Palmitoylation Is Indispensable for Remorin to Restrict Tobacco Mosaic Virus Cell-to-Cell Movement in Nicotiana benthamiana

Remorin (REM) is a plant-specific plasma membrane-associated protein regulating plasmodesmata plasticity and restricting viral cell-to-cell movement. Here, we show that palmitoylation is broadly present in group 1 remorin proteins in and is crucial for plasma membrane localization and accumulation....

Description
Summary:Remorin (REM) is a plant-specific plasma membrane-associated protein regulating plasmodesmata plasticity and restricting viral cell-to-cell movement. Here, we show that palmitoylation is broadly present in group 1 remorin proteins in and is crucial for plasma membrane localization and accumulation. By screening the four members of group 1 remorin proteins, we found that only NbREM1.5 could significantly hamper tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) cell-to-cell movement. We further showed that NbREM1.5 interacts with the movement protein of TMV in vivo and interferes with its function of expanding the plasmodesmata size exclusion limit. We also demonstrated that palmitoylation is indispensable for NbREM1.5 to hamper plasmodesmata permeability and inhibit TMV cell-to-cell movement.
