Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and more specifically, to the application of the OsDjA5 protein or its encoding gene in regulating plant resistance to Southern Rice Black-Streaked Dwarf Virus. Background Technology

[0002] Rice cultivation faces a diverse range of viral threats, encompassing pathogens such as RDV (rice dwarf virus), RSV (rice stripe virus), RBSDV (rice black-streaked dwarf virus), SRBSDV (southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus), RGSV (rice straw-like dwarf virus), RGDV (rice tumor dwarf virus), RRSV (rice serrated leaf dwarf virus), and RSMV (rice stripe mosaic virus). The distribution of these viral diseases exhibits regional differences; for example, southern rice-growing areas are heavily affected by dwarf virus, while northern areas generally face the challenge of rice stripe virus. The transmission chain of rice viral diseases mainly relies on insect vectors such as leafhoppers and planthoppers, which are frequently active in the field, acting as bridges for virus transmission from one rice plant to another, promoting rapid disease spread. Given that viral diseases tend to systemically infect rice plants, once infected, they have a profound impact on plant growth and development, significantly reducing rice yield and quality, posing a significant agricultural challenge.

[0003] SRBSDV is a viral disease that poses a serious threat to rice production, belonging to the genus Fijivirus in the family Reoviridae. This virus is widespread and has become one of the major diseases in southern rice-growing areas. SRBSDV virus particles exhibit a typical spherical structure, with a diameter ranging from approximately 75 to 80 nanometers. Its unique double-layered capsid surface is evenly distributed with 12 columnar protrusions, encapsulating a complex genome containing 10 double-stranded RNA strands. The virus has a wide host range, covering various gramineous crops such as rice, corn, and wheat, as well as weeds, but rice is its primary target. Since SRBSDV was officially recognized as a new species in 2008, domestic and international research efforts have intensified, gradually elucidating its pathogenic characteristics, transmission routes, and pathogenic mechanisms. The main vector of SRBSDV is the migratory pest—the white-backed planthopper (SRBSDV). Sogatella furciferaThese insects acquire the SRBSDV virus by feeding on the phloem sap of rice plants carrying the virus, and carry it for life, becoming key vectors for virus spread. After an incubation period within the planthopper, the virus is injected into healthy rice plants through its saliva, thus spreading the virus. Furthermore, the migratory habits of the white-backed planthopper and meteorological conditions such as descending air currents and rainfall all promote the widespread spread of the virus. SRBSDV causes significant damage to rice, manifesting as significantly stunted growth, abnormally dark green leaves, abnormally increased tillering, and poor root development. Rice infected during the seedling stage to the early tillering stage suffers severe growth inhibition, with plant height often less than half that of healthy plants, and fails to head, directly leading to crop failure. Even if infected during the late tillering to booting stage, the rice may still manage to head, but the grain filling rate is low, producing mostly empty grains, resulting in yield losses of 30% to 50%, and in severe cases, still facing the risk of total crop failure. After invading rice, SRBSDV primarily locates in the phloem, inducing abnormal cell proliferation and forming tumor-like structures, providing a favorable environment for viral replication and spread. Simultaneously, the virus interferes with the normal physiological functions of rice sieve tube cells, disrupting their metabolic processes, ultimately leading to inhibited rice growth and a sharp reduction in yield. Therefore, strengthening the monitoring, control, and scientific research of SRBSDV is of great significance for ensuring the safety of rice production. However, currently, very little information has been found about antiviral genes targeting SRBSDV.

[0004] Molecular chaperone proteins are a class of proteins that play important roles in cells. They are primarily responsible for assisting in the correct folding, assembly, and transport of proteins, making them a crucial research subject in protein chemistry and molecular biology. Through their unique functions, molecular chaperone proteins ensure the correct conformation and stability of proteins within cells, which is essential for maintaining normal cellular physiological functions. Molecular chaperone proteins play a vital role in plant virus infection. They not only participate in normal protein metabolism processes within plant cells but also directly or indirectly affect viral replication, assembly, and infection efficiency. Some molecular chaperone proteins can interact with virus-encoded proteins, thereby influencing the viral replication process. For example, the chaperone protein Hsp70 (Heat Shock Protein 70) is significantly upregulated during plant virus infection and may interact with the viral replication complex, promoting viral replication. Studies have shown that rice small heat shock protein (sHSP) OsHSP20 not only protects cells under high temperature and salt stress but also interacts with the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) of rice stripe virus (RSV). This suggests that OsHSP20 may participate in RSV replication and infection through its molecular chaperone activity. Furthermore, overexpression of OsHSP20 significantly enhanced the tolerance of E. coli and yeast cells to high temperature and salt stress, further confirming its important role in protein protection and stability.

