nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences were compared to those of wild-type TVMV, a strain that does not overcome cv TN 86 resistance. Variant TVMV-S transcripts containing changes within the VPg cistron exhibited an altered pattern of infectivity on cv TN 86.

Abstract
A 45 kD protein (Pro1) derived from the N terminus of the pea seedborne mosaic potyvirus (PSbMV) polyprotein has been detected in extracts of infected pea plants and among in vitro translation products of PSbMV genomic RNA. The genomic region coding for the first 231 amino acids of the PSbMV polyprotein was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli as a fusion protein with beta-galactosidase. A rabbit antiserum raised against the fusion protein recognized an approximately 45 kD protein in immunoblots of extracts of PSbMV-infected pea leaves that was not present in extracts of healthy leaves. The highest concentration of the 45 kD protein was found in extracts of young leaves, suggesting the protein may be rapidly degraded in vivo. After in vitro translation of PSbMV genomic RNA in a wheat germ extract, the antiserum immunoprecipitated a 45 kD polypeptide as well as some lower molecular weight translation products. On the other hand, an approximately 90 kD polypeptide was immunoprecipitated from in vitro translation products of genomic RNA in a rabbit reticulocyte lysate, corresponding to the combined molecular weights of Pro1 and the helper component predicted from genomic sequence data.

Abstract
The expression of potyvirus genomic RNA takes place through translation of its unique long and functional open reading frame into a large polyprotein that undergoes extensive proteolytic processing. Most of the cleavages are performed by the virus-encoded NIa protease, which cuts the polyprotein at defined sites that are characterized by conserved heptapeptide sequences. We have demonstrated in vitro cleavage activity by the plum pox potyvirus (PPV) NIa protease at a novel site, previously identified by sequence analysis, thus allowing a further refinement of the potyviral genetic map. This novel site is located 52 amino acids upstream from the site corresponding to the N-terminus of the CI protein (the NIa cleavage site previously considered the closest to the beginning of the polyprotein). The specificity of the processing was demonstrated by its abolishment when the Gln at position -1 of the cleavage site was changed to His. This novel NIa cleavage site was only partially processed, a characteristic that was not altered when its heptapeptide sequence was modified to become that of the efficiently cleaved NIb-CP junction. On the contrary, substitutions at the nonconserved position +3 had notable effects, positive or negative, on the efficiency of processing. These results show the relevance of sequence and/or conformational context outside the conserved heptapeptide for modulating the cleavage reaction catalyzed by the NIa protease.

Abstract
This report represents a compilation of many of the publications on antigenic properties of potyviral-specified nonstructural proteins. Polyclonal antisera have been prepared for use in characterization of six nonstructural proteins. These include antisera to the cylindrical inclusion proteins of at least 28 potyviruses, to small nuclear inclusion protein (protease) of four potyviruses, to large nuclear inclusion protein (putative replicase) of three viruses, helper component-protease or amorphous inclusion protein of at least four viruses, to the P1 protein (located at the N-terminus of the polyprotein) of one virus, and to the P3 protein (located between helper component protease and cylindrical inclusion protein) of one virus. Monoclonal antibodies also have been prepared to several of these nonstructural proteins. The evidence thus far indicates that cylindrical inclusions of different potyviruses have both conserved and unique epitopes. Nuclear inclusion proteins and amorphous inclusion proteins also may have conserved and unique epitopes. Antigenic relationships of potyviral nonstructural proteins have potential for the identification and classification of potyviruses.
