摘要：

Strains of the chestnut blight fungus Cryphonectria parasitica harboring RNA viruses of the genus Hypovirus exhibit significantly reduced levels of virulence (called hypovirulence). The accumulation of a heterotrimeric GTP-binding protein (G protein) alpha subunit of the G(i) class was found to be reduced in hypovirus-containing C. parasitica strains. Transgenic cosuppression, a phenomenon frequently observed in transgenic plants, reduced the accumulation of this alpha subunit in virus-free fungal strains. Significantly, the resulting transgenic fungal strains were also hypovirulent. These results indicate a crucial role for G-protein-linked signal transduction in fungal pathogenesis and suggest a molecular basis for virus-mediated attenuation of fungal virulence.
