A quantitation method based on the sensitive detection of Renilla luciferase (Rluc) activity was developed and optimized for Potato virus A (PVA; genus Potyviridae) gene expression. This system is based on infections initiated by Agrobacterium infiltration and subsequent detection of the translation of PVA::Rluc RNA, which is enhanced by viral replication, first within the cells infected initially and later by translation and replication within new cells after spread of the virus. Firefly luciferase (Fluc) was used as an internal control to normalize the Rluc activity. An approximately 10-fold difference in the Rluc/Fluc activity ratio between a movement-deficient and a replication-deficient mutant was observed starting from 48 h post Agrobacterium infiltration (h.p.i.). The Rluc activity derived from wild type (wt) PVA increased significantly between 48 and 72 h.p.i. and the Rluc/Fluc activity deviated clearly from that of the mutant viruses. Quantitation of the Rluc and Fluc mRNAs by semi-quantitative RT-PCR indicated that increases and decreases in the Renilla reniformis luciferase (rluc) mRNA levels coincided with changes in Rluc activity. However, a subtle increase in the mRNA level led to pronounced changes in Rluc activity. PVA CP accumulation was quantitated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The increase in Rluc activity correlated closely with virus accumulation. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
