9.B.308.  The Lettuce Infectious Yellows Virus P5 (LIYV-P5) Family 

The LIYV P5 protein is 39 aas long and has 1 TMS. It is part of the conserved quintuple gene block in the family Closteroviridae. The LIYV P5 protein is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-localized integral transmembrane protein. The knockout LIYV mutant presented reduced symptom severity and virus accumulation in Nicotiana benthamiana or lettuce plants, indicating its importance in efficient virus infection. P5, as well as its ortholog P6, encoded by Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) and another ER-localized protein encoded by LIYV RNA1, were found to cause cell death when expressed in N. benthamiana plants from a TMV vector, and it induced ER stress as well as the unfolded protein response (UPR) (Qiao et al. 2018). Several putative orthologues in different viruses are mentioned by Qiao et al. 2018, and these are presented in this family, although most of them show minimal sequence similarity.

ER movement protein p6 (6 kDa protein) (or ORF2) of 54 aas and 1 N-terminal TMS. Cell-to-cell movement of beet yellows closterovirus requires four structural proteins and the 6-kDa protein (p6). Either virus infection or p6 overexpression results in association of p6 with the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The p6 protein has a hydrophilic, C-terminal domain that is localized on the cytoplasmic face of the ER. In the infected cells, p6 forms a disulfide bridge via a cysteine residue located near the protein's N terminus. Mutagenic analyses indicated that each of the p6 domains, as well as protein dimerization, is essential for p6 function in virus movement (Peremyslov et al. 2004).

Three comoponent (triple gene block, TGB) TGBp1, 2 and 3, of 463 and 0 - 2 TMSs; 119 aas with 2 TMSs, N- and C-terminal, and 190 aas with 2 TMSs, N- and C-terminal, respectively, of potato mop-top virus (PMTV) (Cowan et al. 2002; Zamyatnin et al. 2004). This 3-component complex participates in the transport of viral RNA to the plasmodemata (Haupt et al. 2005). TGBp3 most probably contains signals of plasmodesmata targeting and is therefore involved in the targeting of TGBp2 and viral RNAs-TGBp1 (RNP complex), to plasmodesmata (Tilsner et al. 2010). TGBp2 can gate plasmodesmata and increase their size exclusion limit. TGBp2 and TGBp3 are necessary for the intracellular delivery of TGBp1-containing vRNPs to plasmodesmata (Shemyakina et al. 2011). Microtubule association is required for plasmodesmal targeting of TGBp1 (Shemyakina et al. 2011).