[0005] First discovered in *Escherichia coli*, DnaJ proteins are heat shock proteins with a molecular weight of approximately 41 kDa. As one of the most diverse members of the molecular chaperone family, these proteins play crucial roles in maintaining proper protein folding, regulating various physiological processes, and participating in plant growth, development, and responses to environmental stress. Currently, scientists have conducted in-depth research on DnaJ family proteins in various organisms, including humans, fruit flies, mushrooms, tomatoes, and *Arabidopsis thaliana*. The most prominent feature of this family is the presence of a highly conserved amino acid sequence, the "J domain." This unique structure allows it to synergize with the HSP70 heat shock protein, assisting protein folding by enhancing ATPase activity while preventing the aggregation of misfolded proteins. Furthermore, these proteins participate in important cellular activities such as regulating the assembly of protein oligomers. Notably, these proteins not only affect viral protein maturation but also the viral life cycle and coordinate the relationship between host proteins and the virus. For example, the J domain protein (JDP), as a partner of HSP70, enhances viral RNA replication together with HSP70 and participates in the loading and unassembly of viral capsid proteins. Infection with different plant RNA viruses induces the expression of a heat shock protein chaperone (CPIP) from the DnaJ family. For example, PVA infection can induce the expression of tobacco CPIP, and the interaction between PVA CPIP and tobacco CPIP promotes viral replication and movement. Furthermore, HSP70 and its co-chaperone protein CPIP are essential for the replication and translation of potato virus Y.

[0006] The rice genome contains a large number of proteins with a J domain. These proteins range in amino acid length from 112 (12 kD) to 1,507 (164 kD). Unlike other heat shock protein gene families, J proteins exhibit significant molecular weight variation. Currently, 104 potential J proteins have been identified, including 12 type A, 9 type B, and 83 type C. OsDjA5 belongs to the type A family, and studies have shown that OsDjA4 and OsDjA5 can successfully compensate for the defective phenotype of the yeast Ydj1 protein mutation, demonstrating that it is a functional J domain protein. However, its impact on SRBSDV has not been reported. Summary of the Invention

OsDjA5 KO#4 and OsDjA5 KO#17, among which, OsDjA5 KO#4 is in OsDjA5 An "A" was inserted between bases 128 and 129 in the coding region, causing premature termination of the OsDjA5 amino acid sequence; OsDjA5 An "A" is inserted between the 25th and 26th bases in the KO#17 coding region, and another "A" is inserted between the 128th and 129th bases, causing premature termination of the amino acid sequence.

[0038] Example 2 OsDjA5 Effects of CRISPR / Cas9 on SRBSDV Resistance in Rice 1) SRBSDV infection was identified by measuring the expression level of SRBSDV S8 (S8 encodes the virus's core capsid protein) using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). White-backed planthoppers carrying SRBSDV (see Zhang et al., 2016. Suppression of jasmonic acid-mediated defense by viral-inducible microRNA319 facilitates virus infection in rice. Molecular Plant. 9:1302-1314) (the pathogen is Southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus, SRBSDV) were inoculated with the T1 generation transgenic plants obtained in Example 1. OsDjA5 CRISPR / Cas9 rice and wild-type rice Zhonghua 11 were inoculated with 30 plants of each type. The plants were cultured at 30 degrees Celsius during the day and 22 degrees Celsius at night, with a humidity of 60%. Each plant was inoculated with 3 white-backed planthoppers. After feeding on the plants for three days, the planthoppers were removed. The fed rice plants were then cultured in a sunny greenhouse (natural light and temperature. The experiment was repeated 3 times, and the average value was taken).

[0039] Four weeks after receiving the drug, T1 was extracted for transfusion. OsDjA5 CRISPR / Cas9 rice and wild-type rice (Zhonghua 11) leaf powder after infection were added to Trizol (Invitrogen) and RNA was extracted according to the instructions. Then, the genomic DNA in the RNA was digested using RQ1 DNase (Promega, catalog number: M610A) according to Table 1 below.

[0040] Table 1 Digestive System Then, 2 μg of digested RNA was used for reverse transcription qRT-PCR. For specific methods, please refer to invitrogen M-MLV Reverse Transcriptase (catalog number: 28025-021). OsEF1α(NCBI:XM_015774317.3) was used as an internal control, with primers EF1α-F: 5'-GCACGCTCTTCTTGCTTTCACTCT-3' (SEQ ID No. 15) and EF1α-R: 5'-AAAGGTCACCACCATACCAGGCTT-3' (SEQ ID No. 16). The expression level of S8 (NCBI:JQ692579.1) was detected using primers SRBSDV-S8-F: 5'-GAGCTTCAGTGAATTGGAAAC-3' (SEQ ID No. 17) and SRBSDV-S8-R: 5'-AGAGCCACACAATTATTTAAAATATGT-3' (SEQ ID No. 18). The results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, it can be seen that OsDjA5 CRISPR / Cas9 ( OsDjA5 The accumulation of S8 in KO transgenic rice was lower than that in wild-type rice (asterisks in the figure indicate significant differences).
