[PMID: 38927633 PMCID: PMC11203024 DOI: 10.3390/genes15060697] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2024] [Revised: 05/17/2024] [Accepted: 05/23/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
In early spring 2018, significant mosaic disease symptoms were observed for the first time on barley leaves (Hordeum vulgare L., cv. New Sachiho Golden) in Takanezawa, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. This cultivar carries the resistance gene rym3 (rym; resistance to yellow mosaic). Through RNA-seq analysis, Barley yellow mosaic virus (BaYMV-Takanezawa) was identified in the roots of all five plants (T01-T05) in the field. Phylogenetic analysis of RNA1, encompassing known BaYMV pathotypes I through V, revealed that it shares the same origin as isolate pathotype IV (BaYMV-Ohtawara pathotype). However, RNA2 analysis of isolates revealed the simultaneous presence of two distinct BaYMV isolates, BaYMV-Takanezawa-T01 (DRR552862, closely related to pathotype IV) and BaYMV-Takanezawa-T02 (DRR552863, closely related to pathotype III). The amino acid sequences of the BaYMV-Takanezawa isolates displayed variations, particularly in the VPg and N-terminal region of CP, containing mutations not found in other domains of the virus genome. Changes in the CI (RNA1 amino acid residue 459) and CP (RNA1 amino acid residue 2138) proteins correlated with pathogenicity. These findings underscore the importance of monitoring and understanding the genetic diversity of BaYMV for effective disease management strategies in crop breeding.

Abstract
Potato virus Y (PVY) is a plant virus that is known to be responsible for substantial economic losses in agriculture. Within the PVY genome, viral genome-linked protein (VPg) plays a pivotal role in the viral translation process. In this study, VPg was used as a potential target for analyzing the antiviral activity of tryptanthrin derivatives. In vitro, the dissociation constants of B1 with PVY VPg were 0.69 μmol/L (measured by microscale thermophoresis) and 4.01 μmol/L (measured via isothermal titration calorimetry). B1 also strongly bound to VPg proteins from three other Potyviruses. Moreover, in vivo experiments demonstrated that B1 effectively suppressed the expression of the PVY gene. Molecular docking experiments revealed that B1 formed a hydrogen bond with N121 and that no specific binding occurred between B1 and the PVY VPgN121A mutant. Therefore, N121 is a key amino acid residue in PVY VPg involved in B1 binding. These results highlight the potential of PVY VPg as a potential target for the development of antiviral agents.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2024; 121:e2313677121.

Abstract
The genomes of several plant viruses contain RNA structures at their 3' ends called cap-independent translation enhancers (CITEs) that bind the host protein factors such as mRNA 5' cap-binding protein eIF4E for promoting cap-independent genome translation. However, the structural basis of such 5' cap-binding protein recognition by the uncapped RNA remains largely unknown. Here, we have determined the crystal structure of a 3' CITE, panicum mosaic virus-like translation enhancer (PTE) from the saguaro cactus virus (SCV), using a Fab crystallization chaperone. The PTE RNA folds into a three-way junction architecture with a pseudoknot between the purine-rich R domain and pyrimidine-rich Y domain, which organizes the overall structure to protrude out a specific guanine nucleotide, G18, from the R domain that comprises a major interaction site for the eIF4E binding. The superimposable crystal structures of the wild-type, G18A, G18C, and G18U mutants suggest that the PTE scaffold is preorganized with the flipped-out G18 ready to dock into the eIF4E 5' cap-binding pocket. The binding studies with wheat and human eIF4Es using gel electrophoresis and isothermal titration calorimetry, and molecular docking computation for the PTE-eIF4E complex demonstrated that the PTE structure essentially mimics the mRNA 5' cap for eIF4E binding. Such 5' cap mimicry by the uncapped and structured viral RNA highlights how viruses can exploit RNA structures to mimic the host protein-binding partners and bypass the canonical mechanisms for their genome translation, providing opportunities for a better understanding of virus-host interactions and non-canonical translation mechanisms found in many pathogenic RNA viruses.

