Abstract

Large numbers of bioactive natural products from plant species such as alkaloids, phenolics, terpenoids etc. are remaining unexplored for their potential as plant protective agents as inhibitors for viral and other pathogenic infections of plant. Myzus aphids are important plant pests and vectors for several plant viruses. Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) belongs to the plant virus family Caulimoviridae which is transmitted “non-circulative” from plant to plant through an interaction with aphid insect vectors. This viral transmission process most likely involves a protein–protein binding interaction between aphid stylet receptor cuticular protein and viral proteins namely, CaMV aphid transmission Helper Component protein and virion associated protein. Aphid stylets are made of cuticle and little is known about the structure of cuticle protein of this insect group. The present study reports the molecular modeling of the structures of Myzus persicae aphid stylet’s cuticular protein (MpsCP) and cauliflower mosaic virus aphid transmission Helper component protein (CaMV HCP). Protein–protein docking studies and molecular dynamics simulations are performed to establish the mode of binding of MpsCP with CaMV HCP. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics investigations of terpenoids Annosquamosin-A from Annona squamosa complex with CaMV transmitting aphid M. persicae stylet’s cuticular protein revealed their means of interaction perhaps relates to restrain viral binding and transmission. QM/MM optimization of mesoporous silica nanopores composite with Annosquamosin-A for smart and safe delivery of bioactive is carried out to study their electronic parameters such as heat of formation, total energy, electronic energy, Ionization potential, Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital, Lowest Un-occupied Molecular Orbital and energy gaps.
