Abstract excerpt
The DNA genomes of geminiviruses have a limited coding capacity that is compensated for by the production of small multifunctional proteins. The AL2 protein encoded by members of the genus Begomovirus (e.g., Tomato golden mosaic virus) is a transcriptional activator, a silencing suppressor, and a suppressor of a basal defense. The related L2 protein of Beet curly top virus (genus Curtovirus) shares the...
