The subcellular localization of the hydrophobic TGBp3 protein of Poa semilatent virus (PSLV, genus Hordeivirus) was studied in transgenic plants using fluorescent microscopy to detect green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged protein and immunodetection with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) raised against the GFP-based fusion expressed in E coli. In Western blot analysis, mAbs efficiently recognized the wild-type and GFP-fused PSLV TGBp3 proteins expressed in transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana, but failed to detect TGBp3 in hordeivirus-infected plants. It was found that PSLV TGBp3 and GFP-TGBp3 had a tendency to form large protein complexes of an unknown nature. Fractionation studies revealed that TGBp3 represented an integral membrane protein and probably co-localized with an endoplasmic reticulum-derived domain. Microscopy of epidermal cells in transgenic plants demonstrated that GFP-TGBp3 localized to cell wall-associated punctate bodies, which often formed pairs of opposing discrete structures that co-localized with callose, indicating their association with the plasmodesmata-enriched cell wall fields. After mannitol-induced plasmolysis of the leaf epidermal cells in the transgenic plants, TGBp3 appeared within the cytoplasm and not at cell walls. Although TGBp3-induced bodies were normally static, most of them became motile after plasmolysis and displayed stochastic motion in the cytoplasm.
