The clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated (Cas9) system has enabled efficient genome engineering in diverse plant species. However, delivery of genome engineering reagents, such as the single guide RNA (sgRNA), into plant cells remains challenging. Here, we report the engineering of Tobacco rattle virus (TRV) and Pea early browning virus (PEBV) to deliver one or multiple sgRNAs into Nicotiana benthamiana and Arabidopsis thaliana (Col-0) plants that overexpress a nuclear localization signal containing Cas9. Our data showed that TRV and PEBV can deliver sgRNAs into inoculated and systemic leaves, and this resulted in mutagenesis of the targeted genomic loci. Moreover, in N. benthamiana, PEBV-based sgRNA delivery resulted in more targeted mutations than TRV-based delivery. Our data indicate that TRV and PEBV can facilitate plant genome engineering and can be used to produce targeted mutations for functional analysis and other biotechnological applications across diverse plant species.Key message: Delivery of genome engineering reagents into plant cells is challenging and inefficient and this limit the applications of this technology in many plant species. RNA viruses such as TRV and PEBV provide an efficient tool to systemically deliver sgRNAs for targeted genome modification.Citation

Phylogenetic analysis of Melon chlorotic leaf curl virus from Guatemala: Another emergent species in the Squash leaf curl virus cladeBrown, J.K.; Mills-Lujan, K.; Idris, Ali (Virus Research, Elsevier BV, 2011-06) [Article]The genome of a new bipartite begomovirus Melon chlorotic leaf curl virus from Guatemala (MCLCuV-GT) was cloned and the genome sequence was determined. The virus causes distinct symptoms on melons that were not previously observed in melon crops in Guatemala or elsewhere. Phylogenetic analysis of MCLCuV-GT and begomoviruses infecting cucurbits and other host plant species indicated that its closest relative was MCLCuV from Costa Rica (MCLCuV-CR). The DNA-A components of two isolates shared 88.8% nucleotide identity, making them strains of the same species. Further, both MCLCuV-GT and MCLCuV-CR grouped with other Western Hemisphere cucurbit-infecting species in the SLCV-clade making them the most southerly cucurbit-infecting members of the clade to date. Although the common region of the cognate components of MCLCuV-GT and MCLCuV-CR, shared similar to 96.3% nucleotide identity. While DNA-A and DNA-B components of MCLCuV-GT were less than 86% nucleotide identity with the respective DNAA and DNA-B common regions of MCLCuV-CR. The late viral genes of the two strains shared the least nt identity (<88%) while their early genes shared the highest nt identity (>90%). The collective evidence suggests that these two strains of MCLCuV are evolutionarily divergent owing in part to recombination, but also due to the accumulation of a substantial number of mutations. In addition they are differentially host-adapted, as has been documented for other cucurbit-infecting, bean-adapted, species in the SLCV clade. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

3D Model Construction of SARS-CoV-2 VirusMesri, Youssef; Bader, Wael; Alomairy, Rabab; Ltaief, Hatem; Keyes, David E. (KAUST Research Repository, 2020-09-06) [Dataset]Description: The dataset contains SARS-COV-2 virus 3D geometry extracted from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) codenamed PDBID 6VXX available at (https://www.rcsb.org/structure/6VXX). In 3D model construction, we first generate a tetrahedral mesh of the volume surrounding the molecular structure of the Spike glycoprotein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, a.k.a. the S protein from PDB. Codenamed PDBID 6VXX at the Protein Data Bank (PDB)2, the S protein has been generated with a 2.8Å resolution, i.e., 0.28nm. Once the mesh of the S protein has been constructed, We stitch several S proteins, approximately evenly distributed around the spheric geometry of the virus main body. Based on real geometrical description of the virus structure, we set the virus diameter to 140nm and attach 80 S proteins. We build a CAD model which represents the building block for the simulation pipeline. The CAD model is then triangulated to generate a 3D surface mesh of the overall SARS-COV-2 virus geometry. Software or equipment used to create the data: The mesh is generated using OxyGen Suite with third party tools: TetGen and VTK. OxyGen Suite is a collection of mesh generation, adaptation and deformation algorithms and tools that produces high quality static and dynamic simplex meshes.

From cholera to corals: Viruses as drivers of virulence in a major coral bacterial pathogenWeynberg, Karen D.; Voolstra, Christian R.; Neave, Matthew J.; Buerger, Patrick; van Oppen, Madeleine J. H. (Scientific Reports, Springer Nature, 2015-12-08) [Article]Disease is an increasing threat to reef-building corals. One of the few identified pathogens of coral disease is the bacterium Vibrio coralliilyticus. In Vibrio cholerae, infection by a bacterial virus (bacteriophage) results in the conversion of non-pathogenic strains to pathogenic strains and this can lead to cholera pandemics. Pathogenicity islands encoded in the V. cholerae genome play an important role in pathogenesis. Here we analyse five whole genome sequences of V. coralliilyticus to examine whether virulence is similarly driven by horizontally acquired elements. We demonstrate that bacteriophage genomes encoding toxin genes with homology to those found in pathogenic V. cholerae are integrated in V. coralliilyticus genomes. Virulence factors located on chromosomal pathogenicity islands also exist in some strains of V. coralliilyticus. The presence of these genetic signatures indicates virulence in V. coralliilyticus is driven by prophages and other horizontally acquired elements. Screening for pathogens of coral disease should target conserved regions in these elements.
