Вірус мозаїки сої (ВМС) передається насінням і може спричиняти значні зниження врожаїв та якості насіння рослин сої (Glycine max). Ступінь насіннєвої передачі різних ізолятів ВМС складає 0–43 %. Питання про те, які саме гени ВМС задіяні у процесі насіннєвої передачі його ізолятів досі залишається відкритим. Філогенетичних досліджень для українських ізолятів ВМС, які передаються насінням, не проводилось. Мета. Провести філогенетичний аналіз гена CP ізоляту ВМС, який передається насінням. Методи.

Introduction Fourteen of 35 economically important vi- ruses and viroid species are aphid-transmitted and, among these, ten belong to the potyvi- ruses [1]. In this list Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) is present too. The SMV seed transmission rate is 0-43%.

Shcherbatenko through seed is dependent upon the strain of virus analyzed, the genotype of the host and the time of infection [2-4]. Recent studies [5] showed that SMV transmission occurs via infection of embryo. But it was also revealed that SMV is present in all seed parts: seed coat, radicle and cotyledon — 23%, 18% and 33%, respectively. For the virus to be transmitted through seed, it must infect embryos and sur- vive during seed germination. The genetics of viruse seed transmission has not been studied enough. It is known that the hosts resistance to the seed transmission of BSMV is controlled by a single recessive gene. In contrast, the seed transmission of PSbMV and Alfalfa mosaic virus is controlled by multiple genes in a quantitative manner. The study on the viral and host determinants of the strain-specific transmission of SMV through seed has started only recently. So, it was revealed that the CP sequences are re- quired for the transmission of SMV through seed [3]. The highest nucleotide divergence is noted for the P1 gene (involved in host adaptation) of potyviruses and the P3 gene (experimentally verified as the SMV virulence determinants with the HC-Pro and CI pro- teins) [6-7]. In contrast, the CP gene of SMV, like many other potyviruses, is more conser- vative [6, 8-10]. But recently it was shown that SMV is highly replicated in the develop- ing seed. Several single nucleotide variations (SNVs) in different regions of genome of the seed-transmitted SMV were found [11]. Moreover, it was found that only a single- amino-acid change near the C terminus of the CP of certain SMV strains led to the impos- sibility to seed transmission [3] that testifies to the involving of the CP gene sequences into theseed transmission of Soybean mosaic virus. So, the aim of the study was to perform phylogenetic analysis of the CP gene region of the Ukrainian seed-transmitted SMV isolate. Materials and methods Molecular analyzes Total RNA was extracted from fresh leaves using Genomic DNA purification kit (Thermo Scientific, USA) following the manufacturer’s instructions. Two step RT-PCR was performed. The re- verse transcription was performed using RevertAid Reverse Transcriptase — geneti- cally modified MMuLV RT (Thermo Scientific, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instruc- tions. Specific oligonucleotide primers to part of SMV CP gene were used: SMV-CPf: 5’-CAAGCAGCAAAGATGTAAATG-3’) and SMV-CPr: 5’-GTCCATATCTAGGCATA- TACG-3’ [12]. DNA product 469 bp was am- plified. Amplification of the part of SMV CP gene was performed in 12.5 µl of Dream Taq PCR Master Mix (2x) buffer (containing Dream Taq DNA polymerase, 2X Dream Taq buffer, 0.4 mM of each dNTP and 4 mM of MgCl2), 7.5 µl nuclease-free water, 1 µl of each primer (10 µM), and 3 µl of cDNA. The temperature regime for amplification reactions was as follows: initial denaturation for 3 min at 95 °C, followed by 35 cycles of 95 °C for 30 s, 55 °C for 30 s, and 72 °C for 30 s. The final extension was at 72 °C for 10 min. PCR products were separated on a 1.5% agarose gel with DNA markers MassRuler DNA Ladder Mix ready-to-use (SM 0403, Thermo Scientific, USA). 