    Antiviral RNA interference (RNAi) is conserved from yeasts to mammals. Dicer recognizes and cleaves virus-derived double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and/or structured single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) into small-interfering RNAs, which guide effector Argonaute to homologous viral RNAs for digestion and inhibit virus replication. Thus, Argonaute is believed to be essential for antiviral RNAi. Here, we show Argonaute-independent, Dicer-dependent antiviral defense against dsRNA viruses using Cryphonectria parasitica (chestnut blight fungus), which is a model filamentous ascomycetous fungus and hosts a variety of viruses. The fungus has two dicer-like genes (dcl1 and dcl2) and four argonaute-like genes (agl1 to agl4). We prepared a suite of single to quadruple agl knockout mutants with or without dcl disruption. We tested these mutants for antiviral activities against diverse dsRNA viruses and ssRNA viruses. Although both DCL2 and AGL2 worked as antiviral players against some RNA viruses, DCL2 without argonaute was sufficient to block the replication of other RNA viruses. Overall, these results indicate the existence of a Dicer-alone defense and different degrees of susceptibility to it among RNA viruses. We discuss what determines the great difference in susceptibility to the Dicer-only defense.

    It is extremely rare that a single virus crosses host barriers across multiple kingdoms. Based on phylogenetic and paleovirological analyses, it has previously been hypothesized that single members of the family Partitiviridae could cross multiple kingdoms. Partitiviridae accommodates members characterized by their simple bisegmented double-stranded RNA genome; asymptomatic infections of host organisms; the absence of an extracellular route for entry in nature; and collectively broad host range. Herein, we show the replicability of single fungal partitiviruses in three kingdoms of host organisms: Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. Betapartitiviruses of the phytopathogenic fungusRosellinia necatrix could replicate in protoplasts of the carrot (Daucus carota), Nicotiana benthamiana and Nicotiana tabacum, in some cases reaching a level detectable by agarose gel electrophoresis. Moreover, betapartitiviruses showed more robust replication than the tested alphapartitiviruses. One of the fungal betapartitiviruses, RnPV18, could persistently and stably infect carrot plants regenerated from virion-transfected protoplasts. Both alpha- and betapartitiviruses, although with different host preference, could replicate in two insect cell lines derived from the fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda and the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Our results indicate the replicability of single partitiviruses in members of three kingdoms and provide insights into virus adaptation, host jumping, and evolution.

    A capsidless (+)ssRNA virus YkV1 (family Yadokariviridae ) highjacks the capsid of an unrelated dsRNA virus YnV1 (proposed family “ Yadonushiviridae ”) in a phytopathogenic ascomycete, while YkV1 trans -enhances YnV1 replication. Herein, we identified the dsRNA virus partners of three yadokariviruses (YkV3, YkV4a, and YkV4b) with genome organization different from YkV1 as being different from YnV1 at the suborder level.

    High-throughput virome analyses with various fungi, from cultured or uncultured sources, have led to the discovery of diverse viruses with unique genome structures and even neo-lifestyles. Examples in the former category include splipalmiviruses and ambiviruses. Splipalmiviruses, related to yeast narnaviruses, have multiple positive-sense (+) single-stranded (ss) RNA genomic segments that separately encode the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase motifs, the hallmark of RNA viruses (members of the kingdom Orthornavirae). Ambiviruses appear to have an undivided ssRNA genome of 3∼5 kb with two large open reading frames (ORFs) separated by intergenic regions. Another narna-like virus group has two fully overlapping ORFs on both strands of a genomic segment that span more than 90% of the genome size. New virus lifestyles exhibited by mycoviruses include the yado-kari/yado-nushi nature characterized by the partnership between the (+)ssRNA yadokarivirus and an unrelated dsRNA virus (donor of the capsid for the former) and the hadaka nature of capsidless 10-11 segmented (+)ssRNA accessible by RNase in infected mycelial homogenates. Furthermore, dsRNA polymycoviruses with phylogenetic affinity to (+)ssRNA animal caliciviruses have been shown to be infectious as dsRNA-protein complexes or deproteinized naked dsRNA. Many previous phylogenetic gaps have been filled by recently discovered fungal and other viruses, which have provided interesting evolutionary insights. Phylogenetic analyses and the discovery of natural and experimental cross-kingdom infections suggest that horizontal virus transfer may have occurred and continue to occur between fungi and other kingdoms. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Phytopathology, Volume 60 is August 2022. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.

    ABSTRACT Plant‐fungus‐virus tripartite interactions represent complex ecological systems in which mutualistic endophytes can influence host physiology, yet the molecular basis of endophyte‐mediated defence remains poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that the endophytic fungus Penicillium pinophilum EU0013 suppresses the yellow strain of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV‐Y) in Solanum lycopersicum and Nicotiana benthamiana . CMV‐Y infection induced pronounced oxidative and hormonal perturbations, which were mitigated by P. pinophilum colonisation. Endophyte‐associated plants exhibited early accumulation of jasmonate intermediates, consistent with the activation of jasmonate signalling. This response promoted the degradation of jasmonate‐ZIM‐domain proteins and release of core JA‐responsive transcription factors. Virus‐induced gene silencing identified MYC2 as a key regulator required for endophyte‐mediated antiviral protection, with WRKY17 contributing to defence modulation. In parallel, transcriptome analysis revealed the upregulation of a Dicer‐like gene, indicating enhanced engagement of RNA silencing, a primary antiviral mechanism targeting viral RNA. This coordinated activation occurred alongside significant induction of pathogenesis‐related proteins, particularly PR9, and improved control of reactive oxygen species. Salicylic acid‐responsive defences showed a host‐modulated pattern, with PR1 induced by CMV and PR2/PR5 preferentially enhanced in endophyte‐associated plants. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that P. pinophilum enhances antiviral immunity through coordinated defence integration pathways, providing a framework for endophyte‐based viral disease management.

    A model plant, Nicotiana benthamiana, was examined as a host for persistent fungal viruses capable of crossing organismal kingdoms. Protoplasts of N. benthamiana were transfected with a mixture of virions of a betapartitivirus, Rosellinia necatrix partitivirus 18 (RnPV18), and an alphapartitivirus, RnPV19, and were then subjected to plantlet regeneration. Primary RT-PCR-based screening showed that nearly 100% of the resulting calli tested positive for RnPV18, whereas approximately 90% were positive for RnPV19. However, secondary screening performed at a later stage of tissue culture revealed that only 6% of the calli retained RnPV19, whereas approximately 33% retained RnPV18. These results suggest that the calli were chimeric, consisting of virus-infected and virus-free sectors, and that the partitiviruses were progressively lost during callus maintenance. It is also possible that these fungal partitiviruses were unable to fully adapt to, or counteract, host defense responses sufficiently to establish stable infection. We succeeded in obtaining RnPV18-positive calli and suspension cultures that maintained the virus at detectable levels, as shown by northern blotting, after prolonged subculture for at least 9 months. High-throughput small RNA analyses revealed both similarities and differences in virus-derived small RNA profiles among protoplasts, calli, and suspension cultures. Viral genome analyses further revealed developmental stage-specific and stage-independent substitutions compared with the RnPV18 genomic sequence maintained in the original fungal host. Interestingly, a C-to-U mutation in the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase-encoding region of RnPV18 was detected much more frequently in a particular line, designated B21, than in another stably RnPV18-infected line, P8, irrespective of whether the virus was maintained in suspension cultures or calli. This may explain why virus accumulation in B21 calli and suspension cultures was much lower than that in P8 cell cultures, as RNA-seq analyses showed 159 K counts per million for P8 versus 44 K counts per million for B21. Taken together, this study provides a platform for investigating partitiviruses and other ubiquitous persistent viruses, which are generally difficult to inoculate experimentally.

    Some fungal species in the genus Aspergillus are economically important due to their role in the production of liquors and various foods; however, their viromes, which may affect their performance, remain unexplored. Therefore, this study examined the viromes of nine strains of Aspergillus luchuensis (section Nigri), the black kōji mold used in the production of shochu (a traditional Japanese liquor) in Japan. It identified virus-like sequences related to alterna-, partiti-, curvula, botourmia-, narna-like, and umbra-like viruses. Some sequences appear to represent new variants (e.g., alterna- and gammapartitiviruses), while many others correspond to novel viral species within established or proposed mycoviral families. All A. luchuensis strains harbored multiple virus infections, with 2 to 7 viruses per strain. Three alternavirus strains with four-segmented double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) genomes were confirmed, along with minor variants co-present with the predominant strains. Notably, a gammapartitivirus appears to have two additional dsRNA genome segments, along with two satellite-like short dsRNA segments in some fungal isolates. Furthermore, at least five short RNAs (0.48-1.31 kb) were identified, three of which are possibly satellite-like RNAs associated with novel single-stranded RNA viruses (botourmia- and umbra-like viruses). These findings reveal the great diversity of mycoviruses in A. luchuensis populations and lay the foundation for further investigation into their impact on fungal phenotypes and liquor production.

