GmCYB5-4 inhibit SMV proliferation by targeting P3 protein
In this study, we comprehensively analyzed the GmCYB5 family in soybeans, including its distribution on chromosomes, promoter analysis, conserved motifs, phylogenetic analysis, and expression patterns. We cloned the full-length GmCYB5-4 and examined its interaction with P3 in yeast, which was later confirmed using bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFc). We silenced GmCYB5-4 using a bean pottle mosaic viris (BPMV) based system to generate SilCYB5-4 tissues, which surprisingly knocked down four isoforms of GmCYB5s for functional characterization. SilCYB5-4 plants were challenged with the SC3 strain to determine its involvement in SMV infection. Silencing GmCYB5-4 increased SMV accumulation, indicating that GmCYB5-4 inhibited SMV proliferation. However, further experiments are needed to elucidate the mechanism underlying the involvement of GmCYB5-4 in SMV infection.PMID:38640788 | DOI:10.1016/j.virol.2024.110069