The P1 protein of wheat yellow mosaic virus exerts RNA silencing suppression activity to facilitate virus infection in wheat plants. THE PLANT JOURNAL : FOR CELL AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY 2023; 116:1717-1736.

Abstract
Wheat yellow mosaic virus (WYMV) causes severe wheat viral disease in Asia. However, the viral suppressor of RNA silencing (VSR) encoded by WYMV has not been identified. Here, the P1 protein encoded by WYMV RNA2 was shown to suppress RNA silencing in Nicotiana benthamiana. Mutagenesis assays revealed that the alanine substitution mutant G175A of P1 abolished VSR activity and mutant Y10A VSR activity remained only in younger leaves. P1, but not G175A, interacted with gene silencing-related protein, N. benthamiana calmodulin-like protein (NbCaM), and calmodulin-binding transcription activator 3 (NbCAMTA3), and Y10A interacted with NbCAMTA3 only. Competitive Bimolecular fluorescence complementation and co-immunoprecipitation assays showed that the ability of P1 disturbing the interaction between NbCaM and NbCAMTA3 was stronger than Y10A, Y10A was stronger than G175A. In vitro transcript inoculation of infectious WYMV clones further demonstrated that VSR-defective mutants G175A and Y10A reduced WYMV infection in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), G175A had a more significant effect on virus accumulation in upper leaves of wheat than Y10A. Moreover, RNA silencing, temperature, and autophagy have significant effects on the accumulation of P1 in N. benthamiana. Taken together, WYMV P1 acts as VSR by interfering with calmodulin-associated antiviral RNAi defense to facilitate virus infection in wheat, which has provided clear insights into the function of P1 in the process of WYMV infection.

Abstract
Wheat yellow mosaic virus (WYMV), a soil-borne pathogen, poses a serious threat to global wheat production. Here, we identify a WYMV resistance gene, TaRD21A, that belongs to the papain-like cysteine protease family. Through genetic manipulation of TaRD21A expression, we establish its positive role in the regulation of wheat to WYMV resistance. Furthermore, our investigation shows that the TaRD21A-mediated plant antiviral response relies on the release of a small peptide catalyzed by TaRD21A protease activity. To counteract wheat resistance, WYMV-encoded nuclear inclusion protease-a (NIa) suppress TaRD21A activity to promote virus infection. In resistant cultivars, a natural variant of TaRD21A features a glycine-to-threonine substitution and this substitution enables the phosphorylation of threonine, thereby weakening the interaction between NIa and TaRD21A, reinforcing wheat resistance against WYMV. Our study not only unveils a WYMV resistance gene but also offers insights into the intricate mechanisms underpinning resistance against WYMV.

Abstract
Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a staple food for about 40% of the world's population. As the global population has grown and living standards improved, high yield and improved nutritional quality have become the main targets for wheat breeding. However, wheat production has been compromised by global warming through the more frequent occurrence of extreme temperature events, which have increased water scarcity, aggravated soil salinization, caused plants to be more vulnerable to diseases, and directly reduced plant fertility and suppressed yield. One promising option to address these challenges is the genetic improvement of wheat for enhanced resistance to environmental stress. Several decades of progress in genomics and genetic engineering has tremendously advanced our understanding of the molecular and genetic mechanisms underlying abiotic and biotic stress responses in wheat. These advances have heralded what might be considered a "golden age" of functional genomics for the genetic improvement of wheat. Here, we summarize the current knowledge on the molecular and genetic basis of wheat resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses, including the QTLs/genes involved, their functional and regulatory mechanisms, and strategies for genetic modification of wheat for improved stress resistance. In addition, we also provide perspectives on some key challenges that need to be addressed.

PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 12:2805.

