The Two Conserved Cysteine Residues of the Triple Gene Block Protein 2 Are Critical for Both Cell-to-Cell and Systemic Movement of Bamboo mosaic virus

Abstract: The triple gene block protein 2 (TGBp2) of Bamboo mosaic virus (BaMV) is a transmembrane protein which is known to be required for the cell-to-cell movement of potexviruses. This protein has two conserved Cys residues, Cys-109 and Cys-112, at its C-terminal tail, which is supposed to be exposed on the outer surface of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane and ER-derived granular vesicles. In this study, we investigated the importance of these two Cys residues on the cell-to-cell and systemic movement of BaMV… Show more

“…TGBp2 is an integral membrane protein of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and ER-derived granular vesicles [7], [19][23] with both its N- and C-terminal tails exposed to the cytosol [19] and it is able to bind vRNA in a non-specific manner in vitro [24]. Ala substitutions of the two conserved Cys residues at the C-terminal tail of TGBp2 make the cell-to-cell movement of BaMV relatively inefficient and systemic movement severely inhibited [25]. TGBp3 was found to reside in the ER at the same location of replicase [26].…”

“…Alanine substitution for R16 or R21 of TGBp1 diminished the RNA-binding and NTPase activities of the protein and conse-quently restrained the virus from moving (19). Mutations of the conserved C109 or C112 of TGBp2 reduced cell-to-cell movement and severely inhibited systemic transport of the virus (29). A sorting signal in TGBp3 is necessary and sufficient for the protein to target to cortical ER tubules, a step required for BaMV cell-to-cell movement (32).…”

“…NbTRXh2 was revealed to target the MP TGBp2 to reduce its disulfide bond ( Figure 2 ). Also, the two conserved cysteins forming the disulfide bond were demonstrated to play a key role in BaMV movement (Tseng et al, 2009). Therefore, NbTRXh2 targets TGBp2, which could result in the loss of the structural integrity of TGBp2 and their failure to interact with other movement-associated proteins, including TGBps1 and 3.…”
