Abstract

Since the first discovery of badnaviruses (family Caulimoviridae, genus Badnavirus) in yam (Dioscorea spp.) germplasm in the 1970s (Harrison and Roberts, 1973), several hundred partial badnavirus reverse transcriptase (RT)-ribonuclease H (RNaseH) sequences have been characterised (Kenyon et al., 2008; Bousalem et al., 2009), but only a few complete Dioscorea bacilliform virus (DBV) genome sequences have been reported (Phillips et al., 1999; Seal and Muller, 2007; Bömer et al., 2016 and 2017; Sukal et al., 2017; Umber et al., 2017). We have optimised a workflow involving total nucleic acid extractions and rolling circle amplification (RCA) combined with restriction enzyme analysis for the detection and amplification of DBVs present in yam germplasm. We have employed this approach successfully revealing three novel episomal yam badnaviruses (Bömer et al., 2016). We proposed this to be a complementary method to denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, which enables a rapid indication of badnavirus diversity as well as the identification of potentially integrated badnavirus sequences in the host genome (Turaki et al., 2017). Here, we describe the step-by-step protocol to screen yam germplasm for badnavirus infections using RCA as an efficient research tool in the amplification and characterization of novel badnavirus genomes.

Background

RCA is a sequence-independent strategy regularly used for the amplification of circular DNA virus genomes (Rector et al., 2004). Phi29 polymerase-mediated RCA techniques for (i) the detection of novel viruses; (ii) whole genome analysis of viruses; (iii) the generation of infectious clones; (iv) virus diagnostics of known viruses; (v) identification of replicative forms of viral genomes and; (vi) the differentiation between linear and circular forms are important tools in virology (reviewed by Johne et al., 2009). Circular target sequences are amplified more efficiently in RCA reactions as compared to linear templates. RCA has been recognized as a method of choice for the detection of Banana streak virus, also enabling the discrimination between integrated and episomal virus sequences (James et al., 2011) and was proposed to be used for DBV diagnostic purposes in yam (Umber et al., 2014). We uncovered several limitations to the usefulness of RCA in DBV diagnostics discussed in our previous study, including the amplification of putatively integrated sequences at lower frequencies and the amplification of circular plant plastid sequences. A relatively high chance for false-negative results also exists due to potential inhibition of the RCA assay due to plant compounds present in yam DNA extractions. We concluded that RCA is a useful tool for DBV research purposes (Figure 1, Bömer et al., 2016), which has been demonstrated several times since then (Bömer et al., 2017; Sukal et al., 2017). This led to the amplification and characterisation of several new full-length yam badnavirus genomes.


Figure 1. Scheme of the rolling circle amplification (RCA) method described in this protocol for the selective detection of episomal badnavirus genomes. RCA is a sequence-independent multiply-primed technique which can be used for the amplification and characterisation of episomal badnavirus sequences and was evaluated in yam germplasm in a previous study (Bömer et al., 2016).
