Two new roles for the TYMV tRNA-like structure : translation enhancement and repression of minus strand synthesis

Creator:

Matsuda, Daiki

Abstract:

Some positive-strand RNA plant viruses possess a transfer RNA-like structure (TLS) at the 3'-terminus of their genomic RNAs. The closest mimicry to tRNA is exhibited by the valylatable TLSs from tymoviruses and furo-like viruses, which are able to interact with key cellular tRNA enzymes: [CTP, ATP]:tRNA nucleotidyltransferase (CCA NTase), valyl-tRNA...

Biophysical properties of the turnip yellow mosaic virus explored by coat protein mutagenesis

Creator:

Powell, Joshua D.

Abstract:

Plant viruses have been instrumental in our understanding of the biophysical properties pertaining to non-enveloped icosahedral virus particles. A substantial amount of research has been performed over five decades on Turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV), arguably one of the most extensively studied icosahedral plant viruses and the type-member of the...
