What is it about?

Rice black-streaked dwarf virus (RBSDV) often causes severe losses to productions of rice, maize and other cereal crops. The mechanism of RBSDV infection in plant remains unknown. Here, we present evidence to show a novel strategy used by P5-1 of RBSDV to inhibit the ubiquitination activity of SCF E3 ligases through an interaction with OsCSN5A, and hinders the RUBylation\deRUBylation of CUL1, leading to an inhibition of JA response pathway and an enhancement of RBSDV infection in rice.

Why is it important?

Our findings show a novel strategy used by P5-1 of rice black streaked dwarf virus (RBSDV) to inhibit the ubiquitination activity of SCF E3 ligases, leading to an inhibition of JA response pathway and an enhancement of RBSDV infection in rice.

Perspectives

Writing this paper was a great pleasure as it has co-authors with whom I have had long standing collaborations. This article also lead to rice virus groups contacting me and ultimately to a greater involvement in rice virus research.
