Expression of Prunus Necrotic Ringspot Virus Coat Protein in E. coli
author
Abstract:
Background and Amis: Serological assay is considered as one of the best choices for conducting large number of infection tests. Recombinant DNA technology has been used for expression of virus coat protein (CP) gene in prokaryotic bacterial cells such as Escherichia coli and the recombinant CP (rCP) is used as immunogen in antibody production. Heterologous CP protein expression and purification of the full length Prunus necrotic ringspot virus-PNRSV, Ilarvirus genus, from an Iranian isolate as an antigen was the aim of the study. Materials and Methods: A predominant Iranian PNRSV isolate (PK5) was selected and its CP gene was amplified using specific primers and the nucleotide sequence has been determined. The amplicon was cloned into pET28a(+) expression vector. The amplified CP gene and linearized pET-28a(+) were purified from gel, ligated and transformed into BL21 strain of E. coli. Expression of rCP in transformed BL21 competent cells was tested using SDS-PAGE and Western Blot assays. Results: RT-PCR on total RNA extracted from the infected leaves resulted in a DNA fragment of approximately 688 bp corresponding to full PNRSV/CP. BLAST analysis of the obtained nucleotide sequence for PNRSV/CP revealed 97% identity to JW isolate (accession no. DQ983491). The size of pET-PNRSV/CP was about 6000 bp. The E. coli BL21 cells harboring recombinant pET-PNRSV/CP successfully expressed the recombinant CP after IPTG induction. Conclusions: In this study, the recombinant CP gene of a predominant Iranian PNRSV isolates expressed in E. coli. The recombinant CP can be used for producing high quality antibodies against PNRSV.

Adaptive covariation between the coat and movement proteins of prunus necrotic ringspot virus.
The relative functional and/or structural importance of different amino acid sites in a protein can be assessed by evaluating the selective constraints to which they have been subjected during the course of evolution. Here we explore such constraints at the linear and three-dimensional levels for the movement protein (MP) and coat protein (CP) encoded by RNA 3 of prunus necrotic ringspot ilarvi...

The movement protein (MP) of Prunus necrotic ringspot virus (PNRSV) is required for viral transport. Previous analysis with MPs of other members of the family Bromoviridae has shown that the C-terminal part of these MPs plays a critical role in the interaction with the cognate coat protein (CP) and in cell-to-cell transport. Bimolecular fluorescence complementation and overlay analysis confirm ...

Prunus necrotic ringspot virus (PNRSV) causes yield loss in most cultivated stone fruits, including sweet cherry. Using a small RNA deep-sequencing approach combined with end-genome sequence cloning, we identified the complete genomes of all three PNRSV strands from PNRSV-infected sweet cherry trees and compared them with those of two previously reported isolates.

Interactions between viral proteins are critical for virus viability. Bimolecular fluorescent complementation (BiFC) technique determines protein interactions in real-time under almost normal physiological conditions. The coat protein (CP) of Prunus necrotic ringspot virus is required for multiple functions in its replication cycle. In this study, the region involved in CP dimerization has been...

Heterologous Expression of Potato Virus Y Coat Protein, Isolate Pot187
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...
