Viral infection commonly induces autophagy,leading to antiviral responses or conversely,promoting viral infection or replication.In this study,using the experimental plant Nicotiana benthamiana,we demonstrated that the rice stripe virus(RSV)coat protein(CP)enhanced autophagic activity through interaction with cytosolic glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 2(GAPC2),a negative regulator of plant autophagy that binds to an autophagy key factor,autophagy-related protein 3(ATG3).Competitive pull-down and co-immunoprecipitation(Co-IP)assays showed that RSV CP activated autophagy by disrupting the interaction between GAPC2 and ATG3.An RSV CP mutant that was unable to bind GAPC2 failed to disrupt the interaction between GAPC2 and ATG3 and therefore lost its ability to induce autophagy.RSV CP enhanced the autophagic degradation of a viral movement protein(MP)encoded by a heterologous virus,citrus leaf blotch virus(CLBV).However,the autophagic degradation of RSV-encoded MP and RNA-silencing suppressor(NS3)proteins was inhibited in the presence of CP,suggesting that RSV CP can protect MP and NS3 against autophagic degradation.Moreover,in the presence of MP,RSV CP could induce the autophagic degradation of a remorin protein(NbREM1),which negatively regulates RSV infection through the inhibition of viral cell-to-cell movement.Overall,our results suggest that RSV CP induces a selective autophagy to suppress the antiviral factors while protecting RSV-encoded viral proteins against autophagic degradation through an as-yet-unknown mechanism.This study showed that RSV CP plays dual roles in the autophagy-related interaction between plants and viruses.
The glycerol electro-oxidation reaction(GEOR)is a green and promising method for the glyceraldehyde production.In this work,Pd nanocrystals(Pd-NCs)modified ultrathin NiO nanoplates(NiO-uNPs)hybrids(Pd-NCs/NiO-uNPs)are successfully synthesized using successive cyanogel hydrolysis,chemical reduction,and calcination treatment methods.Various electrochemical measurements and physicochemical characterization results demonstrate that Pd-NCs/NiO-uNPs hybrids have excellent electrocatalytic performance for both GEOR and hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)in alkaline medium,which benefit from the large specific surface area,uniform distribution of Pd-NCs,and the modified electronic structure of Ni atoms.At Pd-NCs/NiO-uNPs hybrids,only 1.43 V is needed to obtain the current density of 100 mA∙cm^(−2) for GEOR,much lower than that for oxygen evolution reaction(1.82 V).In addition,Pd-NCs/NiO-uNPs hybrids exhibit better HER performance than commercial Pd/C electrocatalyst.As a result,the constructed Pd-NCs/NiO-uNPs||Pd-NCs/NiO-uNPs glycerol electrolyzer only requires 1.62 V electrolysis voltage to reach 10 mA∙cm^(−2) current density,showing an energy-efficient and economy-competitive synthesis for the coproduction of glyceraldehyde and hydrogen.
