A family of plasmodesmal proteins with receptor-like properties for plant viral movement proteins. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2010
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]

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2014
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

open access: yesCell Reports
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]

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2012
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

open access: yesVirology, 2006
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

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Plant Biology, 1999
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]

open access: yesPlant Cell, 2005
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 ...

A mycovirus-encoded homologue of plant viral movement proteins is not functional in movement complementation assays in plants

open access: yesVirus Research
Valsa mali negative strand RNA virus 1 (VmNSRV1), a fungal virus infecting Valsa mali and belonging to the Phenuiviridae family, was recently shown to be capable of naturally infecting plants.

Variability, Functions and Interactions of Plant Virus Movement Proteins: What Do We Know So Far?

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2021
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 ...

Facilitating viral vector movement enhances heterologous protein production in an established plant system

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, 2023
Summary Molecular farming technology using transiently transformed Nicotiana plants offers an economical approach to the pharmaceutical industry to produce an array of protein targets including vaccine antigens and therapeutics.
