An Importin-β-like Protein from Nicotiana benthamiana Interacts with the RNA Silencing Suppressor P1b of the Cucumber Vein Yellowing Virus, Modulating Its Activity
Abstract:During a plant viral infection, host–pathogen interactions are critical for successful replication and propagation of the virus through the plant. RNA silencing suppressors (RSSs) are key players of this interplay, and they often interact with different host proteins, developing multiple functions. In the Potyviridae family, viruses produce two main RSSs, HCPro and type B P1 proteins. We focused our efforts on the less known P1b of cucumber vein yellowing virus (CVYV), a type B P1 protein, to try to identify p… Show more
“…B. Garcia et al [ 3 ] studied the P1b protein of cucumber vein yellowing virus (CVYV), a type B P1 protein, to try to identify possible factors that could play a relevant role during viral infection. Their characterization of the interaction between P1b and the N. benthamiana homolog of Importin 7, and its effect on the plant, identified a new possible role of this host protein as a regulator of the action of viral RNA silencing suppressors.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
