| potato leafroll virus binds to the equatorial domain of the aphid endosymbiotic groel homolog. | a groel homolog with a molecular mass of 60 kda, produced by the primary endosymbiotic bacterium (a buchnera sp.) of myzus persicae and released into the hemolymph, has previously been shown to be a key protein in the transmission of potato leafroll virus (plrv). like other luteoviruses and pea enation mosaic virus, plrv readily binds to extracellular buchnera groel, and in vivo interference in this interaction coincides with reduced capsid integrity and loss of infectivity. to gain more knowled ... | 1998 | 9420234 |
| a peptide that binds the pea aphid gut impedes entry of pea enation mosaic virus into the aphid hemocoel. | development of ways to block virus transmission by aphids could lead to novel and broad-spectrum means of controlling plant viruses. viruses in the luteoviridae enhanced are obligately transmitted by aphids in a persistent manner that requires virion accumulation in the aphid hemocoel. to enter the hemocoel, the virion must bind and traverse the aphid gut epithelium. by screening a phage display library, we identified a 12-residue gut binding peptide (gbp3.1) that binds to the midgut and hindgut ... | 2010 | 20223498 |
