Global Screening and Functional Identification of Major HSPs Involved in PVY Infection in Potato
Bibliographic record
Abstract
HSP40 (also known as DnaJ), HSP70, and HSP90 are major heat shock protein (HSP) families that play critical roles in plant growth and development and stress adaption. Recently, several members of the three HSP families were reported to be widely involved in the plant host-virus interactions. However, their global expression profiles and core members recruited by viruses are largely unknown. In this study, a total of 89 StDnaJs were identified from a genome-wide survey, and their classification, phylogenetic relationships, chromosomal locations, and gene duplication events were further analyzed. Together with 20 StHSP70s and 7 StHSP90s previously identified in the potato genome, the global expression patterns of the members in 3 HSP families were investigated in 2 potato cultivars during Potato virus Y (PVY) infection using RNA-seq data. Of them, 16 genes (including 8 StDnaJs, 6 StHSP70s, and 2 StHSP90s) were significantly up- or downregulated. Further analysis using qRT-PCR demonstrated that 7 of the 16 genes (StDnaJ06, StDnaJ17, StDnaJ21, StDnaJ63, StHSP70-6, StHSP70-19, and StHSP90.5) were remarkably upregulated in the potato cultivar ‘Eshu 3’ after PVY infection, implying their potential roles in the potato-PVY compatible interaction. Subsequent virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) assays showed that silencing of the homologous genes of StDnaJ17, StDnaJ21, StHSP70-6, and StHSP90.5 in Nicotiana. benthamiana plants dramatically reduced the accumulation of PVY, which indicated the four genes may function as susceptibility factors in PVY infection. This study provides candidate genes for exploring the mechanism of potato-PVY compatible interaction and benefits breeding work aiming to produce new cultivars with the ability to grow healthily under PVY infection.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