231 Phylogenetic analysis of Ukrainian seed-transmitted isolate of Soybean mosaic virus The PCR products were purified from the agarose gel using a QIAquick Gel Extraction Kit (Qiagen, Great Britain) following the man- ufacturer’s instructions. Sequencing of the purified amplified DNA fragments carried out with the 3130 Genetic Analyzer (Applied Biosystems, USA). Phylogenetic analysis The CP gene sequences of the Ukrainian SMV isolate were compared with the SMV sequences in the NCBI database using the BLAST program. SMV isolates used in this study are presented in Table 1. Nucleotide and amino acid sequences were aligned using Clustul W in MEGA 7 [13]. Phylogenetic trees for the part of SMV coat protein gene were constructed by the maximum-likelihood meth- od (ML) [14] using the best-fitting evolution- ary models. To check the reliability of the constructed trees, the bootstrap test with 1000 bootstrap replications was used. Aligned CP amino acid sequences were visualized and compared using BioEdit sequence alignment editor. Synonymous/nonsynonymous (dN/dS) muta- tion ratio calculations. To calculate the dN/dS ratio, an indicator of the evolutionary direc- tion, the CP nucleotide sequences of all SMV isolates were codon-aligned. The ratio of the rate of nonsynonymous (dN) to the rate of synonymous (dS) mutations was calculated using the Nei-Gojoboori method in the SNAP program [15]. Results and Discussion Phylogenetic analysis was performed for SMV isolated from soybean plants cv. Kordoba (Sumy region) named as SKS-18. The rate of seed transmission of SKS-18 was determined as 3.3% that was shown by us earlier [16]. Nucleotide (nt) and amino acid (aa) sequence, 430 nt of the CP gene region of the seed- transmitted SMV isolate SKS-18, localized at the genomic position 8640-9069, was com- pared with the sequences of 33 SMV isolates/ strains from GenBank (Tabl.1). It has been established that the 430 nt region of the CP gene of SKS-18 has nucleotide se- quence identity from 98.8% to 89.8%, that is from 5 to 44 nucleotide substitutions. According to the nt sequence of the studied region of the CP gene, the isolate SKS-18 has the highest percentage of identity (98.8%, 4 nt substitutions) with Iranian isolates Ar33 and Lo3, American isolate VA2, as well as Ukrainian isolate UA1Gr. SKS-18 has a high identity with other isolates studied in China — XFQ014 (98.6%) and HB-S19 (97.6%), Poland — M (98.6%), Iran — Go11 (98.4%) and in USA — the strain 1083 (97.9%), which are 6, 10, 6, 7 and 9 nucleotide substitutions, respectively (Table 1). The phylogenetic tree presented in the Fig. 1a is fully consistent with the data in Table 1 -the isolate SKS-18 is located in one cluster with isolates of the highest nucleotide identity: Ar33 and Lo3, VA2, UA1Gr, XFQ014, HB- S19, M, Go11 strain 1083, as well as strain C, the isolate SV-15. Unlike nucleotide, the vast majority of isolates (29 out of 33) are com- pletely identical with each other by amino acid sequences. Only G7A, G7, G6H have 1 aa substitution, G7d and SKS-18 have two aa substitutions (Fig. 1b, Table 1). Classification of strains/isolates of SMV is rather complicated. In the United States Cho and Goodman (1979) 98 SMV isolates are 232 L. T. Mishchenko, A. A. Dunich, I. S. Shcherbatenko Table 1.

