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.

Viral Movement Proteins as Probes for Intracellular and Intercellular Trafficking in Plants [PDF]
The ability of viruses to cross the cellulosic cell wall to propagate infection throughout a plant has been a long-standing puzzle in plant cell biology and virology. Contemplated from the perspective of the topology of the plant cell and the plant as an integrated structure of the ...

Insertion and Topology of a Plant Viral Movement Protein in the Endoplasmic Reticulum Membrane [PDF]
Virus-encoded movement proteins (MPs) mediate cell-to-cell spread of viral RNA through plant membranous intercellular connections, the plasmodesmata. The molecular pathway by which MPs interact with viral genomes and target plasmodesmata channels is largely unknown.

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 ...

Identification of a Functional Plasmodesmal Localization Signal in a Plant Viral Cell-To-Cell-Movement Protein [PDF]
ABSTRACT Our fundamental knowledge of the protein-sorting pathways required for plant cell-to-cell trafficking and communication via the intercellular connections termed plasmodesmata has been severely limited by the paucity of plasmodesmal targeting sequences that have been identified to date. To address this limitation, we have

Suppression of a dsRNA-induced plant immunity pathway by viral movement protein [PDF]
SummaryThe virome of plants is dominated by RNA viruses1and several of these cause devastating diseases in cultivated plants leading to global crop losses2. To infect plants, RNA viruses engage in complex interactions with compatible plant hosts. In cells at the spreading infection front, RNA viruses replicate their genome through double-stranded RNA ...

The Unfolded Protein Response Is Triggered by a Plant Viral Movement Protein [PDF]
AbstractInfection with Potato virus X (PVX) in Nicotiana benthamiana plants leads to increased transcript levels of several stress-related host genes, including basic-region leucine zipper 60 (bZIP60), SKP1, ER luminal binding protein (BiP), protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), calreticulin (CRT), and calmodulin (CAM).
