Abstract
HC-Pro and coat protein (CP) genes of a potyvirus facilitate cell-to-cell movement and are involved in the systemic movement of the viruses. The interaction between HC-Pro and CP is mandatory for aphid transmission. Two turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) isolates, RC4 and YC5, were collected from calla lily plants in Taiwan. The virus derived from the infectious clone pYC5 cannot move systemically in Chenopodium quinoa plants and loses aphid transmissibility in Nicotiana benthamiana plants, like the initially isolated virus. Sequence analysis revealed that two amino acids, P5 and A206, of YC5 CP uniquely differ from RC4 and other TuMV strains. Recombination assay and site-directed mutagenesis revealed that the fifth residue of leucine (L) at the N-terminal region of the CP (TuMV-RC4), rather than proline (P) (TuMV-YC5), is critical to permit the systemic spread in C. quinoa plants. Moreover, the single substitution mutant YC5-CPP5L became aphid transmissible, similar to RC4. Fluorescence microscopy revealed that YC5-GFP was restricted in the petioles of inoculated leaves, whereas YC5-CPP5L-GFP translocated through the petioles of inoculated leaves, the main stem, and the petioles of the upper uninoculated leaves of C. quinoa plants. In addition, YC5-GUS was blocked at the basal part of the petiole connecting to the main stem of the inoculated C. quinoa plants, whereas YC5-CPP5L-GFP translocated to the upper leaves. Thus, a single amino acid, the residue L5 at the N-terminal region right before the 6DAG8 motif, is critical for the systemic translocation ability of TuMV in a local lesion host and for aphid transmissibility in a systemic host.
期刊介绍:
Phytopathology publishes articles on fundamental research that advances understanding of the nature of plant diseases, the agents that cause them, their spread, the losses they cause, and measures that can be used to control them. Phytopathology considers manuscripts covering all aspects of plant diseases including bacteriology, host-parasite biochemistry and cell biology, biological control, disease control and pest management, description of new pathogen species description of new pathogen species, ecology and population biology, epidemiology, disease etiology, host genetics and resistance, mycology, nematology, plant stress and abiotic disorders, postharvest pathology and mycotoxins, and virology. Papers dealing mainly with taxonomy, such as descriptions of new plant pathogen taxa are acceptable if they include plant disease research results such as pathogenicity, host range, etc. Taxonomic papers that focus on classification, identification, and nomenclature below the subspecies level may also be submitted to Phytopathology.
