PLASTOCYANIN TRANSIT PEPTIDE INTERACTS WITH POTATO VIRUS X COAT PROTEIN, WHILE SILENCING OF PLASTOCYANIN REDUCES COAT PROTEIN ACCUMULATION IN CHLOROPLASTS AND SYMPTOM SEVERITY IN HOST PLANTS

Plastocyanin Transit Peptide Interacts with Potato virus X Coat Protein, While Silencing of Plastocyanin Reduces Coat Protein Accumulation in Chloroplasts and Symptom Severity in Host Plants

Potato virus X coat protein (PVXCP) is, through communication with host proteins, involved in processes such as virus movement and symptom development.Here, we report that PVXCP also interacts with the precursor of plastocyanin, a protein involved in photosynthesis, both in vitro and in vivo.Yeast two-hybrid analysis indicated that PVXCP interacted

Conformational modulation of influenza virus hemagglutinin: characterization and in vivo efficacy of monomeric form

Abstract Mutational changes that MASK AND SNORKEL mostly occur at the head region of hemagglutinin (HA) lead to the emergence of new epidemic influenza viruses, whereas HA antigens have been modified to generate broadly neutralizing antibodies toward highly conserved epitopes in the HA stem.Interestingly, a recent analysis of serum antibody reperto