    Abstract RNA silencing constitutes a fundamental antiviral defense mechanism in plants. Although its role in virus resistance has been extensively studied, the relationship between the dicing activity of Dicer—an essential enzyme in RNA silencing—and antiviral defense remains unclear. To address this knowledge gap, we previously established a simple in vitro dicing assay that enables the direct assessment of the activities of two Dicers, DCL3 and DCL4. We hypothesized that this assay could reveal how viral infection modulates DCL3 and DCL4 activities. Here, we report a negative correlation between NbDCL4 activity and symptom severity using the Nicotiana benthamiana–cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) system. We demonstrate that NbDCL4 activity is specifically suppressed in plants infected with highly virulent subgroup I (sg I) strains of CMV. In vitro dicing assays and small RNA sequencing analyses further reveal that NbDCL4 activity toward long double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) remains unaffected, whereas its activity toward shorter dsRNAs (~50 nt) is markedly inhibited in CMV(sg I)-infected plants. Subsequent analyses using a 2b-deficient disarmed mutant and a less virulent subgroup II strain of CMV indicate that this inhibition is mediated by the sg I 2b protein, a viral suppressor of RNA silencing. Taken together, these findings provide mechanistic insights into the molecular basis of CMV virulence, suggesting that the severe symptoms induced by highly virulent CMV strains are, at least in part, attributable to 2b-mediated inhibition of DCL4 activity.

    Dry bubble disease, attributed to the filamentous fungus Lecanicillium fungicola (Cordycipitaceae) results in huge yield losses in mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) cultivation worldwide. The possibilities for controlling the disease using commercial fungicides are highly limited, and therefore, there is an increasing demand for novel, alternative means of pest management. Our research objective was the comprehensive examination of viruses in the causal agents of dry bubble disease, which may open up an avenue for its virocontrol in the future. Out of 57 fungal isolates obtained from dry bubble-affected A. bisporus crops in various countries, 47 (82%) were confirmed by ITS (Internal Transcribed Spacer) sequence analysis as L. fungicola. In addition, different members of the genera Akanthomyces and Simplicillium (7 and 3 isolates, respectively), yet unknown to cause dry bubble symptoms, have also been detected. Cellulose column chromatography revealed the presence of double-stranded (ds) RNA in seven L. fungicola and three Akanthomyces sp. isolates, suggesting viral infection. The ten dsRNA-positive and eight randomly selected dsRNA-negative fungal strains were subjected to rRNA-depletion high-throughput RNA-sequencing analysis. The presence of seven new viruses representing four new species in the established families, Partitiviridae, Polymycoviridae, Botourmiaviridae and the narna-like virus group, and three previously established/proposed species in the families Chrysoviridae and "Mycovirgaviridae" were confirmed. The impact of the detected and identified viruses on their host fungi, and their potential applicability for virocontrol purposes will be examined in the future. This study provides the first detailed report on viruses of mushroom pathogenic fungi.

    Abstract Despite extensive exploration of fungal viromes (mycoviromes), the ecological roles of mycoviruses remain poorly understood. Hence, we investigated the virome of Leptosphaeria biglobosa (an important fungal pathogen of rapeseed) from different geographic origins to determine the impacts of external factors on virome composition and their role in fungal ecological adaptation. The viromes of different L. biglobosa groups were investigated, and viral diversity correlated positively with field disease incidence and host diversity, but negatively with the altitude of the strain collection sites. A positive single-stranded RNA virus, namely, Leptosphaeria biglobosa letobirnavirus 1 (LbLV1), one of the core virome members (predominant viruses that constitute the majority of the viral community), has a significantly high incidence in L. biglobosa populations in winter rapeseed in southern China but a low incidence in L. biglobosa populations in spring rapeseed in northern China. Further laboratory and field tests revealed that LbLV1 could increase the ability of L. biglobosa to oversummer at average temperatures ranging from 23°C to 34°C in the winter rapeseed region of China. Therefore, the variation in LbLV1 incidence between winter and spring rapeseed should be a consequence of LbLV1-mediated adaptation to climate and cropping patterns. Furthermore, one gene, namely Lbhsp12, significantly induced by the hypothetical protein of LbLV1, is responsible for LbLV1-mediated thermal tolerance. Our findings indicate that mycovirome composition reflects environmental constraints, and core viruses can drive ecological adaptation by modulating host stress responses.

    A new curvulavirid was isolated from a Japanese strain of the filamentous ascomycete Cryphonectria nitschkei and thoroughly characterized. The virus termed Cryphonectria nitschkei curvulavirus 1 (CnCvV1) has a bi-segmented dsRNA genome. CnCvV1 dsRNA1 encodes an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (592 amino acids), while dsRNA2 possesses two ORFs, one that encodes a protein associated with the genomic dsRNA and the other that encodes a hypothetical protein of unknown function. CnCvV1 could be experimentally introduced into another virus-free strain of C. nitschkei and two strains of different fungal species within the genus Cryphonectria ( Cryphonectria parasitica and Cryphonectria carpinicola ). Based on phenotypic comparison, the virus caused asymptomatic infection in the three newly established fungal strains. However, there was a reduced colony growth rate and increased CnCvV1 accumulation in an RNA silencing-deficient mutant (Δ dcl2 ), relative to the wt strain EP155 of a model virus host fungus ( C. parasitica ). These findings suggest that CnCvV1 is targeted by RNA silencing in C. parasitica . This study provides a foundation for further exploration of curvulavirids that have been biologically understudied.

    Abstract Mounting evidence indicates that viruses exploit elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels to promote replication and pathogenesis, yet the mechanistic underpinnings of this viral strategy remain elusive for many viral systems. This study uncovers a sophisticated viral counter‐defense mechanism in the Cryphonectria hypovirus 1 (CHV1)‐Fusarium graminearum system, where the viral p29 protein subverts host redox homeostasis to overcome antiviral responses. That p29 directly interacts with and inhibits the enzymatic activity of fungal NAD(P)H‐dependent FMN reductase 1 (FMR1), leading to increased ROS accumulation and subsequent autophagy activation is demonstrated. Strikingly, this ROS‐induced autophagy selectively targets for degradation two core antiviral RNA silencing components against CHV1 in F. graminearum, Dicer‐like 2 (DCL2) and Argonaute‐like 1 (AGL1), thereby compromising the host's primary antiviral defense system. Genetic analysis confirms this coordinated hijacking of host machineries, as CHV1 shows enhanced accumulation in the FMR1 knockout and reduced accumulation in autophagy‐deficient fungal strains. This work reveals a tripartite interplay among oxidative stress, autophagy, and RNA silencing that CHV1 manipulates through p29 multifunctional activity. These findings provide a model for how viruses coordinately regulate distinct host defense systems to optimize infection.

    The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) holds a ratification vote annually following the review of newly proposed taxa by ICTV Study Groups and members of the virology community. This article reports changes to the taxonomy of viruses infecting archaea that were approved and ratified by the ICTV in March 2025. Six new families of head-tailed viruses expanded the order Caudoviricetes (realm Duplodnaviria); one new family of filamentous viruses was added to the order Ligamenvirales (realm Adnaviria); one new family of viruses with pleomorphic virions was included within a new phylum, new order and new class in the kingdom Trapavirae (realm Monodnaviria); finally, three new families were created for spindle-shaped viruses that remain unassigned to higher level taxa. The 25 new species represent viruses infecting a broad range of archaea, including members of the classes Archaeoglobi, Bathyarchaeia, Methanobacteria, Methanomicrobia, Nitrososphaeria and Poseidoniia. Most of these viruses have been discovered by metagenomics in samples derived from diverse environments, including ambient and extreme marine ecosystems, the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals, anaerobic digesters and terrestrial hot springs. Following this taxonomic update, archaeal viruses are officially classified into a total of 163 virus species in 94 genera within 62 families.

    During the 56th annual meeting of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV), held in Bari, Italy, in August 2024, two technical proposals were presented. The first called for amended versions of accepted taxonomic proposals to be named in such a way to ensure that they are readily accessible on the ICTV website (2024.001G). The second proposed a substantial reformatting of the ICTV statutes and codes to produce a more unified text after the numerous changes made to both documents in previous years (2024.002G). Finally, the ICTV Executive Committee (EC) nominated Professor Stuart Siddell as a Life Member of the ICTV for his work over four decades on virus taxonomy, including 16 years as a member of the EC (2024.003G).

