  • 香蕉束顶病毒(BBTV)严重危害着世界香蕉生产。BBTV编码的蛋白B4是个致病因子。但是,其相关的分子机制尚未知。本研究中,我们发现功能性多肽可能通过蛋白酶切割从蛋白B4释放出来。位点特异性突变暗示着蛋白B4的功能性切割为B4介导植物矮化和败育的病状所必需。B4释放出来的C端片段能靶向偶联RuBP羧化酶大亚基(RbcL)和涉及蛋白合成的延伸因子2(EF2)。这样,从B4(也是一前体)游离出来的多肽可作为影响BBTV病原与植物寄主互作的非经典性修饰子。

  • Banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) poses a serious danger to banana crops worldwide. BBTV-encoded protein B4 is a determinant of pathogenicity. However, the relevant molecular mechanisms underlying its effects remain unknown. In this study, we found that a functional peptide could be liberated from protein B4, likely via proteolytic processing. Site-directed mutagenesis indicated that the functional processing of protein B4 is required for its pathogenic effects, including dwarfism and sterility, in plants. The released protein fragment targets host proteins, such as the large subunit of RuBisCO (RbcL) and elongation factor 2 (EF2), involved in protein synthesis. Therefore, the peptide released from B4 (also a precursor) may act as a non-canonical modifier to influence host–pathogen interactions involving BBTV and plants.

    Abstract: Banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) poses a serious danger to banana crops worldwide. BBTV-encoded protein B4 is a determinant of pathogenicity. However, the relevant molecular mechanisms underlying its effects remain unknown. In this study, we found that a functional peptide could be liberated from protein B4, likely via proteolytic processing. Site-directed mutagenesis indicated that the functional processing of protein B4 is required for its pathogenic effects, including dwarfism and sterility, in plants. The released protein fragment targets host proteins, such as the large subunit of RuBisCO (RbcL) and elongation factor 2 (EF2), involved in protein synthesis. Therefore, the peptide released from B4 (also a precursor) may act as a non-canonical modifier to influence host–pathogen interactions involving BBTV and plants.
