Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) open reading frame (ORF) III encodes a 15 kDa protein (P3) that is indispensable for viral infectivity. Although P3 has been shown to be a prerequisite for CaMV aphid transmission, its role in viral replication remains unknown. We previously showed that P3 forms a tetramer in planta and that P3 tetramer co-sediments with viral coat protein on sucrose gradient centrifugation,...