In addition to the difference in symptom sever- ity, the SMV strains G1 through G7 also differ in the efficiency with which they are transmit- ted. The same differential system was also utilized in Korea, resulting in additional SMV strains such as G5H, G6H, and G7H identified. In Japan and China, however, different sets of soybean cultivars were used, and the isolates of SMV collected in these two countries were finally classified into five (A to E) and 21 (SC1 to SC21) strains, respectively. Later, Shigemori [25] and Kanematsu, Nakano [26] attempted to unify the classification of SMV strains from U.S. and Japan. The investigation by the arti- ficial inoculation of U.S. differential varieties with the Japanese strains showed that the Japanese strains were classified into three groups: 1). containing A and B (corresponded to strain G3), 2). containing strains C and D, a b Fig. 1.

The values at the nodes indicate the percentage of replicate trees in which associated taxa are clustered together (number of boot- strap trails: 1000 replicates). The scale bar shows the number of substitutions per base. 234 L. T. Mishchenko, A. A. Dunich, I. S. Shcherbatenko and 3). containing only E. Strains C, D, and E corresponded to no U.S. strains [25]. Kanematsu and Nakano [26] artificially in- oculated the Japanese differential varieties with the U.S. strains. The U.S. strains were also classified into three groups: 1) containing G1 and G4 (corresponded to strain B); 2) con- taining G2, G3, G6, and G7 (corresponded to strain A); 3) containing only G5 (correspond- ed to strain C), whereas strains D and E cor- responded to no U.S. strains. Ukrainian isolate SKS-18 was clustered into the one clade with Japanese strain C (Fig. 1a). According to Kanematsu and Nakano [26] classification, Ukrainian isolate SKS-18 be- longs to G5-group. Among all taken to the study Japanese and US strains, SKS-18 has the highest nucleotide and amino acid identity with G5 strain and G5H -clone (Tabl.1). Noteworthy, Ukrainian SMV isolate Pol-17 which was earlier studied by us had some other phylogenetic relationships [27]. It indi- cates the differences between these Ukrainian SMV isolates. To explore the evolutionary forces acting on the SMV CP gene, the dN/dS values were calculated for all of the SMV CP sequences in our study (Tabl. 1). This ratio indicates the amount of nonsynonymous to synonymous mutations. dN/dS ratio for isolate SKS-18 compared to all other isolates was 0.0315, for the rest of isolates — from 0.0090 to 0.0219. This indicates a higher nucleotide diversity of the isolate SKS-18 compared to all selected in this study SMV isolates. The global dN/dS ratio for all sequences studied was 0.014 (p < 0.01). The value below 1 indicates that the SMV CP gene experiences a negative (purifying) selection pressure — selection to maintain the sustainability of the gene. It was revealed 2 aa substitutions in the part of SKS-18 CP gene: Ser→Cys — at 1st position and Lys→Ala — at 2nd position (Fig. 2). Only 71 aa from 143 are presented in Fig.2, because at positions 72-143 the sequences were identical for all SMV isolates. Amino acid substitutions were observed also for the isolates G6H, G7, G7A and G7d. It has been established that the aa substitutions in SKS-18 at positions 1 and 2 are unique in comparison with all SMV isolates taken for the analysis. Substitution Ser → Cys requires transition g → c (tcc → tgc or agc → tgc or simultane- ous substitution of two nucleotides in the codons tcg, tca, tct, agt to form the tgc codon). The formation of the second cysteine codon (tgt) also requires two nucleotide substitutions in the serine codons. Lys → Ala substitution requires two nucleotide substitutions in the alanine codon gcg to form the lysine codon aag, or three nucleotide substitutions in all codons of alanine to form the lysine codon aaa. Such simultaneous substitutions of two or three nucleotides are of low probability, so the mechanisms of the identified substitutions of these amino acids are of interest for under- standing the features of the SMV variability, as well as their role in the seed transmission of the virus, since only few single-amino- acid changes near the C- terminus of the CP of certain SMV strains led to the impossibi lity of seed transmission [3]. The P1, CP, and the DAG motif are also associated with seed transmission of potyviruses, which suggests that CP interactions with HC-Pro are impor- tant for multiple functions in the SMV infec- tion cycle. 235 Phylogenetic analysis of Ukrainian seed-transmitted isolate of Soybean mosaic virus The results obtained by Domeir et al. [2] indicated that the most poorly seed- and aphid- transmitted SMV isolates G7 and G7F had two mutations and G5 one mutation in the DAG motif. However, the isolate G2 with a low seed transmission rate had no mutations is this mo- tif but was characterized by aa substitution in other position (Q264 to P). Some potyviruses, e.g., the isolates of PSbMV, have no DAG triplets and are still transmitted efficiently by aphids and through seed. While HC-Pro and CP have been implicated in both aphid and seed transmission [2], different regions of the proteins may be involved in the two modes of transmission. Conclusions By the nucleotide sequences of CP gene region, the isolate SKS-18 has identity from 98.8% to 89.8%, that is from 5 to 44 nt substitutions. The highest percentage of identity (98.8%, 4 nt substitutions) is revealed with the Iranian iso- Fig. 2. Multiple alignments of the CP part amino acid sequences of SMV isolates/strains. Numbers on top represent the deduced CP amino acid position. Only the differences are shown 236 L. T. Mishchenko, A. A. Dunich, I. S. Shcherbatenko lates Ar33 and Lo3, American isolate VA2, and Ukrainian isolate UA1Gr. The isolate SKS-18 is localized in one cluster alongside the isolates with the highest nucleotide identity: Ar33, Lo3, VA2, UA1Gr, XFQ014, HB-S19, M, Go11, 1083, that may be due to similar variability. The dN/dS ratio below 1 testifies to the influ- ence of negative selection pressure on the SMV CP gene. However, SKS-18 has a higher nu- cleotide diversity compared to all SMV isolates selected in this study. By the amino acid sequences, unlike nucle- otide, the vast majority of isolates (29 out of 33) are completely identical. It has been estab- lished that the aa substitutions in SKS-18 at positions 1 and 2 are unique in comparison with all SMV isolates taken for the analysis, because the simultaneous substitutions of two or three nucleotides, required for the amino acid replacement, have a very low probability. The mechanisms of such substitutions are of interest to understand the features of the SMV variability, as well as its role in the seed trans- mission of the virus. Additional phylogenetic studies of other SMV genes are required to identify the SMV genes involved in the seed transmission. REFERENCES 1. Hull R. Matthews’ Plant Virology, 4th edn.

