Barley stripe mosaic virus γb Protein Subverts Autophagy to Promote Viral Infection by Disrupting the ATG7-ATG8 Interaction
30 May 2018
Abstract excerpt
Autophagy is a conserved defense strategy against viral infection. However, little is known about the counterdefense strategies of plant viruses involving interference with autophagy. Here, we show that γb protein from Barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV), a positive single-stranded RNA virus, directly interacts with AUTOPHAGY PROTEIN7 (ATG7). BSMV infection suppresses autophagy, and overexpression of γb protein is...
