Nuclear targeting of the cauliflower mosaic virus coat protein.

Partial Epitope Mapping of Alfalfa mosaic Virus and the Effect of Coat Protein Gene Mutation on Aphid Transmission

Characterization of Coat Protein Gene of Cucumber Mosaic Virus Isolates in Iran

Background: Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) from the Bromoviridae family, is one of the most widespread plant viruses in the world. Objectives: In the present study tomato fields in Guilan, Isfahan, Khorasan Razavi, Khuzestan and Tehran provinces were surveyed to determine the presence of CMV subgroups during 2011-2012. Materials and Methods: Out of 305 symptomatic leaf samples ...

Study on Genetic Diversity of Terminal Fragment Sequence of Isolated Persian Tobacco Mosaic Virus

Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is one of the devastating plant viruses in the world that infects more than 200 plant species. Movement protein plays a supportive role in the movement of other plant viruses, and viral coat protein is highly expressed in infected plants and affects replication and movements of TMV. In order to investigate genetic variation in the terminal fragment sequence in Iranian...

Structure and replication of caulimovirus genomes.

In this paper the current state of knowledge of the replication of cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) is reviewed and the DNA intermediates and enzymes involved in replication are discussed. Based on this information a model for the replication complex is developed. In this model it is suggested that replication complexes resemble virus particles and that, in their assembly, there are close intera...

Interaction between the open reading frame III product and the coat protein is required for transmission of cauliflower mosaic virus by aphids.

Transmission of cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) by aphids requires two viral nonstructural proteins, the open reading frame (ORF) II and ORF III products (P2 and P3). An interaction between a C-terminal domain of P2 and an N-terminal domain of P3 is essential for transmission. Purified particles of CaMV are efficiently transmitted only if aphids, previously fed a P2-containing solution, are all...
