| the dahlia mosaic virus gene vi product n-terminal region is involved in self-association. | the genome of the floriculture pathogen dahlia mosaic caulimovirus (dmv) encodes six open reading frames. generally, caulimovirus gene vi products (p6s) are thought to be multifunctional proteins required for viral infection and it is likely that self-association is required for some of these functions. in this study, yeast two-hybrid and maltose binding protein (mbp) pull-down assays indicated that full-length dmv p6 specifically self-associates. further analyses indicated that only the dmv p6 ... | 2011 | 21571015 |
