Abstract excerpt
Mutant tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) coat proteins (CPs) with known amino acid replacements provide well defined examples of destabilized tertiary structures. Here we show that misfolded TMV CPs, but not functional wild-type CPs, induce massive ubiquitylation in tobacco cells and that denatured, insoluble CP subunits are the main substrates of ubiquitin conjugation. As TMV CPs can be easily manipulated they are...
