Interactions between the structural domains of the RNA replication proteins of plant-infecting RNA viruses.
Brome mosaic virus (BMV), a positive-strand RNA virus, encodes two replication proteins: the 2a protein, which contains polymerase-like sequences, and the 1a protein, with N-terminal putative capping and C-terminal helicase-like sequences. These two proteins are part of a multisubunit complex which is necessary for viral RNA replication. We have previously shown that the yeast two-hybrid assay ...
متن کاملGenome packaging by spherical plant RNA viruses.
The majority of positive-strand RNA viruses of plants replicate and selectively encapsidate their progeny genomes into stable virions in cytoplasmic compartments of the cell where the opportunity to copackage cellular RNA also exists. Remarkably, highly purified infectious virions contain almost exclusively viral RNA, suggesting that mechanisms exist to regulate preferential packaging of viral ...
متن کاملRNA recombination in animal and plant viruses.
An increasing number of animal and plant viruses have been shown to undergo RNA-RNA recombination, which is defined as the exchange of genetic information between nonsegmented RNAs. Only some of these viruses have been shown to undergo recombination in experimental infection of tissue culture, animals, and plants. However, a survey of viral RNA structure and sequences suggests that many RNA vir...
متن کاملNon-canonical Translation in Plant RNA Viruses
Viral protein synthesis is completely dependent upon the host cell's translational machinery. Canonical translation of host mRNAs depends on structural elements such as the 5' cap structure and/or the 3' poly(A) tail of the mRNAs. Although many viral mRNAs are devoid of one or both of these structures, they can still translate efficiently using non-canonical mechanisms. Here, we review the tool...
متن کاملSpecial Issue: Honey Bee Viruses
Pollination of flowering plants is an important ecosystem service provided by wild insect pollinators and managed honey bees. Hence, losses and declines of pollinating insect species threaten human food security and are of major concern not only for apiculture or agriculture but for human society in general. Honey bee colony losses and bumblebee declines have attracted intensive research intere...
