The members of the genus <italic>Tospovirus</italic> infect a wide range of vegetable, fruit, ornamental and field crops and cause severe economic losses throughout India and elsewhere [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR30">30</xref>]. Therefore, these viruses are of major economic importance in the world.</p><p>The genus tospovirus includes viruses with enveloped quasi-spherical particles of 80-120 nm diameter and tripartite single-stranded RNA genomes with negative or ambisense polarity. The genomes are tightly associated with the nucleocapsid (N) protein and a few copies of the L protein [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>]. The three genomic RNA species, large (L), medium (M) and small (S), are of approximate size 8.9, 4.8 and 2.9 kb, respectively. The L RNA codes for RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) in the virion complementary sense [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">1</xref>]. The non-structural proteins NSm and NSs are encoded in the virion sense, whereas the precursor for the glycoproteins Gn and Gc and the N protein are encoded in the complementary sense by the M and S RNA, respectively [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR38">38</xref>].</p><p>N proteins of negative-strand RNA viruses play a vital role in the life cycle of the virus and are multifunctional. The major structural component of the virion is the N protein, and it binds to genomic and antigenomic RNAs along their entire length and forms ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes. These complexes serve as templates for viral RNA replication and transcription [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR18">18</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR34">34</xref>]. The N protein has been shown to interact with viral RdRP and display RNA chaperone activity [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR25">25</xref>]. In addition, it also can replace the cellular eIF4F complex, thereby ensuring efficient translation of viral mRNA [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR26">26</xref>]. In addition to the viral-encoded proteins, the N protein is also known to interact with host proteins and interfere with different cellular pathways during the life cycle of the virus [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR24">24</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR29">29</xref>].</p><p>The N proteins of hantaviruses have a conserved central domain (residues 136-213) that contains a large cluster of basic residues (15 positive charges) that is involved in RNA binding. However, the number of nucleotides that bind to each N protein is variable [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR18">18</xref>]. The oligomeric status of the N protein in members of the family <italic>Bunyaviridae</italic> has not been well studied. This protein is predominantly trimeric in the hantaviruses, and the interaction between subunits has been shown to be mediated by packing of N-terminal coiled coils of adjacent subunits [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR18">18</xref>]. Analysis of the trimeric N protein by cryo-electron microscopy has confirmed this observation [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR18">18</xref>].</p><p>The N protein of tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), the type member of the genus <italic>Tospovirus</italic>, has been characterized earlier. It binds to single-stranded RNA in a non-sequence-specific manner, but not to double-stranded RNA [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR34">34</xref>]. However, compared to the N protein of hantaviruses, the TSWV N protein is much smaller, and the RNA-binding domain has not been clearly defined. It has been shown to interact homotypically <italic>in vitro</italic> and <italic>in vivo</italic> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR37">37</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR38">38</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR42">42</xref>]. The TSWV N protein exists as multimers or aggregates of increasing molecular mass. Analysis of deletion and site-specific mutants of TSWV N protein has revealed that the subunits can interact in a head-to-tail manner, and two conserved phenylalanine residues (F242 and F246) are crucial for this interaction [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR42">42</xref>]. Apart from its homotypic interaction, the TSWV N protein is known to interact with viral glycoproteins and is proposed to be involved in viral particle assembly in the Golgi [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR33">33</xref>]. It also interacts with NSm and aids in the cell-to-cell movement of RNP complexes [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR39">39</xref>]. The three-dimensional structure of the N protein has not been described so far for any member of the genus <italic>Tospovirus</italic>.</p><p>GBNV (also called peanut bud necrosis virus) belongs to serogroup IV of the genus <italic>Tospovirus</italic> and is the most prevalent virus among the tospoviruses reported from the Indian subcontinent [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR35">35</xref>]. The complete genomic sequence of GBNV L, M, and S RNA was determined earlier [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR35">35</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR36">36</xref>]. With a view to understanding the virus life cycle at the molecular level, a strain of GBNV infecting tomato in Karnataka state in India, GBNV- To (K), was purified and characterized. The N gene of GBNV was cloned, overexpressed and purified. The purified recombinant N protein was used for the generation of monoclonal antibodies [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref>]. Recently, the NSs protein of this virus was characterized and shown to possess ATPase and 5′ phosphatase activities [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR23">23</xref>]. The N protein of GBNV shares only 29% amino acid identity with that of TSWV [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR35">35</xref>], the type member of the genus, and therefore, there is an obvious need for specific characterization of the GBNV N protein.</p><p>In the present paper, the characterization of the N protein of a serogroup IV virus, GBNV, is described for the first time.

