Importance of coat protein and RNA silencing in satellite RNA/virus interactions.
Virology - 15 Sept 2008
Manfre Alicia J, Simon Anne E
Abstract excerpt
RNA silencing is a major defense mechanism plants use to fight an invading virus. The silencing suppressor of Turnip crinkle virus (TCV) is the viral coat protein (CP), which obstructs the DCL2/DCL4 silencing pathway. TCV is associated with a virulent satellite RNA (satC) that represses the accumulation of TCV genomic RNA and whose accumulation is repressed by the TCV CP. To investigate if reduced TCV...
