ABSTRACT

Plum pox virus (PPV) is a member of thePotyvirus genus of plant viruses. Labeling with UDP-[3H]galactose and galactosyltransferase indicated that the capsid protein (CP) of PPV is a glycoprotein withN-acetylglucosamine terminal residues. Mass spectrometry analysis of different PPV isolates and mutants revealedO-linked N-acetylglucosamination, a modification barely studied in plant proteins, of serine and/or threonine residues near the amino end of PPV CP. CP of PPV virions is also modified by serine and threonine phosphorylation, as shown by Western blot analysis with anti-phosphoserine and anti-phosphothreonine antibodies. Thus, “yin-yang” glycosylation and phosphorylation may play an important role in the regulation of the different functions in which the potyviral CP is involved.
