Large-Scale Purification of a Stable Form of Recombinant Tobacco Etch Virus Protease
Tobacco etch virus NIa proteinase (NIa-Pro) has become the enzyme of choice for removing tags and fusion domains from recombinant proteins in vitro. We have designed a mutant NIa-Pro that resists autoproteolytic inactivation and present an efficient ...

RNA packaging and uncoating in simple single-stranded RNA viruses [PDF]
Simple (non-enveloped) small, positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses infect hosts from all kingdoms of life. However, their assembly and uncoating processes remain poorly understood. For turnip crinkle virus (TCV), 3D reconstructions by cryoelectron

Helper component proteinase (HCpro) is a multifunctional protein of potyviruses (genus Potyvirus). HCpro of Potato virus A (PVA) interacts with the microtubule-associated protein HIP2 in host cells, and depletion of HIP2 reduces virus accumulation.

Nowadays, protein purification by the aid of affinity tags can be carried out with high speed and efficiency. However, in several cases, affinity tags can significantly alter the key properties of enzymes, especially activity and/or thermostability ...

Structural Basis for the Substrate Specificity of Tobacco Etch Virus Protease [PDF]
Because of its stringent sequence specificity, the 3C-type protease from tobacco etch virus (TEV) is frequently used to remove affinity tags from recombinant proteins. It is unclear, however, exactly how TEV protease recognizes its substrates with such high selectivity.

Viral resistance can be effectively induced in transgenic plants through their silencing machinery. Thus, we designed nine short hairpin RNAs (shRNA) constructs to target nuclear inclusion protein b (NIb), helper component proteinase (HC-Pro ...

Background To investigate the mechanism of RNA silencing suppression, the genetic transformation of viral suppressors of RNA silencing (VSRs) in Arabidopsis integrates ectopic VSR expression at steady state, which overcomes the VSR variations caused by ...

A multidirectional non-cell autonomous control and a genetic interaction restricting tobacco etch virus susceptibility in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
Viruses constitute a major class of pathogens that infect a variety of hosts. Understanding the intricacies of signaling during host-virus interactions should aid in designing disease prevention strategies and in understanding mechanistic aspects of host

We have developed a new binary epitope-presenting CVP platform based on bamboo mosaic virus (BaMV) by using the sortase A (SrtA)-mediated ligation technology. The reconstructed BaMV genome harbors two modifications: 1) a coat protein (CP) with N-terminal

Structural subunits of the crystalline inclusion induced by tobacco etch virus were clearly resolved when inclusions were examined both in situ and in isolated preparations by freeze-etch electron microscopy. Data supported the contention that the crystal substructure is organized into laminae and that these laminae assemble into crystals by stacking