    The Fungal and Protist Viruses Subcommittee (SC) of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) has received a total of eight taxonomic proposals for the 2024 annual cycle. The extent of proposed changes varied, including nomenclatural updates, creation of new taxa and reorganization of established taxa. Following the ICTV procedures, all proposals were reviewed and voted upon by the members of the Executive Committee with ratification in March 2025. As a result, a total of 52 species in the families Botourmiaviridae and Marnaviridae were renamed to comply with the mandated binomial format. A new genus has been added to the dsRNA virus family Amalgaviridae, while two new families, Splipalmiviridae (Wolframvirales) and Mycoalphaviridae (Hepelivirales), were created to classify new groups of positive-sense (+) RNA mycoviruses. The class Arfiviricetes (Cressdnaviricota) was expanded by a new order Lineavirales and a new family Oomyviridae of ssDNA viruses. Additionally, a new class Orpoviricetes was created in the kingdom Orthornavirae to classify a group of bisegmented (+)RNA viruses reported from fungi and oomycetes. Finally, the order Pimascovirales was reorganized to better depict evolutionary relationships of pithoviruses and related viruses with large dsDNA genomes. The summary of updates in the taxonomy of fungal and protist viruses presented here is limited to taxa within the remit of this Subcommittee. For information on taxonomy changes on other fungal viruses closely related to animal and/or plant viruses, please see reports from sister ICTV Subcommittees (i.e. Plant Virus SC and Animal dsRNA and ssRNA(−) Viruses SC).

    In March 2025, following the annual International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) ratification vote, newly proposed taxa were added to those under the mandate of the Plant Viruses Subcommittee. In brief, 1 new order, 3 new families, 6 new genera, 2 new subgenera and 206 new species were created. Some taxa were reorganized. Genus Cytorhabdovirus in the family Rhabdoviridae was abolished and its taxa were redistributed into three new genera Alphacytorhabdovirus, Betacytorhabdovirus and Gammacytorhabdovirus. Genus Waikavirus in the family Secoviridae was reorganized into two subgenera (Actinidivirus and Ritunrivirus). One family and four previously unaffiliated genera were moved to the newly established order Tombendovirales. Twelve species not assigned to a genus were abolished. To comply with the ICTV mandate of a binomial format for virus species, eight species were renamed. Demarcation criteria in the absence of biological information were defined in the genus Ilarvirus (family Bromoviridae). This article presents the updated taxonomy put forth by the Plant Viruses Subcommittee and ratified by the ICTV.

    RNA viruses are ubiquitous in the environment and are important pathogens of humans, animals and plants. In 2024, the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses Animal dsRNA and ssRNA(−) Viruses Subcommittee submitted 18 taxonomic proposals for consideration. These proposals expanded the known virosphere by classifying 9 new genera and 88 species for newly detected virus genomes. Of note, newly established species expand the large family of Rhabdoviridae to 580 species. A new species in the family Arenaviridae includes a virus detected in Antarctic fish with a unique split nucleoprotein ORF. Additionally, four new species were established for historically isolated viruses with previously unsequenced genomes. Furthermore, three species were abolished due to incomplete genome sequence information, and one family was moved from being unassigned in the phylum Negarnaviricota into a subphylum and order. Herein, we summarize the 18 ratified taxonomic proposals and the general features of the current taxonomy, thereby supporting public and animal health responses.

    This article summarises the activities of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses Bacterial Viruses Subcommittee, detailing developments in the classification of bacterial viruses. We provide here an overview of all new, abolished, moved and renamed taxa proposed in 2024, approved by the Executive Committee, and ratified by membership vote in 2025. Through the collective efforts of 74 international contributors of taxonomy proposals in this round, 43 ratified proposals have led to the creation of one new phylum, one class, four orders, 33 families, 14 subfamilies, 194 genera and 995 species. These proposals mark significant progress in refining the taxonomy of bacterial viruses. Key updates include the creation of new orders and families that include existing taxa to better reflect genomic and evolutionary relationships. As sequencing and bioinformatics approaches continue to advance, further expansion and refinements in viral taxonomy can be anticipated in the coming years.

    Taxonomic classification of cellular organisms requires the publication of descriptions and proposed names of species and the deposition of specimens. Virus taxonomy is developed through a different system of annual submission of formal taxonomy proposals (TPs) that can be submitted by anyone but are typically prepared by a study group appointed by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) and consisting of experts on a particular group of viruses. These are initially evaluated by an expert subcommittee and by the executive committee (EC) of the ICTV. EC-approved TPs are then submitted for evaluation and a ratification vote by the wider ICTV membership. Following ratification, the new taxonomy is annually updated in the Master Species List, associated databases and bioinformatic resources. The process is consistent, creates traceability in assignments and supports a fully evaluated, hierarchical classification and nomenclature of all taxonomic ranks from species to realms. The structure also facilitates large-scale and coordinated changes to virus taxonomy, such as the recent introduction of a binomial species nomenclature. TPs are available on the ICTV website after ratification, but they are not indexed in bibliographic databases and are not easily cited. Authors of TPs do not receive citation credit for adopted proposals, and their voluntary contributions are largely invisible in the published literature. For greater visibility of TPs and their authors, the ICTV will commence the annual publication of summaries of all TPs from each ICTV subcommittee. These summaries will provide a searchable compendium of all annual taxonomy changes and additions as well as direct links to the Master Species List and other ICTV bioinformatic resources. Their publication will provide due credit and citations for their authors, form the basis for disseminating taxonomy decisions and promote greater visibility and accessibility to taxonomy changes for the virology community.

    ABSTRACT Virus taxonomy, comprising classification and nomenclature, is regulated by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV). Taxon names are standardized to facilitate recognition and communication, with defined suffixes for each rank (e.g., the names of orders, families, and genera end in -virales , - viridae, and -virus , respectively). However, until recently, a standard format for species names was lacking. In 2021, following extensive discussion and community consultation, the ICTV decided to adopt a standardized binomial (Linnaean) format for virus species names, consisting of the genus name followed by a “freeform” species epithet. Previously assigned virus species names that were non-compliant with the binomial format have been fully updated. In contrast to taxon names regulated by the ICTV, the names of viruses, or “common” names, such as yellow fever virus or human immunodeficiency virus, are not under the remit of the ICTV and have not been changed.

    Capsidless yadokariviruses (members of the order Yadokarivirales) with (+)RNA genomes divert the capsid of their partner icosahedral double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) viruses in different families of the order Ghabrivirales into the replication site. A yadokarivirus, AfSV2, has been reported from a German strain of the ascomycete fungus Aspergillus foetidus coinfected by two dsRNA viruses, a victorivirus (AfSV1, family Pseudototiviridae) and an alternavirus (AfFV, family Alternaviridae). Here, we identified AfSV1 as the partner of AfSV2 in a Japanese A. foetidus strain after showing the infectiousness of AfSV2 in three forms: virus particles (heterocapsid), transforming full-length complementary DNA (cDNA), and purified replicated form (RF) dsRNA that is believed to be inactive as a translational template. Virion transfection of virus-free A. foetidus protoplasts resulted in the generation of two strains infected either by AfSV1 alone or by both AfSV1 and AfSV2. Transformants with AfSV2 full-length cDNA launched AfSV2 infection only in the presence of AfSV1, but not those with AfSV2 RNA-directed RNA polymerase mutant cDNA. The purified fractions containing AfSV2 RF dsRNA also launched infection when transfected into protoplasts infected by AfSV1. Treatment with dsRNA-specific RNase III, but not with proteinase K, S1 nuclease, or DNase I, abolished the infectivity of AfSV2 RF dsRNA. Furthermore, we confirmed the infectiousness of gel-purified AfSV2 RF dsRNA in the presence of AfSV1. Taken together, our results show the unique infectious entity of AfSV2 and the expansion of yadokarivirus partners in the family Pseudototiviridae and provide interesting evolutionary insights.IMPORTANCEThe viral phylum Pisuviricota accommodates members with both double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and (+)RNA genomes. Some members of the second group display peculiar virus lifestyles. These include (+)RNA yadkariviruses, which are capsidless and highjack the capsid of their partner dsRNA viruses in the order Ghabrivirales of a different phylum Duplornaviricota. We identified the partner dsRNA virus (AfSV1, a victorivirus) of a yadokarivirus (AfSV2) from the ascomycete Aspergillus foetidus. AfSV2 is infectious in the presence of AfSV1 in three forms: purified particles, transforming full-length complementary DNA, and, surprisingly, the purified replicative form dsRNA. These combined results expand yadokarivirus partner viruses to the family Pseudototiviridae and provide evidence for AfSV2 as a unique infectious entity as well as interesting evolutionary insights.

