Recruited host factors aid replication of plus-strand RNA viruses. In this paper, we show that Dbp2 DEAD-box helicase of yeast, which is a homolog of human p68 DEAD-box helicase, directly affects replication of Tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV). We demonstrate that Dbp2 binds to the 3'-end of the viral minus-stranded RNA and enhances plus-strand synthesis by the viral replicase in a yeast-based cell-free TBSV replication assay. In vitro data with wt and an ATPase-deficient Dbp2 mutant indicate that Dbp2 unwinds local secondary structures at the 3'-end of the TBSV (-)RNA We also show that Dbp2 complements the replication deficiency of TBSV in yeast containing reduced amount of Ded1 DEAD-box helicase, another host factor involved in TBSV replication, suggesting that Dbp2 and Ded1 helicases play redundant roles in TBSV replication. We also show that the orthologous AtRH20 DEAD-box helicase from Arabidopsis can increase tombusvirus replication in vitro and in yeast. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
