Induction of infectious petunia vein clearing (pararetro) virus from endogenous provirus in petunia.

ABSTRACT: Infection by an endogenous pararetrovirus using forms of both episomal and chromosomal origin has been demonstrated and characterized, together with evidence that petunia vein clearing virus (PVCV) is a constituent of the Petunia hybrida genome. Our findings allow comparative and direct analysis of horizontally and vertically transmitted virus forms and demonstrate their infectivity using biolistic transformation of a provirus-free petunia species. Some integrants within the genome of P.hybrida are arranged in tandem, allowing direct release of virus by transcription. In addition to known inducers of endogenous pararetroviruses, such as genome hybridization, tissue culture and abiotic stresses, we observed activation of PVCV after wounding. Our data also support the hypothesis that the host plant uses DNA methylation to control the endogenous pararetrovirus.

Disturbance of floral colour pattern by activation of an endogenous pararetrovirus, petunia vein clearing virus, in aged petunia plants.

Project description:White areas of star-type bicolour petals of petunia (Petunia hybrida) are caused by post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) of the key enzyme of anthocyanin biosynthesis. We observed blotched flowers and a vein-clearing symptom in aged petunia plants. To determine the cause of blotched flowers, we focused on an endogenous pararetrovirus, petunia vein clearing virus (PVCV), because this virus may have a suppressor of PTGS (VSR). Transcripts and episomal DNAs derived from proviral PVCVs accumulated in aged plants, indicating that PVCV was activated as the host plant aged. Furthermore, DNA methylation of CG and CHG sites in the promoter region of proviral PVCV decreased in aged plants, suggesting that poor maintenance of DNA methylation activates PVCV. In parallel, de novo DNA methylation of CHH sites in its promoter region was also detected. Therefore, both activation and inactivation of PVCV occurred in aged plants. The accumulation of PVCV transcripts and episomal DNAs in blotched regions and the detection of VSR activity support a mechanism in which suppression of PTGS by PVCV causes blotched flowers.

Activation of an endogenous pararetrovirus, petunia vein clearing virus, during long-term cultivation of host plants is associated with disturbance of star-type floral color pattern in Petunia hybrida

Project description:White areas of star-type bicolor petals of petunia (Petunia hybrida) are caused by post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) of the key enzyme of anthocyanin biosynthesis. We observed blotched flowers and vein-clearing symptom in leaves in 3- to 4-month-old petunia plants. In order to determine the cause of blotched flowers, we examined an endogenous pararetrovirus, petunia vein clearing virus (PVCV), because this virus causes vein-clearing symptom and may have a suppressor of PTGS. Transcripts and episomal DNA derived from proviral PVCV loci highly accumulated in 3- to 4-month-old plants, indicating that PVCV was activated as the host plant ages. Furthermore, CG and CHG sites of the promoter region of PVCV were highly methylated in 1-month-old plants but these cytosines were not methylated in 3- to 4-month-old plants, suggesting that poor maintenance of DNA methylation activates propagation of PVCV. In parallel, de novo methylation at CHH sites and 24-nt small RNAs were detected on the promoter region of PVCV, indicating that RNA-directed DNA methylation was induced by PVCV activation. Detections of transcripts and episomal DNA of PVCV in blotched regions and suppressor activity of PTGS support the mechanism that suppression of PTGS by activated PVCV causes blotched flowers.

Characterization of hortulanus endogenous murine leukemia virus, an endogenous provirus that encodes an infectious murine leukemia virus of a novel subgroup.

Project description:Simple retroviruses present a unique opportunity for examining the host-virus relationship. Following exogenous infection and integration into the germ line, copies of these viruses can become fixed within the genome. The resulting endogenous proviral "fossils" represent a record of past retroviral infections and forms. Previous work in our laboratory has been directed at dissecting the extensive nonecotropic murine leukemia virus content of the mouse genome. One such provirus, hortulanus endogenous murine leukemia virus (HEMV), found in a single copy in the genome of Mus spicilegus, was remarkable for characteristics that suggested that it was ancient and related to the hypothetical common ancestor of murine leukemia viruses (MLVs) and other gammaretroviral species. In the present study, we have analyzed its functional properties. Transfection of a molecular clone of the HEMV provirus into mouse-derived cell lines revealed that it is replication competent. Furthermore, host range and interference studies revealed a strictly ecotropic host range and the use of a receptor distinct from those used by other classical MLVs. The identity of nucleotide sequence of the long terminal repeats (LTRs) further suggested that HEMV is a relatively recent insertion into the M. spicilegus genome at the distal end of chromosome 7. Although unique to M. spicilegus, its presence in a homozygous state in three individuals obtained from different regions implies that it has been present long enough to become fixed in this species. Exhaustive phylogenetic analysis of all regions of the HEMV genome supported the previously assigned ancestral position of HEMV relative to other MLV-related viruses. Thus, HEMV is a relatively recent introduction into the Mus germ line but is representative of a relatively ancestral MLV group.

