Nucleotide Sequence of the Capsid Protein Gene of Plum Pox Potyvirus
نویسنده
چکیده
The sequence of 1232 nucleotides from the 3' region of the plum pox virus (PPV) RNA has been determined. This sequence contains one long open reading frame (ORF). The sequence of the 17 amino-terminal amino acids of the PPV capsid protein was determined chemically. An identical amino acid sequence was found in the translation product of the large ORF, starting at amino acid 330, which is alanine. Our data suggest that the PPV capsid protein, like that of other potyviruses, is a product of the maturation of a large polyprotein. The putative cleavage site is at a glutamine-alanine dipeptide. The capsid protein gene consists of 990 nucleotides and corresponds to a region coding for 330 amino acids which have a combined calculated Mr of 36593. The adjacent 3' untranslated region is of 215 nucleotides and ends in a polyadenylate tract. PPV capsid protein molecules are thus larger than those of the other potyviruses that have been characterized. The amino acid sequence of PPV coat protein is 47 to 60~ homologous to other potyvirus coat proteins and most of the variations are in the amino-terminal region.

The nucleotide sequence of the 3'-terminal 4773 nucleotides of the RNA of a widely divergent, aphid-transmissible strain of plum pox potyvirus isolated from Egypt (PPV-El Amar) was determined. The sequenced region covers the carboxy terminus of the cylindrical inclusion (CI) gene, and the putative 6K protein, the NIa protease, the NIb RNA polymerase and the coat protein genes, linked together a...

The capsid protein of a plant single-stranded RNA virus is modified by O-linked N-acetylglucosamine.
Plum pox virus (PPV) is a member of the Potyvirus genus of plant viruses. Labeling with UDP-[3H]galactose and galactosyltransferase indicated that the capsid protein (CP) of PPV is a glycoprotein with N-acetylglucosamine terminal residues. Mass spectrometry analysis of different PPV isolates and mutants revealed O-linked N-acetylglucosamination, a modification barely studied in plant proteins, ...
متن کاملThe motif V of plum pox potyvirus CI RNA helicase is involved in NTP hydrolysis and is essential for virus RNA replication.
The plum pox potyvirus (PPV) protein CI is an RNA helicase whose function in the viral life cycle is still unknown. The CI protein contains seven conserved sequence motifs typical of RNA helicases of the superfamily SF2. We have introduced several individual point mutations into the region coding for motif V of the PPV CI protein and expressed these proteins in Escherichia coli as maltose bindi...

DNA-binding protein phosphatases (DBPs) have been identified as a novel class of plant-specific regulatory factors playing a role in plant-virus interactions. NtDBP1 from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) was shown to participate in transcriptional regulation of gene expression in response to virus infection in compatible interactions, and AtDBP1, its closest relative in the model plant Arabidopsis (...
