A geminivirus betasatellite encoded ?C1 protein interacts with PsbP and subverts PsbP-mediated antiviral defence in plants.


ABSTRACT: Geminivirus disease complexes potentially interfere with plants physiology and cause disastrous effects on a wide range of economically important crops throughout the world. Diverse geminivirus betasatellite associations exacerbate the epidemic threat for global food security. Our previous study showed that ?C1, the pathogenicity determinant of geminivirus betasatellites induce symptom development by disrupting the ultrastructure and function of chloroplasts. Here we explored the betasatellite-virus-chloroplast interaction in the scope of viral pathogenesis as well as plant defence responses, using Nicotiana benthamiana-Radish leaf curl betasatellite (RaLCB) as the model system. We have shown an interaction between RaLCB-encoded ?C1 and one of the extrinsic subunit proteins of oxygen-evolving complex of photosystem II both in vitro and in vivo. Further, we demonstrate a novel function of the Nicotiana benthamiana oxygen-evolving enhancer protein 2 (PsbP), in that it binds DNA, including geminivirus DNA. Transient silencing of PsbP in N. benthamiana plants enhances pathogenicity and viral DNA accumulation. Overexpression of PsbP impedes disease development during the early phase of infection, suggesting that PsbP is involved in generation of defence response during geminivirus infection. In addition, ?C1-PsbP interaction hampers non-specific binding of PsbP to the geminivirus DNA. Our findings suggest that betasatellite-encoded ?C1 protein accomplishes counter-defence by physical interaction with PsbP reducing the ability of PsbP to bind geminivirus DNA to establish infection.