There was an additional broad peak that eluted late in the run and had a high absorbance at 260 nm. However, when this fraction was analysed by western blot analysis, it did not show the presence of an N-protein-specific band. These results suggest that the purified N protein existed as a heterogeneous mixture of monomers, tetramers and higher-order oligomers. Furthermore, the absorbance at 260 nm was higher than that at 280 nm, indicating that the N protein might be associated with nucleic acids. To confirm the presence of nucleic acid, the protein was further analysed on a 0.6% agarose gel.

As no conserved RNA-binding motifs have been identified for tospoviruses, to map the domain of the N protein that specifically interacts with RNA, the presence of nucleic acid in the purified wild-type N protein and its truncated forms was initially monitored by spectrophotometric analysis of A<sub>260 / 280</sub> ratios. For wild-type N protein, the ratio ranged between 1.8 and 1.9, and for the N∆20, N∆40 and C∆15 N proteins, it ranged between 1.2 and 1.7, suggesting the presence of nucleic acid. However, for C∆37, it was 0.7 to 0.8, indicating that the protein was not associated with nucleic acid. Furthermore, the amount of RNA bound to the full-length N protein and its truncated forms was quantitated after extraction of the RNA with TRI Reagent (Table <xref rid="Tab2" ref-type="table">2</xref>). Full-length N protein contained 19.5 ± 0.5 μg of RNA in 100 μg of the protein, whereas the amount of RNA present was reduced by approximately 3-fold upon deletion of 20 amino acids from the N-terminus or 15 amino acids from the C-terminus. When 40 amino acid residues from the N terminus were removed, the amount of RNA associated with the protein was reduced by approximately 6-fold. As expected, no RNA was detected with the C∆37 N protein. Thus, the capacity of the N protein to bind nucleic acid was completely lost upon removal of the unfolded region of the N protein comprising 37 residues from the C-terminus. This suggested that the C-terminal unfolded region (which also contains 46% of the residues predicted to interact with RNA) might play a major role in RNA binding. The location of an RNA-binding domain in the N proteins of negative-strand RNA viruses is variable. Xu <italic>et al.</italic> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR44">44</xref>] mapped a specific RNA-binding domain to a central conserved region comprising residues 175 to 217 of the hantavirus N protein. Multiple regions of RNA binding have been observed for the TSWV N protein [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR34">34</xref>] and for the influenza virus N protein [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR7">7</xref>]. It may be noted that even in GBNV, apart from the C-terminal region, the deletion of the N-terminal 40 amino acid residues also affected the protein-nucleic acid interaction. It is possible that the loss of protein-nucleic acid interaction in this mutant is because of the altered structure of the mutant protein. Involvement of disordered regions in RNA binding has also been reported for the N protein of SARS corona virus, a positive-strand RNA virus [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">4</xref>]. Bioinformatic analysis shows that the C-terminal unfolded region is conserved across N proteins of serogroup IV tospoviruses and might be involved in genome encapsidation.<table-wrap id="Tab2"><label>Table 2</label><caption><p>Amount of RNA present (in μg) per 100 μg of the N protein and its truncated forms</p></caption><table frame="hsides" rules="groups"><tbody><tr><td align="left">N protein wild type</td><td char="±" align="char">19.5 ± 0.5</td></tr><tr><td align="left">N ∆ 20</td><td char="±" align="char">6.6 ± 0.3</td></tr><tr><td align="left">N ∆ 40</td><td char="±" align="char">3.3 ± 0.2</td></tr><tr><td align="left">C ∆ 15</td><td char="±" align="char">6.2 ± 0.2</td></tr><tr><td align="left">C ∆ 37</td><td char="±" align="char">0.0</td></tr></tbody></table></table-wrap></p><p>To determine the nature of the RNA and the stoichiometry of the N-RNA association, we next analysed the extracted nucleic acid from the full-length N protein RNP complex on a 2% native agarose gel along with RNA size markers of low range. The majority of the RNAs migrated within the 50-80-nucleotide size range and some RNA species migrated at around 80-150 nucleotides (Fig. <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref>b). Taking into account that the majority of the N protein exists as a tetramer (Fig. <xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">3</xref>d), and taking the average length of the RNA species as 50 nucleotides, 12-13 nucleotides might bind per N monomer. N/RNA stoichiometry has been shown to vary between 6 and 24 nt in negative-strand RNA viruses [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR2">2</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR27">27</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR43">43</xref>].

