UNLABELLED The protein-protein interactions between viral and host proteins play an essential role in plant virus infection and host defense. The potyviral nuclear inclusion protein a protease (NIa-Pro) is involved in various steps of viral infection. In this study, the host proteins interacting with papaya ringspot virus (PRSV) NIa-Pro were screened in a Carica papaya L. plant cDNA library usi...

Previously we showed that infection of human type II airway epithelial (A549) cells with purified respiratory syncytial virus (pRSV) induced interleukin-8 transcription by a mechanism involving cytokine-inducible cytoplasmic-nuclear translocation of the RelA transcription factor. In unstimulated cells, RelA is tethered in the cytoplasm by association with the IkappaB inhibitor and can be releas...

Controlling plant viruses by genetic engineering, including the globally important Papaya ringspot virus (PRSV), mainly involves coat protein (CP) gene mediated resistance via post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS). However, the breakdown of single- or double-virus resistance in CP-gene-transgenic papaya by more virulent PRSV strains has been noted in repeated field trials. Recombination an...

استخراج فوق بحرانی یکی از جدیدترین روش­های خالص­سازی مواد اولیه و محصولات که امروزه مورد استقبال قرار گرفته است. در این مطالعه از معادلات حالت prsv و srk برای تخمین حلالیت 10 ماده جامد رایج در دی­اکسیدکربن فوق بحرانی استفاده شده است. نتایج شبیه­سازی نشان داد معادله prsv تطابق بهتری با داده­های تجربی دارد. هر دو معادله برای پیش­بینی حلالیت جامدات نیاز به پارامتر برهم­کنش دوتایی داشتند. همچنین پا...

Proteinase inhibitors are ubiquitous proteins that block the active center or interact allosterically with proteinases and are involved in plant physiological processes and defense responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. The CmSPI gene identified from Cucumis metuliferus encodes a serine type PI (8 kDa) that belongs to potato I type family. To evaluate the effect of silencing CmSPI gene on Pa...

Papaya with resistance to papaya ringspot virus (PRSV) is the first genetically modified tree and fruit crop and also the first transgenic crop developed by a public institution that has been commercialized. This chapter reviews the different transformation systems used for papaya and recent advances in the use of transgenic technology to introduce important quality and horticultural traits in ...

Mosaic disease has become epidemic in the zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L.) plantations on island of Bali, but cause is not yet known with certainty, although there are allegations common causes including Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), Papaya ringspot (PRSV), Squash (SqMV), Watermelon (WMV), and Zucchini yellow (ZYMV). This study aims to ascertain which was carried out by observation symptoms, proving...

The ubiquitin/26S proteasome system plays an essential role not only in maintaining protein turnover, but also in regulating many other plant responses, including plant-pathogen interactions. Previous studies highlighted different roles of the 20S proteasome in plant defense during virus infection, either indirectly through viral suppressor-mediated degradation of Argonaute proteins, affecting ...

Dengue fever is the most significant mosquito transmitted viral disease worldwide, but there is no commercially available vaccine to protect against infection. Subunit vaccines, comprising of a small antigenic region of the dengue E protein offer considerable advantages over more traditional methodologies of vaccine production, but are hampered by the requirement to produce large quantities of ...