    Transmission of plant viruses that replicate in the insect vector is known as persistent-propagative manner. However, it remains unclear whether such virus-vector relationships also occur between plant viruses and other biological vectors such as arthropod mites. In this study, we investigated the possible replication of orchid fleck virus (OFV), a segmented plant rhabdovirus, within its mite vector (Brevipalpus californicus s.l.) using quantitative RT-qPCR, western blotting and next-generation sequencing. Time-course RT-qPCR and western blot analyses showed an increasing OFV accumulation pattern in mites after virus acquisition. Since OFV genome expression requires the transcription of polyadenylated mRNAs, polyadenylated RNA fractions extracted from the viruliferous mite samples and OFV-infected plant leaves were used for RNA-seq analysis. In the mite and plant datasets, a large number of sequence reads were aligned to genomic regions of OFV RNA1 and RNA2 corresponding to transcribed viral gene mRNAs. This includes the short polyadenylated transcripts originating from the leader and trailer regions at the ends of the viral genome, which are believed to play a crucial role in viral transcription/replication. In contrast, a low number of reads were mapped to the non-transcribed regions (gene junctions). These results strongly suggested that OFV gene expression occurs both in mites and plants. Additionally, deep sequencing revealed the accumulation of OFV-derived small RNAs in mites, although their size profiles differ from those found in plants. Taken together, our results indicated that OFV replicates within a mite vector and is targeted by the RNA-silencing mechanism.

    Rhizopus microsporus is a species in the order Mucorales that is known to cause mucormycosis, but it is poorly understood as a host of viruses. Here, we examined 25 clinical strains of R. microsporus for viral infection with a conventional double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) assay using agarose gel electrophoresis (AGE) and the recently established fragmented and primer-ligated dsRNA sequencing (FLDS) protocol. By AGE, five virus-infected strains were detected. Then, full-length genomic sequences of 12 novel RNA viruses were revealed by FLDS, which were related to the families Mitoviridae, Narnaviridae, and Endornaviridae, ill-defined groups of single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) viruses with similarity to the established families Virgaviridae and Phasmaviridae, and the proposed family "Ambiguiviridae." All the characterized viruses, except a potential phasmavirid with a negative-sense RNA genome, had positive-sense RNA genomes. One virus belonged to a previously established species within the family Mitoviridae, whereas the other 11 viruses represented new species or even new genera. These results show that the fungal pathogen R. microsporus harbors diverse RNA viruses and extend our understanding of the diversity of RNA viruses in the fungal order Mucorales, division Mucoromycota. Identifying RNA viruses from clinical isolates of R. microsporus may expand the repertoire of natural therapeutic agents for mucormycosis in the future.IMPORTANCEThe diversity of mycoviruses in fungal hosts in the division Mucoromycota has been underestimated, mainly within the species Rhizopus microsporus. Only five positive-sense RNA genomes had previously been discovered in this species. Because current sequencing methods poorly complete the termini of genomes, we used fragmented and primer-ligated double-stranded RNA sequencing to acquire the full-length genomes. Eleven novel mycoviruses were detected in this study, including the first negative-sense RNA genome reported in R. microsporus. Our findings extend the understanding of the viral diversity in clinical strains of Mucoromycota, may provide insights into the pathogenesis and ecology of this fungus, and may offer therapeutic options.

    Rice sheath blight, caused by the soil-borne fungus Rhizoctonia solani (teleomorph: Thanatephorus cucumeris, Basidiomycota), is one of the most devastating phytopathogenic fungal diseases and causes yield loss. Here, we report on a very high prevalence (100%) of potential virus-associated double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) elements for a collection of 39 fungal strains of R. solani from the rice sheath blight samples from at least four major rice-growing areas in the Philippines and a reference isolate from the International Rice Research Institute, showing different colony phenotypes. Their dsRNA profiles suggested the presence of multiple viral infections among these Philippine R. solani populations. Using next-generation sequencing, the viral sequences of the three representative R. solani strains (Ilo-Rs-6, Tar-Rs-3, and Tar-Rs-5) from different rice-growing areas revealed the presence of at least 36 viruses or virus-like agents, with the Tar-Rs-3 strain harboring the largest number of viruses (at least 20 in total). These mycoviruses or their candidates are believed to have single-stranded RNA or dsRNA genomes and they belong to or are associated with the orders Martellivirales, Hepelivirales, Durnavirales, Cryppavirales, Ourlivirales, and Ghabrivirales based on their coding-complete RNA-dependent RNA polymerase sequences. The complete genome sequences of two novel RNA viruses belonging to the proposed family Phlegiviridae and family Mitoviridae were determined.

    The yadokari/yadonushi nature is a recently discovered virus lifestyle; "yadokari" refers to the ability of capsidless positive-sense (+) RNA viruses (yadokariviruses) to utilize the capsids of phylogenetically distant double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) viruses possibly as the replication site, while "yadonushi" refers to the ability of dsRNA viruses to provide capsids to yadokariviruses. This virus-virus interaction, however, has been only studied with limited pathosystems. Here, we established a new study model with a capsidless (+)RNA yadokarivirus YkV3 (family Yadokariviridae) and its capsid donor RnMBV3 (family Megabirnaviridae) in the original host fungus Rosellinia necatrix and a model filamentous fungal host Cryphonectria parasitica. YkV3 has a simple genome structure with one open reading frame of 4305 nucleotides encoding a single polyprotein with an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and a 2A-like self-cleavage peptide domain. Reverse genetics of YkV3 in R. necatrix showed that YkV3 tolerates a nucleotide substitution in the extreme 5'-terminus. The insertion of two termination codons immediately downstream of the 2A-like cleavage site abolished YkV3 viability, suggesting the importance of the C-terminal portion of the polyprotein of unknown function. Transfection of RnMBV3 and YkV3 into an RNA silencing-deficient mutant Δdcl2 of C. parasitica showed the replication competency of both viruses. Comparison between the wild-type and Δdcl2 strains of C. parasitica in virus accumulation suggested that RnMBV3 and YkV3 are susceptible to RNA silencing in C. parasitica. Taken together, we have established a platform to further explore the yadokari/yadonushi nature using genetically manipulable host fungal and virus strains.

    High-throughput sequencing technologies have greatly expanded the RNA virome in general and have led to an exponential increase in new fungal viruses, also known as mycoviruses. Mycoviruses are omnipresent in fungi and usually induce symptomless infections. Some mycoviruses infecting fungi pathogenic to plants, insects, and mammals are known to modify host virulence positively and negatively and attract particular interests. In addition, fungal viruses continue to provide intriguing research materials and themes that lead to discoveries of peculiar viruses as infectious entities and insights into virus evolution and diversity. In this review, we outline the diversity and neolifestyle of recently discovered fungal RNA viruses, and phenotypic alterations induced by them. Furthermore, we discuss recent advances in research regarding the fungal antiviral defense and viral counterdefense, which are closely associated with host phenotype alterations. We hope that this article will enhance understanding of the interesting and growing fungal virology field.

    Hypoviridae is a family of capsidless viruses with positive-sense RNA genomes of 7.3–18.3 kb that possess either a single large open reading frame (ORF) or two ORFs. The ORFs appear to be translated from genomic RNA by non-canonical mechanisms, i.e. internal ribosome entry site- and stop/restart translation. This family includes the genera Alphahypovirus, Betahypovirus, Gammahypovirus, Deltahypovirus, Epsilonhypovirus, Zetahypovirus, Thetahypovirus and Etahypovirus. Hypovirids have been detected in ascomycetous and basidiomycetous filamentous fungi and are considered to replicate in host, Golgi apparatus-derived, lipid vesicles that contain virus dsRNA as the replicative form. Some hypovirids induce hypovirulence to host fungi, while others do not. This is a summary of the ICTV report on the family Hypoviridae, which is available at www.ictv.global/report/hypoviridae.

    Abstract Here, we report the discovery and complete genome sequence of a novel virus, designated as “Phytophthora heveae alphaendornavirus 1” (PhAEV1), from a single isolate of the plant pathogenic oomycete Phytophthora heveae (kingdom Stramenipila) isolated from a tropical evergreen lowland rainforest in northern Vietnam. PhAEV1 was detected by both cellulose affinity chromatography of dsRNA and high-throughput sequencing of total RNA, and its presence and sequence were confirmed by RT-PCR and Sanger sequencing. The PhAEV1 genome, 12,820 nucleotides (nt) in length, was predicted to encode a single large polyprotein with the catalytic core domain of viral (superfamily 1) RNA helicase (HEL, amino acid [aa] positions 1,287-1,531), glycosyltransferase (GT, aa positions ca. 2,800-3,125), and RNA-directed RNA polymerase (RdRp, aa positions 3,875-4,112). PhAEV1 is the most similar to Phytophthora cactorum alphaendornavirus 3, sharing 39.4% and 39.1% nt and aa sequence identity, respectively. In addition to the first 5′-terminal AUG codon, three additional in-frame methionine codons were found in close proximity (nt 14-16, 96-98, and 176-178), suggesting potential additional translation initiation sites. Conserved RdRp motifs (A-E) similar to those detected in related endornaviruses were identified in PhAEV1, as well as in several previously described alphaendornaviruses from other Phytophthora species in which these motifs had not been identified previously. Phylogenetic analysis showed that PhAEV1 clusters with members of the genus Alphaendornavirus in the family Endornaviridae and is basal to two other alphaendornaviruses described from another oomycete, Phytophthora cactorum. PhAEV1 is the first virus reported in P. heveae.

