Structure-Based Regulatory Role for the 5′UTR of RCNMV RNA2. Viruses 2023; 15:v15030722. [PMID: 36992432 PMCID: PMC10057905 DOI: 10.3390/v15030722] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2023] [Revised: 03/03/2023] [Accepted: 03/07/2023] [Indexed: 03/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Red clover necrotic mosaic virus (RCNMV) is a segmented positive-strand RNA virus consisting of RNA1 and RNA2. Previous studies demonstrated that efficient translation of RCNMV RNA2 requires de novo synthesis of RNA2 during infections, suggesting that RNA2 replication is required for its translation. We explored a potential mechanism underlying the regulation of replication-associated translation of RNA2 by examining RNA elements in its 5′ untranslated region (5′UTR). Structural analysis of the 5′UTR suggested that it can form two mutually exclusive configurations: a more thermodynamically stable conformation, termed the 5′-basal stem structure (5′BS), in which 5′-terminal sequences are base paired, and an alternative conformation, where the 5′-end segment is single stranded. Functional mutational analysis of the 5′UTR structure indicated that (i) 43S ribosomal subunits enter at the very 5′-end of RNA2; (ii) the alternative conformation, containing unpaired 5′-terminal nucleotides, mediates efficient translation; (iii) the 5′BS conformation, with a paired 5′-end segment, supresses translation; and (iv) the 5′BS conformation confers stability to RNA2 from 5′-to-3′ exoribonuclease Xrn1. Based on our results, we suggest that during infections, newly synthesized RNA2s transiently adopt the alternative conformation to allow for efficient translation, then refold into the 5′BS conformation, which supresses translation and promotes efficient RNA2 replication. The potential advantages of this proposed 5′UTR-based regulatory mechanism for coordinating RNA2 translation and replication are discussed.

Abstract
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E1 (eIF4E1) is required for the initiation of protein synthesis. The biological function of eIF4E1 in plant-potyvirus interactions has been extensively studied. However, the role of eIF4E1 in Arabidopsis development remains unclear. In this study, we show that eIF4E1 is highly expressed in the embryo and root apical meristem. In addition, eIF4E1 expression is induced by auxin. eIF4E1 mutants show embryonic cell division defects and short primary roots, a result of reduced cell divisions. Furthermore, our results show that mutation in eIF4E1 severely reduces the accumulation of PIN-FORMED (PIN) proteins and decreases auxin-responsive gene expression at the root tip. Yeast two-hybrid assays identified that eIF4E1 interacts with an RAC/ROP GTPase activator, RopGEF7, which has been previously reported to be involved in the maintenance of the root apical meristem. The interaction between eIF4E1 and RopGEF7 is confirmed by protein pull-down and bimolecular fluorescent complementation assays in plant cells. Taken together, our results demonstrated that eIF4E1 is important for auxin-regulated embryo development and root growth. The eIF4E1-RopGEF7 interaction suggests that eIF4E1 may act through ROP signaling to regulate auxin transport, thus regulating auxin-dependent patterning.

Abstract
Plant viruses are important pathogens that cause serious crop losses worldwide. They are obligate intracellular parasites that commandeer a wide array of proteins, as well as metabolic resources, from infected host cells. In the past two decades, our knowledge of plant-virus interactions at the molecular level has exploded, which provides insights into how plant-infecting viruses co-opt host cellular machineries to accomplish their infection. Here, we review recent advances in our understanding of how plant viruses divert cellular components from their original roles to proviral functions. One emerging theme is that plant viruses have versatile strategies that integrate a host factor that is normally engaged in plant defense against invading pathogens into a viral protein complex that facilitates viral infection. We also highlight viral manipulation of cellular key regulatory systems for successful virus infection: posttranslational protein modifications for fine control of viral and cellular protein dynamics; glycolysis and fermentation pathways to usurp host resources, and ion homeostasis to create a cellular environment that is beneficial for viral genome replication. A deeper understanding of viral-infection strategies will pave the way for the development of novel antiviral strategies.

Abstract
Translation is a fundamental step in gene expression that regulates multiple developmental and stress responses. One key step of translation initiation is the association between eIF4E and eIF4G. This process is regulated in different eukaryotes by proteins that bind to eIF4E; however, evidence of eIF4E-interacting proteins able to regulate translation is missing in plants. Here, we report the discovery of CERES, a plant eIF4E-interacting protein. CERES contains an LRR domain and a canonical eIF4E-binding site. Although the CERES-eIF4E complex does not include eIF4G, CERES forms part of cap-binding complexes, interacts with eIF4A, PABP and eIF3, and co-sediments with translation initiation complexes in vivo. Moreover, CERES promotes translation in vitro and general translation in vivo, while it modulates the translation of specific mRNAs related to light and carbohydrate response. These data suggest that CERES is a non-canonical translation initiation factor that modulates translation in plants.

Abstract
Carnation ringspot virus (CRSV) is the prototype virus of the genus Dianthovirus. Full-length cDNAs of CRSV strainsPV-0097 and PV-21 were constructed and the infectivity of in vitro transcripts was analyzed. Infectivity of PV-0097 and PV-21 to several plants was markedly higher than that of 1.30, a previously reported infectious CRSV clone. Overall RNA sequences of these viruses were similar, but PV-0097 and PV-21 contained additional nucleotides at the 5' end of RNA1. Stem-loop structures were predicted in the 5'-terminal region of PV-0097 and PV-21 RNA1 but not in 1.30 RNA1. Mutant CRSV 1.30 RNA1 that contains the terminal 4 nucleotides of PV-0097, predicted to fold a 5'-terminal stem-loop structure, recovered higher level accumulation of viral RNAs in the inoculated protoplasts and leaves of Nicotiana benthamiana. These results suggest that the 5'-terminal stem-loop structure of CRSV RNA1 plays an important role in efficient amplification of the virus.

