Identification of a movement protein of the tenuivirus rice stripe virus

Rice stripe virus (RSV) is the type member of the genus Tenuivirus. RSV has four single-stranded RNAs and causes severe disease in rice fields in different parts of China. To date, no reports have described how RSV spreads within host plants or the viral and/or host factor(s) required for tenuivirus movement. We investigated functions of six RSV-encoded proteins using trans-complementation experiments and biolistic bombardment. We demonstrate that NSvc4, encoded by RSV RNA4, supports the intercellular trafficking of a movement-deficient Potato virus X in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves. We also determined that upon biolistic bombardment or agroinfiltration, NSvc4:enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) fusion proteins localize predominantly near or within the walls of onion and tobacco epidermal cells. In addition, the NSvc4:eGFP fusion protein can move from initially bombarded cells to neighboring cells in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves. Immunocytochemistry using tissue sections from RSV-infected rice leaves and an RSV NSvc4-specific antibody showed that the NSvc4 protein accumulated in walls of RSV-infected leaf cells. Gel retardation assays revealed that the NSvc4 protein interacts with single-stranded RNA in vitro, a common feature of many reported plant viral movement proteins (MPs). RSV NSvc4 failed to interact with the RSV nucleocapsid protein using yeast two-hybrid assays. Taken together, our data indicate that RSV NSvc4 is likely an MP of the virus. This is the first report describing a tenuivirus MP.     

Rice stripe virus activates the bZIP17/28 branch of the unfolded protein response signalling pathway to promote viral infection

The unfolded protein response (UPR) plays important roles in plant virus infection. Our previous study has proved that rice stripe virus (RSV) infection elicits host UPR. However, the mechanism on how the UPR is triggered upon RSV infection remains obscure. Here, we show that the bZIP17/28 branch of the UPR signalling pathway is activated upon RSV infection in Nicotiana benthamiana. We found that membrane-associated proteins NSvc2 and NSvc4 encoded by RSV are responsible for the activation of the bZIP17/28 branch. Ectopic expression of NSvc2 or NSvc4 in plant leaves induced the proteolytic processing of NbbZIP17/28 and up-regulated the expression of UPR-related genes. Silencing NbbZIP17/28 significantly inhibited RSV infection. We show that RSV can specifically elicit the UPR through the bZIP17/28 branch, thus promoting virus infection of N. benthamiana plants.

The unfolded protein response plays dual roles in rice stripe virus infection through fine-tuning the movement protein accumulation

The movement of plant viruses is a complex process that requires support by the virus-encoded movement protein and multiple host factors. The unfolded protein response (UPR) plays important roles in plant virus infection, while how UPR regulates viral infection remains to be elucidated. Here, we show that rice stripe virus (RSV) elicits the UPR in Nicotiana benthamiana. The RSV-induced UPR activates the host autophagy pathway by which the RSV-encoded movement protein, NSvc4, is targeted for autophagic degradation. As a counteract, we revealed that NSvc4 hijacks UPR-activated type-I J-domain proteins, NbMIP1s, to protect itself from autophagic degradation. Unexpectedly, we found NbMIP1 stabilizes NSvc4 in a non-canonical HSP70-independent manner. Silencing NbMIP1 family genes in N. benthamiana, delays RSV infection, while over-expressing NbMIP1.4b promotes viral cell-to-cell movement. Moreover, OsDjA5, the homologue of NbMIP1 family in rice, behaves in a similar manner toward facilitating RSV infection. This study exemplifies an arms race between RSV and the host plant, and reveals the dual roles of the UPR in RSV infection though fine-tuning the accumulation of viral movement protein.     

水稻草矮病毒NS6基因在大肠杆菌中的表达及植物表达载体的构建

Large amount of disease-specific protein(SP) accumulated in the rice plant cells infected by rice grassy stunt virus(RGSV). It was deduced that the protein was encoded by NS6 gene on genomic vRNA6 and thus referred to as NS6 protein.But its function is unknown. In an effort to prove the above deduction and to elucidate the function of NS6 protein of RGSV, we constructed a bacterial expression plasmid pGTNS6 producing a fusion protein of glutathione S-transferase (GST) and NS6 protein, and a plant expression vector pCBTNSv6 containing NS6 gene. A recombinant plasmid pTNSv 6 containing the coding region of NS6 gene and the non-coding region at its 5' terminus, cloned by RT-PCR from purified RNAs of Shaxian isolate of RGSV, was used as the start point. Western blot analysis showed that the fusion protein reacted strongly with antisera raised against RGSV-SP, which served as evidence of the deduction.EHA105 of Agrobacterium tumefasciens containing pCBTNSv6 has been obtained and the transformation of rice is underway.

