Running Head: Regulator of viral systemic transport and vascular formation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Plant viruses utilize the vascular system for systemic movement. The plant vascular network also transports water, photosynthates, and signaling molecules and is essential for plant growth. However, the molecular mechanisms governing vascular development and patterning are still largely unknown. From a viral transport suppressor screening using virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS), we identified a 26S proteasome subunit, RPN9, which is required for broad-spectrum viral systemic transport. Silencing of RPN9 in N. benthamiana inhibits systemic spread of two taxonomically distinct viruses, tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and turnip mosaic virus (TuMV). The 26S proteasome is a highly conserved eukaryotic protease complex controlling many fundamental biochemical processes, but the functions of many 26S proteasome regulatory subunits, especially in plants, are still poorly understood. We demonstrate that the inhibition of viral systemic transport after RPN9 silencing is largely due to alterations in the vascular tissue. RPN9silenced plants display extra leaf vein formation with increased xylem and decreased phloem. We further illustrate that RPN9 functions at least in part through regulation of auxin transport and Brassinosteroid (BR) signaling, two processes that are crucial for vascular formation. We propose that RPN9 regulates vascular formation by targeting a subset of regulatory proteins for degradation. The BR signaling protein BZR1 is one of the targets.

Systemic movement of a tobamovirus requires host cell pectin methylesterase.
Systemic movement of plant viruses through the host vasculature, one of the central events of the infection process, is essential for maximal viral accumulation and development of disease symptoms. The host plant proteins involved in this transport, however, remain unknown. Here, we examined whether or not pectin methylesterase (PME), one of the few cellular proteins known to be involved in loc...

vasculature was once thought to function as a mere conduit for nutrients and hormones. However, recent evidence indicates that this transport system can participate in the dissemination of various signal molecules throughout the plant. Interestingly, these signals include not only traditional signaling factors, such as proteins and growth-regulating small molecules, but also RNA. Once RNA was t...
