Abstract
Yellow mosaic disease (YMD) of pulses caused by mungbean yellow mosaic virus is a major threat to crop production. An infection that is compatible with regulating and interacting host proteins and the virus causes YMD. Oberon families of proteins OBE1-4 and VIN1-4 are imperative for plants, functions in meristem and vascular development, and were also regulated during compatible disease infection. Furthermore, in-silico expression results suggested the involvement of OBE1 and OBE2 proteins during virus infection of Vigna, Arabidopsis and soybean. Moreover, a common ancestor for the meristem and virus movement related Oberons was inferred through phylogenetic analysis. Protein interaction studies showed three amino acids (Aspartate, glutamate and lysine) in the plant homeodomain (PHD), involved in interaction with the N-terminal region of the virus movement protein and were also conserved in both monocot and dicots. Additionally, major differences in the nuclear localization signal (NLS) showing clade specific conservation and significant variation between dicots and monocots were ascertained in meristem and virus movement related Oberons. Consequently, a combination of PHD, CCD and their interactions with the VPg viral domain increases the susceptibility to YMD. Further, modification in the NLS regions of the viral movement clade Oberons, to knock out allele generation in the OBE1 and OBE2 homologs through genome-editing approaches could be established as alternate strategies for the improvement of host resistance and control yellow mosaic disease in plants, especially in pulse crops.
