Abstract | To further our understanding of the pro-viral roles of the host cytosolic heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) family, we chose the conserved Arabidopsis thaliana Hsp70-2 and the unique Erd2 (early response to dehydration 2), which contain Hsp70 domains. Based on in vitro studies with purified components, we show that AtHsp70-2 and AtErd2 perform pro-viral functions equivalent to that of the yeast Ssa1 Hsp70. These functions include activation of the tombusvirus RdRp, and stimulation of replicase assembly. Yeast-based complementation studies demonstrate that AtHsp70-2 or AtErd2 are present in the purified tombusvirus replicase. RNA silencing and over-expression studies in Nicotiana benthamiana suggest that both Hsp70-2 and Erd2 are co-opted by tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV). Moreover, we used allosteric inhibitors of Hsp70s to inhibit replication of TBSV and related plant viruses in plants. Altogether, interfering with the functions of the co-opted Hsp70s could be an effective antiviral approach against tombusviruses in plants. |
