Tobacco mosaic virus movement protein complements a Potato spindle tuber viroid RNA mutant impaired for mesophyll entry but not mutants unable to enter the phloem.
Tobacco mosaic virus movement protein (TMV MP) is essential for virus spread between cells. To accomplish its task, TMV MP binds viral RNA, interacts with components of the cytoskeleton, and increases the size exclusion limit (SEL) of plasmodesmata. Plasmodesmata are gated intercellular channels tha...
