Comparison of the 5' and 3' termini of tomato ringspot virus RNA1 and RNA2: evidence for RNA recombination.

ABSTRACT: The sequences of the 5' terminal 1140 and 3' terminal 1546 nt of tomato ringspot virus (TomRSV) RNA1 have been determined. These sequences share a high degree of nucleotide sequence similarity with the previously determined TomRSV RNA2 sequence. Eighty-eight percent of the 5' terminal 907 nt of TomRSV RNA1 and RNA2 contain identical nucleotide residues; the first 459 nt are identical at all positions, whereas the next 447 nt are identical at only 75.8% of the nucleotide positions. The region of similarity includes not only the 5' nontranslated leader but also sequence probably encoding polyproteins. The 3' terminal 1533 nt of TomRSV RNA1 and RNA2 are identical and are noncoding. The sequences common to RNA1 and RNA2 account for almost 35% of the total genomic sequence. It is possible that the similar sequences at both ends of TomRSV RNA1 and RNA2 are a result of recombination between these two genomic RNA components.

Long-distance base pairing in flock house virus RNA1 regulates subgenomic RNA3 synthesis and RNA2 replication.

Project description:Replication of flock house virus (FHV) RNA1 and production of subgenomic RNA3 in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae provide a useful tool for the dissection of FHV molecular biology and host-encoded functions involved in RNA replication. The replication template activity of RNA1 can be separated from its coding potential by supplying the RNA1-encoded replication factor protein A in trans. We constructed a trans-replication system in yeast to examine cis-acting elements in RNA1 that control RNA3 production, as well as RNA1 and RNA2 replication. Two cis elements controlling RNA3 production were found. A proximal subgenomic control element was located just upstream of the RNA3 start site (nucleotides [nt] 2282 to 2777). A short distal element also controlling RNA3 production (distal subgenomic control element) was identified 1.5 kb upstream, at nt 1229 to 1239. Base pairing between these distal and proximal elements was shown to be essential for RNA3 production by covariation analysis and in vivo selection of RNA3-expressing replicons from plasmid libraries containing random sequences in the distal element. Two distinct RNA1 replication elements (RE) were mapped within the 3' quarter of RNA1: the intRE (nt 2322 to 2501) and the 3'RE (nt 2735 to 3011). The 3'RE significantly overlaps the RNA3 region in RNA1, and this information was applied to produce improved RNA3-based vectors for foreign-gene expression. In addition, replication of an RNA2 derivative was dependent on RNA1 templates capable of forming the long-distance interaction that controls RNA3 production.

Mapping of sequences in the 5' region and 3' UTR of tomato ringspot virus RNA2 that facilitate cap-independent translation of reporter transcripts in vitro.

Project description:Tomato ringspot virus (ToRSV, genus Nepovirus, family Secoviridae, order Picornavirales) is a bipartite positive-strand RNA virus, with each RNA encoding one large polyprotein. ToRSV RNAs are linked to a 5'-viral genome-linked protein (VPg) and have a 3' polyA tail, suggesting a non-canonical cap-independent translation initiation mechanism. The 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) of RNA1 and RNA2 are unusually long (~1.5 kb) and share several large stretches of sequence identities. Several putative in-frame start codons are present in the 5' regions of the viral RNAs, which are also highly conserved between the two RNAs. Using reporter transcripts containing the 5' region and 3' UTR of the RNA2 of ToRSV Rasp1 isolate (ToRSV-Rasp1) and in vitro wheat germ extract translation assays, we provide evidence that translation initiates exclusively at the first AUG, in spite of a poor codon context. We also show that both the 5' region and 3' UTR of RNA2 are required for efficient cap-independent translation of these transcripts. We identify translation-enhancing elements in the 5' proximal coding region of the RNA2 polyprotein and in the RNA2 3' UTR. Cap-dependent translation of control reporter transcripts was inhibited when RNAs consisting of the RNA2 3' UTR were supplied in trans. Taken together, our results suggest the presence of a CITE in the ToRSV-Rasp1 RNA2 3' UTR that recruits one or several translation factors and facilitates efficient cap-independent translation together with the 5' region of the RNA. Non-overlapping deletion mutagenesis delineated the putative CITE to a 200 nts segment (nts 773-972) of the 1547 nt long 3' UTR. We conclude that the general mechanism of ToRSV RNA2 translation initiation is similar to that previously reported for the RNAs of blackcurrant reversion virus, another nepovirus. However, the position, sequence and predicted structures of the translation-enhancing elements differed between the two viruses.

