The Rice stripe virus (RSV) pc4 has been determined as the viral movement protein (MP). In this study, the pc4 gene was cloned into a movement-deficient Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). The resulting hybrid TMV-pc4, in addition to spreading cell to cell in Nicotiana tabacum, moved systemically and induced foliar necrosis in Nicotiana benthamiana, indicating novel functions of the RSV MP. A systematic alanine-scanning mutagenesis study established the region K-122-D-258 of the pc4 substantially associated with cell-to-cell movement, and mutants by replacement of KGR(122-124), D-135, ED170-171, ER201-202, EFE218-220 or ELD256-258 with alanine(s) no longer moved cell to cell. However, only one amino acid group KGR(122-124) was linked with long-distance movement. The region D-17-K-33 was recognized as a crucial domain for leaf necrosis response. and mutagenesis of DD17-18 or RK32-33 greatly attenuated necrosis. The overall data suggested manifold roles of the pc4 during the RSV infection in its experimental host N. benthamiana. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
