Interaction of a plant virus-encoded protein with the major nucleolar protein fibrillarin is required for systemic virus infection
18 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
The nucleolus and specific nucleolar proteins are involved in the life cycles of some plant and animal viruses, but the functions of these proteins and of nucleolar trafficking in virus infections are largely unknown. The ORF3 protein of the plant virus, groundnut rosette virus (an umbravirus), has been shown to cycle through the nucleus, passing through Cajal bodies to the nucleolus and then exiting back into...
