AB Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) leaves contain virusinducible type 1 (single chain) ribosome-inactivatingproteins that have been named beetins. The structuraland functional characterization, the cellular location,and the potential role of beetins as antiviral agents arereported here. Beetins are formed of a single polypeptide chain with a varying degree of glycosylationand strongly inhibited in vitro protein synthesis inrabbit reticulocyte lysates (IC5051.15 ng ml21) anda Vicia sativa L. cell-free system (IC50568 ng ml21)through the single depurination of the large rRNA.Beetins trigger the multidepurination of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) genomic RNA which underwent extensive degradation upon treatment with acid aniline.Beetins are extracellular proteins that were recoveredfrom the apoplastic fluid. Induction of sugar beet RIPswith either H2O2 or artichoke mottled crinkle virus(AMCV) was observed in leaves distant from the siteof application of such elicitors. The external application of purified beetin to sugar leaves prevented infection by AMCV which supports the preliminaryhypothesis that beetins could be involved in plantsystemic acquired resistance subjected to inductionby phytopathogens.
