Host-Dependent Requirement for the Potato leafroll virus 17-kDa Protein in Virus Movement
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2002 The requirement for the 17-kDa protein (P17) of Potato leafroll virus (PLRV) in virus movement was investigated in four plant species: potato (Solanum tuberosum), Physalis floridana, Nicotiana benthamiana, and N. clevelandii.

Tracking Intercellular Movement of Fluorescent Proteins in Bryophytes
, 2022 An important approach to investigate intercellular connectivity via plasmodesmata is to visualize and track the movement of fluorescent proteins between cells. The intercellular connectivity is largely controlled by the size exclusion limit of the pores.

General theory of specific binding: insights from a genetic-mechano-chemical protein model [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Proteins need to selectively interact with specific targets among a multitude of similar molecules in the cell. But despite a firm physical understanding of binding interactions, we lack a general theory of how proteins evolve high specificity. Here, we present such a model that combines chemistry, mechanics and genetics, and explains how their ...

Movement of accessible plasma membrane cholesterol by the GRAMD1 lipid transfer protein complex
eLife, 2019 Cholesterol is a major structural component of the plasma membrane (PM). The majority of PM cholesterol forms complexes with other PM lipids, making it inaccessible for intracellular transport.

The Plasmodesmal Localization Signal of TMV MP Is Recognized by Plant Synaptotagmin SYTA
mBio, 2018 Plant viruses cross the barrier of the plant cell wall by moving through intercellular channels, termed plasmodesmata, to invade their hosts. They accomplish this by encoding movement proteins (MPs), which act to alter plasmodesmal gating. How MPs target

Plant Virus Cell-to-Cell Movement Is Not Dependent on the Transmembrane Disposition of Its Movement Protein [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2009 ABSTRACT The cell-to-cell transport of plant viruses depends on one or more virus-encoded movement proteins (MPs). Some MPs are integral membrane proteins that interact with the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum, but a detailed understanding of the interaction between MPs and biological membranes has been lacking. The cell-to-

Virus-virus interactions alter the mechanical transmissibility and host range of begomoviruses
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 IntroductionBegomoviruses are mainly transmitted by whiteflies. However, a few begomoviruses can be transmitted mechanically. Mechanical transmissibility affects begomoviral distribution in the field.Materials and methodsIn this study, two mechanically ...

Virology, 2007 It has been demonstrated that the subcellular location of Tobamovirus movement protein (MP) which was fused with green fluorescent protein (MP:GFP) changed during the infection process. However, the intracellular route through which MP is transported and its biological meaning are still obscure.