    The taxonomy of viruses is developed and overseen by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV), which scrutinizes, approves and ratifies taxonomic proposals, and maintains a list of virus taxa with approved names (https://ictv.global). The ICTV has approximately 180 members who vote by simple majority. Taxon-specific Study Groups established by the ICTV have a combined membership of over 600 scientists from the wider virology community; they provide comprehensive expertise across the range of known viruses and are major contributors to the creation and evaluation of taxonomic proposals. Proposals can be submitted by anyone and will be considered by the ICTV irrespective of Study Group support. Thus, virus taxonomy is developed from within the virology community and realized by a democratic decision-making process. The ICTV upholds the distinction between a virus or replicating genetic element as a physical entity and the taxon category to which it is assigned. This is reflected by the nomenclature of the virus species taxon, which is now mandated by the ICTV to be in a binomial format (genus + species epithet) and is typographically distinct from the names of viruses. Classification of viruses below the rank of species (such as, genotypes or strains) is not within the remit of the ICTV. This article, authored by the ICTV Executive Committee, explains the principles of virus taxonomy and the organization, function, processes and resources of the ICTV, with the aim of encouraging greater understanding and interaction among the wider virology community.

When the GFP gene was inserted into the T-DNA plasmid, PTGS against the GFP gene was induced whereas TGS against the CaMV 35S promoter was suppressed. In other words, depending on the combination of promoter and coding sequences on T-DNA and the host nuclear genome, either or both TGS and/or PTGS could be induced by agroinfiltration. We also showed the importance of terminator sequences in T-DNA for gene silencing and the possible involvement of three siRNA-producing Dicers in the induction of TGS. These results are valuable for controlling gene expression by agroinfiltration.</jats:p>

    Many aphid-borne viruses are important pathogens that affect wheat crops worldwide. An aphid-transmitted closterovirus named wheat yellow leaf virus (WYLV) was found to have infected wheat plants in Japan in the 1970s; however, since then, its viral genome sequence and occurrence in the field have not been investigated. We observed yellowing leaves in the 2018/2019 winter wheat-growing season in an experimental field in Japan where WYLV was detected five decades ago. A virome analysis of those yellow leaf samples lead to the discovery of a closterovirus together with a luteovirus (barley yellow dwarf virus PAV variant IIIa). The complete genomic sequence of this closterovirus, named wheat closterovirus 1 isolate WL19a (WhCV1-WL19a), consisted of 15,452 nucleotides harboring nine open reading frames. Additionally, we identified another WhCV1 isolate, WL20, in a wheat sample from the winter wheat-growing season of 2019/2020. A transmission test indicated that WhCV1-WL20 was able to form typical filamentous particles and transmissible by oat bird-cherry aphid (Rhopalosiphum pad). Sequence and phylogenetic analyses showed that WhCV1 was distantly related to members of the genus Closterovirus (family Closteroviridae), suggesting that the virus represents a novel species in the genus. Furthermore, the characterization of WhCV1-WL19a-derived small RNAs using high-throughput sequencing revealed highly abundant 22-nt-class small RNAs potentially derived from the 3′-terminal end of the WhCV1 negative-strand genomic RNA, indicating that this terminal end of the WhCV1 genome is likely particularly targeted for the synthesis of viral small RNAs in wheat plants. Our results provide further knowledge on closterovirus diversity and pathogenicity and suggest that the impact of WhCV1 on wheat production warrants further investigations.

    A universal taxonomy of viruses is essential for a comprehensive view of the virus world and for communicating the complicated evolutionary relationships among viruses. However, there are major differences in the conceptualisation and approaches to virus classification and nomenclature among virologists, clinicians, agronomists, and other interested parties. Here, we provide recommendations to guide the construction of a coherent and comprehensive virus taxonomy, based on expert scientific consensus. Firstly, assignments of viruses should be congruent with the best attainable reconstruction of their evolutionary histories, i.e., taxa should be monophyletic. This fundamental principle for classification of viruses is currently included in the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) code only for the rank of species. Secondly, phenotypic and ecological properties of viruses may inform, but not override, evolutionary relatedness in the placement of ranks. Thirdly, alternative classifications that consider phenotypic attributes, such as being vector-borne (e.g., “arboviruses”), infecting a certain type of host (e.g., “mycoviruses,” “bacteriophages”) or displaying specific pathogenicity (e.g., “human immunodeficiency viruses”), may serve important clinical and regulatory purposes but often create polyphyletic categories that do not reflect evolutionary relationships. Nevertheless, such classifications ought to be maintained if they serve the needs of specific communities or play a practical clinical or regulatory role. However, they should not be considered or called taxonomies. Finally, while an evolution-based framework enables viruses discovered by metagenomics to be incorporated into the ICTV taxonomy, there are essential requirements for quality control of the sequence data used for these assignments. Combined, these four principles will enable future development and expansion of virus taxonomy as the true evolutionary diversity of viruses becomes apparent.

    The family Yadokariviridae, with the genera Alphayadokarivirus and Betayadokarivirus, includes capsidless non-segmented positive-sense (+) RNA viruses that hijack capsids from phylogenetically distant double-stranded RNA viruses. Yadokarivirids likely replicate inside the hijacked heterocapsids using their own RNA-directed RNA polymerase, mimicking dsRNA viruses despite their phylogenetic placement in a (+) RNA virus lineage. Yadokarivirids can have negative or positive impacts on their host fungi, through interactions with the capsid donor dsRNA viruses. This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) report on the family Yadokariviridae, which is available at ictv.global/report/yadokariviridae.

    Spinareoviridae is a large family of icosahedral viruses that are usually regarded as non-enveloped with segmented (9–12 linear segments) dsRNA genomes of 23–29 kbp. Spinareovirids have a broad host range, infecting animals, fungi and plants. Some have important pathogenic potential for humans (e.g. Colorado tick fever virus), livestock (e.g. avian orthoreoviruses), fish (e.g. aquareoviruses) and plants (e.g. rice ragged stunt virus and rice black streaked dwarf virus).

    Mycoviruses are widely distributed across the kingdom Fungi, including ascomycetous yeast strains of the class Saccharomycetes. Geotrichum candidum is an important fungal pathogen belonging to Saccharomycetes and has a diverse host range. Here, we report the characterization of four new classical totiviruses from two distinct Geotrichum candidum strains from Pakistan. The four identified viruses were tentatively named "Geotrichum candidum totivirus 1, 2, 3a, and 3b" (GcTV1-3b). The complete dsRNA genomes of the identified totiviruses are 4621, 4592, 4576, and 4576 bp in length, respectively. All totivirus genomes have two open reading frames, encoding a capsid protein (CP) and an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP), respectively. The downstream RdRP domain is assumed to be expressed as a CP-RdRP fusion product via -1 frameshifting mediated by a heptameric slippery site. Sequence comparisons and phylogenetic analysis showed that each of the discovered viruses belongs to a new species of the genus Totivirus in the family Totiviridae, with GcTV1 and GcTV3 (a and b strains) clustering in one subgroup and GcTV2 in another subgroup.

    A novel dsRNA virus (Cryphonectria carpinicola fusagravirus 1, CcFGV1), isolated from a Japanese strain (JS13) of Cryphonectria carpinicola, was thoroughly characterized. The biological comparison of a set of isogenic CcFGV1-infected and -free (JS13VF) strains indicated asymptomatic infection by CcFGV1. The sequence analysis showed that the virus has a two open reading frame (ORF) genome of 9.6 kbp with the RNA-directed RNA polymerase domain encoded by ORF2. The N-terminal sequencing and peptide mass fingerprinting showed an N-terminally processed or degraded product (150 kDa) of the 5'-proximal ORF1-encoded protein (1462 amino acids) to make up the CcFGV1 spherical particles of ~40 nm in diameter. Interestingly, a portion of CcFGV1 dsRNA co-fractionated with a host protein of 70 kDa. The purified CcFGV1 particles were used to transfect protoplasts of JS13VF as well as the standard strain of an experimental model filamentous fungal host Cryphonectria parasitica. CcFGV1 was confirmed to be associated with asymptomatic infection of both fungi. RNA silencing was shown to target the virus in C. parasitica, resulting in reduced CcFGV1 accumulation by comparing the CcFGV1 content between RNA silencing-competent and -deficient strains. These results indicate the transfectability of spherical particles of a fusagravirus associated with asymptomatic infection.

