Mutations within A 35 amino acid region of P6 influence self-association, inclusion body formation, and Caulimovirus infectivity.


ABSTRACT: Cauliflower mosaic virus gene VI product (P6) is an essential protein that forms cytoplasmic, inclusion bodies (IBs). P6 contains four regions involved in self-association, termed D1-D4. D3 binds to D1, along with D4 and contains a spacer region (termed D3b) between two RNA-binding domains. Here we show D3b binds full-length P6 along with D1 and D4. Full-length P6s harboring single amino acid substitutions within D3b showed reduced binding to both D1 and D4. Full-length P6s containing D3b mutations and fused with green fluorescent protein formed inclusion-like bodies (IL-Bs) when expressed in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves. However, mutant P6s with reduced binding to D1 and D4, showed smaller IL-Bs, than wild type. Likewise, viruses containing these mutations showed a decrease in inoculated leaf viral DNA levels and reduced efficiency of systemic infection. These data suggest that mutations influencing P6 self-association alter IB formation and reduce virus infection.
