Reconceptualizing transcriptional slippage in plant RNA viruses

RNA viruses have evolved sophisticated strategies to exploit the limited encoded information within their typically compact genomes. One of them, named transcriptional slippage (TS), is characterized by the appearance of indels in nascent viral RNAs, leading to changes in the open reading frame (ORF...

Although members of unrelated viral families express key proteins via TS, the available information about this phenomenon is still limited. In potyvirids (members of the Potyviridae family), TS has been defined by the insertion of an additional A at An motifs (n ≥ 6) in newly synthesized transcripts at a low frequency, modulated by nucleotides flanking the A-rich motif.

Moreover, a survey of whole-genome sequences from potyvirids shows a widespread occurrence of species-specific An/Un (n ≥ 6) motifs. Even though many of them, but not all, lead to the production of truncated proteins rather than access to overlapping ORFs, these results suggest that slippage motifs appear more frequently than expected and play relevant roles during virus evolution. Considering the potential of this phenomenon to expand the viral proteome by acceding to overlapping ORFs and/or producing truncated proteins, a re-evaluation of TS significance during infections of RNA viruses is required. 22024-01-0120242024-01-01Articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://ddd.uab.cat/record/319961https://dx.doi.org/urn:doi:10.1128/mbio.02120-24reponame:Dipòsit Digital de Documents de la UABinstname:Universitat Autònoma de BarcelonaInglésengMinisterio de Economía y Competitividad https://doi.org/10.13039/501100003329 BIO2015-73900-JINAgencia Estatal de Investigación https://doi.org/10.13039/501100011033 PID2019-110979RB-I00Agencia Estatal de Investigación https://doi.org/10.13039/501100011033 PID2019-105692RB-I00Agencia Estatal de Investigación https://doi.org/10.13039/501100011033 PID2022-139314OB-I00Agencia Estatal de Investigación https://doi.org/10.13039/501100011033 PID2022-139376OB-C33Agencia Estatal de Investigación https://doi.org/10.13039/501100011033 PID2022-138530OB-I00Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad https://doi.org/10.13039/501100003329 SEV-2015-0533Agencia Estatal de Investigación https://doi.org/10.13039/501100011033 CEX2019-000902-SMinisterio de Economía y Competitividad https://doi.org/10.13039/501100003329 BES-2014-068970open accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Aquest document està subjecte a una llicència d'ús Creative Commons.