Abstract
Sugarcane mosaic disease, mainly caused by Sugarcane streak mosaic virus (SCSMV), has serious adverse effects on the yield and quality of sugarcane. Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) is a natural resistance gene in plants. The eIF4E-mediated natural recessive resistance results from non-synonymous mutations of the eIF4E protein. In this study, two sugarcane varieties, CP94-1100 and ROC22, were selected for analysis of their differences in resistance to SCSMV. Four-base missense mutations in the ORF region of eIF4E resulted in different conserved domains. Therefore, the differences in resistance to SCSMV are due to the inherent differences in eIF4E of the sugarcane varieties. The coding regions of eIF4E included 28 SNP loci and no InDel loci, which were affected by negative selection and were relatively conserved. A total of 11 haploids encoded 11 protein sequences. Prediction of the protein spatial structure revealed three non-synonymous mutation sites for amino acids located in the cap pocket of eIF4E; one of these sites existed only in a resistant material (Yuetang 55), whereas the other site existed only in a susceptible material (ROC22), suggesting that these two sites might be related to the resistance to SCSMV. The results provide a strong basis for further analysis of the functional role of eIF4E in regulating mosaic resistance in sugarcane.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) represents the fourth most essential cereal crop in the world, vulnerable to barley yellow mosaic virus (BaYMV) and/or barley mild mosaic virus (BaMMV), leading to the significant yield reduction. To gain a better understanding of the mechanisms regarding barley crop tolerance to virus infection, we employed a transcriptome sequencing approach and investigated global gene expression among three barley varieties under both infected and control conditions. RESULTS High-throughput sequencing outputs revealed massive genetic responses, reflected by the barley transcriptome after BaYMV and/or BaMMV infection. Significant enrichments in peptidase complex and protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum were clustered through Gene ontology and KEGG analysis. Many genes were identified as transcription factors, antioxidants, disease resistance genes and plant hormones and differentially expressed between infected and uninfected barley varieties. Importantly, general response genes, variety-specific and infection-specific genes were also discovered. Our results provide useful information for future barley breeding to resist BaYMV and BaMMV. CONCLUSIONS Our study elucidates transcriptomic adaptations in barley response to BaYMV/BaMMV infection through high-throughput sequencing technique. The analysis outcome from GO and KEGG pathways suggests that BaYMV disease induced regulations in multiple molecular-biology processes and signalling pathways. Moreover, critical DEGs involved in defence and stress tolerance mechanisms were displayed. Further functional investigations focusing on these DEGs contributes to understanding the molecular mechanisms of plant response to BaYMV disease infection, thereby offering precious genetic resources for breeding barley varieties resistant to BaYMV disease.

Abstract
Soilborne pathogens destabilize the yields of Triticeae crops, including barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Although genetic resistance derived from relatives of these species has been utilized to prevent rust diseases (i.e., in the wheat-rye 1BL-1RS translocation line), research on resistance against soilborne pathogens remains limited. Here, we performed field trials using 76 genotypes representing 28 Hordeum, six Triticum, and two Aegilops species to examine resistance against three soilborne bymoviruses: barley yellow mosaic virus (BaYMV), barley mild mosaic virus (BaMMV), and wheat yellow mosaic virus (WYMV). We also performed greenhouse tests using the soilborne fungal pathogen Fusarium pseudograminearum, which causes Fusarium crown rot (FCR). Using RT-PCR, we detected BaMMV and BaYMV in several Hordeum species, whereas WYMV induced systemic infection in the Triticum and Aegilops species. The identification of FCR susceptibility in all species examined suggests that F. pseudograminearum is a facultative fungal pathogen in Triticeae. Intraspecies variation in FCR disease severity was observed for several species, pointing to the possibility of exploring host resistance mechanisms. Therefore, by unlocking the host specificity of four soilborne pathogens in Hordeum species and their relatives, we obtained insights for the further exploration of wild sources of soilborne pathogen resistance for future wheat and barley improvement programs.

Abstract
Regulation of protein synthesis is a strong determinant of potyviral pathogenicity. The Potyviridae family is the largest family of plant-infecting positive sense RNA viruses. Similar to the animal-infecting Picornaviridae family, the potyviral RNA genome lacks a 5' cap, and instead has a viral protein (VPg) linked to its 5' end. Potyviral genomes are mainly translated into one large polyprotein relying on a single translation event to express all their protein repertoire. In the absence of the 5' cap, the Potyviridae family depends on cis-acting elements in their 5' untranslated regions (UTR) to recruit the translation machinery. In this review, we summarize the diverse 5'UTR-driven, cap-independent translation mechanisms employed by the Potyviridae family including scanning-dependent mechanism, internal initiation, and the stimulatory role of the VPg. These mechanisms have direct implications on potyviral pathogenicity, including host range specificity and resistance. Finally, we discuss how these viral strategies could not only inform new avenues for engineering and/or breeding for crop resistance but would also provide opportunities for the development of biotechnological tools for large-scale protein production in plant systems.

