Abstract

The sugarcane streak mosaic virus (SCSMV) is the most important disease in sugarcane produced in southern China. The SCSMV encoded protein 1 (P1SCSMV) is important in disease development, but little is known about its detailed functions in plant–virus interactions. Here, the differential accumulated proteins (DAPs) were identified in the heterologous expression of P1SCSMV via a potato virus X (PVX)-based expression system, using a newly developed four-dimensional proteomics approach. The data were evaluated for credibility and reliability using qRT-RCR and Western blot analyses. The physiological response caused by host factors that directly interacted with the PVX-encoded proteins was more pronounced for enhancing the PVX accumulation and pathogenesis in Nicotiana benthamiana. P1SCSMV reduced photosynthesis by damaging the photosystem II (PSII). Overall, P1SCSMV promotes changes in the physiological status of its host by up- or downregulating the expression of host factors that directly interact with the viral proteins. This creates optimal conditions for PVX replication and movement, thereby enhancing its accumulation levels and pathogenesis. Our investigation is the first to supply detailed evidence of the pathogenesis-enhancing role of P1SCSMV, which provides a deeper understanding of the mechanisms behind virus–host interactions.