    Diplodia seriata in the family Botryosphaeriaceae is a cosmopolitan phytopathogenic fungus and is responsible for causing cankers, fruit rot and leaf spots on economically important plants. In this study, we characterized the virome of a single Pakistani strain (L3) of D. seriata. Several viral-like contig sequences were obtained via a previously conducted next-generation sequencing analysis. Multiple infection of the L3 strain by eight RNA mycoviruses was confirmed through RT-PCR using total RNA samples extracted from this strain; the entire genomes were determined via Sanger sequencing of RT-PCR and RACE clones. A BLAST search and phylogenetic analyses indicated that these eight mycoviruses belong to seven different viral families. Four identified mycoviruses belong to double-stranded RNA viral families, including Polymycoviridae, Chrysoviridae, Totiviridae and Partitiviridae, and the remaining four identified mycoviruses belong to single-stranded RNA viral families, i.e., Botourmiaviridae, and two previously proposed families “Ambiguiviridae” and “Splipalmiviridae”. Of the eight, five mycoviruses appear to represent new virus species. A morphological comparison of L3 and partially cured strain L3ht1 suggested that one or more of the three viruses belonging to Polymycoviridae, “Splipalmiviridae” and “Ambiguiviridae” are involved in the irregular colony phenotype of L3. To our knowledge, this is the first report of diverse virome characterization from D. seriata.

    The family Partitiviridae has five genera, among which is the genus Deltapartitivirus. We report here the complete genome sequence of a deltapartitivirus from red clover, termed "red clover cryptic virus 3" (RCCV3). RCCV3 has a bisegmented double-stranded (ds) RNA genome. dsRNA1 and dsRNA2 are 1580 and 1589 nucleotides (nt) in length and are predicted to encode an RNA-directed RNA polymerase (RdRP) and a capsid protein (CP), respectively. The RCCV3 RdRP shares the highest sequence identity with the RdRP of a previously reported deltapartitivirus, Medicago sativa deltapartitivirus 1 (MsDPV1) (76.5%), while the RCCV3 CP shows 50% sequence identity to the CP of MsDPV1. RdRP- and CP-based phylogenetic trees place RCCV3 into a clade of deltapartitiviruses. The sequence and phylogenetic analyses clearly indicate that RCCV3 represents a new species in the genus Deltapartitivirus. RCCV3 was detectable in all three tested cultivars of red clover.

    Abstract An increasing number of plant viruses and viroids have been reported from all over the world due largely to metavirogenomics approaches with technological innovation. Herein, the official changes of virus taxonomy, including the establishment of megataxonomy and amendments of the codes of virus classification and nomenclature, recently made by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses were summarized. The continued efforts of the plant virology community of Japan to index all plant viruses and viroids occurring in Japan, which represent 407 viruses, including 303 virus species and 104 unclassified viruses, and 25 viroids, including 20 species and 5 unclassified viroids, as of October 2021, were also introduced. These viruses and viroids are collectively classified into 81 genera within 26 families of 3 kingdoms (Shotokuvirae, Orthornavirae, Pararnavirae) across 2 realms (Monodnaviria and Riboviria). This review also overviewed how Japan’s plant virus/viroid studies have contributed to advance virus/viroid taxonomy.

    An extensive screening survey was conducted on Pakistani filamentous fungal isolates for the identification of viral infections. A total of 396 fungal samples were screened, of which 36 isolates were found double-stranded (ds) RNA positive with an overall frequency of 9% when analysed by a classical dsRNA isolation method. One of 36 dsRNA-positive strains, strain SP1 of a plant pathogenic fungus Fusarium mangiferae, was subjected to virome analysis. Next-generation sequencing and subsequent completion of the entire genome sequencing by a classical Sanger sequencing method showed the SP1 strain to be co-infected by 11 distinct viruses, at least seven of which should be described as new taxa at the species level according to the ICTV (International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses) species demarcation criteria. The newly identified F. mangiferae viruses (FmVs) include two partitivirids, one betapartitivirus (FmPV1) and one gammapartitivirus (FmPV2); six mitovirids, three unuamitovirus (FmMV2, FmMV4, FmMV6), one duamitovirus (FmMV5), and two unclassified mitovirids (FmMV1, FmMV3); and three botourmiavirids, two magoulivirus (FmBOV1, FmBOV3) and one scleroulivirus (FmBOV2). The number of coinfecting viruses is among the largest ones of fungal coinfections. Their molecular features are thoroughly described here. This represents the first large virus survey in the Indian sub-continent.

    Yellow mosaic disease in winter wheat is usually attributed to the infection by bymoviruses or furoviruses; however, there is still limited information on whether other viral agents are also associated with this disease. To investigate the wheat viromes associated with yellow mosaic disease, we carried out de novo RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analyses of symptomatic and asymptomatic wheat-leaf samples obtained from a field in Hokkaido, Japan, in 2018 and 2019. The analyses revealed the infection by a novel betaflexivirus, which tentatively named wheat virus Q (WVQ), together with wheat yellow mosaic virus (WYMV, a bymovirus) and northern cereal mosaic virus (a cytorhabdovirus). Basic local alignment search tool (BLAST) analyses showed that the WVQ strains (of which there are at least three) were related to the members of the genus Foveavirus in the subfamily Quinvirinae (family Betaflexiviridae). In the phylogenetic tree, they form a clade distant from that of the foveaviruses, suggesting that WVQ is a member of a novel genus in the Quinvirinae. Laboratory tests confirmed that WVQ, like WYMV, is potentially transmitted through the soil to wheat plants. WVQ was also found to infect rye plants grown in the same field. Moreover, WVQ-derived small interfering RNAs accumulated in the infected wheat plants, indicating that WVQ infection induces antiviral RNA silencing responses. Given its common coexistence with WYMV, the impact of WVQ infection on yellow mosaic disease in the field warrants detailed investigation.

    Small RNA (sRNA)-mediated gene silencing phenomena, exemplified by RNA interference (RNAi), require a unique class of proteins called Argonautes (AGOs). An AGO protein typically forms a protein-sRNA complex that contributes to gene silencing using the loaded sRNA as a specificity determinant. Here, we show that MoAGO2, one of the three AGO genes in the fungus Pyricularia oryzae (Magnaporthe oryzae) interferes with RNAi. Gene knockout (KO) studies revealed that MoAGO1 and MoAGO3 additively or redundantly played roles in hairpin RNA- and retrotransposon (MAGGY)-triggered RNAi while, surprisingly, the KO mutants of MoAGO2 (Δmoago2) showed elevated levels of gene silencing. Consistently, transcript levels of MAGGY and mycoviruses were drastically reduced in Δmoago2, supporting the idea that MoAGO2 impeded RNAi against the parasitic elements. Deep sequencing analysis revealed that repeat- and mycovirus-derived small interfering RNAs were mainly associated with MoAGO2 and MoAGO3, and their populations were very similar based on their size distribution patterns and positional base preference. Site-directed mutagenesis studies indicated that sRNA binding but not slicer activity of MoAGO2 was essential for the ability to diminish the efficacy of RNAi. Overall, these results suggest a possible interplay between distinct sRNA-mediated gene regulation pathways through a competition for sRNA.

    Endogenous non-retroviral RNA like sequences (NRVSs) have been discovered in the genome of a wide range of eukaryotes. These are considered as fossil RNA viral elements integrated into host genomes by as-yet-known mechanisms, and in many cases, those fossils are estimated to be millions-of-years-old. It is likely that the number of NRVS records will increase rapidly due to the growing availability of whole-genome sequences for many kinds of eukaryotes. Discovery of the novel NRVSs and understanding of their phylogenetic relationship with modern viral relatives provide important information on deep evolutionary history of RNA virus-host interactions. In this chapter, therefore, the common strategies for the identification and characterization of endogenous NRVSs from plants, insects, and fungi are described.

    Most of reported fungal viruses (mycoviruses) have double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) genomes. This may reflect the simple, easy method for mycovirus hunting that entails detection of dsRNAs as a sign of viral infections. There are an increasing number of screens of various fungi, particularly phytopathogenic fungi for viruses pathogenic to host fungi or able to confer hypovirulence to them. This bases on an attractive research field of biological control of fungal plant diseases using viruses (virocontrol), mainly targeting important phytopathogenic fungi. While isolated viruses usually induce asymptomatic symptoms, they show a considerably high level of diversity. As of 2014, fungal dsRNA viruses are classified into six families: Reoviridae, Totiviridae, Chrysoviridae, Partitiviridae, Megabirnaviridae and Quadriviridae. These exclude unassigned mycoviruses which will definitely be placed into distinct families and/or genera. In this review article, dsRNA viruses isolated from the kingdom Fungi including as-yet-unclassified taxa are overviewed. Some recent achievements in the related field are briefly introduced as well.

    Viruses are widespread in all major groups of fungi. The transmission of fungal viruses occurs intracellularly during cell division, sporogenesis, and cell fusion. They apparently lack an extracellular route for infection. Recent searches of the collections of field fungal isolates have detected an increasing number of novel viruses and lead to discoveries of novel genome organizations, expression strategies and virion structures. Those findings enhanced our understanding of virus diversity and evolution. The majority of fungal viruses have dsRNA genomes packaged in spherical particles, while ssRNA mycoviruses, possessing or lacking the ability to form particles, have increasingly been reported. This review article discusses the current status of mycovirus studies and virocontrol (biocontrol) of phytopathogenic fungi using viruses that infect them and reduce their virulence. Selected examples of virocontrol-associated systems include the chestnut/chestnut blight/hypovirus and fruit trees/white root rot fungus/mycoviruses. Natural dissemination and artificial introduction of hypovirulent fungal strains efficiently contributed to virocontrol of chestnut blight in European forests. Attempts to control white root rot with hypovirulence-conferring mycoviruses are now being made in Japan.

