Abstract
In positive-strand RNA viruses, 5' untranslated regions (5' UTRs) mediate many essential viral processes, including genome replication. Previously, we proposed that the 5'-terminal portion of the genomic leader sequence of Tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV) forms an RNA structure containing a 3-helix junction, termed the T-shaped domain (TSD). In the present study, we have carried out structure-function analysis of the proposed TSD and have confirmed an important role for this domain in mediating efficient viral RNA amplification. Using a model TBSV defective interfering RNA replicon and a protoplast system, we demonstrated that various TSD subelements contribute to the efficiency of viral RNA replication. In particular, the stabilities of all three stems (S1, S2, and S4) forming the 3-helix junction are important, while stem-loop 3-a terminal extension of S2-is largely dispensable. Additionally, some of the sequences forming the 3-helix junction are required in an identity-dependent manner. Thus, both secondary structure and nucleotide identity are important for TSD-mediated viral RNA replication. Importantly, these results are fully consistent with the dual functions we defined previously for the sequences corresponding to loops...Continue Reading