Філогенетичний аналіз українського ізоляту вірусу мозаїки сої, який передається насінням Л. Т. Міщенко, А. А. Дуніч, І. С. Щербатенко Вірус мозаїки сої (ВМС) передається насінням і може спричиняти значні зниження врожаїв та якості насіння рослин сої (Glycine max). Ступінь насіннєвої передачі різних ізолятів ВМС складає 0–43 %. Питання про те, які саме гени ВМС задіяні у процесі насіннєвої пере- дачі його ізолятів досі залишається відкритим. Філогенетичних досліджень для українських ізолятів ВМС, які передаються насінням, не проводилось. Мета. Провести філогенетичний аналіз гена CP ізо- ляту ВМС, який передається насінням. Методи. Виділення тотальної РНК із рослинного матеріалу, RT-PCR, сиквенування, філогенетичний аналіз. Результати. Вперше проведено філогенетичний аналіз послідовностей ділянки (430 нт) гена капсидного біл- ка ВМС ізоляту SKS-18, який передається насінням. Найвищий відсоток ідентичності за нуклеотидною (98,8 %) та за амінокислотною (98,6 %) послідовністю ізолят SKS-18 має з іранськими ізолятами Ar33, Lo3, американським ізолятом VA2, а також українським ізолятом UA1Gr. У досліджуваній ділянці гену CP ізоляту SKS-18 виявлено унікальні амінокислотні за- міщення у позиціях 1 (Ser→Cys) та 2 (Lys→Ala). Висновки. Ізолят SKS-18 локалізується в одному клас- тері з ізолятами з найбільшою ідентичністю нуклео- тидів, що може бути наслідком їх подібної мінливості. 238 L. T. Mishchenko, A. A. Dunich, I. S. Shcherbatenko Унікальні амінокислотні заміщення у досліджуваній ділянці гену CP ізоляту SKS-18 можуть бути залучені до насіннєвої передачі вірусу та інших важливих функ- цій інфекційного циклу, з’ясування яких необхідне для розроблення ефективних засобів захисту рослин від вірусних хвороб.

Т. Мищенко, А. А. Дунич, И. С. Щербатенко Вирус мозаики сои (ВМС) передается семенами и может вызывать значительные снижения урожая и качества семян растений сои (Glycine max). Степень семенной передачи различных изолятов ВМС состав- ляет 0–43 %. Вопрос о том, какие именно гены ВМС задействованы в процессе семенной передачи его изо- лятов, до сих пор остается открытым.

Выделение тотальной РНК из растительного материа- ла, RT-PCR, сиквенирование, филогенетический анализ. Результаты. Впервые проведен филогенетический анализ последовательностей участка (430 нт) гена капсидного белка изолята ВМС SKS-18, который пере- дается семенами. Наиболее высокий процент идентич- ности по нуклеотидной (98,8 %) и аминокислотной (98,6 %) последовательности изолят SKS-18 имеет с иранскими изолятами Ar33, Lo3, американским изоля- том VA2, а также украинским изолятом UA1Gr. В ис- следуемом участке гена CP изолята SKS-18 выявлены уникальные аминокислотные замещения в положении 1 (Ser→Cys) и в положении 2 (Lys→Ala). Выводы. Изолят SKS-18 локализуется в одном кластере с изо- лятами с наибольшей идентичностью нуклеотидов, что может быть следствием их подобной изменчивости. Уникальные аминокислотные замещения в исследуе- мом участке гена CP изолята SKS-18 могут быть задей- ствованы в семенной передаче вируса и других важных функциях инфекционного цикла, выяснение которых необходимо для разработки эффективных средств за- щиты растений от вирусных болезней.