A trans-activator-like structure in RCNMV RNA1 evokes the origin of the trans-activator in RNA2.

Project description:The Red clover necrotic mosaic virus (RCNMV) genome consists of two plus-strand RNA genome segments, RNA1 and RNA2. RNA2 contains a multifunctional RNA structure known as the trans-activator (TA) that (i) promotes subgenomic mRNA transcription from RNA1, (ii) facilitates replication of RNA2, and (iii) mediates particle assembly and copackaging of genome segments. The TA has long been considered a unique RNA element in RCNMV. However, by examining results from RCNMV genome analyses in the ViRAD virus (re-)annotation database, a putative functional RNA element in the polymerase-coding region of RNA1 was identified. Structural and functional analyses revealed that the novel RNA element adopts a TA-like structure (TALS) and, similar to the requirement of the TA for RNA2 replication, the TALS is necessary for the replication of RNA1. Both the TA and TALS possess near-identical asymmetrical internal loops that are critical for efficient replication of their corresponding genome segments, and these structural motifs were found to be functionally interchangeable. Moreover, replacement of the TA in RNA2 with a stabilized form of the TALS directed both RNA2 replication and packaging of both genome segments. Based on their comparable properties and considering evolutionary factors, we propose that the TALS appeared de novo in RNA1 first and, subsequently, the TA arose de novo in RNA2 as a functional mimic of the TALS. This and other related information were used to formulate a plausible evolutionary pathway to describe the genesis of the bi-segmented RCNMV genome. The resulting scenario provides an evolutionary framework to further explore and test possible origins of this segmented RNA plant virus.

Interspecific Recombination Between Zucchini Tigre Mosaic Virus and Papaya Ringspot Virus Infecting Cucurbits in China.

Project description:Recombination drives evolution of single-stranded RNA viruses and contributes to virus adaptation to new hosts and environmental conditions. Intraspecific recombinants are common in potyviruses, the largest family of single-stranded RNA viruses, whereas interspecific recombinants are rare. Here, we report an interspecific recombination event between papaya ringspot potyvirus (PRSV) and zucchini tigre mosaic potyvirus (ZTMV), two potyviruses infecting cucurbit crops and sharing similar biological characteristics and close phylogenetic relationship. The PRSV-ZTMV recombinants were detected through small RNA sequencing of viruses infecting cucurbit samples from Guangxi and Henan provinces of China. The complete nucleotide (nt) sequences of the interspecific recombinant viruses were determined using overlapping RT-PCR. Multiple sequence alignment, recombination detection analysis and phylogenetic analysis confirmed the interspecific recombination event, and revealed an additional intraspecific recombination event among ZTMV populations in China. The symptoms and host ranges of two interspecific recombinant isolates, KF8 and CX1, were determined through experimental characterization using cDNA infectious clones. Surveys in 2017 and 2018 indicated that the incidences of the interspecific recombinant virus were 16 and 19.4%, respectively, in cucurbits in Kaifeng of Henan province. The identified interspecific recombinant virus between PRSV and ZTMV and the novel recombination pattern with the recombination site in HC-pro in potyvirid provide insights into the prevalence and evolution of ZTMV and PRSV in cucurbits.

Recombination analysis of Soybean mosaic virus sequences reveals evidence of RNA recombination between distinct pathotypes.

Project description:RNA recombination is one of the two major factors that create RNA genome variability. Assessing its incidence in plant RNA viruses helps understand the formation of new isolates and evaluate the effectiveness of crop protection strategies. To search for recombination in Soybean mosaic virus (SMV), the causal agent of a worldwide seed-borne, aphid-transmitted viral soybean disease, we obtained all full-length genome sequences of SMV as well as partial sequences encoding the N-terminal most (P1 protease) and the C-terminal most (capsid protein; CP) viral protein. The sequences were analyzed for possible recombination events using a variety of automatic and manual recombination detection and verification approaches. Automatic scanning identified 3, 10, and 17 recombination sites in the P1, CP, and full-length sequences, respectively. Manual analyses confirmed 10 recombination sites in three full-length SMV sequences. To our knowledge, this is the first report of recombination between distinct SMV pathotypes. These data imply that different SMV pathotypes can simultaneously infect a host cell and exchange genetic materials through recombination. The high incidence of SMV recombination suggests that recombination plays an important role in SMV evolution. Obtaining additional full-length sequences will help elucidate this role.

