Identification of the RNA silencing suppressor activity of sugarcane streak mosaic virus P1 gene.

ABSTRACT: Sugarcane streak mosaic virus (SCSMV) belonging to Poacevirus, is a causative virus of mosaic disease in sugarcane in many Asian countries with substantial genomic variation. Although the virus infects the crop with Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) a Potyvirus, it predominates over SCMV in spread as well as titre. We have taken up detailed studies to identify the functional activity of viral suppressors of SCSMV genome. Transient expression assay was performed with SCSMV-P1 and HC-Pro genes in the model plant Nicotiana tabacum to establish suppressor role of these genes. The plasmid constructs of both the genes were co-infiltrated with the reporter green fluorescent protein (GFP) and the suppressor activity was measured as enhancement in the GFP fluorescence. Further, the phenotypic expressions were validated by respective gene expression through semi quantitative and qRT-PCR. In the P1 co-infiltrated GFP leaves, suppression in the PTGS mechanism took place that allowed a long term expression of GFP. However, GFP co-infiltrated with HC-Pro did not sustain the GFP expression level for a prolonged period and the expression level was close to GFP control. The study concluded that unlike in other Potyviridae genera, P1 gene of SCSMV is playing the role of RNA silencing suppressor. This study helps in unveiling a new and promising way to understand the regulatory pathway in the host at the time of viral infection. Targeting the P1 gene of SCSMV through RNA silencing approach will be a viable strategy to develop mosaic resistant transgenic sugarcane varieties as they are directly involved in counter defence against the host.

Wheat streak mosaic virus P1 Binds to dsRNAs without Size and Sequence Specificity and a GW Motif Is Crucial for Suppression of RNA Silencing.

Project description:Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV; genus Tritimovirus; family Potyviridae) is an economically important virus infecting wheat in the Great Plains region of the USA. Previously, we reported that the P1 protein of WSMV acts as a viral suppressor of RNA silencing. In this study, we delineated the minimal region of WSMV P1 and examined its mechanisms in suppression of RNA silencing. We found that the 25 N-terminal amino acids are dispensable, while deletion of a single amino acid at the C-terminal region completely abolished the RNA silencing suppression activity of P1. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays with in vitro expressed P1 revealed that the P1 protein formed complexes with green fluorescent protein-derived 180-nt dsRNA and 21 and 24-nt ds-siRNAs, and WSMV coat protein-specific 600-nt dsRNA. These data suggest that the P1 protein of WSMV binds to dsRNAs in a size- and sequence-independent manner. Additionally, in vitro dicing assay with human Dicer revealed that the P1 protein efficiently protects dsRNAs from processing by Dicer into siRNAs, by forming complexes with dsRNA. Sequence comparison of P1-like proteins from select potyvirid species revealed that WSMV P1 harbors a glycine-tryptophan (GW) motif at the C-terminal region. Disruption of GW motif in WSMV P1 through W303A mutation resulted in loss of silencing suppression function and pathogenicity enhancement, and abolished WSMV viability. These data suggest that the mechanisms of suppression of RNA silencing of P1 proteins of potyvirid species appear to be broadly conserved in the family Potyviridae.

Relationship between Sugarcane <i>eIF4E</i> Gene and Resistance against <i>Sugarcane Streak Mosaic Virus</i>.

Project description:Sugarcane mosaic disease, mainly caused by Sugarcane streak mosaic virus (SCSMV), has serious adverse effects on the yield and quality of sugarcane. Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) is a natural resistance gene in plants. The eIF4E-mediated natural recessive resistance results from non-synonymous mutations of the eIF4E protein. In this study, two sugarcane varieties, CP94-1100 and ROC22, were selected for analysis of their differences in resistance to SCSMV. Four-base missense mutations in the ORF region of eIF4E resulted in different conserved domains. Therefore, the differences in resistance to SCSMV are due to the inherent differences in eIF4E of the sugarcane varieties. The coding regions of eIF4E included 28 SNP loci and no InDel loci, which were affected by negative selection and were relatively conserved. A total of 11 haploids encoded 11 protein sequences. Prediction of the protein spatial structure revealed three non-synonymous mutation sites for amino acids located in the cap pocket of eIF4E; one of these sites existed only in a resistant material (Yuetang 55), whereas the other site existed only in a susceptible material (ROC22), suggesting that these two sites might be related to the resistance to SCSMV. The results provide a strong basis for further analysis of the functional role of eIF4E in regulating mosaic resistance in sugarcane.

Sugarcane Mosaic Virus-Based Gene Silencing in Nicotiana benthamiana.

