F-box-like domain in the polerovirus protein P0 is required for silencing suppressor function.
Plants employ small RNA-mediated posttranscriptional gene silencing as a virus defense mechanism. In response, plant viruses encode proteins that can suppress RNA silencing, but the mode of action of most such proteins is poorly understood. Here, we show that the silencing suppressor protein P0 of two Arabidopsis-infecting poleroviruses interacts by means of a conserved minimal F-box motif with...
متن کاملThe Polerovirus F Box Protein P0 Targets ARGONAUTE1 to Suppress RNA Silencing
Plants employ post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) as an antiviral defense response. In this mechanism, viral-derived small RNAs are incorporated into the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) to guide degradation of the corresponding viral RNAs. ARGONAUTE1 (AGO1) is a key component of RISC: it carries the RNA slicer activity. As a counter-defense, viruses have evolved various proteins tha...
متن کاملThe Polerovirus Silencing Suppressor P0 Targets ARGONAUTE Proteins for Degradation
Plant and animal viruses encode suppressor proteins of an adaptive immunity mechanism in which viral double-stranded RNA is processed into 21-25 nt short interfering (si)RNAs. The siRNAs guide ARGONAUTE (AGO) proteins so that they target viral RNA. Most viral suppressors bind long dsRNA or siRNAs and thereby prevent production of siRNA or binding of siRNA to AGO. The one exception is the 2b sup...
متن کاملAn argonaute-like protein is required for meiotic silencing.
We demonstrate the involvement of suppressor of meiotic silencing-2 (sms-2(+)), a Neurospora gene coding for an Argonaute-like protein, in meiotic silencing and normal sexual development.
متن کاملFission yeast F-box protein Pof3 is required for genome integrity and telomere function.
The Skp1-Cullin-1/Cdc53-F-box protein (SCF) ubiquitin ligase plays an important role in various biological processes. In this enzyme complex, a variety of F-box proteins act as receptors that recruit substrates. We have identified a fission yeast gene encoding a novel F-box protein Pof3, which contains, in addition to the F-box, a tetratricopeptide repeat motif in its N terminus and a leucine-r...