Molecular characterization and In Vitro synthesis of infectious RNA of a Turnip vein-clearing virus isolated from Alliaria petiolata in Hungary.

Project description:A tobamovirus was isolated from leaves of Alliaria petiolata plants, showing vein-clearing, interveinal chlorosis, and moderate deformation. Host range experiments revealed a high similarity of isolate ApH both to ribgrass mosaic viruses and turnip vein-clearing viruses. The complete nucleotide sequence of the viral genome was determined. The genomic RNA is composed of 6312 nucleotides and contains four open reading frames (ORF). ORF1 is 3324 nt-long and encodes a polypeptide of about 125.3 kDa. The ORF1 encoded putative replication protein contains an Alphavirus-like methyltransferase domain. ORF2 is 4806 nt-long and encodes a polypeptide of about 182 kDa. The ORF2 encoded putative replication protein contains an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, catalytic domain. ORF3 encodes the putative cell-to-cell movement protein with a molecular weight of 30.1 kDa. ORF4 overlaps with ORF3 and encodes the coat protein with a size of 17.5 kDa. Sequence comparisons revealed that the ApH isolate has the highest similarity to turnip vein-clearing viruses and should be considered an isolate of Turnip vein-clearing virus (TVCV). This is the first report on the occurrence of TVCV in Hungary. In vitro transcripts prepared from the full-length cDNA clone of TVCV-ApH were highly infectious and induced typical symptoms characteristic to the original isolate of the virus. Since infectious clones of TVCV-ApH and crTMV (another isolate of TVCV) markedly differed in respect to recovery phenotype in Arabidopsis thaliana, it is feasible to carry out gene exchange or mutational studies to determine viral factors responsible for the symptom recovery phenotype.

Characterization of a Strain of Malva Vein Clearing Virus in Alcea rosea via Deep Sequencing.

Project description:Malva vein clearing virus (MVCV) is a member of the Potyvirus species, and has a negative impact on the aesthetic development of Alcea rosea. It was first reported in Germany in 1957, but its complete genome sequence data are still scarce. In the present work, A. rosea leaves with vein-clearing and mosaic symptoms were sampled and analyzed with small RNA deep sequencing. By denovo assembly the raw sequences of virus-derived small interfering RNAs (vsiRs) and whole genome amplification of malva vein cleaning virus SX strain (MVCV-SX) by specific primers targeting identified contig gaps, the full-length genome sequences (9,645 nucleotides) of MVCV-SX were characterized, constituting of an open reading frame that is long enough to encode 3,096 amino acids. Phylogenetic analysis showed that MVCV-SX was clustered with euphorbia ringspot virus and yam mosaic virus. Further analyses of the vsiR profiles revealed that the most abundant MVCV-vsiRs were between 21 and 22 nucleotides in length and a strong bias was found for "A" and "U" at the 5'-terminal residue. The results of polarity assessment indicated that the amount of sense strand was almost equal to that of the antisense strand in MVCV-vsiRs, and the main hot-spot region in MVCV-SX genome was found at cylindrical inclusion. In conclusion, our findings could provide new insights into the RNA silencing-mediated host defence mechanism in A. rosea infected with MVCV-SX, and offer a basis for the prevention and treatment of this virus disease.

The tobamovirus Turnip Vein Clearing Virus 30-kilodalton movement protein localizes to novel nuclear filaments to enhance virus infection.

Project description:Plant viruses overcome the barrier of the plant cell wall by encoding cell-to-cell movement proteins (MPs), which direct newly replicated viral genomes to, and across, the wall. The paradigm for how a single MP regulates and coordinates these activities is the Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) 30-kDa protein (MP(TMV)). Detailed studies demonstrate that TMV multiplies exclusively in the cytoplasm and have documented associations of MP(TMV) with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane, microtubules, and plasmodesmata throughout the course of infection. As TMV poorly infects Arabidopsis thaliana, Turnip vein clearing virus (TVCV) is the tobamovirus of choice for studies in this model plant. A key problem, which has contributed to confusion in the field, is the unproven assumption that the TVCV and TMV life cycles are identical. We engineered an infectious TVCV replicon that expressed a functional fluorescence-tagged MP(TVCV) and report here the unexpected discovery that MP(TVCV), beyond localizing to ER membrane and plasmodesmata, targeted to the nucleus in a nuclear localization signal (NLS)-dependent manner, where it localized to novel F-actin-containing filaments that associated with chromatin. The MP(TVCV) NLS appeared to be conserved in the subgroup 3 tobamoviruses, and our mutational analyses showed that nuclear localization of MP(TVCV) was necessary for efficient TVCV cell-to-cell movement and systemic infection in Nicotiana benthamiana and Arabidopsis thaliana. Our studies identify a novel nuclear stage in TVCV infection and suggest that nuclear MP encoded by TVCV and other subgroup 3 tobamoviruses interacts with F-actin and chromatin to modulate host defenses or cellular physiology to favor virus movement and infection.

