Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) coat protein (CP) in absence of RNA self-assembles into several different structures depending on pH and ionic strength. Transgenic plants that produce self-assembling CP are resistant to TMV infection, a phenomenon referred to as coat-protein-mediated resistance (CP-MR). The mutant CP Thr42Trp (CP(T42W)) produces enhanced CP-MR compared to wild-type CP. To establish the relationship between the formation of 20S CP aggregates and CP-MR, virus-like particles (VLPs) produced by TMV variants that yield high levels of CP-MR were characterized. We demonstrate that non-helical structures are found in VLPs formed in vivo by CP(T42W) but not by wild-type CP and suggest that the mutation shifts the intracellular equilibrium of aggregates from low to higher proportions of non-helical 20S aggregates. A similar shift in equilibrium of aggregates was observed with CP(D77R), another mutant that confers high level of CP-MR. The mutant CP(D50R) confers a level of CP-MR similar to wild-type CP and aggregates in a manner similar to wild-type CP. We conclude that increased CP-MR is correlated with a shift in intracellular equilibrium of CP aggregates, including aggregates that interfere with virus replication.
