Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of genetic engineering technology, and in particular to the application of reducing the expression level of L-asparaginase in improving the antiviral ability of plants and antiviral plant materials. Background Technology
[0002] Pepper mild mottled virus (PMMoV) is a globally prevalent pathogen with a natural infection rate approaching 95%, resulting in an average yield reduction of 15-40%, causing severe damage to peppers and other Solanaceae crops. Therefore, elucidating the pathogenic mechanism of PMMoV is crucial for developing control strategies for viral diseases in peppers and tomatoes.
[0003] Plant antiviral immunity depends on multiple pathways, including salicylic acid (SA), ethylene (Eth), and reactive oxygen species (ROS). SA plays a crucial role in antiviral defense by activating systemically acquired resistance (SAR). Ethylene regulates defense responses and programmed cell death. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) often confer resistance to viral infections in plants.
[0004] Amino acids, as the main form of nitrogen transport in plants, not only participate in metabolic processes but also act as signaling molecules to regulate immune responses. Amino acid hydrolases play a crucial role in amino acid metabolism. Among them, L-asparaginase (LA) catalyzes the hydrolysis of asparagine to aspartic acid and is widely present in both plants and animals. However, whether there is an interaction between LA and PMMoV has not been reported in the current technology. Summary of the Invention

This invention discovers that L-asparaginase interacts with various viral proteins (such as the PMMoV 126kDa protein), and that reducing L-asparaginase expression can improve plant antiviral capabilities.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: This invention provides the application of L-asparaginase in regulating plant antiviral ability, wherein the regulation is: increasing the expression level of L-asparaginase to reduce plant antiviral ability, or decreasing the expression level of L-asparaginase to increase plant antiviral ability.

[0015] This invention provides an antiviral plant material, which is a transgenic plant material with reduced L-asparaginase expression relative to wild type; the plant includes pepper or tobacco.

[0035] This invention, using yeast two-hybrid and luciferase complementation imaging (LCI) techniques, discovered that the 126 kDa protein of PMMoV interacts with LA in vitro and in vivo. LA negatively regulates plant antiviral defense. Asparagine confers antiviral resistance by activating SA, Eth, and ROS pathways. LA negatively regulates SA, Eth, and ROS signaling pathways. The 126 kDa protein of PMMoV enhances PMMoV infection by inhibiting SA, Eth, and ROS signaling pathways. The 126 kDa protein of PMMoV enhances enzymatic activity by binding to the active site of LA. Key sites of interaction between the 126 kDa protein of PMMoV and LA enzymes affect viral infection. Multiple viral effector proteins hijack LA to promote infection.

Regarding tobacco ( N. benthamiana When inoculating, adjust the Agrobacterium suspension carrying the viral clone to OD. 600 =0.5, then soak the leaves. Plants are cultured in an artificial growth chamber for 3-4 days, followed by assessment of PMMoV symptoms. Early PMMoV infection typically causes leaf margin curling in tobacco and peppers, which then develops into wrinkling and severe mottling. When inoculating peppers, symptomatic tobacco leaves are ground in 1×PBS buffer (2 ml buffer per 1 gram of leaf tissue), and the agglomerate is applied to the surface of pepper leaves that have been abraded with emery. Inoculated plants are cultured in a controlled environment, and viral symptoms are assessed 4-5 days after inoculation.
[0050] Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) Silencing fragments (300 bp) of NbLA-1, NbLA-2, CaLA-1, and CaLA-2 were screened using the VIGS design tool (https: / / vigs.solgenomics.net / ). Tandem fragments were generated by fusing NbLA-1 with NbLA-2 and CaLA-1 with CaLA-2 using overlap PCR, and then inserted into the pTRV2 vector to obtain pTRV2-NbLA-1 / 2 and pTRV2-CaLA-1 / 2, respectively. The GUS and PDS genes served as negative and positive controls, respectively. The negative and positive controls used are described in [Chen, J., Zhao, Y., Luo, X. et al.

