Characterization of Maize miRNAs in Response to Synergistic Infection of Maize Chlorotic Mottle Virus and Sugarcane Mosaic Virus.

ABSTRACT: The synergistic infection of maize chlorotic mottle virus (MCMV) and sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) causes maize lethal necrosis, with considerable losses to global maize production. microRNAs (miRNAs) are conserved non-coding small RNAs that play essential regulatory roles in plant development and environmental stress responses, including virus infection. However, the characterization of maize miRNAs in response to synergistic infection of MCMV and SCMV remains largely unknown. In this study, the profiles of small RNAs from MCMV and SCMV single- and co-infected (S + M) maize plants were obtained by high-throughput sequencing. A total of 173 known miRNAs, belonging to 26 miRNA families, and 49 novel miRNAs were profiled. The expression patterns of most miRNAs in S + M-infected maize plants were similar to that in SCMV-infected maize plants, probably due to the existence of RNA silencing suppressor HC-Pro. Northern blotting and quantitative real-time PCR were performed to validate the accumulation of miRNAs and their targets in different experimental treatments, respectively. The down-regulation of miR159, miR393, and miR394 might be involved in antiviral defense to synergistic infection. These results provide novel insights into the regulatory networks of miRNAs in maize plants in response to the synergistic infection of MCMV and SCMV.

Further characterization of Maize chlorotic mottle virus and its synergistic interaction with Sugarcane mosaic virus in maize.

Project description:Maize chlorotic mottle virus (MCMV) was first reported in maize in China in 2009. In this study we further analyzed the epidemiology of MCMV and corn lethal necrosis disease (CLND) in China. We determined that CLND observed in China was caused by co-infection of MCMV and sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV). Phylogenetic analysis using four full-length MCMV cDNA sequences obtained in this study and the available MCMV sequences retrieved from GenBank indicated that Chinese MCMV isolates were derived from the same source. To screen for maize germplasm resistance against MCMV infection, we constructed an infectious clone of MCMV isolate YN2 (pMCMV) and developed an Agrobacterium-mediated injection procedure to allow high throughput inoculations of maize with the MCMV infectious clone. Electron microscopy showed that chloroplast photosynthesis in leaves was significantly impeded by the co-infection of MCMV and SCMV. Mitochondria in the MCMV and SCMV co-infected cells were more severely damaged than in MCMV-infected cells. The results of this study provide further insight into the epidemiology of MCMV in China and shed new light on physiological and cytopathological changes related to CLND in maize.

Recombinase Polymerase Amplification Assay for Simultaneous Detection of Maize Chlorotic Mottle Virus and Sugarcane Mosaic Virus in Maize.

Project description:Maize chlorotic mottle virus (MCMV) can cause maize lethal necrosis (MLN) when coinfected with potyvirids, such as sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV), maize dwarf mosaic virus, or wheat streak mosaic virus. MLN is often caused by coinfection of MCMV and SCMV, which has been reported in China and several countries of Africa. In this study, a recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) assay was established for simultaneous detection of MCMV and SCMV in maize. The RPA assay can be completed within 30 min at 38 °C. The primers for the RPA assay were specific since no crossreaction was detected with other selected viruses that infected maize in China. The detection limit of the RPA method was 102 copies μL-1, which was about 10-fold more sensitive than that of the conventional PCR method. Moreover, the RPA assay can be successfully applied to detect maize samples collected in the field. These results demonstrated that the established RPA assay is a rapid and efficient method to conduct simultaneous detection of MCMV and SCMV, which provides an alternative technology for MLN diagnosis.