Provirus induction in hyperthermophilic archaea: characterization of Aeropyrum pernix spindle-shaped virus 1 and Aeropyrum pernix ovoid virus 1.

Project description:By in silico analysis, we have identified two putative proviruses in the genome of the hyperthermophilic archaeon Aeropyrum pernix, and under special conditions of A. pernix growth, we were able to induce their replication. Both viruses were isolated and characterized. Negatively stained virions of one virus appeared as pleomorphic spindle-shaped particles, 180 to 210 nm by 40 to 55 nm, with tails of heterogeneous lengths in the range of 0 to 300 nm. This virus was named Aeropyrum pernix spindle-shaped virus 1 (APSV1). Negatively stained virions of the other virus appeared as slightly irregular oval particles with one pointed end, while in cryo-electron micrographs, the virions had a regular oval shape and uniform size (70 by 55 nm). The virus was named Aeropyrum pernix ovoid virus 1 (APOV1). Both viruses have circular, double-stranded DNA genomes of 38,049 bp for APSV1 and 13,769 bp for APOV1. Similarities to proteins of other archaeal viruses were limited to the integrase and Dna1-like protein. We propose to classify APOV1 into the family Guttaviridae.

Detection and characterization of citrus tatter leaf virus (CTLV) and citrus yellow vein clearing virus (CYVCV) in citrus trees from Cyprus.

Project description:Citrus tatter leaf virus (CTLV) was firstly reported of in California. After that, it reported in Australia, Korea, Nigeria, Japan, South Africa, and China. The transmission of this virus from plant to plant is very easy with mechanically. Citrus yellow vein clearing virus (CYVCV) was reported on lemon trees in India, Pakistan, Turkey and China. Foliar distortion, necrotic spots, chlorosis and wrinkling symptoms were observed in young lemon orchards in newly established orchards with trees imported from abroad. Therefore, surveys of citrus trees in Cyprus were performed for CTLV and CYVCV from 2013 to 2016. A total of 64 leaf samples from symptomatic citrus trees (41 lemon, 10 orange, 10 mandarin and three grapefruit samples) were collected for total nucleic acid extraction and RT-PCR with CTLV primers to amplify a 309 bp and a 614 bp fragment, respectively, of the 5' end (100%) and high nucleotide sequence identity (99%) with isolates BJNM-2 and QC4 from China and isolate BDZ-1 from Australia. To our knowledge, this is the first report of CTLV from Europe.

Genome characterization of citrus yellow vein-clearing virus: limited heterogeneity of viral genomes in Mandarivirus-infecting different citrus species.

Project description:Citrus yellow vein-clearing virus (CYVCV) is a mandarivirus infecting citrus producing yellow vein-clearing symptoms. The leaf samples collected during surveys of different citrus-growing areas in India exhibited diverse symptoms and 40% of the plants were positive for CYVCV in RT-PCR, indicating the wide distribution of the virus in India. It was reported for first time that CYVCV infects kinnow mandarin and sweet oranges and produces chlorotic ringspots symptoms identical to Indian citrus ringspot virus (ICRSV). The complete genome sequences of CYVCV infecting four citrus cultivars have been deciphered through overlapping primers. All the four genomes comprise of 7531 nucleotides excluding the 3' poly (A) tail. The sequence identity of genomes of four CYVCV isolates in the present study ranged from 95.2 to 99.8% with genome sequences of 31 CYVCV isolates available in public domain and the mean genomic diversity was 0.017, indicating low level of heterogeneity. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that CYVCV isolates from India, Pakistan, and Turkey were clustered in the same clad apart from China isolates. The least normalized dN/dS mean value (0.092) indicated that RdRP region evolved under relatively stronger selection constraints than the other five coding regions of CYVCV. The four intragenic putative recombination events detected in RDP4 program occurred naturally in CYVCV genome, indicating the evolutionary progress of the virus. Tajima's and Fu and Li's D parameters were performed using genomic sequences in DnaSP v5 program and the retrieved negative values indicated the presence of limited genetic variability in CYVCV genomes. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive report on molecular characterization of CYVCV from India. It will be helpful in understanding the evolutionary relationship of CYVCV and ICRSV.
