Inhibition of Cell-Free Translation and Replication of Tobacco Mosaic Virus RNA by Exogenously Added 5'-Proximal Fragments of the Genomic RNA.

ABSTRACT: Replication proteins of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), a positive-sense RNA virus, co-translationally bind to a 5'-proximal ~70-nucleotide (nt) region of the genomic RNA, referred to as the nuclease-resistant (NR) region for replication template selection. Therefore, disruption of the interaction between the viral replication proteins and viral genomic RNA is expected to inhibit the replication of TMV. In this study, we demonstrate that the addition of small RNA fragments (18-33 nts in length) derived from different regions within the NR region inhibit the binding of TMV replication proteins to viral RNA and TMV RNA replication in a cell-free system. Intriguingly, some of the small RNA fragments also inhibited the translation of mRNA in a sequence-nonspecific manner. These results highlight the pleiotropic roles of the 5'-proximal region of the TMV genome.

Packaged and Free Satellite Tobacco Mosaic Virus (STMV) RNA Genomes Adopt Distinct Conformational States.

Project description:The RNA genomes of viruses likely undergo multiple functionally important conformational changes during their replication cycles, changes that are poorly understood at present. We used two complementary in-solution RNA structure probing strategies (SHAPE-MaP and RING-MaP) to examine the structure of the RNA genome of satellite tobacco mosaic virus inside authentic virions and in a capsid-free state. Both RNA states feature similar three-domain architectures in which each major replicative function-translation, capsid coding, and genome synthesis-fall into distinct domains. There are, however, large conformational differences between the in-virion and capsid-free states, primarily in one arm of the central T domain. These data support a model in which the packaged capsid-bound RNA is constrained in a local high-energy conformation by the native capsid shell. The removal of the viral capsid then allows the RNA genome to relax into a more thermodynamically stable conformation. The RNA architecture of the central T domain thus likely changes during capsid assembly and disassembly and may play a role in genome packaging.

Replication protein of tobacco mosaic virus cotranslationally binds the 5' untranslated region of genomic RNA to enable viral replication.

Project description:Genomic RNA of positive-strand RNA viruses replicate via complementary (i.e., negative-strand) RNA in membrane-bound replication complexes. Before replication complex formation, virus-encoded replication proteins specifically recognize genomic RNA molecules and recruit them to sites of replication. Moreover, in many of these viruses, selection of replication templates by the replication proteins occurs preferentially in cis. This property is advantageous to the viruses in several aspects of viral replication and evolution, but the underlying molecular mechanisms have not been characterized. Here, we used an in vitro translation system to show that a 126-kDa replication protein of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), a positive-strand RNA virus, binds a 5'-terminal ∼70-nucleotide region of TMV RNA cotranslationally, but not posttranslationally. TMV mutants that carried nucleotide changes in the 5'-terminal region and showed a defect in the binding were unable to synthesize negative-strand RNA, indicating that this binding is essential for template selection. A C-terminally truncated 126-kDa protein, but not the full-length 126-kDa protein, was able to posttranslationally bind TMV RNA in vitro, suggesting that binding of the 126-kDa protein to the 70-nucleotide region occurs during translation and before synthesis of the C-terminal inhibitory domain. We also show that binding of the 126-kDa protein prevents further translation of the bound TMV RNA. These data provide a mechanistic explanation of how the 126-kDa protein selects replication templates in cis and how fatal collision between translating ribosomes and negative-strand RNA-synthesizing polymerases on the genomic RNA is avoided.

Tobacco mosaic virus infection spreads cell to cell as intact replication complexes.

