Plant viruses depend on a number of host factors for successful infection. Deficiency of critical host factors confers recessively inherited viral resistance in plants. For example, loss ofEssential for poteXvirus Accumulation 1(EXA1) in Arabidopsis thaliana confers resistance to potexviruses. However, the molecular mechanism of how EXA1 assists potexvirus infection remains largely unknown. Previous studies reported that the salicylic acid (SA) pathway is upregulated inexa1mutants, andEXA1modulates hypersensitive response-related cell death during EDS1-dependent effector-triggered immunity. Here, we show thatexa1-mediated viral resistance is mostly independent of SA and EDS1 pathways. We demonstrate thatArabidopsisEXA1 interacts with three members of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) family, eIF4E1, eIFiso4E, and novel cap-binding protein (nCBP), through the eIF4E-binding motif (4EBM). Expression of EXA1 inexa1mutants restored infection by the potexvirusPlantago asiatica mosaic virus(PlAMV), but EXA1 with mutations in 4EBM only partially restored infection. In virus inoculation experiments usingArabidopsisknockout mutants, EXA1 promoted PlAMV infection in concert with nCBP, but the functions of eIFiso4E and nCBP in promoting PlAMV infection were redundant. By contrast, the promotion of PlAMV infection by eIF4E1 was, at least partially, EXA1 independent. Taken together, our results imply that the interaction of EXA1-eIF4E family members is essential for efficient PlAMV multiplication, although specific roles of three eIF4E family members in PlAMV infection differ.IMPORTANCEThe genusPotexviruscomprises a group of plant RNA viruses, including viruses that cause serious damage to agricultural crops. We previously showed that loss ofEssential for poteXvirus Accumulation 1(EXA1) in Arabidopsis thaliana confers resistance to potexviruses. EXA1 may thus play a critical role in the success of potexvirus infection; hence, elucidation of its mechanism of action is crucial for understanding the infection process of potexviruses and for effective viral control. Previous studies reported that loss ofEXA1enhances plant immune responses, but our results indicate that this is not the primary mechanism ofexa1-mediated viral resistance. Here, we show thatArabidopsisEXA1 assists infection by the potexvirusPlantago asiatica mosaic virus(PlAMV) by interacting with the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E family. Our results imply that EXA1 contributes to PlAMV multiplication by regulating translation.
