Abstract

The identity of the amino acid residue that links the VPg of the potyvirus tobacco vein mottling virus (TVMV) to the viral RNA was determined. 32P-labeled TVMV RNA was digested with RNase A and micrococcal nuclease. The resulting 32P-labeled VPg was isolated and partially hydrolyzed with 6 N HCl at 110 degrees C for 2 h. Analysis by thin-layer electrophoresis revealed the presence of [32P]phosphotyrosine but not [32P]phosphoserine or [32P]phosphothreonine. Another preparation of TVMV RNA was treated with endoproteinase Lys-C, and the resulting peptide-RNA was purified by sodium dodecyl sulfate-sucrose gradient centrifugation. The sequence of the N-terminal 15 amino acid residues of the peptide, when compared with the RNA-derived amino acid sequence of the TVMV polyprotein, demonstrated that the peptide occurs in the small nuclear inclusion protein. These data suggest that Tyr-1860 of the polyprotein is the amino acid residue that links the TVMV VPg to the viral RNA.