Abstract
Plant viruses transmitted by the soilborne plasmodiophorid Polymyxa graminis constantly threaten global production of cereal crops. Although the yellow mosaic virus disease of barley has been known to be present for a long time in China, the understanding of the diversity of the viral pathogens and their interactions with host resistance remains limited. In this study, we conducted a nationwide survey of P. graminis and the barley yellow mosaic virus (BaYMV) and barley mild mosaic virus (BaMMV) it transmits, followed by genomic and pathogenic diversity analyses of both viruses. BaYMV and BaMMV were found exclusively in the region downstream of the Yangtze River, despite the national distribution of its transmission vector P. graminis. Analysis of the genomic variations of BaYMV and BaMMV revealed an elevated rate of nonsynonymous substitutions in the viral genome-linked protein (VPg), in which most substitutions were located in its interaction surface with the host eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E). VPg sequence diversity was associated with the divergence in virus pathogenicity that was identified through multiple field trials. The majority of the resistance genes, including the widely applied rym4 and rym5 (alleles of eIF4E), as well as the combination of rym1/11 and rym5, are not sufficient to protect cultivated barley against viruses in China. Collectively, these results provide insights into virulence specificity and interaction mode with host resistance in cultivated barley, which has significant implications in breeding for the broad-spectrum resistance barley varieties.

Abstract
Background The disease caused by Barley yellow mosaic virus (BaYMV) infection is a serious threat to autumn-sown barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) production in Europe, East Asia and Iran. Due to the rapid diversification of BaYMV strains, it is urgent to discover novel germplasm and genes to assist breeding new varieties with resistance to different BaYMV strains, thus minimizing the effect of BaYMV disease on barley cropping. Methods A natural population consisting of 181 barley accessions with different levels of resistance to BaYMV disease was selected for field resistance identification in two separate locations (Yangzhou and Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, China). Additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) analysis was used to identify accessions with stable resistance. Genome-wide association study (GWAS) of BaYMV disease resistance was broadly performed by combining both single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and specific molecular markers associated with the reported BaYMV disease resistance genes. Furthermore, the viral protein genome linked (VPg) sequences of the virus were amplified and analyzed to assess the differences between the BaYMV strains sourced from the different experimental sites. Results Seven barley accessions with lower standardized Area Under the Disease Progress Steps (sAUDPS) index in every environment were identified and shown to have stable resistance to BaYMV disease in each assessed location. Apart from the reported BaYMV disease resistance genes rym4 and rym5, one novel resistance locus explaining 24.21% of the phenotypic variation was identified at the Yangzhou testing site, while two other novel resistance loci that contributed 19.23% and 19.79% of the phenotypic variation were identified at the Yancheng testing site, respectively. Further analysis regarding the difference in the VPg sequence of the predominant strain of BaYMV collected from these two testing sites may explain the difference of resistance loci differentially identified under geographically distinct regions. Our research provides novel genetic resources and resistance loci for breeding barley varieties for BaMYV disease resistance.