    We examined the effects of concentration methods, extraction buffers, clarification reagents, and resuspension buffers on virus yield and purity by using SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), so as to establish optimal purification procedures of zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV), watermelon mosaic virus 2 (WMV2) and the watermelon mosaic virus 1 strain of papaya ringspot virus (PRSV-W). We then investigated the physicochemical properties of the three viruses. SDS-PAGE proved very useful to monitor virus purification in a small scale. The three viruses were purified with similar yields of 5-10 mg per 100 g of infected pumpkin leaves by the respective optimal methods. The procedures basically involved clarification with Triton X-100, differential centrifugation using a 20% sucrose pad, and 20-50% sucrose density gradient centrifugation. From WMV2 and PRSV-W purified preparations, capsid protein (CP) of 34,000 (34K) was predominantly detected in addition to minor degradation products of 27K to 33K, respectively. A breakdown product of 28K was, however, as detectabel as intact CP of 33K from ZYMV purified preparation. The RNAs of WMV2 and PRSV-W, which were a little larger than ZYMV RNA, were indistinguishable in size as evaluated with 1.7% agarose gel electrophoresis in denaturing conditions.

    本研究代表らは構築したモデル糸状菌アカパンカビのウイルス感染系(Honda et al, Nature Comm, 2020)を用いて、宿主がウイルス感染に対して過剰に免疫応答することで、病気になることを発見した。本研究の目的は、この免疫暴走化に関わる「ウイルス認識機構とその下流因子」、免疫暴走の鍵となる「病的原因遺伝子」を同定し、その分子機序を解明することである。 これまでの解析により、アカパンカビのDICERであるDCL-2を欠損させると、免疫暴走化が抑制されて病気から回復することを見出している。この結果から、DCL-2が有するdsRNA結合部位がウイルスのゲノムdsRNAを認識し、下流の免疫暴走の鍵となる「病的原因遺伝子」の転写を活性化すると考えた。そこで、研究計画に沿って種々の機能変異DCL-2を有する形質変換株を作製し、解析を行った。その結果、DCL-2のdsRNA結合部位、及び、DICER活性が免疫暴走化に関与することを確認した。 また、クリ胴枯病菌ではSAGA複合体がウイルス応答遺伝子群の転写活性化に関与していることが報告されていることから(Andika et al, PNAS, 2017)、SAGA複合体を介する転写活性化と免疫暴走化の関係を調査した。その結果、DCL-2欠損と同様に、SAGA複合体の構成因子を欠損させると、免疫暴走化が抑制されることから、アカパンカビとクリ胴枯病菌に共通するウイルス応答機構の存在が示唆された。

    The objective of this project is to explore RNA silencing (RNAi) against fungal viruses in plant pathogenic filamentous fungi. A great progress has been made, leading to several breakthroughs: 1) Discovery of RNAi mediated antiviral defense that requires Dicer but not AGO in the chestnut blight fungus, 2) Identification of the SAGA complex as a transcriptional regulator of fungal RNA silencing, 3) Discovery of a novel antiviral defense mechanism by which virus-induced symptom expression is alleviated by transcriptional upregulation of many host genes upon virus infection in C. parasitica, and 4) Identification of Dicer and SAGA (universal transcriptional coactivator) as the key transcriptional regulators in the new defense, indicating the dual role of Dicer at the post-transcriptional and transcriptional levels. These findings will bring about a paradigm shift in RNAi. Fungi are now being established as the third position next to animals and plants in antiviral defense research.

    We have established a new academic field, designated as ‘Neo-virology’, in which we define a virus as a component of the global ecosystem and aim to elucidate its key roles in host organisms and the global ecosystem. We have constructed a system to support research activities, facilitate collaborations among research groups, develop human resources, plan and manage scientific meetings, and support public relations activities, all of which have resulted in accelerating this new field of research. Our efforts have produced numerous noteworthy publications and have helped develop many young investigators, who will continue the growth of Neo-Virology into the future.

    The objective of this project is to establish two neo-lifestyles of fungal viruses and explore their generality and ecological significance. First, we have proved the yadokari/ yadonushi nature in Japanese strains of Rosellinia necatrix and revealed its molecular basis. Capsidless yadokari virus 1 (YkV1) highjacks the capsid of yadnushi virus 1 (YnV1) to replicate in the heterocapsid using its own RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, while in return YkV1 trans-enhances the replication of YnV1. For the hadaka nature, we have shown that hadaka virus 1 (HadV1) from a Pakistani strain of Fusarium oxysporum exists as a capsidless naked form at least in mycelial homogenates that is accessible by RNase A and unable to be pelleted by untracentrifugation. While the yadonushi/yadokari nature has been observed not only foreign fungal strains but also in plants,the hadaka nature has also been detected in other filamentous fungi, suggesting suggesting the generality of the two viral neo-lifestyles.

    果樹白紋羽病菌のウイルスハンティングの過程で、ユニークなウイルス/ウイルス間相互作用を発見した。本菌から得られるウイルス精製画分からは、ヤドヌシウイルス(YnV1), ヤドカリウイルス(YkV1)が検出された。YnV1は非分節型dsRNAウイルスで、 キャプシド蛋白質(CP)とRNA合 成酵素(RdRp)をコードする。YkV1は RdRpドメインとプロテアーゼドメインをコードするプラス(+ )1本鎖RNAウイルスである。 具体的に下記の項目を実施し、「ヤドカリウイルスYkV1の宿借性]のコンセプトの確立に努めた。 1) 昨年作成したYkV1 RdRp GDDモティーフの変異株をさらに増やし、同様の解析を進め、「宿借性」にYkV1 RdRpが必須であることを確認した。 2) 昨年合成した6つの2A様プロテアーゼ変異株に加え、さらに6つの変異をYkV1感染性cDNA上で変異を導入し、感染性の有無とプロテアーゼ活性を調べた。その結果、バキュロウイルスを用いた昆虫細胞内でのプロテアーゼ活性と宿主菌でのウイルス複製能が一致した。すなわち、プロテアーゼ活性を消失した変異株は、白紋羽病菌での複製能も消失した。興味深いことに、弱いプロテアーゼ活性を有する変異株は、長期間維持すると2A様プロテアーゼが野生型に復帰したウイルス株が出現した。以上の結果は、YkV1の複製には、RdRp領域がポリプロテインから切断される必要があることを強く示唆する。 3) YkV1/YnV1感染株から塩化セシウム平衡密度勾配遠心法により、粒子を分画した結果、それぞれ単独で粒子化されていることを示唆するデータを得た。

    The identification of mycoviruses contributes greatly to understanding of the diversity and evolutionary aspects of viruses. However, virus discovery in obligate biotrophs such as powdery mildews (ascomycetes) and rust fungi (basidiomycetes) is still very limited. In this study, we used a deep sequencing approach to analyze the double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) segments isolated from field-collected samples of powdery mildew fungus-infected red clover plants in Japan. Database searches identified the presence of at least nine novel totivirus (genus Totivirus) in this fungus. Similar totvirus-like sequences are found in public transcriptome shotgun assembly (TSA) libraries of the bean rust fungi. Our data suggests that the horizontal transmission of ancestral totiviruses might have occurred across quite different fungal phyla, between powdery mildews and rust fungi and later evolved within the new host fungus separately.

    Mitoviruses are a unique group of mitochondrially replicating viruses with positive-sense, single stranded RNA genomes. Among them is Cryphonectria mitovirus 1 (CpMV1) which infects one of the three most destructive tree pathogens, chestnut blight fungus. This pathosystem involves two host/parasite interactions (chestnut vs. chestnut blight fungus) and chestnut blight fungus vs. CpMV1). This study represents the first example in which the host range, lateral transmissibility, symptom expression and counter-defense mechanism of a mitovirus was thoroughly analyzed.

    The objective of this project is to explore RNA silencing (RNAi) as the antiviral innate defense against fungal viruses in plant pathogenic filamentous fungi. Consequently, a great progress has been made, leading to breakthroughs: 1) Discovery of RNAi mediated antiviral defense that requires Dicer but not AGO in Cryphonectria parasitica, 2) Detection of inhibitory effects on RNA silencing activities against RNA and DNA viruses, and transgenes in Pyricularia oryzae, 3) Development of a screening protocol for host factors required for virus perception through transcription induction of key genes of RNAi upon virus infection in C. parasitica, 4) Identification of the SAGA complex as a transcriptional regulator of fungal RNA silencing. These findings will bring about a paradigm shift in RNAi. Fungi are now established as the third position next to animals and plants in antiviral defense research. Note that most of the obtained data were published in international, high-quality journals.

