Functional analysis of a DNA-shuffled movement protein reveals that microtubules are dispensable for the cell-to-cell movement of tobacco mosaic virus.
Microtubules interact strongly with the viral movement protein (MP) of Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and are thought to transport the viral genome between plant cells. We describe a functionally enhanced DNA-shuffled movement protein (MP(R3)) that remained bound to the vertices of the cortical endoplasmic reticulum, showing limited affinity for microtubules. A single amino acid change was shown to...
متن کاملCharacterization of mutant tobacco mosaic virus coat protein that interferes with virus cell-to-cell movement.
Expression of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) coat protein (CP) in plants confers resistance to infection by TMV and related tobamoviruses. Certain mutants of the CP (CP(T42W)) provide much greater levels of resistance than wild-type (wt) CP. In the present work, infection induced by RNA transcripts of TMV clones that contain wt CP or mutant CP(T42W) fused to the green fluorescent protein (GFP) (TMV...
متن کاملA dysfunctional movement protein of tobacco mosaic virus interferes with targeting of wild-type movement protein to microtubules.
The Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) movement protein (MPTMV) mediates cell-to-cell viral trafficking by altering properties of the plasmodesmata (Pd) in infected cells. During the infection cycle, MPTMV becomes transiently associated with endomembranes, microfilaments, and microtubules (MT). It has been shown that the cell-to-cell spread of TMV is reduced in plants expressing the dysfunctional MP mu...
متن کاملMovement of a barley stripe mosaic virus chimera with a tobacco mosaic virus movement protein.
The tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) 30K movement protein (MP) gene was inserted into a full-length cDNA clone of barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV) RNA beta replacing the triple gene block (TGB). The resulting recombinant ND-MPT genome, consisting of infectious wt transcripts of BSMV RNAs alpha and gamma, together with the hybrid RNA beta transcript, was inoculated onto test plants to study the funct...
متن کاملThe cell biology of Tobacco mosaic virus replication and movement
Successful systemic infection of a plant by Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) requires three processes that repeat over time: initial establishment and accumulation in invaded cells, intercellular movement, and systemic transport. Accumulation and intercellular movement of TMV necessarily involves intracellular transport by complexes containing virus and host proteins and virus RNA during a dynamic pr...
