Turnip yellows virus (TuYV) is a plant virus infecting important crops such as oilseed rape. TuYV is phloem-restricted and transmitted by aphids. The capsid contains two subunit types: the major capsid protein (CP) and a minor component (RTP∗) which arises from the C-terminal cleavage of a readthrough product (RTP). RTP∗ contains the CP sequence fused with a structured domain, denoted NRTD, which is a key determinant of virus transmission. Though both CP and RTP∗ are involved in virus movement and aphid transmission, how RTP∗ is incorporated into the capsid is poorly understood. We present here the structural characterisation, by immunogold labelling and 3D cryo-EM, of the wild-type TuYV and a mutant whose capsid contains the CP only. We show that incorporation of RTP∗ does not impair the capsid structure, and the NRTD does not adopt well-defined positions at the capsid surface. The number of incorporated RTP∗s suggests a random insertion.
期刊介绍:
Launched in 1955, Virology is a broad and inclusive journal that welcomes submissions on all aspects of virology including plant, animal, microbial and human viruses. The journal publishes basic research as well as pre-clinical and clinical studies of vaccines, anti-viral drugs and their development, anti-viral therapies, and computational studies of virus infections. Any submission that is of broad interest to the community of virologists/vaccinologists and reporting scientifically accurate and valuable research will be considered for publication, including negative findings and multidisciplinary work.Virology is open to reviews, research manuscripts, short communication, registered reports as well as follow-up manuscripts.