    Endogenous non-retroviral RNA virus-like sequences (NRVSs) have been discovered in the genome of the vertebrates and other eukaryotes. These are considered as fossil RNA viral elements integrated into host genomes by as-yet-known mechanisms. In this study, several novel NRVSs from the genome of the plants, insects and fungi were discovered. The presence of benyvirus-like sequences in the chickpea chromosomes is a second example of plant NRVSs related to positive-sense (+)ssRNA viruses. Benyvirus-related sequences were also found in the chromosomes of blood-sucking insect. In addition, the first (-)RNA virus infection in fungus was evidenced based on a discovery of mononegavirus L-like sequences in the genome of the powdery mildew fungus. Our findings may provide novel insights into the origin and evolution of ssRNA viruses. The possible endogenization process of these NRVSs into the genome and its biological significance on the host were discussed.

    As a model system for genetics, biochemistry or developmental biology, Neurospora crassa has greater advantages over any other filamentous fungi due to its even short life cycle time, ease of crossing, and well-established tools and resources represented by a number of gene knockout strains available from the Fungal Genetics Stock Center. This study aimed at screening of previously reported fungal viruses for N. crassa-infectious viruses. We confirmed that N. crassa supports the replication of two heterologous viruses, mycoreovirus 1 (MyRV1) and Rosellinia necatrix partitivirus 2 (RnPV2) from other ascomycetes, Cryphonectrial parasitica and R. necatrix. The two viruses could be maintained not only in the wild-type strain but also RNA silencing defective mutants of N. crassa. It is now being investigated what effects of deletions of RNA silencing-related genes on virus replication are, and how these genes respond to virus infection.

    Orchid fleck virus(OFV), a unique two-segmented negative-sense RNA virus, induces an intranuclear electron-lucent viroplasm(inclusion) in infected plant cells. We studied the molecular mechanism by which OFV viroplasms are produced in vivo. Transiently expression examinations by Agrobacterium-infiltration reveled that coexpression of nucleocapsid protein N and the putative phosphoprotein P, in the absence of virus infection, was sufficient for the formation of an intranuclear electron-lucent viroplasm-like structure in Nicotiana benthamiana cells.

    Post transcriptional gene silencing(PTGS), first discovered in plants independently as cosuppresion and RNA-mediated virus resistance, is a sequence-specific RNA degradation system which is now believed to be ubiquitous in eukaryotic organisms from fungi to mammals. Double-stranded RNA is key molecules triggering PTGS and being digested by RNaseIII type nuclease to 22-25 nucleotides (siRNA, a hall mark of PTGS) which guide RISC (RNA inducing silencing complex, AGO family member being a major component) to target RNA and lead to the degradation of the RNA. PTGS is conceptualized as an anti-virus host defense mechanism by several lines of evidence. As its counterattack strategy plant and animal viruses as well encode PTGS suppressors which seem to act in different ways. Most of them are derived from positive and negative strand RNA or DNA viruses. Here in this project dsRNA viruses were subjected to anti-PTGS activity assay in a filamentous fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica (the chestnut blight fungus) and animal. Proteins tested included those encoded by the prototype hypovirus, CHV1-EP713, two plant reoviruses, dicot plant-infecting wound tumor virus(WTV) and monocot plant-infecting rice dwarf virus(RDV), the latter two of witch are also insect (animal)-infecting. 1)Some RNA silencing suppressors are known to enhance replication of heterologous viruses. Here suppressive activities of candidate proteins of different virus origins were evaluated based on the levels of MYRV1, a member of a newly established genus within the family Reoviridae. By this assay the papain-like proteinase p29 derived from the prototype hypovirus (CHV1), was shown to elevate the replication and vertical transmission levels of MYRV1, indicative the RNA silencing suppressive activity of p29, while no such activity by p40 of CHV1, reported to augment the homologous virus replication, was not found. Viral proteins encoded by plant- and insect-infecting reoviruses, i.e., rice dwarf phytoreovirus and wound tumor virus were tested. However, no elevation of MYRV1 replication was found by those proteins. 2)Trangenic C parasitica lines silenced for Hygromycin resistance gene(HygR) were attempted to be generated. To this end, C parasitica spheroplasts were transformed with HygR under the control of constitutive promoter. Resulting transgenic lines were doubly transformed with an inverted repeat of HygR with an intron spacer. Out of more than 200 independent transformants, approximately 10-20 showed Hyg succeptible, probably because of RNA silecing triggered by the dsRNA form of HygR. These isolates were being used for RNA silencing suppressor assay in which the candidate proteins as above are examined for the ability to reverting their phenotype to HygR.

    イネ萎縮ウイルスはファイトレオウイルスんい属するウイルスで、12本の文節2本鎖RNAをゲノムに持つ。昨年全ゲノムの構造解析が完了し(植物レオウイルスとしては最初である)、各ゲノムが4塩基の末端保存配列、逆反復配列、単一のORFから構成されることが示された。末端保存配列、逆反復配列の末端配列ドメインはゲノムセグメントの粒子への詰め込みと複製・転写に関与することが示唆されているが、明らかとなっていない。本研究では末端保存配列と相互作用するであろうウイルス蛋白質、宿主蛋白質の同定、さらにそれら蛋白質と相互作用するシス配列の同定を最終目的に、RNA合成活性を持つRDVコア粒子の再構成を試みた。 RDVのコア粒子を構成する蛋白質遺伝子全て(S1、S3、S5 S7)を昆虫(夜盗蛾)細胞、Spodoptera frugiperdaで発現させることに成功した。さらに疑似コア粒子と考えられる構造物の部分精製も行った。但し、現在までのところ、この構造物のRNA合成活性は確認されていない。今後、コア粒子様構造物の精製法、鋳型導入法等の検討を要する。 研究過程でRDV複製に関与するであろう酵素について興味深い発見をした。以下に記す。これまで、P2、P5はアウタ-レイヤー蛋白質と考えられていたが、昨年度の奨励研究Aによりマイナ-コア蛋白質をコードすることが明らかとなった。本研究によりこのP5がGTPと共有結合することが示された。P5はmRNA転写の際のキャッピング酵素、すなわちグアニル酸転移酵素あるることが示唆された。また、P5はGTPのほかにATP,UTPとの結合活性を持っていた。この活性はこれまで報告されているグアニル酸転移酵素とは大きく異なる性質である。ATP,UTP,GTPの結合サイトは同じか?、ATP,UTP結合能の生物学的意義は何か?等、今後の大きな検討課題である。

    1)他の植物レオウイルスで得られた過去の結果と予備実験の結果から、S2、S5がウイルス粒子表面に存在する蛋白質(P2、P5)をコードすること、さらにこれらがウイルス精製過程で脱落するすることが示唆された。まず、これをP2、P5に対する抗体を用いて証明した。 RDV S2(一部)、S5(完全長)のcDNAをそれぞれ夜盗蛾培養細胞中で発現させた。P2のカルボキシル基末端半分(60 kDa)と89kDaのP5の大量発現が確認された。これらのRDV由来の蛋白質をウサギに免疫し、抗血清を得た。免疫電顕法を用いてこれらの抗体と粒子との反応性を調べた結果、P2血清は粒子と反応したが、P5血清は反応しなかった。次にウエスタン法を用いて精製粒子、精製コア(内殻)粒子との反応性を調べた。P2血清は精製粒子中の130 kD蛋白質と反応したが、コア粒子中には反応する蛋白質は検出されなかった。一方、P5血清は精製粒子中の89kDマイナ-蛋白質と反応した。また、この蛋白質はP5抗体によってコア粒子からも微量検出された。 これらの結果から、P2は予想された通り粒子の外殻粒子に存在するがP5については外殻蛋白質ではなく内殻粒子を構成する微量成分であることが明らかになった。S5については従来S2と同様に外殻蛋白質をコードすると考えられてきた。しかし、興味深いことにコア蛋白質をコードすることが証明された。植物レオウイルスの中で遺伝子-産物の全ての対応が明らかとなったのはRDVが初めてであり、世界的に評価されうる大きな成果である。 従って、P2とこれまでに外殻蛋白質と同定されているP8がヨコバイ培養細胞感染性を支配することが示唆された。 2)ヨコバイ培養細胞株の樹立。 木村の方法(1987年)によってツマグロヨコバイ卵細胞の株化を試みた。初代培養には成功したが、安定継代株はえられていない。 今後、安定なヨコバイ培養細胞株を樹立し、P2・P8抗体を用いたRDVの感染中和試験を行う必要がある。また、RDVS2コードのP2を完全な状態で組み換えバキュロウイルス発現夜盗蛾細胞から精製し、その精製P2を用いて完全粒子の再構成系を確立する必要がある。