Characterization of the major mRNAs transcribed from the genes for glycoprotein B and DNA-binding protein ICP8 of herpes simplex virus type 1.

The structural genes encoding the herpes simplex virus type 1 glycoprotein B and the major DNA-binding protein ICP8 have been mapped previously within the EcoRI-F restriction fragment (map coordinates 0.314 to 0.420) of the viral genome. In this study the mRNAs transcribed from these DNA sequences were identified by hybridization selection of 32P-labeled RNA and by Northern blot analysis of polyadenylated cytoplasmic RNA. A 3.4-kilobase RNA was the major mRNA homologous to the DNA sequences between coordinates 0.343 and 0.386 in which mutations in the glycoprotein B gene have been mapped. A 4.5-kilobase RNA was the major mRNA homologous to the viral DNA sequences between coordinates 0.361 and 0.417 in which mutations in the ICP8 gene have been mapped. Hybridization-selected mRNAs were translated in vitro to determine the primary translation products encoded in each region. The glycoprotein B- and ICP8-specific polypeptides were identified by immunoprecipitation with specific antisera. The translation products encoded by the glycoprotein B gene were 103,000 and 99,000 in molecular weight. The translation products encoded by the ICP8 gene were 125,000 and 122,000 in molecular weight.     

Two-step affinity purification of the hepatitis C virus ribonucleoprotein complex

Positive-strand RNA viruses replicate their RNA genome within a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex that is associated with cellular membranes. We used a two-step method of purification to isolate hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNP complexes from human hepatoma cell line Huh7, which stably expresses HCV subgenomic replicons. The procedure involved hybridization of replicon-expressing cellular lysates with oligonucleotides tagged with biotin and digoxigenin at their respective termini complementary to subgenomic replicon RNA followed by avidin-agarose enrichment of the mixture and subsequent immunoprecipitation of biotin-eluted material with anti-digoxigenin antibody. The immunoprecipitates were immunoblotted with antisera against HCV nonstructural (NS) proteins. The analysis revealed the association of all the HCV NS proteins (NS3, NS4a, NS4b, NS5a, and NS5b) that are encoded by the subgenomic replicon RNA. The HCV RNP complex migrated in a native polyacrylamide gel with an approximate molecular mass of 450 kD. The association of these viral proteins in the RNP complex reinforces the widely acknowledged notion that RNA viruses accomplish replication within a membranous RNP complex.     

Biochemical characterisation of Murray Valley encephalitis virus proteinase

Murray Valley encephalitis virus (MVEV) is a member of the flavivirus group, a large family of single stranded RNA viruses, which cause serious disease in all regions of the world. Its genome encodes a large polyprotein which is processed by both host proteinases and a virally encoded serine proteinase, non-structural protein 3 (NS3). NS3, an essential viral enzyme, requires another virally encoded protein cofactor, NS2B, for proteolytic activity. The cloning, expression and biochemical characterisation of a stable MVEV NS2B-NS3 fusion protein is described.     

The NS3 protein of rice hoja blanca virus complements the RNAi suppressor function of HIV‐1 Tat

The question of whether RNA interference (RNAi) acts as an antiviral mechanism in mammalian cells remains controversial. The antiviral interferon (IFN) response cannot easily be distinguished from a possible antiviral RNAi pathway owing to the involvement of double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA) as a common inducer molecule. The non‐structural protein 3 (NS3) protein of rice hoja blanca virus (RHBV) is an RNA silencing suppressor (RSS) that exclusively binds to small dsRNA molecules. Here, we show that this plant viral RSS lacks IFN antagonistic activity, yet it is able to substitute the RSS function of the Tat protein of human immunodeficiency virus type 1. An NS3 mutant that is deficient in RNA binding and its associated RSS activity is inactive in this complementation assay. This cross‐kingdom suppression of RNAi in mammalian cells by a plant viral RSS indicates the significance of the antiviral RNAi response in mammalian cells and the usefulness of well‐defined RSS proteins.
