The virus-derived small interfering RNAs (vsiRNAs) of Chinese wheat mosaic virus (CWMV), a member of the genus Furovirus, were characterised from wheat plants by deep sequencing. CWMV vsiRNAs of 21-22 nt in length predominated, suggesting that there might be a conserved mechanism of DCL2 and DCL4 involvement in the biogenesis of vsiRNAs, as well as a common RNA silencing pathway in CWMV-infected wheat plants. The 5'-terminal base of vsiRNAs was biased towards A/U, suggesting that CWMV vsiRNAs might be loaded into diverse AGO-containing RISCs to disturb the gene expression of host plants. Possible targets for some of the vsiRNAs were predicted.
通过深度测序对小麦病毒属成员中国小麦花叶病毒(CWMV)的病毒衍生小干扰RNA(vsiRNAs)进行了表征。长度为21-22 nt的CWMV vsiRNAs占主导,这表明DCL2和DCL4可能参与vsiRNAs生物合成存在保守机制,并且在受CWMV感染的小麦植株中存在共同的RNA沉默途径。vsiRNAs的5'末端碱基偏向于A/U,这表明CWMV vsiRNAs可能被加载到多种含AGO的RNA诱导沉默复合体(RISC)中以干扰宿主植物的基因表达。预测了一些vsiRNAs的可能靶标。