Abstract
Cellular responses to oxygen deprivation are essential for survival during energy crises in plants and animals. Hypoxia caused by submergence results in reprogramming of translation dynamic in plants, but the molecular mechanisms are not well understood. Here we show that Arabidopsis Snf1-related protein kinase 1 (SnRK1) phosphorylates the translation initiation factor eIFiso4G to regulate translation dynamic under submergence. In Arabidopsis, there are two eIFiso4G genes, eIFiso4G1 and eIFiso4G2, which belong to the eIF4G family. Both eIFiso4Gs were phosphorylated by SnRK1 under submergence. Interestingly, the eIFiso4G1 knockout mutant, but not the eIFiso4G2 mutant, became more sensitive to submergence, implying that eIFiso4G1 is involved in regulating submergence tolerance in Arabidopsis. Comparison of RNA sequences in the polysome fraction and the RNAs immunoprecipitated by eIFiso4G1 from Col-0 and the SnRK1 and eIFiso4G1 mutants revealed that lack of eIFiso4G1 phosphorylation disrupts the translation of specific mRNAs under submergence. Taken together, our findings suggest that the SnRK1-eIFiso4G1 relay controls the translation of an array of genes under hypoxia, including core hypoxia response genes and genes related to stress response and biosynthetic process.

Abstract
Plant viruses are responsible for losses in worldwide production of numerous economically important food and fuel crops. As obligate cellular parasites with very small genomes, viruses rely on their hosts for replication, assembly, intra- and intercellular movement, and attraction of vectors for dispersal. Chloroplasts are photosynthesis and are the site of replication for several viruses. When viruses replicate in chloroplasts, photosynthesis, an essential process in plant physiology, is inhibited. The mechanisms underlying molecular and biochemical changes during compatible and incompatible plants-virus interactions, are only beginning to be elucidated, including changes in proteomic profiles induced by virus infections. In this review, we highlight the importance of proteomic studies to understand plant-virus interactions, especially emphasizing the changes in photosynthesis-related protein accumulation. We focus on: (a) chloroplast proteins that differentially accumulate during viral infection; (b) the significance with respect to chloroplast-virus interaction; and (c) alterations in plant's energetic metabolism and the subsequently the plant defense mechanisms to overcome viral infection.

Abstract
Receptor for activated C kinase 1 (RACK1) is strictly conserved across eukaryotes and acts as a versatile scaffold protein involved in various signaling pathways. Plant RACK1 is known to exert important functions in innate immunity against fungal and bacterial pathogens. However, the role of the RACK1 in plant-virus interactions remains unknown. Here, we addressed the role of RACK1 of Nicotiana benthamiana during infection by red clover necrotic mosaic virus (RCNMV), a plant positive-stranded RNA virus. NbRACK1 was shown to be recruited by the p27 viral replication protein into endoplasmic reticulum-derived aggregated structures (possible replication sites). Downregulation of NbRACK1 by virus-induced gene silencing inhibited viral cap-independent translation and p27-mediated reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, which are prerequisite for RCNMV replication. We also found that NbRACK1 interacted with a host calcium-dependent protein kinase (NbCDPKiso2) that activated a ROS-generating enzyme. Interestingly, NbRACK1 was required for the interaction of p27 with NbCDPKiso2, suggesting that NbRACK1 acts as a bridge between the p27 viral replication protein and NbCDPKiso2. Collectively, our findings provide an example of a viral strategy in which a host multifaceted scaffold protein RACK1 is highjacked for promoting viral protein-triggered ROS production necessary for robust viral replication.

Abstract
The genome of red clover necrotic mosaic virus is divided into two positive-stranded RNA molecules of RNA1 and RNA2, which have no 5' cap structure and no 3' poly(A) tail. Previously, we showed that any mutations in the cis-acting RNA replication elements of RNA2 abolished its cap-independent translational activity, suggesting a strong link between RNA replication and translation. Here, we investigated the functions of the 5' untranslated region (UTR) of RNA2 and revealed that the basal stem-structure (5'BS) predicted in the 5' UTR is essential for robust RNA replication. Interestingly, RNA2 mutants with substitution or deletion in the right side of the 5'BS showed strong translational activity, despite their impaired replication competency. Furthermore, nucleotide sequences other than the 5'BS of the 5' UTR were essential to facilitate the replication-associated translation. Overall, these cis-acting RNA elements seem to coordinately regulate the balance between RNA replication and replication-associated translation.

Abstract
Most of the positive-strand RNA plant viruses lack the 5'-cap and/or the poly(A)-tail that act synergistically to stimulate canonical translation of cellular mRNAs. However, they have RNA elements in the 5'- or 3'-untranslated regions of their RNAs that are required for their cap-independent translation. Cap-independent translation enhancers (CITEs) have been identified in the genomic 3'-end of viruses belonging to the family Tombusviridae and the genus Luteovirus. Seven classes of 3'-CITEs have been described to date based on their different RNA structures. They generally control the efficient formation of the translation initiation complex by varying mechanisms. Some 3'-CITEs bind eukaryotic translation initiation factors, others ribosomal subunits, bridging these to the 5'-end by different mechanisms, often long-distance RNA-RNA interactions. As previously proposed and recently found in one case in nature, 3'-CITEs are functionally independent elements that are transferable through recombination between viral genomes, leading to potential advantages for virus multiplication. In this review, the knowledge on 3'-CITEs and their functioning is updated. We also suggest that there is local structural conservation in the regions interacting with eIF4E of 3'-CITEs belonging to different classes.