[0063] Detection of LA activity in vivo and in vitro.
[0064] The LA activity in plants was determined using a LA activity assay kit (JL-T1111, Jianglai Biotechnology, China). LA catalyzes the hydrolysis of asparagine to aspartic acid and ammonia; under alkaline conditions, ammonia reacts with hypochlorite and phenol to generate a substance with an absorption peak at 630 nm, thus achieving indirect quantification of LA activity. The specific operation was performed according to the kit instructions.
[0065] Quantitative analysis and statistical processing All statistical analyses were performed using t-tests with GraphPad software (version 10.1.2). Protein abundance quantification was performed using ImageJ software (version 1.51).
[0066] Results and Analysis The results of in vivo and in vitro validation of the interaction between PMMoV 126 kDa protein and LA are shown in [the table below]. Figure 1 The results showed that the PMMoV 126kDa protein interacts with the LA gene in both yeast and plants.
[0067] Experimental results on the negative regulation of host antiviral defense by LA are shown in […]. Figures 2-5 The results showed that silencing the LA-1 and LA-2 genes in peppers and tobacco resulted in LA-1 / 2-silenced plants exhibiting milder PMMoV symptoms and reduced accumulation of the PMMoV coat protein (CP). Transgenic tobacco lines overexpressing NbLA-1-3HA or NbLA-2-3HA showed enhanced susceptibility to PMMoV. This indicates that LA negatively regulates plant antiviral defenses.
[0068] Experimental results showing that asparagine enhances PMMoV resistance by activating hormone signaling and reactive oxygen species pathways are shown in [the table]. Figure 6 and Figure 7 The results showed that Asn treatment significantly alleviated PMMoV symptoms in chili peppers and Nicotiana benthamiana, while Asp promoted infection. RNA sequencing analysis revealed that Asn treatment induced a significant enrichment of genes related to the SA, Eth, and ROS pathways. Histochemical staining with diaminobenzidine (DAB) and nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) confirmed that Asn promoted ROS accumulation, while Asp inhibited ROS generation. RT-qPCR analysis further revealed that Asn treatment significantly upregulated SA response genes (…). PR1 , PR2 and PR5 Eth response genes ( DUF26 , EIN3 and ERF1 ) and ROS response genes ( BIK1 , EX1 and SIK1 Aspartic acid (SA) is expressed by α, while Asp (P) inhibits its expression. This demonstrates that aspartic acid confers antiviral resistance in plants by activating the SA, Eth, and ROS pathways.
[0069] Experimental results on the negative regulation of ethylene, salicylic acid, and reactive oxygen species signaling pathways by LA are shown in […]. Figure 8 The results showed that SA response genes ( PR1 , PR2 , PR5 ), ethylene response ( DUF26 , EIN3 , ERF1) and reactive oxygen species response ( BIK1 , EX1 , SIK1 The expression of these genes was partially upregulated. In transgenic tobacco plants overexpressing NbLA-1-3HA or NbLA-2-3HA, the expression levels of these genes showed a partial decrease. The insignificant changes in some response genes may be due to the negative impact of elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels on the expression of specific defense genes, but this does not impair overall resistance, a phenomenon previously confirmed (Peleg-Grossman S, Melamed-Book N, Levine A. 2012. ROS production during symbiotic infection suppresses pathogenesis-related gene expression. Plant Signaling & Behavior 7, 409-415.). DAB and NBT staining further confirmed that LA overexpression inhibited ROS accumulation. Therefore, LA negatively regulates the SA, Eth, and ROS signaling pathways.
[0070] Experimental results showing that the 126 kDa protein inhibits ethylene, salicylic acid, and reactive oxygen species signaling and promotes PMMoV infection are shown in [the original text]. Figure 9 The results showed that transgenic tobacco plants expressing 126 kDa tobacco exhibited significantly more severe symptoms after PMMoV inoculation. RT-qPCR analysis revealed differential expression of some SA, Eth, and ROS response genes in 126 kDa overexpressing plants compared to wild-type plants; after Asn treatment, the expression levels of most SA, Eth, and ROS response genes in transgenic 126 kDa overexpressing plants were significantly reduced. DAB and NBT staining confirmed that 126 kDa protein expression inhibited reactive oxygen species accumulation, with the inhibitory effect being more significant after Asn treatment. Therefore, 126 kDa protein enhances PMMoV infection by inhibiting the SA, Eth, and ROS signaling pathways.
[0071] Experimental results showing that the 126 kDa protein targets the active region of LA and enhances its enzymatic activity are shown in [the table below]. Figure 10 The results showed that the yeast two-hybrid assay confirmed the specific binding of the 126 kDa protein to the LA catalytic domain. The presence of the 126 kDa protein significantly enhanced LA activity. The 126 kDa protein enhances enzymatic activity by binding to the LA active site.
[0072] Experimental results on the influence of key binding sites mediating the interaction between the 126 kDa protein and LA on viral infection are shown below. Figure 11The amino acid residues that interact with NbLA-1 and NbLA-2 by the 126 kDa protein were predicted using AlphaFold3 (https: / / golgi.sandbox.google.com / welcome). Yeast two-hybrid experiments showed that yeast expressing the mutant 126 kDa protein exhibited significantly inhibited growth. The mutant 126 kDa protein significantly reduced its ability to enhance LA enzyme activity. Figure 11 (Middle D). Furthermore, PMMoV carrying the 126 kDa mutation (PMMoV-126mut) showed reduced infectivity. This indicates that a key site in the interaction between the 126 kDa protein and the LA enzyme affects viral infection.
[0073] Experimental results on the hijacking of LA by multiple viral effector factors to promote viral infection are shown in [reference needed]. Figure 12 Yeast two-hybrid assays were used to investigate the interactions between effector proteins of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV 2b), rice stripe leaf blight virus (RSV NS3), and tomato dwarf virus (TBSV P19) and NbLA-1 and NbLA-2. In vitro enzymatic assays confirmed that both P19 and NS3 enhanced LA activity. Tobacco leaves were co-impregnated with TBSV-GFP and either NbLA-1-HA or NbLA-2-HA. Fluorescence intensity showed a significant increase in TBSV accumulation. This indicates that multiple viral effector proteins hijack LA to promote infection.
[0074] Experimental results on the positive regulation of tobacco's resistance to PMMoV by salicylic acid (SA) are shown in [the table below]. Figure 13 .
[0075] Experimental results on the positive regulation of tobacco resistance to PMMoV by ACC are shown in […]. Figure 14 .
