RESUMO
Nucleotide sequence analysis of potato virus X (PVX) genomic RNA predicts five open reading frames (ORFs). Previous analysis of total RNAs from PVX-infected leaf tissue suggested that six subgenomic RNAs are synthesized during infection. However, the proteins encoded by the genomic RNA, the subgenomic RNAs, or the predicted ORFs have not been identified in vivo. To characterize the coding properties of the viral RNA, particularly to determine whether the five predicted ORFs function in vivo, total protein extracts prepared from PVX-infected leaf tissue were analyzed by using antibodies raised against virus-specific synthetic peptides and against the virus capsid protein. Dot blot analyses showed that these antibodies reacted to PVX-infected extracts, indicating in vivo expression of the five predicted ORFs. In addition, Western blot (immunoblot) analysis of the extracts showed that ORF 1, 2, 3, and 4 peptide antisera and coat protein antiserum detect predominantly a single protein.
