Abstract

Amino acid sequences of apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV) coat protein (CP) were compared between 12 isolates from apple, plum and cherry, and 109 cDNA clones that were amplified directly from infected apple tissues. Phylogenetic analysis based on the amino acid sequences of CP showed that the isolates and cDNA clones were separated into two major clusters in which the combinations of the five amino acids at positions 40, 59, 75, 130 and 184 (Ala-Val-Phe-Ser-Met or Ser-Leu-Tyr-Thr-Leu) were highly conserved within each cluster. Site-directed mutagenesis using an infectious cDNA clone of ACLSV indicated that the combinations of two amino acids (Ala and Phe or Ser and Tyr) are necessary for infectivity to plants by mechanical inoculation. Moreover, an agroinoculation assay indicated that the substitution of a single amino acid (Ala to Ser or Phe to Tyr) resulted in extreme reduction in the accumulation of viral genomic RNA, double-stranded RNAs and viral proteins (movement protein and CP) in infiltrated tissues, suggesting that the combinations of the two amino acids at positions 40 and 75 are important for effective replication in host plant cells.