Characterization of maize miRNAs responsive to maize Iranian mosaic virus infection.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play key regulatory roles in the plant's response to biotic and abiotic stresses and have fundamental functions in plant-virus interactions. The study of changes in miRNAs in response to virus infection can provide molecular details for a better understanding of virus-host interactions. Maize Iranian mosaic virus (MIMV) infects maize and certain other poaceous plants but miRNA changes in response to MIMV infection are unknown. In the present study, we compared the miRNA profiles of MIMV-infected and uninfected maize and characterized their predicted roles in response to the virus. Small RNA sequencing of maize identified 257 conserved miRNAs of 26 conserved families in uninfected and MIMV-infected maize libraries. Among them, miR395, miR166 and miR156 family members were highly represented. Small RNA data were confirmed using RT-qPCR. In addition, 33 potential novel miRNAs were predicted. The data show that 13 miRNAs were up-regulated and 113 were down-regulated in response to MIMV infection. Several of those miRNAs are known to be important in the response to plant pathogens. To determine the potential roles of individual miRNAs in response to MIMV, miRNA targets, predicted interactions with circular RNAs and comparative transcriptome data were analyzed. The expression profiles of different miRNAs in response to MIMV provide novel insights into the roles of miRNAs in the interaction between MIMV and maize plants.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13205-022-03134-1.

Electrostatic properties of cowpea chlorotic mottle virus and cucumber mosaic virus capsids.

Project description:Electrostatic properties of cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV) and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) were investigated using numerical solutions to the Poisson-Boltzmann equation. Experimentally, it has been shown that CCMV particles swell in the absence of divalent cations when the pH is raised from 5 to 7. CMV, although structurally homologous, does not undergo this transition. An analysis of the calculated electrostatic potential confirms that a strong electrostatic repulsion at the calcium-binding sites in the CCMV capsid is most likely the driving force for the capsid swelling process during the release of calcium. The binding interaction between the encapsulated genome material (RNA) inside of the capsid and the inner capsid shell is weakened during the swelling transition. This probably aids in the RNA release process, but it is unlikely that the RNA is released through capsid openings due to unfavorable electrostatic interaction between the RNA and capsid inner shell residues at these openings. Calculations of the calcium binding energies show that Ca(2+) can bind both to the native and swollen forms of the CCMV virion. Favorable binding to the swollen form suggests that Ca(2+) ions can induce the capsid contraction and stabilize the native form.

Transmission, localization, and infectivity of seedborne maize chlorotic mottle virus.

Project description:Maize lethal necrosis is a destructive virus disease of maize caused by maize chlorotic mottle virus (MCMV) in combination with a virus in the family Potyviridae. Emergence of MLN is typically associated with the introduction of MCMV or its vectors and understanding its spread through seed is critical for disease management. Previous studies suggest that although MCMV is detected on seed, the seed transmission rate of this virus is low. However, mechanisms influencing its transmission are poorly understood. Elucidating these mechanisms is crucial for informing strategies to prevent spread on contaminated seed. In this study, we evaluated the rate of MCMV seed transmission using seed collected from plants that were artificially inoculated with MCMV isolates from Hawaii and Kenya. Grow-out tests indicated that MCMV transmission through seed was rare, with a rate of 0.004% among the more than 85,000 seed evaluated, despite detection of MCMV at high levels in the seed lots. To understand factors that limit transmission from seed, MCMV distribution in seed tissues was examined using serology and immunolocalization. The virus was present at high levels in maternal tissues, the pericarp and pedicel, but absent from filial endosperm and embryo seed tissues. The ability to transmit MCMV from seed to uninfected plants was tested to evaluate virus viability. Transmission was negatively associated with both seed maturity and moisture content. Transmission of MCMV from infested seed dried to less than 15% moisture was not detected, suggesting proper handling could be important for minimizing spread of MCMV through seed.

The structure of cucumber mosaic virus and comparison to cowpea chlorotic mottle virus.

