Determination of direct interaction between NbNBR1 and βC1.

, 2021
(A) Yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) assay was performed to determine the interaction between NbNBR1 and βC1. Y2H Gold yeast cells co-expressing AD-T+BD-53 or AD-T+BD-Lam were used as the positive and the negative controls, respectively. BD, binding domain of GAL4;

Geminiviral βC1 orchestrates organellar genomic instability to augment viral infection by hijacking host RecA

bioRxiv, 2021
Chloroplast is the site for transforming light energy to chemical energy. It also acts as a production unit for a variety of defense-related molecules. These defense moieties are necessary to mount a successful counter defence against pathogens including

A Single Complementary-Sense Transcript of a Geminiviral DNA β Satellite Is Determinant of Pathogenicity

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2005
Small circular single-stranded DNA satellites, termed DNAβ, have recently been found associated with some geminivirus infections. The DNA β associated with Cotton leaf curl virus is responsible for symptom expression of a devastating disease in Pakistan.

Identification of potential plant secondary metabolites targeting begomovirus-associated betasatellite virulence factor βC1 protein through molecular docking, simulation and MM-PBSA studies

Discover Plants
The βC1 protein encoded by begomoviruses plays a key role in counteracting plant defense mechanisms, making it a prime target for antiviral compounds. Here, we investigated the role of plant secondary metabolites for their antiviral potential. Initially,
