Graduate Program in Plant Pathology The Ohio State University 2020 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Feng Qu, Advisor Dr. Maria S. Benitez Ponce Dr. Renukaradhya Gourapura Dr. Scott P. Kenney Dr. Tea Meulia Copyright by Shaoyan Zhang 2020 ABSTRACT Plant viruses routinely inflict serious losses in the yield of food and cash crops, ruining the livelihood of farmers, and leading to hunger and malnutrition in many parts of the globe. Our research focuses on a group of viruses known as positive sense (+) RNA viruses that are the most common disease-causing viruses in crops worldwide. All (+) RNA viruses use single-stranded RNAs as the genome to encode a small number of viral proteins on the genomic RNA. Despite the enormous diversity among the proteins these viruses encode, all (+) RNA viruses encode at least one protein, the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), that directs the replication of the viral genome. Existing evidence indicates that the expression of RdRp in virus-infected cells is tightly regulated at low levels, but the consequences of perturbing expression of RdRp have not been well understood. Therefore, our research concentrates on understanding how increasing the RdRp expression levels of a (+) RNA virus could affect the viral RNA replication dynamics. In Chapter one, we review the existing literature about RdRps encoded by different (+) RNA viruses. we first give an overview of the replication process of (+) RNA viruses, then summarize various mechanisms that control the expression levels of RdRp. We also touch on viral derived long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), which are often 3’ co-terminal with genomic RNAs of (+) RNA viruses. We introduce turnip crinkle virus (TCV), the i primary model virus used in my thesis research. At the end of Chapter one, we raise the question that how increasing the RdRp expression levels of a (+) RNA virus could affect the viral RNA replication dynamics. We hypothesize that overexpression of the p88 RdRp encoded by TCV compromises TCV replication and upsets the relative accumulation levels of different TCV RNAs. This hypothesis is rigorously tested in Chapters two and three. Previous work in our lab found that p28, the auxiliary replication protein of TCV, trans-complemented a defective TCV lacking p28, yet repressed the replication of another TCV replicon encoding wildtype p28. In Chapter Two we showed that p88, the TCV-encoded RdRp, readthrough product of p28, likewise trans-complemented a p88- defective TCV replicon, but repressed the replication of another TCV replicon encoding wild-type p88. Surprisingly, lowering p88 protein levels enhanced trans- complementation, but weakened repression. Repression by p88 was not simply due to protein over-expression, as deletion mutants missing 127 or 224 N-terminal amino acids accumulated to higher levels but were poor repressors. Finally, both trans- complementation and repression by p88 were accompanied by preferential accumulation of subgenomic RNA2, and a TCV specific lncRNA. Our results suggest that repression of TCV replication by p88 may manifest a viral mechanism that regulates the ratio of genomic and subgenomic RNAs based on p88 abundance. Many positive sense (+) RNA viruses encode long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) that play important roles in their infections. A distinguishing feature of these lncRNAs is that they are produced through 5'-to-3' degradation of viral genomic or subgenomic RNAs, by ii exoribonucleases of host cells. In Chapter Three, we further investigated the lncRNA discovered in Chapter Two and found that this TCV-borne lncRNA was produced by a replication-based mechanism. This lncRNA, designated tiny TCV subgenomic RNA (ttsgR), was mapped to the last 283 nucleotides of TCV genomic RNA. It accumulated to high levels in cells of Nicotiana benthamiana plants in which TCV replication took place in the presence of overexpressing the RdRp p88. Moreover, ttsgRNA replicated robustly from templates as short as itself, without the need for any other TCV RNAs, as long as both of the TCV replication proteins, p28 and p88, were provided in trans from nonviral sources. Accordingly, both (+) and (-) sense forms of ttsgR were detected using a strand- specific RT-PCR procedure. ttsgRNA replication did not entail any 5’ RNA secondary structure but required the presence of a G3(A/U)4 motif at the 5’ terminus. Furthermore, it strictly relied on the integrity of the CCC motif at the 3’ terminus. Both of these structural features are shared by TCV genomic and subgenomic RNAs. These findings established that ttsgRNA was the product of a replication-based mechanism, and identified a novel strategy for the biogenesis of lncRNAs associated with (+) RNA viruses. In Chapter four, we extend our RdRp research to a distinct (+) RNA flock house virus (FHV), which infects plants, insects, and also mammalian cells. Unlike TCV, FHV encodes one single replication protein – the RdRp – that directs the entire replication cycle. Our preliminary experiments nevertheless demonstrated that FHV RdRp, when over-expressed in N. benthamiana cells from a non-viral source, was able to complement iii the replication of FHV mutants lacking their own RdRp. More importantly, the same RdRp potently repressed the replication of FHV replicons encoding a functional RdRp. Collectively, my thesis research demonstrated that over-expressing RdRps of (+) RNA viruses appears to have a conserved, repressive effect on the replication of the cognate viruses. These results, combined with findings by others in our lab, are consistent with a working model postulating that viral RdRps and possibly other replication proteins, dynamically regulate the viral replication process depending on the intracellular concentration of these proteins. Manipulating the concentration of these proteins could potentially control the replication of viruses. These findings are expected to provide an important guide for novel virus control strategies. iv DEDICATION To my parents for their unconditional love and support, to my advisor for his patient guidance and fruitful help v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I cannot begin to express my gratitude to my advisor, Dr. Feng Qu, for his guidance, critiques, and advices throughout my PhD studies.

