Evolutionary features of 8K (KDa) silencing suppressor protein of Potato mop-top virus
Authors
Abstract:
The cysteine-rich 8K protein of Potato mop-top virus (PMTV) suppresses host RNA silencing. In this study, evolutionary analysisof 8K sequences of PMTV isolates was studied on the basis of nucleotide and amino acid sequences. Twenty-one positively selected sites were identified in 8K codingregions. Recombination events were found in the 8K of PMTV isolates with a rate of 1.8. Totally 30 haplotypes were detected with haplotype diversity ranging from 0.8 to 1.0 and nucleotide diversity from 7.58 to 13.62. The positions 33 and 30 indicated the highly positive and negative selection (with the highest and the lowest dN-dS values), respectively. Tajima’s D test suggested that 8K is evolving with a strong positive selection for worldwide isolates. High frequency of segregating sites was identified along 204 positions of 8K. Moreover, in this study, we used Shannon entropy-based approach to evaluate the variability of each site of nucleotide and corresponding amino acid. Based on Shannon entropy method, 139 and 97 nucleotide sites had the highest entropy value, while 47 and 33 amino acid sites showed the most diversity along 8K sequences. Our findings suggest that 8K as an RNA silencing suppressor evolves rapidly. Taken together, its variability might play a big threat to infect other plants or overcome resistant cultivars.

Detection of potato mop-top virus capsid readthrough protein in virus particles.
Potato mop-top furovirus (PMTV) RNA 3 encodes the 20 kDa coat protein and a larger readthrough protein of 67 kDa. The readthrough protein is expressed by suppression of the amber stop codon which terminates the coat protein gene. A 21 kDa C-terminal fragment of the readthrough protein was doned, fused to glutathione S-transferase and expressed in E. coli. An antiserum prepared against purified ...
full textThe Role of Microtubule Association in Plasmodesmal Targeting of Potato mop-top virus Movement Protein TGBp1
Cell-to-cell movement of Potato mop-top virus (PMTV) is mediated by three virus-encoded 'triple gene block' (TGB) proteins termed TGBp1, TGBp2 and TGBp3. TGBp1 binds virus RNAs to form viral ribonucleoprotein complexes (vRNPs), the transport form of viral genome. TGBp2 and TGBp3 are necessary for intracellular delivery of TGBp1-containing vRNPs to plasmodesmata. To analyze subcellular localizat...

The gene encoding the triple gene block protein 1 (TGBp1) of Potato mop-top virus (PMTV) was cloned into expression vector pQE32 tagging the protein with 6xHis on the N-terminus. When the gene was enshortened on its 3¢-end by two different restriction digestions, efficient and high yield bacterial expression was achieved in both cases, as shown by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel elec...

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...

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...
