[PMID: 38257773 PMCID: PMC10820994 DOI: 10.3390/v16010073] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Revised: 12/24/2023] [Accepted: 12/29/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Rice stripe disease caused by the rice stripe virus (RSV), which infects many Poaceae species in nature, is one of the most devastating plant viruses in rice that causes enormous losses in production. Ailanthone is one of the typical C20 quassinoids synthesized by the secondary metabolism of Ailanthus altissima, which has been proven to be a biologically active natural product with promising prospects and great potential for use as a lead structure for pesticide development. Based on the achievement of the systemic infection and replication of RSV in Nicotiana benthamiana plants and rice protoplasts, the antiviral properties of Ailanthone were investigated by determining its effects on viral-coding RNA gene expression using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and Western blot analysis. Ailanthone exhibited a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on RSV NSvc3 expression in the assay in both virus-infected tobacco plants and rice protoplasts. Further efforts revealed a potent inhibitory effect of Ailanthone on the expression of seven RSV protein-encoding genes, among which NS3, NSvc3, NS4, and NSvc4 are the most affected genes. These facts promoted an extended and greater depth of understanding of the antiviral nature of Ailanthone against plant viruses, in addition to the limited knowledge of its anti-tobacco mosaic virus properties. Moreover, the leaf disc method introduced and developed in the study for the detection of the antiviral activity of Ailanthone facilitates an available and convenient screening method for anti-RSV natural products or synthetic chemicals.

MOLECULAR PLANT PATHOLOGY 2023; 24:1359-1369.

Abstract
Our previous study identified an evolutionarily conserved C4HC3-type E3 ligase, named microtubule-associated E3 ligase (MEL), that regulates broad-spectrum plant resistance against viral, fungal and bacterial pathogens in multiple plant species by mediating serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT1) degradation via the 26S proteasome pathway. In the present study, we found that NS3 protein encoded by rice stripe virus could competitively bind to the MEL substrate recognition site, thereby inhibiting MEL interacting with and ubiquitinating SHMT1. This, in turn, leads to the accumulation of SHMT1 and the repression of downstream plant defence responses, including reactive oxygen species accumulation, mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway activation, and the up-regulation of disease-related gene expression. Our findings shed light on the ongoing arms race between pathogens and demonstrate how a plant virus can counteract the plant defence response.

Abstract
The small brown planthopper, Laodelphax striatellus, is a destructive pest insect found in rice fields. L. striatellus not only directly feeds on the phloem sap of rice but also transmits various viruses, such as rice stripe virus (RSV) and rice black-streaked dwarf virus, resulting in serious loss of rice production. RSV is a rice-infecting virus that is found mainly in Korea, China, and Japan. To develop novel strategies to control L. striatellus and L. striatellus-transmitted viruses, various studies have been conducted, based on vector biology, interactions between vectors and pathogens, and omics, including transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. In this review, we discuss the roles of saliva proteins during phloem sap-sucking and virus transmission, the diversity and role of the microbial community in L. striatellus, the profile and molecular mechanisms of insecticide resistance, classification of L. striatellus-transmitted RSV, its host range and symptoms, its genome composition and roles of virus-derived proteins, its distribution, interactions with L. striatellus, and resistance and control, to suggest future directions for integrated pest management to control L. striatellus and L. striatellus-transmitted viruses.

Abstract
The rice stripe virus (RSV) is responsible for devastating effects in East Asian rice-producing areas. The disease-specific protein (SP) level in rice plants determines the severity of RSV symptoms. Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) assays confirmed the interaction between an R3H domain-containing host factor, OsR3H3, and RSV SP in vitro and in vivo. This study determined the crystal structure of SP at 1.71 Å. It is a monomer with a clear shallow groove to accommodate host factors. Docking OsR3H3 into the groove generates an SP/OsR3H3 complex, which provides insights into the protein-binding mechanism of SP. Furthermore, SP's protein-binding properties and model-defined recognition residues were assessed using mutagenesis, ITC, and BiFC assays. This study revealed the structure and preliminary protein interaction mechanisms of RSV SP, shedding light on the molecular mechanism underlying the development of RSV infection symptoms.

Abstract
Rice stripe disease caused by Rice stripe virus (RSV) is one of the most devastating plant viruses of rice and causes enormous losses in production. RSV is transmitted from plant to plant by the small brown planthopper (Laodelphax striatellus) in a circulative-propagative manner. The recent reemergence of this pathogen in East Asia since 2000 has made RSV one of the most studied plant viruses over the past two decades. Extensive studies of RSV have resulted in substantial advances regarding fundamental aspects of the virus infection. Here, we compile and analyze recent information on RSV with a special emphasis on the strategies that RSV has adopted to establish infections. These advances include RSV replication and movement in host plants and the small brown planthopper vector, innate immunity defenses against RSV infection, epidemiology, and recent advances in the management of rice stripe disease. Understanding these issues will facilitate the design of novel antiviral therapies for management and contribute to a more detailed understanding of negative-sense virus-host interactions at the molecular level.

Abstract
Negative-strand (-) RNA viruses (NSVs) comprise a large and diverse group of viruses that are generally divided in those with non-segmented and those with segmented genomes. Whereas most NSVs infect animals and humans, the smaller group of the plant-infecting counterparts is expanding, with many causing devastating diseases worldwide, affecting a large number of major bulk and high-value food crops. In 2018, the taxonomy of segmented NSVs faced a major reorganization with the establishment of the order Bunyavirales. This article overviews the major plant viruses that are part of the order, i.e., orthospoviruses (Tospoviridae), tenuiviruses (Phenuiviridae), and emaraviruses (Fimoviridae), and provides updates on the more recent ongoing research. Features shared with the animal-infecting counterparts are mentioned, however, special attention is given to their adaptation to plant hosts and vector transmission, including intra/intercellular trafficking and viral counter defense to antiviral RNAi.

Ubiquitin-Like protein 5 interacts with the silencing suppressor p3 of rice stripe virus and mediates its degradation through the 26S proteasome pathway. PLoS Pathog 2020; 16:e1008780. [PMID: 32866188 PMCID: PMC7485977 DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1008780] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2020] [Revised: 09/11/2020] [Accepted: 07/06/2020] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Ubiquitin like protein 5 (UBL5) interacts with other proteins to regulate their function but differs from ubiquitin and other UBLs because it does not form covalent conjugates. Ubiquitin and most UBLs mediate the degradation of target proteins through the 26S proteasome but it is not known if UBL5 can also do that. Here we found that the UBL5s of rice and Nicotiana benthamiana interacted with rice stripe virus (RSV) p3 protein. Silencing of NbUBL5s in N. benthamiana facilitated RSV infection, while UBL5 overexpression conferred resistance to RSV in both N. benthamiana and rice. Further analysis showed that NbUBL5.1 impaired the function of p3 as a suppressor of silencing by degrading it through the 26S proteasome. NbUBL5.1 and OsUBL5 interacted with RPN10 and RPN13, the receptors of ubiquitin in the 26S proteasome. Furthermore, silencing of NbRPN10 or NbRPN13 compromised the degradation of p3 mediated by NbUBL5.1. Together, the results suggest that UBL5 mediates the degradation of RSV p3 protein through the 26S proteasome, a previously unreported plant defense strategy against RSV infection.
