植物病毒诱导病害的分子基础一直是个谜。芜菁花叶病毒(Turnipmosaicvirus,TuMV)感染拟南芥后,可引起营养器官和生殖器官的发育缺陷。我们发现,这些缺陷,其中许多类似于那些在miRNA缺陷dicer-like 1(dc/1)突变体,是由于TuMV编码的RNA沉默抑制,P1/HC-Pro。RNA沉默的抑制是一种使TuMV能够全身感染的反防御机制。该抑制因子通过抑制miR 171引导的溶核功能,干扰miR 171(也称为miRNA 39)的活性,miR 171指导编码稻草人样转录因子的几种mRNA的切割。在被验证为miRNA引导的切割靶点的10种其他mRNA中,有8种在P1/HC-Pro存在下积累到升高的水平。TuMV和其他病毒诱导的植物疾病的基础可以解释,至少部分地,通过干扰与抗病毒RNA沉默途径共享组件的miRNA控制的发育途径。
The molecular basis for virus-induced disease in plants has been a long-standing mystery. Infection of Arabidopsis by Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) induces a number of developmental defects in vegetative and reproductive organs. We found that these defects, many of which resemble those in miRNA-deficient dicer-like1 (dc/1) mutants, were due to the TuMV-encoded RNA-silencing suppressor, P1/HC-Pro. Suppression of RNA silencing is a counterdefensive mechanism that enables systemic infection by TuMV. The suppressor interfered with the activity of miR171 (also known as miRNA39), which directs cleavage of several mRNAs coding for Scarecrow-like transcription factors, by inhibiting miR171-guided nucleolytic function. Out of ten other mRNAs that were validated as miRNA-guided cleavage targets, eight accumulated to elevated levels in the presence of P1/HC-Pro. The basis for TuMV- and other virus-induced disease in plants may be explained, at least partly, by interference with miRNA-controlled developmental pathways that share components with the antiviral RNA-silencing pathway.
