Abstract

Potato virus X (PVX) contains five viral proteins as well as cis-acting elements like stem-loop 1 (SL1) RNAs at the 5? region. SL1 RNAs are involved in PVX RNA replication, encapsidation, translation, and cell-to-cell movement. In this study, we performed two-dimensional electrophoresis Northwestern blot analysis and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry and identified 24 tobacco proteins that interact with SL1 RNAs. Interestingly, one-third of the identified host proteins have been shown to interact with many plant viral proteins. In addition, we demonstrated that PVX capsid protein can bind to both SL1(+/-) RNAs. We further selected three Nicotiana benthamiana proteins including NbMPB2Cb, NbMBF1, and NbCPIP2a, to confirm results of Northwestern blot analysis. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay showed that NbMPB2Cb and NbMBF1 bind to both SL1(+/-) RNAs in vitro. In contrast, NbCPIP2a interacts only SL1(+) RNA. Taken together, we provide a list of host proteins interacting with PVX SL1 RNAs, which would be good candidates for the study of viral RNA-host protein interaction.