Project description:The structure of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV; strain Fny) has been determined to a 3.2-A resolution using X-ray crystallography. Despite the fact that CMV has only 19% capsid protein sequence identity (34% similarity) to cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV), the core structures of these two members of the Bromoviridae family are highly homologous. As suggested by a previous low-resolution structural study, the 305-A diameter (maximum) of CMV is approximately 12 A larger than that of CCMV. In CCMV, the structures of the A, B, and C subunits are nearly identical except in their N termini. In contrast, the structures of two loops in subunit A of CMV differ from those in B and C. These loops are 6 and 7 residues longer than the analogous regions in CCMV. Unlike that of CCMV, the capsid of CMV does not undergo swelling at pH 7.0 and is stable at pH 9.0. This may be partly due to the fact that the N termini of the B and C subunits form a unique bundle of six amphipathic helices oriented down into the virion core at the threefold axes. In addition, while CCMV has a cluster of aspartic acid residues at the quasi-threefold axis that are proposed to bind metal in a pH-dependent manner, this cluster is replaced by complementing acids and bases in CMV. Finally, this structure clearly demonstrates that the residues important for aphid transmission lie at the outermost portion of the betaH-betaI loop and yields details of the portions of the virus that are hypothesized to mediate binding to aphid mouthparts.

The coat protein p25 from maize chlorotic mottle virus involved in symptom development and systemic movement of tobacco mosaic virus hybrids.

Project description:Viral coat protein (CP) has numerous critical functions in plant infection, but little is known about p25, the CP of maize chlorotic mottle virus (MCMV; Machlomovirus), which causes severe yield losses in maize worldwide. Here, we investigated the roles of p25 in pathogenicity and systemic movement, as well as potential interactions with host plants, using a hybrid tobacco mosaic virus (TMV)-based expression system. Highly conserved protein p25 is predicted to contain a membrane-anchored nuclear localization signal (NLS) sequence and an extracellular sequence. In transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana plants containing the movement protein (MP) of TMV (TMV-MP), p25 induced severe symptoms, including dwarf and foliar necrosis, and was detected in inoculated and non-inoculated leaves. After the deletion of NLS from nuclear-located p25, the protein was found throughout the host cell, and plant stunting and starch granule deformity were reduced. Systemic movement and pathogenicity were significantly impaired when the C-terminal regions of p25 were absent. Using virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS), the transcript level of heat shock protein HSP90 was distinctly lower in host plants in association with the absence of leaf necrosis induced by TMV-p25. Our results revealed crucial roles for MCMV p25 in viral pathogenicity, long-distance movement, and interactions with N. benthamiana.

The complete nucleotide sequence of the maize chlorotic mottle virus genome.

Project description:The complete nucleotide sequence of the maize chlorotic mottle virus (MCMV) genome has been determined to be 4437 nucleotides. The viral genome has four long open reading frames (ORFs) which could encode polypeptides of 31.6, 50, 8.9 and 25.1 kd. If the termination codons, for the polypeptides encoded by the 50 and 8.9 kd ORFs are suppressed, readthrough products of 111 and 32.7 kd result. The 31.6 and 50 kd ORFs overlap for nearly the entire length of the 31.6 kd ORF. Striking amino acid homology has been observed between two potential polypeptides encoded by MCMV and polypeptides encoded by carnation mottle virus (CarMV) and turnip crinkle virus (TCV). The 25.1 kd ORF most likely encodes the capsid protein. The similar genome organization and amino acid sequence homology of MCMV with CarMV and TCV suggest an evolutionary relationship with these members of the carmovirus group.

Maize chlorotic mottle virus exhibits low divergence between differentiated regional sub-populations.

Project description:Maize chlorotic mottle virus has been rapidly spreading around the globe over the past decade. The interactions of maize chlorotic mottle virus with Potyviridae viruses causes an aggressive synergistic viral condition - maize lethal necrosis, which can cause total yield loss. Maize production in sub-Saharan Africa, where it is the most important cereal, is threatened by the arrival of maize lethal necrosis. We obtained maize chlorotic mottle virus genome sequences from across East Africa and for the first time from Ecuador and Hawaii, and constructed a phylogeny which highlights the similarity of Chinese to African isolates, and Ecuadorian to Hawaiian isolates. We used a measure of clustering, the adjusted Rand index, to extract region-specific SNPs and coding variation that can be used for diagnostics. The population genetics analysis we performed shows that the majority of sequence diversity is partitioned between populations, with diversity extremely low within China and East Africa.
