  1. The Effect of the 5’UTR on in vivo Translation in TYMV Lisa Bauer Microbiology Mentor: Dr. Theo Dreher

  2. Turnip Yellow Mosaic Virus (TYMV) • Genus: Tymovirus • Single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus • Found in dicotyledonous plants • Viral Replication in all plant tissues • -Chloroplast membranes site of RNA synthesis • Why study TYMV?

  3. 6318nt 5’ m7GppGMP cap 3 overlapping reading frames (ORFs): -p69: Overlapping Protein -p206: Replication Protein -Coat Protein (CP) Sub genomic expression Genome structure of TYMV DraI XmnI p69 p206 tRNA-like Structure 5’UTR CP 3’ UTR

  4. 5’UTR *~…GCAAAUGAGUAAUGGCCU… p69 p206 Objective: Determine how the structure of the 5’UTR of TYMV affects which reading frame is most efficiently expressed in in vivo translation. Previous Studies: Kozak, 1986: -leaky scanning Dreher, 1989: -in vitro translation showed proteins of two reading frames equally produced Pleij et al., 1997: -the secondary structure of the 5’UTR does not affect the expression of the two different ORFs in vitro Hypothesis: The two different ORFs will be equally expressed in vivo.

  7. Experimental Process • Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) • Digestion with Not I and Pst I enzymes • Ligation • Transformation • E.coli • Purify DNA & Sequence

  8. Experimental Process Cont. 1. Linearize plasmid LUC 2. In vitro run-off transcription by T7 RNA polymerase (with cap analog) DM 3. RNA transfection Daiki Matsuda Protoplasts of cowpea leaves 4. Cell lysis DM 5. Luciferase reaction

  13. Conclusion • The 1st reading frame is most efficiently translated (WT p69 & Pleij p69) for both long and short 5’UTR • Translation of TYMV more efficient with presence of 3’TLS, except in WT p69 • The 3’ effect on translational efficiency is independent of the 5’ effect.

  14. In Progress • Re-construct Pleij p69 & Pleij p206 to match our version of TYMV 5’UTR sequence used in WT p69 & WT p206 • Knock out the alternate AUG
