Plant virus movement proteins (MPs) localize to plasmodesmata (PD) to facilitate virus cell-to-cell movement. Numerous studies have suggested that MPs use a pathway either through the ER or through the plasma membrane (PM). Furthermore, recent studies reported that ER-PM contact sites and PM microdomains, which are subdomains found in the ER and PM, are involved in virus cell-to-cell movement. However, functional relationship of these subdomains in MP traffic to PD has not been described previously. We demonstrate here the intracellular trafficking of fig mosaic virus MP (MPFMV) using live cell imaging, focusing on its ER-directing signal peptide (SPFMV). Transiently expressed MPFMV was distributed predominantly in PD and patchy microdomains of the PM. Investigation of ER translocation efficiency revealed that SPFMV has quite low efficiency compared with SPs of well-characterized plant proteins, calreticulin and CLAVATA3. An MPFMV mutant lacking SPFMV localized exclusively to the PM microdomains, whereas SP chimeras, in which the SP of MPFMV was replaced by an SP of calreticulin or CLAVATA3, localized exclusively to the nodes of the ER, which was labeled with Arabidopsis synaptotagmin 1, a major component of ER-PM contact sites. From these results, we speculated that the low translocation efficiency of SPFMV contributes to the generation of ER-translocated and the microdomain-localized populations, both of which are necessary for PD localization. Consistent with this hypothesis, SP-deficient MPFMV became localized to PD when co-expressed with an SP chimera. Here we propose a new model for the intracellular trafficking of a viral MP. A substantial portion of MPFMV that fails to be translocated is transferred to the microdomains, whereas the remainder of MPFMV that is successfully translocated into the ER subsequently localizes to ER-PM contact sites and plays an important role in the entry of the microdomain-localized MPFMV into PD. Intercellular trafficking of molecules through plasmodesmata (PD) is indispensable for plant development. Plant viruses also use the intercellular trafficking system to establish systemic infection. Virus movement proteins (MPs), which have abilities to localize to PD and to move to the adjacent cells autonomously, play important roles in facilitating virus cell-to-cell movement. Hence, understanding how MPs reach PD has great significance for virology and plant cell biology. In this study, we analyzed the intracellular trafficking of fig mosaic virus movement protein (MPFMV) mainly based on its N-terminal signal peptide (SP). SPs, short peptides directing proteins to the ER, are frequently found in a diverse array of proteins, but rarely found in plant virus proteins. We focused on the SP of MPFMV and investigated the relationship between ER translocation and PD localization. We showed that the SP of MPFMV had quite low translocation efficiency and contributes to generating two distinct populations. Each population localized to specialized subdomains of the ER and PM, and was essential for PD localization, indicating that these subdomains and PD are functionally related. Thus, our findings offer new insights into cell-to-cell movement in plants.
