Abstract excerpt
Cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) spreads from cell-to-cell as virus particles through tubular structures in modified plasmodesmata which are composed of viral movement protein (MP). Mutational analysis of the MP has revealed that the N-terminal and central regions of the MP are involved in tubule formation and that the C-terminal domain probably has a role in the interactions with virus particles. By constructing...
