25. Identification of an elicitor active site within the three-dimensional structure of the tobacco mosaic tobamovirus coat protein.
The coat protein (CP) of tobacco mosaic tobamovirus (TMV) elicits the hypersensitive response (HR) conferred by the N' gene from Nicotiana sylvestris. This study presents evidence demonstrating a critical role for a specific CP structural site in eliciting this HR. Based on the known structure of the TMV CP, specific substitutions were created within the CP

26. Phosphorylation and/or Presence of Serine 37 in the Movement Protein of Tomato Mosaic Tobamovirus Is Essential for Intracellular Localization and Stability In Vivo
The P30 movement protein (MP) of tomato mosaic tobamovirus (ToMV) is synthesized in the early stages of infection and is phosphorylated in vivo. Here, we determined that serine 37 and serine 238 in the ToMV MP are sites of phosphorylation. MP mutants in which serine was replaced by alanine at positions 37 and 238 (LQ37A238A) or at position 37 only (LQ37A) we

27. A hybrid plant RNA virus made by transferring the noncapsid movement protein from a rod-shaped to an icosahedral virus is competent for systemic infection.
For many plant RNA viruses, multiple viral gene products, including noncapsid movement proteins and capsid proteins, contribute to the spread of infection within plants. The extent to which these factors interact to support infection spread is not known, but, for movement protein mutants of certain viruses, the inability of coinoculated "helper" viruses to c

28. Studies of coat protein-mediated resistance to tobacco mosaic tobamovirus: correlation between assembly of mutant coat proteins and resistance.
Coat protein-mediated resistance (CP-MR) has been widely used to protect transgenic plants against virus diseases. To characterize the mechanisms of CP-MR to tobacco mosaic tobamovirus (TMV) we developed mutants of the coat protein that affected subunit-subunit interactions. Mutant CPs were expressed during TMV replication as well as in transgenic Nicotiana

29. Rapid, high-level expression of biologically active alpha-trichosanthin in transfected plants by an RNA viral vector.
alpha-Trichosanthin, a eukaryotic ribosome-inactivating protein from Trichosanthes kirilowii, inhibits the replication of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in vitro. The alpha-trichosanthin gene was placed under the transcriptional control of a tobamovirus subgenomic promoter in a plant RNA viral vector. Two weeks after inoculation, transfected Nicotian

30. Tobamovirus Replicase Coding Region Is Involved in Cell-to-Cell Movement
Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) encodes a 30-kDa movement protein (MP) which enables viral movement from cell to cell. It is, however, unclear whether the 126- and 183-kDa replicase proteins are involved in the cell-to-cell movement of TMV. In the course of our studies into TMV-R, a strain with a host range different from that of TMV-U1, we have obtained an inter

31. Tobacco mosaic virus infection spreads cell to cell as intact replication complexes
Plant viruses encode movement proteins (MPs) that facilitate cell–cell transport of infection through plasmodesmata. Intracellular and intercellular spread of virus replication complexes (VRCs) of tobacco mosaic virus was followed in intact leaf tissue from 12 to 36 h post infection (hpi) by using confocal microscopy. From 12 hpi, VRCs in primary infected

32. Double-Stranded RNA-Mediated Interference with Plant Virus Infection
Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) has been shown to play a key role as an inducer of different interference phenomena occurring in both the plant and animal kingdoms. Here, we show that dsRNA derived from viral sequences can interfere with virus infection in a sequence-specific manner by directly delivering dsRNA to leaf cells either by mechanical inoculation or v

33. Cytoplasmic inhibition of carotenoid biosynthesis with virus-derived RNA.
The carotenoid biosynthetic pathway in higher plants was manipulated by using an RNA viral vector. A cDNA encoding phytoene synthase and a partial cDNA encoding phytoene desaturase (PDS) were placed under the transcriptional control of a tobamovirus subgenomic promoter. One to two weeks after inoculation, systemically infected Nicotiana benthamiana plants we

34. Five pseudoknots are present at the 204 nucleotides long 3' noncoding region of tobacco mosaic virus RNA.
The 104 nucleotides long 3' terminal region of TMV RNA was shown previously to contain two pseudoknotted structures (Rietveld et al. (1984), EMBO J. 3, 2613-2619). We here present evidence for the occurrence, within the 204 nucleotides long 3' noncoding region, of another highly structured domain located immediately adjacent to the tRNA-like structure of 95

35. The tRNA-like structure at the 3' terminus of turnip yellow mosaic virus RNA. Differences and similarities with canonical tRNA.
The 3' terminus of TYMV RNA, which possesses tRNA-like properties, has been studied. A 3' terminal fragment of 112 nucleotides was obtained by cleavage with RNase H after hybridization of a synthetic oligodeoxynucleotide to the viral RNA. The accessibility of cytidine and adenosine residues was probed with chemical modification. Enzymatic digestion studies w

36. Structural variation and functional importance of a D-loop–T-loop interaction in valine-accepting tRNA-like structures of plant viral RNAs
Valine-accepting tRNA-like structures (TLSs) are found at the 3′ ends of the genomic RNAs of most plant viruses belonging to the genera Tymovirus, Furovirus, Pomovirus and Pecluvirus, and of one Tobamovirus species. Sequence alignment of these TLSs suggests the existence of a tertiary D-loop–T-loop interaction consisting of 2 bp, analogous to those in th