Project description:Plant viruses encode movement proteins (MPs) that facilitate cell-cell transport of infection through plasmodesmata. Intracellular and intercellular spread of virus replication complexes (VRCs) of tobacco mosaic virus was followed in intact leaf tissue from 12 to 36 h post infection (hpi) by using confocal microscopy. From 12 hpi, VRCs in primary infected cells were associated with cortical endoplasmic reticulum, and at 14 hpi, exhibited high intracellular mobility ( approximately 160 nm/sec); mobility was slowed between 14 and 16 hpi ( approximately 40 nm/sec), and by 18 hpi, VRCs were stationary, adjacent to plasmodesmata. VRCs traversed the plasmodesmata between 18 and 20 hpi. The process of formation and movement of VRCs was repeated in adjacent cells in 3-4 h vs. 20 h from primary infected cells. The rapid intracellular movement of the VRCs and the spread to adjacent cells was blocked by inhibitors of filamentous actin and myosin, but not by inhibitors of microtubules. We propose a model whereby cell-cell spread of tobamovirus infection is accomplished by subviral replication complexes that initiate TMV replication immediately after entry to adjacent cells.

Coat protein regulates formation of replication complexes during tobacco mosaic virus infection.

Project description:The genome of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) encodes replicase protein(s), movement protein (MP), and capsid protein (CP). On infection, one or more viral proteins direct the assembly of virus replication complexes (VRCs), in association with host-derived membranes. The impact of CP-mediated resistance on the structures of the replication complexes was examined in nontransgenic and transgenic BY-2 cell lines that produce wild-type CP, mutant CP(T42W), and Ds-Red, which was targeted to endoplasmic reticulum by using immunofluorescence and 3D microscopy. We developed a model of VRCs that shows a clear association of MP with and surrounding the endoplasmic reticulum. Replicase is located within the MP bodies, as well as isolated sites throughout the cell. CP surrounds the VRCs. CP enhances the production of MP and increases the size of the VRC; however, the mutant CP(T42W) reduces the amount of MP and interferes with the formation of VRCs. We propose a regulatory role of the CP in the establishment of the VRC. We suggest that the lack of formation of VRCs restricts the efficiency of virus replication and the formation of virus movement complexes, resulting in restriction of cell-cell spread of infection. This results in higher levels of plant CP-mediated protection provided by CP(T42W).

Tobacco vein banding mosaic virus 6K2 Protein Hijacks NbPsbO1 for Virus Replication.

Project description:Chloroplast-bound vesicles are key components in viral replication complexes (VRCs) of potyviruses. The potyviral VRCs are induced by the second 6 kDa protein (6K2) and contain at least viral RNA and nuclear inclusion protein b. To date, no chloroplast protein has been identified to interact with 6K2 and involve in potyvirus replication. In this paper, we showed that the Photosystem II oxygen evolution complex protein of Nicotiana benthamiana (NbPsbO1) was a chloroplast protein interacting with 6K2 of Tobacco vein banding mosaic virus (TVBMV; genus Potyvirus) and present in the VRCs. The first 6 kDa protein (6K1) was recruited to VRCs by 6K2 but had no interaction with NbPSbO1. Knockdown of NbPsbO1 gene expression in N. benthamiana plants through virus-induced gene silencing significantly decreased the accumulation levels of TVBMV and another potyvirus Potato virus Y, but not Potato virus X of genus Potexvirus. Amino acid substitutions in 6K2 that disrupted its interaction with NbPsbO1 also affected the replication of TVBMV. NbPsbP1 and NbPsbQ1, two other components of the Photosystem II oxygen evolution complex had no interaction with 6K2 and no effect on TVBMV replication. To conclude, 6K2 recruits 6K1 to VRCs and hijacks chloroplast protein NbPsbO1 to regulate potyvirus replication.

Cleavage of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4G by exogenously added hybrid proteins containing poliovirus 2Apro in HeLa cells: effects on gene expression.