Abstract
The Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 4E (EIF4E) is a well-known susceptibility factor for potyvirus infections in many plant species. The barley yellow mosaic virus disease, caused by the bymoviruses Barley yellow mosaic virus (BaYMV) and Barley mild mosaic virus (BaMMV), can lead to yield losses of up to 50% in winter barley. In autumn, the roots of young barley plants are infected by the soil-borne plasmodiophoraceous parasite Polymyxa graminis L. that serves as viral vector. Upon viral establishment and systemic spreading into the upper parts of the plants, yellow mosaics occur as first symptoms on leaves. In the further course of plant development, the disease entails leaf necrosis and increased susceptibility to frost damage. Thanks to the rym4 and rym5 allelic variants of the HvEIF4E gene, more than two thirds of current European winter barley cultivars are resistant to BaYMV and BaMMV. However, several strains of BaYMV and BaMMV have already overcome rym4- and rym5-mediated resistance. Accordingly, new resistance-conferring alleles are needed for barley breeding. Therefore, we performed targeted mutagenesis of the EIF4E gene by Cas9 endonuclease in BaMMV/BaYMV-susceptible winter barley cv. “Igri”. Small insertions were generated, resulting in a shift of the translational reading frame, thereby causing the loss-of-function of EIF4E. The mutations occurred in the homozygous state already in the primary mutants. Their progeny proved invariably homozygous and fully resistant to mechanical inoculation with BaMMV. EIF4E knockout plants showed normal growth habit and produced grains, yet exhibited a yield penalty.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Barley yellow mosaic disease (BYMD) caused by Barley yellow mosaic virus (BaYMV) and Barley mild mosaic virus (BaMMV) seriously threatens the production of winter barley. Cultivating and promoting varieties that carry disease-resistant genes is one of the most powerful ways to minimize the disease's effect on yield. However, as the BYMD virus mutates rapidly, resistance conferred by the two cloned R genes to the virus had been overcome by new virus strains. There is an urgent need for novel resistance genes in barley that convey sustainable resistance to newly emerging virus strains causing BYMD. RESULTS A doubled haploid (DH) population derived from a cross of SRY01 (BYMD resistant wild barley) and Gairdner (BYMD susceptible barley cultivar) was used to explore for QTL of resistance to BYMD in barley. A total of six quantitative trait loci (qRYM-1H, qRYM-2Ha, qRYM-2Hb, qRYM-3H, qRYM-5H, and qRYM-7H) related to BYMD resistance were detected, which were located on chromosomes 1H, 2H, 3H, 5H, and 7H. Both qRYM-1H and qRYM-2Ha were detected in all environments. qRYM-1H was found to be overlapped with rym7, a known R gene to the disease, whereas qRYM-2Ha is a novel QTL on chromosome 2H originated from SRY01, explaining phenotypic variation from 9.8 to 17.8%. The closely linked InDel markers for qRYM-2Ha were developed which could be used for marker-assisted selection in barley breeding. qRYM-2Hb and qRYM-3H were stable QTL for specific resistance to Yancheng and Yangzhou virus strains, respectively. qRYM-5H and qRYM-7H identified in Yangzhou were originated from Gairdner. CONCLUSIONS Our work is focusing on a virus disease (barley yellow mosaic) of barley. It is the first report on BYMD-resistant QTL from wild barley accessions. One novel major QTL (qRYM-2Ha) for the resistance was detected. The consistently detected new genes will potentially serve as novel sources for achieving pre-breeding barley materials with resistance to BYMD.

Abstract
Wheat yellow mosaic virus (family Potyviridae; genus Bymovirus), is an important soil-borne virus that causes serious economic losses in wheat. In this study, we constructed infectious cDNA clones of WYMV genomic RNAs under the control of 35S or SP6 promoter for versatile usage (agroinfiltration or in vitro RNA transcription). Our results showed that an Agrobacterium-mediated inoculation system enabled WYMV to infect the leaves of Nicotiana benthamiana without causing WYMV systemic infection. However, in vitro transcripts from infectious cDNA clones using the SP6 promoter promoted WYMV systemic infection of wheat plants, which was then developed for further assays. The optimal temperature for virus multiplication and systemic infection of wheat was 8 °C. Additionally, a synergistic effect between WYMV and Chinese wheat mosaic virus (CWMV) was also detected. This is the first report of the construction of a Chinese isolate of WYMV and should facilitate the investigation of viral pathogenesis.