Comparison of the genome organization of toro- and coronaviruses: evidence for two nonhomologous RNA recombination events during Berne virus evolution.

Project description:Recently, toroviruses and coronaviruses have been found to be ancestrally related by divergence of their polymerase and envelope proteins from common ancestors. In addition, their genome organization and expression strategy, which involves the synthesis of a 3'-coterminal nested set of mRNAs, are comparable. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the genome of the torovirus prototype, Berne virus (BEV), has now revealed the results of two independent nonhomologous RNA recombinations during torovirus evolution. Berne virus open reading frame (ORF) 4 encodes a protein with significant sequence similarity (30-35% identical residues) to a part of the hemagglutinin esterase proteins of coronaviruses and influenza virus C. The sequence of the C-terminal part of the predicted BEV polymerase ORF1a product contains 31-36% identical amino acids when compared with the sequence of a nonstructural 30/32K coronavirus protein. The cluster of coronaviruses which contains this nonstructural gene expresses it not as a part of their polymerase, but by synthesizing an additional subgenomic mRNA.

Tomato Chlorotic Spot Virus (TCSV) Putatively Incorporated a Genomic Segment of Groundnut Ringspot Virus (GRSV) Upon a Reassortment Event.

Project description:Tomato chlorotic spot virus (TCSV) and groundnut ringspot virus (GRSV) share several genetic and biological traits. Both of them belong to the genus Tospovirus (family Peribunyaviridae), which is composed by viruses with tripartite RNA genome that infect plants and are transmitted by thrips (order Thysanoptera). Previous studies have suggested several reassortment events between these two viruses, and some speculated that they may share one of their genomic segments. To better understand the intimate evolutionary history of these two viruses, we sequenced the genomes of the first TCSV and GRSV isolates ever reported. Our analyses show that TCSV and GRSV isolates indeed share one of their genomic segments, suggesting that one of those viruses may have emerged upon a reassortment event. Based on a series of phylogenetic and nucleotide diversity analyses, we conclude that the parental genotype of the M segment of TCSV was either eliminated due to a reassortment with GRSV or it still remains to be identified.

A Novel Distinct Genetic Variant of Tomato Torrado Virus with Substantially Shorter RNA1-Specific 3'Untranslated Region (3'UTR).

Project description:Tomato torrado virus (ToTV) induces severe systemic necrosis in Solanum lycopersicum. This work aimed at describing the genetic variability of necrosis-inducing ToTV-Wal'17 collected in 2017, derived from the ToTV-Wal'03 after long-term passages in plants. Sequence analyses of the ToTV-Wal'17 indicated twenty-eight single nucleotide substitutions in coding sequence of both RNAs, twelve of which resulted in amino acid changes in viral polyproteins. Moreover the sequencing data revealed that the 3'UTR of ToTV-Wal'17 RNA1 was 394 nts shorter in comparison to Wal'03. The performed sequence analyses revealed that 3'UTR of RNA1 of ToTV-Wal'17 is the most divergent across all previously described European isolates.

Phylogenetic and recombination analysis of tomato spotted wilt virus.

Project description:Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) severely damages and reduces the yield of many economically important plants worldwide. In this study, we determined the whole-genome sequences of 10 TSWV isolates recently identified from various regions and hosts in Korea. Phylogenetic analysis of these 10 isolates as well as the three previously sequenced isolates indicated that the 13 Korean TSWV isolates could be divided into two groups reflecting either two different origins or divergences of Korean TSWV isolates. In addition, the complete nucleotide sequences for the 13 Korean TSWV isolates along with previously sequenced TSWV RNA segments from Korea and other countries were subjected to phylogenetic and recombination analysis. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that both the RNA L and RNA M segments of most Korean isolates might have originated in Western Europe and North America but that the RNA S segments for all Korean isolates might have originated in China and Japan. Recombination analysis identified a total of 12 recombination events among all isolates and segments and five recombination events among the 13 Korea isolates; among the five recombinants from Korea, three contained the whole RNA L segment, suggesting reassortment rather than recombination. Our analyses provide evidence that both recombination and reassortment have contributed to the molecular diversity of TSWV.
