Abstract excerpt
The P30 protein of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is required for cell to cell movement of viral RNA, which presumably occurs through plant intercellular connections, the plasmodesmata. The mechanism by which P30 mediates transfer of TMV RNA molecules through plasmodesmata channels is unknown. We have identified P30 as an RNA and single-stranded (ss) DNA binding protein. Binding of purified P30 to ss nucleic acids is...
