Topic: Potyvirus


In the News (Thu 31 Dec 09)

  
  Potyvirus
The potyvirus group (named for its prototypical member, potato virus Y (PVY)) is the largest of the 34 plant virus groups and families currently recognised (Ward & Shukla, 1991).
Potyvirus virions are non-enveloped (Langenberg & Zhang, 1997) filamentous particles, 680 to 900nm long and 11 to 15nm wide (Dougherty & Carrington, 1988; Riechmann, et al., 1992).
Some potyvirus strains have a bipartite genome which contains identical proteins but are processed slightly different due to there being two strands of RNA and hence two polyproteins.

Potyvirus are ssRNA(+) viruses belonging to the family Potyviridae.
HC-Pro is a multifunctional protein that contains three intrinsic functional domains: an N-terminal domain essential for aphid transmission, a central domain that binds nucleic acid in a nonspecific manner and is implicated in a variety of processes, including suppression of RNA silencing and a C-terminal domain that is reminiscent of cysteine-peptidases.
Moreover, the economically important aphid-transmitted species of the genus Potyvirus were clustered together and showed a close phylogenetic relationship to members of the genus Rymovirus.

 IDENTIFICATION OF PLANT VIRAL SYNERGISM GENES
Plant viral synergisms may be divided into two major classes: the potyvirus-associated synergisms, in which one of the synergistic pair of viruses is a member of the potyvirus group of plant viruses, and the much less well characterized non-potyvirus synergisms, in which neither virus is a member of this group.
The best studied of the potyvirus -associated synergisms is the interaction of PVX with a number of viruses in the potyvirus group, including potato virus Y (PVY), tobacco vein mottling virus (TVMV) and tobacco etch virus (TEV).
PVX/potyviral synergism does not require a co-infecting potyvirus, and synergistic disease is mimicked in transgenic plants expressing the 5' proximal region of the potyviral genome and infected singly with PVX (Vance et al., 1995).

All members of the potyvirus group (about 180) encode a protein, called the cylindrical inclusion protein (CIP), that aggregates in the cytoplasm of infected cells to form inclusions resembling pinwheels.
This makes sense since the potyvirus particles are long and flexuous.Plant viruses shorter or longer than those of the potyvirus group do not induce cylindrical inclusions but often occur in very large numbers intracellularly.

 Welcome To Paradise- River Hill High School
The symptomatic Tricyrtis was analyzed by ELISA using a panel of potyvirus specific monoclonal antibodies (McAbs).
One-on-one comparisons of the CP amino acid and 3’ NCR nucleotide sequences in the Tricyrtis virus revealed less than 90.0% identity with other members of the potyvirus group, which suggests that this virus is a unique member of the potyvirus group.
This is believed to be the first report of a potyvirus, not to mention any virus infection, in the genus Tricyrtis.

Potyviruses belong to the family Potyviridae: named after their prototypical member, potato virus Y. Potyviruses comprise the largest group of viruses that infect plants and include up to 30% of all plant viruses.
Potyviruses cause significant agricultural, horticultural and ornamental crop losses, and include the most destructive and most feared viral disease of stonefruit (e.g, peaches, plums, apricots), the Plum pox potyvirus (PPV).
The viruses are transmitted by a number of means including a vector (insect Aphididae), grafting, contact between plants, seed, pollen to the seed, pollen to the pollinated plant.
