Plant virus proteins involved in natural vector transmission 1996-07-31 .txt text/plain 2228 168 59 Viral proteins mediate the binding of plant viruses to vector mouthparts and the transport of virus across vector-cell membranes. They further suggest that the am&-terminal region of the coat-protein monomers assembled into virus particles is not normally available for interaction with the aphids, but that HC mediates a conformational change in the amino termiof thecoat protein that allows binding of the virus ;o the aphid (Fig. 4C) .mission is regulated mainly by the codt protein'". Site-specific mutagenesis of cucumber mosaic virus (CuMV) has identified two regions of the coat protein thar are involved in efficient transmission, and has pinpointed the amino acids needed<'. These observations biggest that one or a few amino acid changes in the coat protein could alter the vectortransmission phenotype by pre\ enring direct interaction between the virus and the vector. the environment wtthln the food canal or binding of the virus tc) the vector, all resulting in the exposure >f cleavage sites on the coat proteins. ./cache/cord-287729-pl88otue.txt ./txt/cord-287729-pl88otue.txt
