RESUMO
RNA-1 of Peanut clump virus (PCV) encodes the proteins P131 and P191, containing the signature motifs of replication proteins, and P15, which regulates viral RNA accumulation. In PCV-infected protoplasts both P131 and P191 were immunodetected in the perinuclear region. Laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) showed that P131 and P191 colocalized with neosynthesized 5-bromouridine 5′-triphosphate-labeled RNA and double-stranded RNA, demonstrating that they belong to the replication complex. On the contrary, the P15 fused to the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) never colocalized with the two proteins. In endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-GFP transgenic BY-2 protoplasts, the distribution of the green fluorescent-labeled ER was strongly modified by PCV infection. LSCM showed that both P131 and P191 colocalized with ER green fluorescent bodies accumulating around the nucleus during infection. The replication process was not inhibited by cerulenin and brefeldin A, suggesting that PCV replication does not depend on de novo-synthesized membrane and does not require transport through the Golgi apparatus. Electron microscopy of ultrathin sections of infected protoplasts showed aggregates of broken ER but also visualized vesicles, some of which resembled modified peroxisomes. The results suggest that accumulation of PCV during infection is accompanied by specific association of PCV RNA-1-encoded proteins with membranes of the ER and other organelles. The concomitant extensive rearrangement of these membranous structures leads to the formation of intracellular compartments in which synthesis and accumulation of the viral RNA occur in defined areas.
