A Zinc Finger Motif in the P1 N Terminus, Highly Conserved in a Subset of Potyviruses, Is Associated with the Host Range and Fitness of Telosma Mosaic Virus

P1 is the first protein translated from the genomes of most viruses in the family Potyviridae, and it contains a C-terminal serine-protease domain that cis-cleaves the junction between P1 and HCPro in most cases. Intriguingly, P1 is the most divergent among all mature viral factors, and its roles du...

Intriguingly, P1 is the most divergent among all mature viral factors, and its roles during viral infection are still far from understood. In this study, we found that telosma mosaic virus (TelMV, genus Potyvirus) in passion fruit, unlike TelMV isolates present in other hosts, has two stretches at the P1 N terminus, named N1 and N2, with N1 harboring a Zn finger motif. Further analysis revealed that at least 14 different potyviruses, mostly belonging to the bean common mosaic virus subgroup, encode a domain equivalent to N1. Using the newly developed TelMV infectious cDNA clones from passion fruit, we demonstrated that N1, but not N2, is crucial for viral infection in both Nicotiana benthamiana and passion fruit. The regulatory effects of N1 domain on P1 cis cleavage, as well as the accumulation and RNA silencing suppression (RSS) activity of its cognate HCPro, were comprehensively investigated. We found that N1 deletion decreases HCPro abundance at the posttranslational level, likely by impairing P1 cis cleavage, thus reducing HCPro-mediated RSS activity. Remarkably, disruption of the Zn finger motif in N1 did not impair P1 cis cleavage and HCPro accumulation but severely debilitated TelMV fitness. Therefore, our results suggest that the Zn finger motif in P1s plays a critical role in viral infection that is independent of P1 protease activity and self-release, as well as HCPro accumulation and silencing suppression.This work is supported by grants from the Hainan Provincial National Science Foundation (grant nos. 2019RC010 and 322CXTD505), Sanya Yazhou Bay Sci-Tech City (SYND-2022-32 and SYND-2022-02), the National Natural Science Foundation of China (32060603), and the Central Public Interest Scientific Institution Basal Research Fund for Chinese Academy of Tropical Agricultural Sciences (19CXTD-33).