Project description:Efficient cleavage of both forms of eukaryotic initiation factor 4G (eIF4G-1 and eIF4G-2) has been achieved in HeLa cells by incubation with hybrid proteins containing poliovirus 2Apro. Entry of these proteins into cells is promoted by adenovirus particles. Substantial levels of ongoing translation on preexisting cellular mRNAs still continue for several hours after eIF4G degradation. Treatment of control HeLa cells with hypertonic medium causes an inhibition of translation that is reversed upon restoration of cells to normal medium. Protein synthesis is not restored in cells lacking intact eIF4G after hypertonic treatment. Notably, induction of synthesis of heat shock proteins still occurs in cells pretreated with poliovirus 2Apro, suggesting that transcription and translation of these mRNAs takes place even in the presence of cleaved eIF4G. Finally, the synthesis of luciferase was examined in a HeLa cell line bearing the luciferase gene under control of a tetracycline-regulated promoter. Transcription of the luciferase gene and transport of the mRNA to the cytoplasm occurs at control levels in eIF4G-deficient cells. However, luciferase synthesis is strongly inhibited in these cells. These findings indicate that intact eIF4G is necessary for the translation of mRNAs not engaged in translation with the exception of heat shock mRNAs but is not necessary for the translation of mRNAs that are being translated.

Subcellular Localizations of Catalase and Exogenously Added Fatty Acid in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

Project description:Fatty acids are important biological components, yet the metabolism of fatty acids in microalgae is not clearly understood. Previous studies found that Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, the model microalga, incorporates exogenously added fatty acids but metabolizes them differently from animals and yeast. Furthermore, a recent metabolic flux analysis found that the majority of lipid turnover in C. reinhardtii is the recycling of acyl chains from and to membranes, rather than β -oxidation. This indicates that for the alga, the maintenance of existing acyl chains may be more valuable than their breakdown for energy. To gain cell-biological knowledge of fatty acid metabolism in C. reinhardtii, we conducted microscopy analysis with fluorescent probes. First, we found that CAT1 (catalase isoform 1) is in the peroxisomes while CAT2 (catalase isoform 2) is localized in the endoplasmic reticulum, indicating the alga is capable of detoxifying hydrogen peroxide that would be produced during β-oxidation in the peroxisomes. Second, we compared the localization of exogenously added FL-C16 (fluorescently labelled palmitic acid) with fluorescently marked endosomes, mitochondria, peroxisomes, lysosomes, and lipid droplets. We found that exogenously added FL-C16 are incorporated and compartmentalized via a non-endocytic route within 10 min. However, the fluorescence signals from FL-C16 did not colocalize with any marked organelles, including peroxisomes. During triacylglycerol accumulation, the fluorescence signals from FL-C16 were localized in lipid droplets. These results support the idea that membrane turnover is favored over β-oxidation in C. reinhardtii. The knowledge gained in these analyses would aid further studies of the fatty acid metabolism.

Tobacco mosaic virus movement protein enhances the spread of RNA silencing.

Project description:Eukaryotic cells restrain the activity of foreign genetic elements, including viruses, through RNA silencing. Although viruses encode suppressors of silencing to support their propagation, viruses may also exploit silencing to regulate host gene expression or to control the level of their accumulation and thus to reduce damage to the host. RNA silencing in plants propagates from cell to cell and systemically via a sequence-specific signal. Since the signal spreads between cells through plasmodesmata like the viruses themselves, virus-encoded plasmodesmata-manipulating movement proteins (MP) may have a central role in compatible virus:host interactions by suppressing or enhancing the spread of the signal. Here, we have addressed the propagation of GFP silencing in the presence and absence of MP and MP mutants. We show that the protein enhances the spread of silencing. Small RNA analysis indicates that MP does not enhance the silencing pathway but rather enhances the transport of the signal through plasmodesmata. The ability to enhance the spread of silencing is maintained by certain MP mutants that can move between cells but which have defects in subcellular localization and do not support the spread of viral RNA. Using MP expressing and non-expressing virus mutants with a disabled silencing suppressing function, we provide evidence indicating that viral MP contributes to anti-viral silencing during infection. Our results suggest a role of MP in controlling virus propagation in the infected host by supporting the spread of silencing signal. This activity of MP involves only a subset of its properties implicated in the spread of viral RNA.
