Cucumber necrosis virus (CNV) is a (+)ssRNA virus that elicits spreading local and systemic necrosis in Nicotiana benthamiana. We previously showed that the CNV coat protein (CP) arm functions as a chloroplast transit peptide that targets a CP fragment containing the S and P domains to chloroplasts during infection. Here we show that several CP arm...
Importance:
Viruses predominantly encapsidate their own viral-related RNA species due to the possession of specific sequences and/or structures on viral RNA which serve as high affinity binding sites for the coat protein. In this study we show using next-generation sequence analysis that CNV also encapsidates host RNA species, which account for ∼0...
Tombusviruses replicate on pre-existing organelles such as peroxisomes or mitochondria, the membranes of which become extensively reorganized into multivesicular bodies (MVBs) during the infection process. Cucumber necrosis virus (CNV) has previously been shown to replicate in association with peroxisomes in yeast. We show that CNV induces MVBs fro...
Native isolated Xenorhabdus from Steinernema spp. manifest wide variety of secretary proteins, mainly in three clusters having mol wt in the range of 20-21, 46-51 and 60-66 kDa. The proteins of high mol wt, 76-90 kDa, apart from regular proteins are produced only in Xenorhabdus isolates of S. riobrave (SrM & A), but not in the isolates S. carpocaps...
