Covering common ground [PDF]

Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2009
Plant viruses are composed of diverse genomes (e.g., RNA or DNA) encoding proteins that vary widely in sequence. It is becoming clear, however, that some apparently unrelated viral proteins have similar functions. The P6 protein encoded by Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) and the 126-kDa protein encoded by Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) are examples of this

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

Microscopic Analysis of Severe Structural Rearrangements of the Plant Endoplasmic Reticulum and Golgi Caused by Overexpression of Poa semilatent virus Movement Protein

The Scientific World Journal, 2012
Cell-to-cell transport of plant viruses is mediated by virus-encoded movement proteins and occurs through plasmodesmata interconnecting neighboring cells in plant tissues.

A 212-nt long RNA structure in the Tobacco necrosis virus-D RNA genome is resistant to Xrn degradation [PDF]

, 2019
Plus-strand RNA viruses can accumulate viral RNA degradation products during infections. Some of these decay intermediates are generated by the cytosolic 5′-to-3′ exoribonuclease Xrn1 (mammals and yeast) or Xrn4 (plants) and are formed when the enzyme ...

In situ molecular organization and heterogeneity of the Legionella Dot/Icm T4SS

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present a nearly complete in situ model of the Legionella Dot/Icm type IV secretion system, revealing its central secretion channel and identifying new components. Using cryo‐electron tomography with AI‐based modeling, our work highlights the structure, variability, and mechanism of this complex nanomachine, advancing understanding of bacterial ...

Molecular studies on the sweet potato virus disease and its two causal agents [PDF]

, 2002
The studies presented in this thesis contribute to an increased understanding of the molecular aspects, variability and interaction of the two most important viral pathogens of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L): Sweet potato feathery mottle virus (SPFMV ...

Virus-induced gene complementation reveals a transcription factor network in modulation of tomato fruit ripening [PDF]

, 2012
Plant virus technology, in particular virus-induced gene silencing, is a widely used reverse- and forward-genetics tool in plant functional genomics. However the potential of virus technology to express genes to induce phenotypes or to complement mutants

Umbravirus-Encoded Proteins both Stabilize Heterologous Viral RNA and Mediate Its Systemic Movement in Some Plant Species

Virology, 2001
The proteins encoded by open reading frame 3 (ORF3) of the umbraviruses pea enation mosaic virus-2 and tobacco mottle virus, like that of groundnut rosette virus, mediated the movement of viral RNA through the phloem of infected Nicotiana benthamiana or N.

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...