Project description:Background: Potyvirus-based virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is used for knocking down the expression of a target gene in numerous plant species. Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) is a monopartite, positive single strand RNA virus. Objectives: pBINTRA6 vector was modifi ed by inserting a gene segment of SCMV in place of Tobacco rattle virus (TRV) genome part 1 (TRV1 or RNA1) and the two nonstructural proteins of TRV2(RNA2). Materials and Methods: SCMV construct was inoculated into 3-4 weeks Nicotiana benthamiana plant leaves either by using a needleless syringe or applying pricking with a toothpick. Results: The construct (SCMV-RNA2) successfully induced post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) of the target genes GFP and ChlI through agroinoculation proving that SCMV is a substitute of the RNA1, which plays a pivotal role in the systemic gene silencing. 2-3-weeks of post inoculation, target genes' silencing was observed in the newly developed noninoculated leaves. Conclusions: The newly developed construct expresses the knocked down of the endogenous as well as exogenous genes and only four weeks are required for the transient expression of the gene silencing based on SCMV-VIGS system.

Genetic diversity and biological characterization of sugarcane streak mosaic virus isolates from Iran.

Project description:Sugarcane streak mosaic virus (SCSMV; genus Poacevirus, family Potyviridae) is a major causal agent of sugarcane mosaic disease in Asia. A survey of SCSMV was conducted in cultivated fields in Khuzestan province, southwestern Iran. Sixty-five sugarcane leaf samples showing mosaic symptoms were collected and investigated by RT-PCR. Almost one-fourth of the samples were found to be infected by SCSMV. To verify molecular variability, 12 SCSMV isolates were sequenced and analyzed by comparing partial NIb-CP gene sequences. The nucleotide identity among Iranian isolates was 83.1-99.8%, indicating high nucleotide variability, while amino acid identity was 95.2-100%, which suggesting selection for amino acid conservation. They shared nucleotide identities of 76.2-99.1% with those of other SCSMV isolates available in GenBank, the highest with isolates from Pakistan (PAK), India (IND671) and China (M117, KT257289). Further analysis was conducted based on complete CI coding region to gain more insight into the phylogenetic relationships of Iranian SCSMV compared to those from other Asian countries. Iranian isolates shared identities of 79.8-89.0% (nucleotide) and 94.8-98.6% (amino acid) with those from other geographical regions in the CI gene. The highest nucleotide identity of Iranian isolates was with isolates PAK (Pakistan), M121 (JQ975096, China) and IND671 (India), respectively. The phylogenetic trees (based on CI and NIb-CP) revealed the segregation of SCSMV isolates into two major divergent evolutionary lineages that reflect geographical origin of the isolates (with minor exception). Phylogenetic analyses grouped Iranian SCSMV isolates together with isolates from Pakistan, India and just one Chinese isolate in group II. Biological results showed that Iranian SCSMV isolates infect sugarcane, sorghum, maize and some wild grasses, causing mosaic symptoms on the leaves.

A Spontaneous Complementary Mutation Restores the RNA Silencing Suppression Activity of HC-Pro and the Virulence of Sugarcane Mosaic Virus.

Project description:Cross-protection is a promising measure to control plant viral diseases. Reverse genetics had been recently adopted to generate attenuated mutants that have potential in cross-protection. But studies on the variability of the progeny viruses of the attenuated mutants are scarce. Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV; genus Potyvirus, family Potyviridae) is the prevalent virus inducing maize dwarf mosaic disease in China. Here, we showed that the substitution of arginine with isoleucine in the FRNK motif at position 184 of helper component-proteinase (HC-Pro) abolished its RNA silencing suppression (RSS) activity, drastically reduced the virulence and accumulation level of SCMV, and impaired the synergism between SCMV and maize chlorotic mottle virus. The attenuated mutant could protect maize plants from a severe infection of SCMV. However, a spontaneous mutation of glycine at position 440 to arginine in HC-Pro rescued the virulence and synergism with maize chlorotic mottle virus of SCMV and the RSS activity of HC-Pro. Similar results were obtained with tobacco vein banding mosaic virus and watermelon mosaic virus. These results provide novel evidence for the complementary mutation of potyviruses in maintaining the HC-Pro RSS activity and potyviral virulence and remind us of evaluating the potential risk of attenuated mutants thoroughly before applying for the control of plant viral diseases via cross-protection.

Transgenic sugarcane resistant to Sorghum mosaic virus based on coat protein gene silencing by RNA interference.

