Viroids are plant-pathogenic molecules made up of single-stranded circular non-coding RNAs. How replicating viroids interfere with host silencing remains largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the effects of a nuclear-replicatingPotato spindle tuber viroid(PSTVd) on interference with plant RNA silencing. Using transient induction of silencing inGFPtransgenicNicotiana benthamianaplants (line 16c), we found that PSTVd replication acceleratedGFPsilencing and increasedVirp1mRNA, which encodes bromodomain-containing viroid-binding protein 1 and is required for PSTVd replication. DNA methylation was increased in theGFPtransgene promoter of PSTVd-replicating plants, indicating involvement of transcriptional gene silencing. Consistently, acceleratedGFPsilencing and increased DNA methylation in the ofGFPtransgene promoter were detected in plants transiently expressingVirp1. Virp1mRNA was also increased upon PSTVd infection in natural host potato plants. Reduced transcript levels of certain endogenous genes were also consistent with increases in DNA methylation in related gene promoters in PSTVd-infected potato plants. Together, our data demonstrate that PSTVd replication interferes with the nuclear silencing pathway in that host plant, and this is at least partially attributable to Virp1. This study provides new insights into the plant-viroid interaction on viroid pathogenicity by subverting the plant cell silencing machinery.
