Abstract excerpt
The translation initiation factors eIF4E and eIF(iso)4E play a key role during virus infection in plants. During mRNA translation, eIF4E provides the cap-binding function and is associated with the protein eIF4G to form the eIF4F complex. Susceptibility analyses of Arabidopsis mutants knocked-out for At-eIF4G genes showed that eIF4G factors are indispensable for potyvirus infection. The colonization pattern by a...
