چکیده
The motional state of RNA in tomato bushy stunt rirlls, both in thr crystalline st,attx and in solution, has been invrstigat,ed IuGng 31P nuclear magnetic resonance methods. It, has been found that t’hr RNA is highly immobile in tho nativ Crus. and it is suggested that t,he lack of a high-resolution X-ray diffraction patt,crn for either the RNB or the N-terminal repions of the pro&n coat molcrnlcs (Hwrison et al., 1978) is due to static disorder in the crystals. Dynamic disortlw Ira,s bwn drt.ected in the vinx after treatment with EDT& which canses a strnctlwal rhnnge and an incrrase in particle size.

Tomato 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...
متن کاملEnhanced competitiveness of tomato bushy stunt virus defective interfering RNAs by segment duplication or nucleotide insertion.
We have analyzed atypical tomato bushy stunt virus defective interfering (DI) RNA species which accumulated during a passage series in protoplasts. We present a rationale for the order of appearance of these molecules and show, using competition assays, that either segment duplication or single nucleotide insertion can enhance DI RNA competitiveness. Possible mechanisms for the introduction of ...
متن کاملIn vitro assembly of the Tomato bushy stunt virus replicase requires the host Heat shock protein 70.
To gain insights into the functions of a viral RNA replicase, we have assembled in vitro and entirely from nonplant sources, a fully functional replicase complex of Tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV). The formation of the TBSV replicase required two purified recombinant TBSV replication proteins, which were obtained from E. coli, the viral RNA replicon, rATP, rGTP, and a yeast cell-free extract. T...
متن کاملPartial purification and characterization of Cucumber necrosis virus and Tomato bushy stunt virus RNA-dependent RNA polymerases: similarities and differences in template usage between tombusvirus and carmovirus RNA-dependent RNA polymerases.
Tombusviruses are small, plus-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses of plants. RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RdRp) of two tombusviruses, Tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV) and Cucumber necrosis virus (CNV), have been partially purified from infected Nicotiana benthamiana plants. The obtained RdRp complexes are capable of de novo initiation of complementary RNA synthesis using either plus- or minus-s...
متن کاملAuthentic replication and recombination of Tomato bushy stunt virus RNA in a cell-free extract from yeast.
To study the replication of Tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV), a small tombusvirus of plants, we have developed a cell-free system based on a Saccharomyces cerevisiae extract. The cell-free system was capable of performing a complete replication cycle on added plus-stranded TBSV replicon RNA (repRNA) that led to the production of approximately 30-fold-more plus-stranded progeny RNAs than the minu...