  • A Novel Rhabdovirus Infecting Newly Discovered Nycteribiid Bat Flies
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Kanyawara Virus: A Novel Rhabdovirus Infecting Newly Discovered Nycteribiid Bat Flies Received: 19 April 2017 Accepted: 25 May 2017 Infesting Previously Unknown Published: xx xx xxxx Pteropodid Bats in Uganda Tony L. Goldberg 1,2,3, Andrew J. Bennett1, Robert Kityo3, Jens H. Kuhn4 & Colin A. Chapman3,5 Bats are natural reservoir hosts of highly virulent pathogens such as Marburg virus, Nipah virus, and SARS coronavirus. However, little is known about the role of bat ectoparasites in transmitting and maintaining such viruses. The intricate relationship between bats and their ectoparasites suggests that ectoparasites might serve as viral vectors, but evidence to date is scant. Bat flies, in particular, are highly specialized obligate hematophagous ectoparasites that incidentally bite humans. Using next- generation sequencing, we discovered a novel ledantevirus (mononegaviral family Rhabdoviridae, genus Ledantevirus) in nycteribiid bat flies infesting pteropodid bats in western Uganda. Mitochondrial DNA analyses revealed that both the bat flies and their bat hosts belong to putative new species. The coding-complete genome of the new virus, named Kanyawara virus (KYAV), is only distantly related to that of its closest known relative, Mount Elgon bat virus, and was found at high titers in bat flies but not in blood or on mucosal surfaces of host bats. Viral genome analysis indicates unusually low CpG dinucleotide depletion in KYAV compared to other ledanteviruses and rhabdovirus groups, with KYAV displaying values similar to rhabdoviruses of arthropods. Our findings highlight the possibility of a yet- to-be-discovered diversity of potentially pathogenic viruses in bat ectoparasites. Bats (order Chiroptera) represent the second largest order of mammals after rodents (order Rodentia).

    The Plant Cell, Vol. 9, 2051-2063, November 1997 O 1997 American Society of Plant Physiologists Satellite RNA-Mediated Resistance to Turnip Crinkle Virus in Arabidopsis lnvolves a Reduction in Virus Movement Qingzhong Kong, Jianlong Wang, and Anne E. Simon’ Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and Program in Molecular and Cellular Biology, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Massachusetts O1 003-4505 Satellite RNAs (sat-RNAs) are parasites of viruses that can mediate resistance to the helper virus. We previously showed that a sat-RNA (sat-RNA C) of turnip crinkle virus (TCV), which normally intensifies symptoms of TCV, is able to attenuate symptoms when TCV contains the coat protein (CP) of cardamine chlorotic fleck virus (TCV-CPccw).We have now determined that sat-RNA C also attenuates symptoms of TCV containing an alteration in the initiating AUG of the CP open reading frame (TCV-CPm). TCV-CPm, which is able to move systemically in both the TCV-susceptible ecotype Columbia (Col-O) and the TCV-resistant ecotype Dijon (Di-O), produced a reduced level of CP and no detectable virions in infected plants. Sat-RNA C reduced the accumulation of TCV-CPm by <25% in protoplasts while reducing the level of TCV-CPm by 90 to 100% in uninoculated leaves of COLO and Di-O. Our results suggest that in the presence of a re- duced level of a possibly altered CP, sat-RNA C reduces virus long-distance movement in a manner that is independent of the salicylic acid-dependent defense pathway.

This book results from the contributions of 150 well-known specialists and presents of for the first time an in-depth look at all the viruses (including the retrotransposons) Poaceae(Gramineae) infesting one plant family. Ta xonomic and agronomic descriptions of the Poaceae are presented, followed by data on molecular and biological characteristics of the viruses and descriptions up to species level. Virus diseases of field grasses (barley, maize, rice, rye, sorghum, sugarcane, triticale and wheats), forage, ornamental, aromatic, wild and lawn Gramineae are largely described and illustrated (32 colour plates). A detailed index Sciences de la vie e) of viruses and taxonomic lists will help readers in their search for information. Foreworded by Marc Van Regenmortel, this book is essential for anyone with an interest in plant pathology especially plant virology, entomology, breeding minea and forecasting. Agronomists will also find this book invaluable. ra The book was coordinated by Hervé Lapierre, previously a researcher at the Institut H. Lapierre, P.-A. Signoret, editors National de la Recherche Agronomique (Versailles-France) and Pierre A. Signoret emeritus eae (G professor and formerly head of the plant pathology department at Ecole Nationale Supérieure ac Agronomique (Montpellier-France). Both have worked from the late 1960’s on virus diseases Po of Poaceae .
