Abstract
The largest open reading frame of the turnip yellow mosaic virus RNA genome encodes a 206-kDa protein that is cleaved to yield N-terminal 150-kDa (p150) and C-terminal 70-kDa (p70) proteins. Using a genomic cDNA clone capable of generating infectious transcripts in vitro, we have introduced substitution, frameshift, and in-frame deletion mutations into the regions encoding both proteins. None of the mutant RNAs was able to replicate independently in turnip protoplasts, indicating that p150 and p70 are both essential. The replication in protoplasts of most of these defective RNAs was poorly supported in trans by a coinoculated helper genome with a deletion in the coat protein gene; replication could also be supported in trans by certain defective RNAs, but this complementation was likewise inefficient in most cases. The replication in trans was more efficient for defective RNAs encoding wild-type p150 and defective p70 than for those encoding defective p150 and wild-type p70. One defective RNA with a large deletion in the p70 coding region was able to replicate efficiently, both when inoculated with the helper genome and when inoculated with a second complementing defective RNA that supplied a wild-type p70. Thus, the cis preference of replication can be overcome in some cases. A model in which p150 and p70 form a complex with the 3' end of the RNA is proposed to explain the cis-preferential replication of turnip yellow mosaic virus RNA.
