The Ophioviridae is a family of filamentous plant viruses, with single-stranded negative, and possibly ambisense, RNA genomes of 11.3–12.5 kb divided into 3–4 segments, each encapsidated separately. Virions are naked filamentous nucleocapsids, forming kinked circles of at least two different contour lengths. The sole genus, Ophiovirus, includes seven species. Four ophioviruses are soil-transmitted and their natural hosts include trees, shrubs, vegetables and bulbous or corm-forming ornamentals, both monocots and dicots. This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the taxonomy of the Ophioviridae, which is available at http://www.ictv.global/report/ophioviridae.

This chapter focuses on Ophioviridae family whose sole member genus is Ophiovirus. The member species of the genus include Citrus psorosis virus (CPsV), Freesia sneak virus(FreSV), Lettuce ring necrosis virus (LRNV), and Mirafiori lettuce big-vein virus (MiLBVV).The single stranded negative/possibly ambisense RNA genome is divided into 3–4 segments, each of which is encapsidated in a single coat protein (43–50 kDa) forming filamentous virions of about 3 nm in diameter, in shape of kinked or probably internally coiled circles of at least two different contour lengths. Ophioviruses can be mechanically transmitted to a limited range of test plants, inducing local lesions and systemic mottle. The natural hosts of CPsV, ranunculus white mottle virus (RWMV), MiLBVV, and LRNV are dicotyledonous plants of widely differing taxonomy. CPsV has a wide geographical distribution in citrus in the Americas, in the Mediterranean and in New Zealand. FreSV has been reported in two species of the family Ranunculacae from Northern Italy, and in lettuce in France and Germany. Tulip mild mottle mosaic virus (TMMMV) has been reported in tulips in Japan. LRNV is closely associated with lettuce ring necrosis disease in The Netherlands, Belgium, and France, and FreSV has been reported in Europe, Africa, North America and New Zealand.

Abel, S.; Theologis, A.; Odyssey of Auxin Cold Spring Harb. Perspect. Biol. 2, a004572, (2010) DOI: 10.1101/cshperspect.a004572

The history of plant biology is inexorably intertwined with the conception and discovery of auxin, followed by the many decades of research to comprehend its action during growth and development. Growth responses to auxin are complex and require the coordination of auxin production, transport, and perception. In this overview of past auxin research, we limit our discourse to the mechanism of auxin action. We attempt to trace the almost epic voyage from the birth of the hormonal concept in plants to the recent crystallographic studies that resolved the TIR1-auxin receptor complex, the first structural model of a plant hormone receptor. The century-long endeavor is a beautiful illustration of the power of scientific reasoning and human intuition, but it also brings to light the fact that decisive progress is made when new technologies emerge and disciplines unite.

Morgan, K. E.; Zarembinski, T. I.; Theologis, A.; Abel, S.; Biochemical characterization of recombinant polypeptides corresponding to the predicted βαα fold in Aux/IAA proteins FEBS Lett. 454, 283-287, (1999) DOI: 10.1016/S0014-5793(99)00819-4

The plant hormone indoleacetic acid (IAA or auxin) transcriptionally activates a select set of early genes. The Auxl IAA class of early auxin-responsive genes encodes a large family of short-lived, nuclear proteins. Aux/IAA polypeptides homo-and heterodimerize, and interact with auxin-response transcription factors (ARFs) via C-terminal regions conserved in both protein families. This shared region contains a predicted βαα motif similar to the prokaryotic β-Ribbon DNA binding domain, which mediates both protein dimerization and DNA recognition. Here, we show by circular dichroism spectroscopy and by chemical cross-linking experiments that recombinant peptides corresponding to the predicted βαα region of three Aux/IAA proteins from Arabidopsis thaliana contain substantial α-helical secondary structure and undergo homo- and heterotypic interactions in vitro. Our results indicate a similar biochemical function of the plant βαα domain and suggest that the βαα fold plays an important role in mediating combinatorial interactions of Aux/IAA and ARF proteins to specifically regulate secondary gene expression in response to auxin.

