History of coat protein-mediated protection

Abstract:
A decade of research has proven that plants can be genetically engineered to resist virus infection through expression of viral CP genes, as well as other viral genes and sequences. Additional opportunities for development of resistant plants will require research focused on mechanisms of protection, improvements in expression vector design, and transformation of new crop species. As each of these technologies is utilized singly or in combination to generate resistant crop varieties, the full impact of such engineered resistance will be realized.

Conjugated Proteins
Nucleoproteins are protein complexes that contain nucleic acids, categorized as deoxyribonucleoproteins (DNPs) or ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) respectively. The nucleosome is a typical example of a DNP where nuclear DNA is associated with histone proteins. The major antigen for the Covid-19 virus SARS-CoV is an RNP that is critical...

Coat Assembly and GTPases
Coat assembly depends on the local availability of phosphatidylinositol phosphates or PIPs and GTP-binding proteins. Adaptor proteins, which link the coat proteins to the membrane, bind to these PIPs and play a crucial role in controlling...
