The movement protein of tobacco mosaic virus, MP30, mediates viral
cell-to-cell transport via plasmodesmata. The complex MP30 intra- and
intercellular distribution pattern includes localization to the endoplasmic
reticulum, cytoplasmic bodies, microtubules, and plasmodesmata and likely
requires interaction with plant endogenous factors. We have identified and
analyzed an MP30-interacting protein, MPB2C, from the host plant Nicotiana
tabacum. MPB2C constitutes a previously uncharacterized
microtubule-associated protein that binds to and colocalizes with MP30 at
microtubules. In vivo studies indicate that MPB2C mediates accumulation of
MP30 at microtubules and interferes with MP30 cell-to-cell movement. In
contrast, intercellular transport of a functionally enhanced MP30 mutant,
which does not accumulate and colocalize with MP30 at microtubules, is not
impaired by MPB2C. Together, these data support the concept that MPB2C is not
required for MP30 cell-to-cell movement but may act as a negative effector of
MP30 cell-to-cell transport activity.
