Functionality of potato virus Y coat protein in cell-to-cell movement dynamics is defined by its N-terminal region

Potato virus Y (PVY) is one of the most economically important plant viruses worldwide, since it causes major yield losses in Solanaceae, especially in potato, where it is the causal agent of potato tuber necrosis ringspot disease, negatively impacting tuber quality and significantly reducing potato yield. By constructing different PVY N-terminal deletion mutants, we identified the regions of the coat protein that are important for efficient PVY cell-to-cell movement. Understanding these regions, responsible for cell-to-cell as well as long-distance movement, is crucial for economically important plant viruses such as PVY, since dissolving such complex processes will enhance our understanding of the PVY infective cycle and contribute to the development of effective tackling strategies against PVY infections in potato and prevent yield losses.

Abstract

Potato virus Y (PVY) is one of the most economically important plant viruses worldwide, since it causes major yield losses in Solanaceae, especially in potato, where it is the causal agent of potato tuber necrosis ringspot disease, negatively impacting tuber quality and significantly reducing potato yield. By constructing different PVY N-terminal deletion mutants, we identified the regions of the coat protein that are important for efficient PVY cell-to-cell movement. Understanding these regions, responsible for cell-to-cell as well as long-distance movement, is crucial for economically important plant viruses such as PVY, since dissolving such complex processes will enhance our understanding of the PVY infective cycle and contribute to the development of effective tackling strategies against PVY infections in potato and prevent yield losses.
