Abstract
Mulberry crinkle leaf virus (MCLV) is a representative species of the genus Mulcrilevirus in the family Geminiviridae. Here, we identified an additional V6 ORF which embedded within the V4 ORF in the MCLV virion-sense strand. The expression of V6 was confirmed by analyzing the promoter activity of V6 ORF upstream sequences and quantifying the viral DNA accumulation in V6-mutant MCLV-infected tomato plants. Infectious clones of V6-mutant MCLV vII (pCA-1.1MCLVmv6) and V4 and V6 double-mutant MCLV vII (pCA-1.1MCLVmV4mV6) were constructed, and experiments transfecting protoplasts isolated from Nicotiana benthamiana and infecting tomato using the constructs were performed. The results indicate that V6 plays a critical role in the multiplication of MCLV in protoplasts, although it has minimal, if any, impact on the systemic infection of MCLV in plants. Additionally, V4 and V6 positively regulate the MCLV DNA replication in synergistic form.
期刊介绍：
Launched in 1955, Virology is a broad and inclusive journal that welcomes submissions on all aspects of virology including plant, animal, microbial and human viruses. The journal publishes basic research as well as pre-clinical and clinical studies of vaccines, anti-viral drugs and their development, anti-viral therapies, and computational studies of virus infections. Any submission that is of broad interest to the community of virologists/vaccinologists and reporting scientifically accurate and valuable research will be considered for publication, including negative findings and multidisciplinary work.Virology is open to reviews, research manuscripts, short communication, registered reports as well as follow-up manuscripts.
