Signals and Structures Involved in Early Interactions between Plants and Viruses or Pseudoviruses

  • Conference paper
Recognition and Response in Plant-Virus Interactions

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIH,volume 41))

Abstract

One mechanism by which stable plant RNA virus particles might be disassembled in vivo involves recruitment of cell factors and ribosomes by a short, easily exposed portion of RNA. No cell specificity exists during virus uptake or early cotranslational disassembly. Virus-like reporter ribonucleocapsids were synthesized in vitro to study the mechanism, sequence-dependence and site of disassembly and transient gene expression without concomitant replication. “Pseudoviruses” and transcapsidated viral RNAs can elucidate the mechanism(s) of genetically engineered, coat protein-mediated cross-protection in electroporated tobacco protoplasts or plants.