Abstract
Bymovirus-induced yellow mosaic diseases seriously threaten global production of autumn-sown barley and wheat, which are two of the presently most important crops around the world. Under natural field conditions, the diseases are caused by infection of soil-borne plasmodiophorid Polymyxa graminis-transmitted bymoviruses of the genus Bymovirus of the family Potyviridae. Focusing on barley and wheat, this article summarizes the achievements on taxonomy, geography and host specificity of these disease-conferring viruses, as well as the genetics of resistance in barley, wheat and wild relatives. Moreover, based on recent progress of barley and wheat genomics, germplasm resources and large-scale sequencing, the exploration and isolation of corresponding resistant genes from wheat and barley as well as relatives, no matter what a large and complicated genome is present, are becoming feasible and are discussed. Furthermore, the foreseen advances on cloning of the resistance or susceptibility-encoding genes, which will provide the possibility to explore the functional interaction between host plants and soil-borne viral pathogens, are discussed as well as the benefits for marker-assisted resistance breeding in barley and wheat.

In this study, IRES activity of the 5'-UTR in Wheat yellow mosaic virus (WYMV) RNA1 was identified, and the 3'-UTR synergistically enhanced this IRES activity via long-distance RNA-RNA interaction between C80U81and A7574G7575. Within the 5'-UTR, the hairpin 1(H1), flexible hairpin 2 (H2) and linker region (LR1) between H1 and H2 played an essential role in cap-independent translation, which is associated with the structural stability of H1, length of discontinuous stems and nucleotide specificity of the H2 upper loop and the long-distance RNA-RNA interaction sites in LR1. The H2 upper loop is a target region of the eIF4E. Cytosines (C55, C66, C105 and C108) in H1 and H2 and guanines (G73, G79 and G85) in LR1 form discontinuous and alternative base pairing to maintain the dynamic equilibrium state, which is used to elaborately regulate translation at a suitable level. The WYMV RNA1 5'-UTR contains a novel IRES, which is different from reported IRESes because of the dynamic equilibrium state. It is also suggested that robustness not at the maximum level of translation is the selection target during evolution of WYMV RNA1.

Li H, Kondo H, Kühne T, Shirako Y. Barley Yellow Mosaic Virus VPg Is the Determinant Protein for Breaking eIF4E-Mediated Recessive Resistance in Barley Plants. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2016; 7:1449.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the barley yellow mosaic virus (BaYMV, genus Bymovirus) factor(s) responsible for breaking eIF4E-mediated recessive resistance genes (rym4/5/6) in barley. Genome mapping analysis using chimeric infectious cDNA clones between rym5-breaking (JT10) and rym5-non-breaking (JK05) isolates indicated that genome-linked viral protein (VPg) is the determinant protein for breaking the rym5 resistance. Likewise, VPg is also responsible for overcoming the resistances of rym4 and rym6 alleles. Mutational analysis identified that amino acids Ser-118, Thr-120, and His-142 in JT10 VPg are the most critical residues for overcoming rym5 resistance in protoplasts. Moreover, the rym5-non-breaking JK05 could accumulate in the rym5 protoplasts when eIF4E derived from a susceptible barley cultivar was expressed from the viral genome. Thus, the compatibility between VPg and host eIF4E determines the ability of BaYMV to infect barley plants.

Abstract
Winter barley is subjected to severe yield losses due to the yellow mosaic virus disease. Two soil borne bymoviruses, BaYMV (Barley yellow mosaic virus) and BaMMV (Barley mild mosaic virus) are responsible for this disease in Europe. As breeding resistant cultivars is the only control method against the disease, barley varieties carrying the recessive resistance rym4 were introduced. However, a new pathotype BaYMV-2 overcoming rym4 resistance appeared in the late 1980s. In France, little is known about BaYMV-2 and the common BaYMV (BaYMV-1) distribution, but the increase of the disease occurrence is becoming a concern. There is currently no valid molecular tool for BaYMV-1 and BaYMV-2 differentiation; thus the development of a dCAPS (derived Cleaved Amplified Polymorphic Sequences) tool was investigated. BaYMV-1 and BaYMV-2 diversity was first estimated by Sanger sequencing. The Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) previously described as providing the ability to overcome rym4-mediated resistance was targeted. A dCAPS tool was developed to digest specifically BaYMV-1. This assay was successfully tested with seventy naturally infected samples. This new tool will be useful to investigate BaYMV-1 and 2 distributions.
