Putative Auxin and Light Responsive Promoter Elements From the Tomato spotted wilt tospovirus Genome, When Expressed as cDNA, Are Functional in Arabidopsis.

ABSTRACT: Members of the virus order Bunyavirales cause serious diseases in animals, humans and plants. Family Tospoviridae in this order contains only one genus Orthotospovirus, and members in this genus exclusively infect plants. Tomato spotted wilt tospovirus (TSWV) is considered one of the most economically important plants viruses. Little is known about the regulatory elements in the TSWV genome. Here we show that, when in the cDNA form, the 5'-upstream region of the TSWV-coded G_N/G_C gene (pG_N/G_C) possesses putative cis-regulatory elements, including an auxin responsive element (AuxRE) for binding of auxin response factors (ARFs), as well as a circadian clock-associated 1 (CCA1) protein binding site (CBS).
