Molecular evolution and phylogeography of potato virus Y based on the CP gene.

چکیده
Potato virus Y (PVY) is an important plant pathogen with a wide host range that includes, among others, potato, tobacco, tomato and pepper. The coat protein (CP) of PVY has been commonly used in phylogenetic studies for strain classification. In this study, we used a pool of 292 CP sequences from isolates collected worldwide. After detecting and removing recombinant sequences, we applied Bayesian techniques to study the influence of geography and host species in CP population structure and dynamics. Finally, we performed selection and covariation analyses to identify specific amino acids involved in adaptation. Our results show that PVY CP diversification is significantly accounted for by both geographical and host-driven adaptations. Amino acid positions detected as positively selected concentrate in the N-terminal region of the protein. Some of these selected positions may discriminate among strains, and to a much lesser extent, between potato and non-potato isolates.

Background: The advent of recombinant DNA technology has facilitated heterologous expression of proteins from various sources in different host systems including Escherichia coli. If a plant virus coat protein is expressed in the bacterium it can be used as the antigen for antibody preparation. Such a recombinant antigen preparation can be particularly useful where equipment such as ultracentri...
متن کاملPhylogeography and Molecular Evolution of Potato virus Y
Potato virus Y (PVY) is an important plant pathogen, whose host range includes economically important crops such as potato, tobacco, tomato, and pepper. PVY presents three main strains (PVY(O), PVY(N) and PVY(C)) and several recombinant forms. PVY has a worldwide distribution, yet the mechanisms that promote and maintain its population structure and genetic diversity are still unclear. In this ...

One of the most efficient mechanisms by which plants protect themselves from invading virusesis the specific RNA-dependent silencing pathway termed post-transcriptional gene silencing(PTGS). In this mechanism, resistance to a virus is engineered through the expression of asegment of the virus genomein transgenic plants. Potato VirusY (PVY) is one of the mostdamaging viruses of potato, infecting...

Transient expression of proteins in plants has become a choice to facilitate recombinant protein production with its fast and easy application. On the other hand, host defensive mechanisms have been reported to reduce the efficiency of transient expression in plants. Hence, this study was designed to evaluate the effect of cap analog and Potato virus A helper component proteinase (PVA HC-Pro) o...
