Seven isolates of a putative cytorhabdovirus (family Rhabdoviridae, order Mononegavirales) designated as citrus-associated rhabdovirus (CiaRV) were identified in citrus, passion fruit, and paper bush from the same geographical area in China. CiaRV, bean-associated cytorhabdovirus (Brazil), and papaya virus E (Ecuador) should be taxonomically classified in the species Papaya cytorhabdovirus. Due to natural mutations, the glycoprotein (G) and P4 genes were impaired in citrus-infecting isolates of CiaRV, resulting in an atypical rhabdovirus genome organization of 3′ leader-N-P-P3-M-L-5′ trailer. The P3 protein of CiaRV shared a common origin with begomoviral movement proteins (family Geminiviridae). Secondary structure analysis and trans-complementation of movement-deficient tomato mosaic virus and potato virus X mutants by CiaRV P3 supported its function in viral cell-to-cell trafficking. The wide geographical dispersal of CiaRV and related viruses suggests an efficient transmission mechanism, as well as an underlying risk to global agriculture. Both the natural phenomenon and experimental analyses demonstrated presence of the “degraded” type of CiaRV in citrus, in parallel to “undegraded” types in other host plant species. This case study shows a plant virus losing the function of an important but nonessential gene, likely due to host shift and adaption, which deepened our understanding of course of natural viral diversification.
