Biological Activity of Two Tombusvirus Proteins Translated from Nested Genes Is Influenced by Dosage Control via Context-Dependent Leaky Scanning

Tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV) encodes a small gene (p19) nested within the cell-to-cell movement gene (p22), and their translation yields two proteins with separate activities for virus spread and symptom induction. The objective of this study was to determine the biological relevance associated w...
