Abstract: | The approximately 12-kDa 2b protein, encoded by all cucumoviruses, had been shown to play an important role in viral long-distance movement, hypervirulence, and suppression of post-transcriptional gene silencing. The role of the 2b gene in the hypervirulence of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and whether hypervirulence was linked to movement were analyzed using a hybrid virus (CMV-qw), generated by replacing the 2b gene in a subgroup II strain, Q-CMV, with the 2b gene from a subgroup IA strain, WAII-CMV. CMV-qw was more virulent than Q-CMV or WAII-CMV on most of the host plant species tested. Northern blot and nucleotide sequence analyses demonstrated that CMV-qw was stably maintained during the course of infection and upon passage. Kinetic studies revealed that the hypervirulence induced by the hybrid virus was associated with neither increased viral RNA accumulation nor more rapid viral movement per se, suggesting that other functions of the 2b protein are important in determining the hypervirulence. |