As shown in Fig. <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref>a, lane 1, the N protein was phosphorylated by the kinase(s) present in the soluble fraction of <italic>N. benthamiana</italic> plant sap. Two negative controls were run in every experiment. In one of these, γ<sup>32</sup>P ATP was added to the purified N protein in the absence of plant sap, which did not result in labeling of the N protein (Fig. <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref>a, lane 2), suggesting that the N protein by itself does not bind to radiolabeled ATP. In the other control, the plant sap alone was incubated with γ<sup>32</sup>P ATP, and no specific bands were observed, suggesting that none of the host proteins present in the sap were phosphorylated (Fig. <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref>a, lane 3). The gel was stained with Coomassie blue to estimate the amount of protein loaded and the molecular mass of the protein (Fig. <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref>a, lane 4).<fig id="Fig5"><label>Fig. 5</label><caption><p><italic>In vitro</italic> phosphorylation of GBNV N protein. <bold>a</bold> Phosphorylation of the N protein (5 μg) was carried out by mixing γ<sup>32</sup>P ATP (1 μCi) and the soluble fraction of tobacco plant sap in 25 mM HEPES buffer, pH 7.2, containing 2 mM MnCl<sub>2</sub>, incubation for 30 min at 30°C, and analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Furthermore, when the reaction was carried out in the absence of MnCl<sub>2</sub>, the phosphorylation was abolished, confirming the requirement for metal ions (Fig. <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref>b, lane 1). Therefore, the specificity of the metal ion required for the phosphorylation of the N protein was tested by the addition of increasing concentrations of MnCl<sub>2</sub> (Fig. <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref>b, lanes 2-4), MgCl<sub>2</sub> (Fig. <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref>b, lanes 5-7), and CaCl<sub>2</sub> (Fig. <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref>b, lanes 8-10). As is apparent from the figure, the plant protein kinase that phosphorylates the N protein shows a preference for Mn<sup>2+</sup> over Mg<sup>2+</sup>, and no detectable band could be seen with Ca<sup>2+</sup>. The Coomassie-stained gel confirmed that the effect observed was not due to variation in the amount of N protein used in the reaction. Similar observations have been made for a plant protein kinase that phosphorylates PVA coat protein and TMV movement protein [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">16</xref>]. Protein kinases that belong to the CK2 class have a unique ability to utilize both ATP and GTP as phosphoryl group donors [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR28">28</xref>]. The soluble fraction of <italic>N. benthamiana</italic> plant sap that was used for phosphorylation of the N protein was tested for its ability to utilize GTP instead of ATP. As shown in Fig. <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref>c, the protein kinase present in the fraction could utilize GTP as phoshphoryl group donor equally well (Fig. <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref>c, lane 4), and even in this case, Mn<sup>2+</sup> was the preferred metal ion (Fig. <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref>c, compare lane 4 with 5 and 6). Based on these data, we speculated that the protein kinase present in tobacco plant sap that phosphorylates the N protein could be a CK2-like kinase. Heparin, an inhibitor of CK2 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">14</xref>], reduced the phosphorylation of the N protein by 30% but failed to abolish phosphorylation of the protein completely (Supplementary Fig. 3), suggesting that apart from CK2, there may be other kinases present in the tobacco plant sap that also phosphorylate the protein. To test whether the N protein acts as a substrate for more than one kinase, the phosphorylation reaction was carried out with purified recombinant kinases, viz., tobacco CK2 or chickpea CDPK. It was observed that the N protein could be phosphorylated by both of these kinases. As shown in Fig. <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref>d, the N protein could be phosphorylated by purified CK2 (Fig. <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref>d, lane 