Rescue of tomato yellow leaf curl virus mutants with heterologous iterons through <i>in planta</i> evolution
2025-05-29
Abstract excerpt
The single-stranded, circular DNA genomes of geminiviruses contain iterated motifs of 5-6 nucleotides, known as iterons, upstream of the replication protein (Rep) coding region. Iterons were previously found to interact with cognate Rep in a sequence-specific manner, and the iteron-Rep interaction was needed for viral DNA replication. Nonetheless, iterons of closely related viruses often have different sequences,...