Project description:As one of the critical diseases of sugarcane, sugarcane mosaic disease can lead to serious decline in stalk yield and sucrose content. It is mainly caused by Potyvirus sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) and/or Sorghum mosaic virus (SrMV), with additional differences in viral strains. RNA interference (RNAi) is a novel strategy for producing viral resistant plants. In this study, based on multiple sequence alignment conducted on genomic sequences of different strains and isolates of SrMV, the conserved region of coat protein (CP) genes was selected as the target gene and the interference sequence with size of 423?bp in length was obtained through PCR amplification. The RNAi vector pGII00-HACP with an expression cassette containing both hairpin interference sequence and cp4-epsps herbicide-tolerant gene was transferred to sugarcane cultivar ROC22 via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. After herbicide screening, PCR molecular identification, and artificial inoculation challenge, anti-SrMV positive transgenic lines were successfully obtained. SrMV resistance rate of the transgenic lines with the interference sequence was 87.5% based on SrMV challenge by artificial inoculation. The genetically modified SrMV-resistant lines of cultivar ROC22 provide resistant germplasm for breeding lines and can also serve as resistant lines having the same genetic background for study of resistance mechanisms.

Cucumber mosaic virus and its 2b RNA silencing suppressor modify plant-aphid interactions in tobacco.

Project description:The cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) 2b protein not only inhibits anti-viral RNA silencing but also quenches transcriptional responses of plant genes to jasmonic acid, a key signalling molecule in defence against insects. This suggested that it might affect interactions between infected plants and aphids, insects that transmit CMV. We found that infection of tobacco with a 2b gene deletion mutant (CMVΔ2b) induced strong resistance to aphids (Myzus persicae) while CMV infection fostered aphid survival. Using electrical penetration graph methodology we found that higher proportions of aphids showed sustained phloem ingestion on CMV-infected plants than on CMVΔ2b-infected or mock-inoculated plants although this did not increase the rate of growth of individual aphids. This indicates that while CMV infection or certain viral gene products might elicit aphid resistance, the 2b protein normally counteracts this during a wild-type CMV infection. Our findings suggest that the 2b protein could indirectly affect aphid-mediated virus transmission.

A One-Step Real-Time RT-PCR Assay for the Detection and Quantitation of Sugarcane Streak Mosaic Virus.

Project description:Sugarcane mosaic disease is caused by the Sugarcane streak mosaic virus (SCSMV; genus Poacevirus, family Potyviridae) which is common in some Asian countries. Here, we established a protocol of a one-step real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (real-time qRT-PCR) using the TaqMan probe for the detection of SCSMV in sugarcane. Primers and probes were designed within the conserved region of the SCSMV coat protein (CP) gene sequences. Standard single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) generated by PCR-based gene transcripts of recombinant pGEM-CP plasmid in vitro and total RNA extracted from SCSMV-infected sugarcane were used as templates of qRT-PCR. We further performed a sensitivity assay to show that the detection limit of the assay was 100 copies of ssRNA and 2?pg of total RNA with good reproducibility. The values obtained were approximately 100-fold more sensitive than those of the conventional RT-PCR. A higher incidence (68.6%) of SCSMV infection was detected by qRT-PCR than that (48.6%) with conventional RT-PCR in samples showing mosaic symptoms. SCSMV-free samples were verified by infection with Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) or Sorghum mosaic virus (SrMV) or a combination of both. The developed qRT-PCR assay may become an alternative molecular tool for an economical, rapid, and efficient detection and quantification of SCSMV.

Identification of Sugarcane Host Factors Interacting with the 6K2 Protein of the Sugarcane Mosaic Virus.

Project description:The 6K2 protein of potyviruses plays a key role in the viral infection in plants. In the present study, the coding sequence of 6K2 was cloned from Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) strain FZ1 into pBT3-STE to generate the plasmid pBT3-STE-6K2, which was used as bait to screen a cDNA library prepared from sugarcane plants infected with SCMV based on the DUALmembrane system. One hundred and fifty-seven positive colonies were screened and sequenced, and the corresponding full-length genes were cloned from sugarcane cultivar ROC22. Then, 24 genes with annotations were obtained, and the deduced proteins were classified into three groups, in which eight proteins were involved in the stress response, 12 proteins were involved in transport, and four proteins were involved in photosynthesis based on their biological functions. Of the 24 proteins, 20 proteins were verified to interact with SCMV-6K2 by yeast two-hybrid assays. The possible roles of these proteins in SCMV infection on sugarcane are analyzed and discussed. This is the first report on the interaction of SCMV-6K2 with host factors from sugarcane, and will improve knowledge on the mechanism of SCMV infection in sugarcane.
