Abstract excerpt
Plant potyviruses require eukaryotic translation initiation factors (eIFs) such as eIF4E and eIF(iso)4E to replicate and spread. When Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) infects a host plant, its viral protein linked to the genome (VPg) needs to interact with eIF4E or eIF(iso)4E to initiate translation. TuMV utilizes BraA.eIF4E.a, BraA.eIF4E.c, BraA.eIF(iso)4E.a, and BraA.eIF(iso)4E.c of Brassica rapa to initiate...