Wong, L. M.; Abel, S.; Shen, N.; de la Foata, M.; Mall, Y.; Theologis, A.; Differential activation of the primary auxin response genes, PS-IAA4/5 and PS-IAA6, during early plant development Plant J. 9, 587-599, (1996) DOI: 10.1046/j.1365-313X.1996.9050587.x

The plant growth hormone auxin typified by indoleacetic acid (IAA) transcriptionally activates early genes in pea, PS‐IAA4/5 and PS‐IAA6 , that are members of a multigene family encoding short‐lived nuclear proteins. To gain first insight into the biological role of PS‐IAA4/5 and PSIAA6 , promoter‐β‐glucuronidase (GUS) gene fusions were constructed and their expression during early development of transgenic tobacco seedlings was examined. The comparative analysis reveals spatial and temporal expression patterns of both genes that correlate with cells, tissues, and developmental processes known to be affected by auxin. GUS activity in seedlings of both transgenic lines is located in the root meristem, sites of lateral root initiation and in hypocotyls undergoing rapid elongation. In addition, mutually exclusive cell‐specific expression is evident. For instance, PS‐IAA4/5—GUS but not PS‐IAA6—GUS is expressed in root vascular tissue and in guard cells, whereas only PS‐IAA6—GUS activity is detectable in glandular trichomes and redistributes to the elongating side of the hypocotyl upon gravitropic stimulation. Expression of PS‐IAA4/5 and PS‐IAA6 in elongating, dividing, and differentiating cell types indicates multiple functions during development. The common and yet distinct activity patterns of both genes suggest a combinatorial code of spatio‐temporal co‐expression of the various PS‐IAA4/ 5‐like gene family members in plant development that may mediate cell‐specific responses to auxin.

Abel, S.; Ballas, N.; Wong, L.-M.; Theologis, A.; DNA elements responsive to auxin BioEssays 18, 647-654, (1996) DOI: 10.1002/bies.950180808

Genes induced by the plant hormone auxin are probably involved in the execution of vital cellular functions and developmental processes. Experimental approaches designed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of auxin action have focused on auxin perception, genetic dissection of the signaling apparatus and specific gene activation. Auxin‐responsive promoter elements of early genes provide molecular tools for probing auxin signaling in reverse. Functional analysis of several auxin‐specific promoters of unrelated early genes suggests combinatorial utilization of both conserved and variable elements. These elements are arranged into autonomous domains and the combination of such modules generates uniquely composed promoters. Modular promoters allow for auxin‐mediated transcriptional responses to be revealed in a tissue‐ and development‐specific manner.

Abel, S.; Nguyen, M. D.; Theologis, A.; The PS-IAA4/5-like Family of Early Auxin-inducible mRNAs in Arabidopsis thaliana J. Mol. Biol. 251, 533-549, (1995) DOI: 10.1006/jmbi.1995.0454

The plant hormone auxin transcriptionally activates early genes. We have isolated a 14-member family of DNA sequences complementary to indoleacetic acid (IAA)-inducible transcripts inArabidopsis thaliana. The corresponding genes, IAA1 and IAA14, are homologs of PS-1AA4/5 and PS-IAA6 from pea, AUX22 and AUX28 from soybean, ARG3 and ARG4from mungbean, and AtAux2-11 and AtAux2-27 from Arabidopsis. The members of the family are differentially expressed in mature Arabidopsis plants. Characterization of IAA gene expression in etiolated seedlings demonstrates specificity for auxin inducibility. The response of most family members to IAA is rapid (within 4 to 30 minutes) and insensitive to cyclohexamide. Cyclohexamide alone induces all the early genes. Auxin-induction of two late genes, IAA7 and IAA8, is inhibited by cyclohexamide, indicating requirement of protein synthesis for their activation. All IAA genes display a biphasic dose response that is optimal at 10 μM IAA. However, individual genes respond differentially between 10 nM and 5μM IAA. Expression of all genes is defective in the Arabidopsis auxin-resistant mutant lines axr1, axr2, and aux1.The encoded polypeptides share four conserved domains, and seven invariant residues in the intervening regions. The spaces vary considerably in length, rendering the calculated molecular mass of IAA proteins to range from 19 kDa to 36 kDa. Overall sequence identity between members of the family is highly variable (36 to 87%). Their most significant structural features are functional nuclear transport signals, and a putative βαα-fold whose modeled three dimensional structure appears to be compatible with the prokaryotic β-ribbon DNA recognition motif. The data suggest that auxin induces in a differential and hierarchical fashion a large family of early genes that encode a structurally diverse class of nuclear proteins. These proteins are proposed to mediate tissue-specific and cell-type restricted responses to the hormone during plant growth and development.
