Development of novel detection system for sweet potato leaf curl virus using recombinant scFv.

ABSTRACT: Sweet potato leaf curl virus (SPLCV) causes yield losses in sweet potato cultivation. Diagnostic techniques such as serological detection have been developed because these plant viruses are difficult to treat. Serological assays have been used extensively with recombinant antibodies such as whole immunoglobulin or single-chain variable fragments (scFv). An scFv consists of variable heavy (VH) and variable light (VL) chains joined with a short, flexible peptide linker. An scFv can serve as a diagnostic application using various combinations of variable chains. Two SPLCV-specific scFv clones, F7 and G7, were screened by bio-panning process with a yeast cell which expressed coat protein (CP) of SPLCV. The scFv genes were subcloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The binding affinity and characteristics of the expressed proteins were confirmed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using SPLCV-infected plant leaves. Virus-specific scFv selection by a combination of yeast-surface display and scFv-phage display can be applied to detection of any virus.

Project description:Diseases caused by begomoviruses are becoming the major limiting factors for the production of watermelon in India. Survey for the incidence of plants showing symptoms typical to begomovirus infection was conducted in watermelon fields. The study revealed that 40% of the watermelon plants were showing the yellowing and downward curling symptoms. Twenty infected samples were collected from the different farmer's fields to know the association of begomoviruses. The PCR amplification using begomovirus-specific primers resulted in an expected 1.2 kb PCR product indicating the begomovirus association with the watermelon samples. The sequence comparison results of 1.2 kb representing partial genome revealed that all sequences obtained from watermelon samples have a nucleotide (nt) identity of more than 98% among them and are maximum homology with Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus (ToLCNDV). One watermelon sample (WM1) was selected for complete genome amplification using RCA method (rolling-circle amplification). Amplification of DNA B and no amplification of betasatellites and alphasatellite indicated this virus as bipartite. Sequence Demarcation Tool (SDT) analysis of the DNA A component of the WM1 isolate showed the maximum nt identity of 94.6-97.9% and 85.2-95.8% with ToLCNDV infecting cucurbits. The recombinant analysis showed that the genome was likely to be derived from the recombination of already reported begomoviruses (ToLCNDV, ToLCPalV, and MYMIV) infecting diverse crops. The whitefly cryptic species predominant in the begomovirus-infected watermelon fields were identified as Asia-II-5 group. The LAMP assay developed based on coat protein gene sequence was able to detect the ToLCNDV in the infected samples. Visual detection of the LAMP-amplified products was observed with the hydroxy naphthol blue. LAMP assay was also validated with ToLCNDV infected sponge gourd, spine gourd, ivy gourd, ridge gourd, and cucumber. This is the first report of ToLCNDV association with leaf curl and yellowing disease of watermelon from India and World based on complete genome sequencing.
