N6-methyladenosine(m6A)is the most abundant eukaryotic mRNA modification and is involved in various biological processes.Increasing evidence has implicated that m6A modification is an important anti-viral defense mechanism in mammals and plants,but it is largely unknown how m6A regulates viral infection in plants.Here we report the dynamic changes and functional anatomy of m6A in Nicotiana benthamiana and Solanum lycopersicum during Pepino mosaic virus(PepMV)infection.m6A modification in the PepMV RNA genome is conserved in these two species.Overexpression of the m6A writers,mRNA adenosine methylase A(MTA),and HAKAI inhibit the PepMV RNA accumulation accompanied by increased viral m6A modifications,whereas deficiency of these writers decreases the viral RNA m6A levels but enhances virus infection.Further study reveals that the cytoplasmic YTH-domain family protein NbECT2A/2B/2C as m6A readers are involved in anti-viral immunity.Protein-protein interactions indicate that NbECT2A/2B/2C interact with nonsense-mediated mRNA decay(NMD)-related proteins,including NbUPF3 and NbSMG7,but not with NbUPF1.m6A modification-mediated restriction to PepMV infection is dependent on NMD-related factors.These findings provide new insights into the functionality of m6A anti-viral activity and reveal a distinct immune response that NMD factors recognize the m6A readers-viral m6A RNA complex for viral RNA degradation to limit virus infection in plants.
