Virus-encoded movement proteins (MPs) mediate
cell-to-cell spread of viral RNA through plant membranous intercellular
connections, the plasmodesmata. The molecular pathway by which MPs
interact with viral genomes and target plasmodesmata channels is
largely unknown. The 9-kDa MP from carnation mottle carmovirus (CarMV) contains two potential transmembrane domains. To explore the
possibility that this protein is in fact an intrinsic membrane protein,
we have investigated its insertion into the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. By using in vitro translation in the presence of
dog pancreas microsomes, we demonstrate that CarMV p9 inserts into the
endoplasmic reticulum without the aid of any additional viral or plant
host components. We further show that the membrane topology of CarMV p9
is Ncyt-Ccyt (N and C termini of the
protein facing the cytoplasm) by in vitro translation of a
series of truncated and full-length constructs with engineered
glycosylation sites. Based on these results, we propose a topological
model in which CarMV p9 is anchored in the membrane with its N- and
C-terminal tail segments interacting with its soluble, RNA-bound
partner CarMV p7, to accomplish the viral cell-to-cell movement function.