3), whereas BSA used as negative control was not phosphorylated (Fig. <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref>d, lane 5), and histone H1 (positive control) was phosphorylated (Fig. <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref>d, lane 6). In addition to the phosphorylated histone H1 protein (35 kDa), two more bands were observed, suggesting the presence of contaminant proteins that are also phosphorylated. When a similar experiment was performed with purified CDPK, the N protein as well as the histone H1 protein were phosphorylated (Fig. <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref>e, lanes 3 and 5, respectively) and BSA used as a negative control was not phosphorylated (Fig. <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref>e, lane 6). It has been demonstrated that CDPKs are components of the defence pathways that are induced upon pathogen attack [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR22">22</xref>]. It is possible that phosphorylation of the N protein by CDPK is an early response to viral infection. Furthermore, the N protein can be phosphorylated by more than one kinase. Phosphorylation of a viral protein by multiple kinases is not uncommon. Surjit <italic>et al.</italic> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR41">41</xref>] reported that the nucleocapsid protein of SARS corona virus acts as a substrate for cyclin-dependent kinase, glycogen synthase kinase, mitogen-activated kinase and casein kinase 2. Human influenza virus NS1 protein gets phosphorylated by members of the cyclin-dependent kinase and extracellular signal-regulated kinase families [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref>].</p><p>Protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation is a significant regulatory mechanism in a wide range of cellular processes (reviewed in ref. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>]). In some viruses, like rubella virus and potato virus A, phosphorylation of the capsid or coat protein is known to regulate its RNA-binding activity and has an impact on virus replication and the infection process [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">16</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR17">17</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR21">21</xref>]. Phosphorylation of SARS coronavirus N protein modulates its multimerization, translation inhibitory activity and subcellular localization [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR31">31</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR41">41</xref>]. In infectious bronchitis virus, phosphorylation of the N protein is involved in distinguishing viral RNA from non viral RNAs [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR40">40</xref>]. In yet another case, in measles virus, phosphorylation of the nucleoprotein is important for activation of transcription of viral mRNA and/or replication of the genome <italic>in vivo</italic> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>]. It is possible that phosphorylation of the GBNV N protein regulates its self-association and helps it to distinguish viral RNA from non-viral RNAs, which is an essential process in encapsidation. Phosphorylation may also regulate the subcellular localization of the protein and may act as a regulatory switch between the processes of transcription and translation.</p><p>The results presented in this paper clearly demonstrate that the GBNV N protein, like the N proteins of other negative-strand RNA viruses, has an intrinsic ability to bind to RNA. Such an association with RNA would be essential for encapsidation of viral genomes. Furthermore, the N protein interacts with the RNA via a conserved RNA-binding domain present in the C-terminal unfolded region of the protein. Such specific interactions and the regulation of the N protein by phosphorylation would be necessary for eliciting its multiple functions at different stages of the viral life cycle, such as replication, assembly and movement. Future studies in this direction could lead to a better understanding of the role of the N protein in the life cycle of GBNV at the molecular level.</p></sec></sec><sec sec-type="supplementary-material"><title>Electronic supplementary material</title><sec id="SecESM1"><p>Below is the link to the electronic supplementary material.
