A family of plasmodesmal proteins with receptor-like properties for plant viral movement proteins. [PDF]
Plasmodesmata (PD) are essential but poorly understood structures in plant cell walls that provide symplastic continuity and intercellular communication pathways between adjacent cells and thus play fundamental roles in development and pathogenesis ...

Manipulation of plant host susceptibility: an emerging role for viral movement proteins? [PDF]
Viruses encode Viral Suppressors of RNA silencing (VSRs) to counteract RNA silencing, a major antiviral defense response in plants. Recent studies indicate a role of virus-derived siRNAs in manipulating the expression of specific host genes and that ...

Small hydrophobic viral proteins involved in intercellular movement of diverse plant virus genomes
Most plant viruses code for movement proteins (MPs) targeting plasmodesmata to enable cell-to-cell and systemic spread in infected plants. Small membrane-embedded MPs have been first identified in two viral transport gene modules, triple gene block (TGB)

Host and viral RNA-binding proteins involved in membrane targeting, replication and intercellular movement of plant RNA virus genomes [PDF]
Many plant viruses have positive-strand RNA [(+)RNA] as their genome. Therefore, it is not surprising that RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) play important roles during (+)RNA virus infection in host plants.

The E3 ligase HRD1 enhances plant antiviral immunity by targeting viral movement proteins
Summary: The ubiquitin-26S proteasome system (UPS) is a conserved protein degradation process involved in plant growth and immunity. However, whether some UPS E3 ligases directly target plant viruses in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) remains less ...

The roles of movement and coat proteins in the transport of tobamoviruses between plant cells [PDF]
Tobamovirus is a large group of positive-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses that cause diseases in a broad range of plant species, including many agronomically important crops. The number of known Tobamovirus species has been on the rise in recent years,

Studies on the Japanese soil-borne wheat mosaic virus movement protein highlight its ability to bind plant RNA [PDF]
Background Plant viral movement protein (MP) function is decisive for virus cell-to-cell movement. Often, MPs also induce membrane alterations, which are believed to play a role for the establishment of viral replication compartments.

HSP90 interacts with VP37 to facilitate the cell-to-cell movement of broad bean wilt virus 2 [PDF]
The systemic spread of viruses in plants requires successful viral cell-to-cell movement through plasmodesmata (PD). Viral movement proteins (MPs) interact with cellular proteins to modify and utilize host transport routes. Broad bean wilt virus 2 (BBWV2)
