Structure of Tomato Bushy Stunt Virus V.t Coat Protein Sequence Determination and its Structural Implications
نویسندگان
چکیده
CVe report the chemically determined sequence of most of the polypeptide chain of the coat protein of tomato bushy stunt virus. Peptide locations have been determined by comparison with the high-resolution electron density map from X-ray crystallographic analysis as well as by conventional chemical overlaps. Three small gaps remain in the 387-residue sequence. Positively charged sidechains are concentrated in the N-terminal part of the polypeptide (the R domain) as well as on inward-facing surfaces of the S domain. There is homology of S-domain sequences with structurally corresponding residues in southern bean mosaic virus.

متن کاملEfficient infection of Nicotiana benthamiana by Tomato bushy stunt virus is facilitated by the coat protein and maintained by p19 through suppression of gene silencing.
Tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV) is one of few RNA plant viruses capable of moving systemically in some hosts in the absence of coat protein (CP). TBSV also encodes another protein (p19) that is not required for systemic movement but functions as a symptom determinant in Nicotiana benthamiana. Here, the role of both CP and p19 in the systemic spread has been reevaluated by utilizing transgenic N...
متن کاملStructural studies of spherical viruses.
Tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV) is probably the most suitable of the simple viruses for atomic resolution structure analysis. It is built from 180 copies of a coat protein subunit (Mw 41,000) and a single piece of RNA (MW 1.5 X 106) (1-3). There may also be a single copy of a large internal protein (MW 87,000) (a). The coat subunits form a T=3 icosahedral surface lattice. The symmetry of this l...
متن کاملTomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV) infecting Lycopersicon esculentum.
Tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV) was detected in tomato crop (Lycopersicon esculentum) in Egypt with characteristic mosaic leaf deformation, stunting, and bushy growth symptoms. TBSV infection was confirmed serologically by ELISA and calculated incidence was 25.5%. Basic physicochemical properties of a purified TBSV Egh isolate were identical to known properties of tombusviruses of isometric 30-...
متن کاملTomato bushy stunt virus co-opts the RNA-binding function of a host metabolic enzyme for viral genomic RNA synthesis.
Tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV), a plus-stranded [(+)] RNA plant virus, incorporates the host metabolic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) into the viral replicase complex. Here, we show that, during TBSV replication in yeast, the yeast GAPDH Tdh2p moves from the cytosol to the peroxisomal membrane surface, the site of viral RNA synthesis. In yeast cells lacking Tdh2p, decr...
