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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Plant viral movement proteins: Agents for cell-to-cell trafficking of viral genomes
Plants viruses spread throughout their hosts using a number of pathways, the most common being movement cell to cell through plasmodesmata (PD), unique intercellular organelles of the plant kingdom, and between organs by means of the vascular system.

Probing plant cell structure and function with viral movement proteins
Virus-encoded movement proteins are the principal strategy by which all plant viruses counter the primary physical defense of the plant to infection - the cell wall - to produce systemic infection and disease. Our understanding of how these proteins act at the molecular and cellular level has increased enormously in the past decade and ushered in an ...

Two Plant–Viral Movement Proteins Traffic in the Endocytic Recycling Pathway [PDF]
Abstract Many plant viruses exploit a conserved group of proteins known as the triple gene block (TGB) for cell-to-cell movement. Here, we investigated the interaction of two TGB proteins (TGB2 and TGB3) of Potato mop-top virus (PMTV), with components of the secretory and endocytic pathways when expressed as N-terminal fusions to ...

Variability, Functions and Interactions of Plant Virus Movement Proteins: What Do We Know So Far?
Of the various proteins encoded by plant viruses, one of the most interesting is the movement protein (MP). MPs are unique to plant viruses and show surprising structural and functional variability while maintaining their core function, which is to ...
