Abstract excerpt
Many plant RNA viruses use their nonstructural proteins to target and move through the cortical endoplasmic reticulum (ER) tubules within the plant intercellular junction for cell-to-cell spreading. Most of these proteins, including the triple-gene-block 3 protein (TGBp3) of Potexvirus, are ER membrane proteins. We previously showed that TGBp3 of the Bamboo mosaic potexvirus partitions into tubular subdomains of...
