Two viral proteins, 1a and 2a, direct replication of brome mosaic bromovirus (BMV) RNAs as well as they participate in BMV RNA recombination. To study the relationship between replication and recombination, double BMV variants that carried mutations in 1a and 2a genes were tested. The observed effects revealed that the 1a helicase and 2a N-terminal or core domains were functionally linked during both processes in vivo. The use of a series of mutant BMV replicase (RdRp) preparations demonstrated in vitro the participation of the 1a and 2a domains in BMV RNA copying and in template switching during minus-strand synthesis. The observed effects support previous observations that the characteristics of homologous and nonhomologous recombination can be modified separately by mutations at different sites on BMV replicase proteins.
