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.

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)

The Unfolded Protein Response Is Triggered by a Plant Viral Movement Protein1[W][OA] [PDF]
Infection 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 ...

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.

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.

Two Plant–Viral Movement Proteins Traffic in the Endocytic Recycling Pathwayw⃞ [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 ...

Similarities in intracellular transport of plant viral movement proteins BMB2 and TGB3.
The cell-to-cell transport of many plant viruses through plasmodesmata requires viral movement proteins (MPs) encoded by a 'triple gene block' (TGB) and termed TGB1, TGB2 and TGB3. TGB3 is a small integral membrane protein that contains subcellular targeting signals and directs both TGB2 and the helicase domain-containing TGB1 protein to plasmodesmata ...

Systemic spread of an RNA insect virus in plants expressing plant viral movement protein genes [PDF]
Flock house virus (FHV), a single-stranded RNA insect virus, has previously been reported to cross the kingdom barrier and replicate in barley protoplasts and in inoculated leaves of several plant species [Selling, B. H., Allison, R. F. & Kaesberg, P. (1990)Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA87, 434–438]. There was no systemic movement of FHV in plants.
