| isolation and identification of a super strong plant promoter from cotton leaf curl multan virus. | the activity of the c1 and the v1 gene promoter of cotton leaf curl multan virus (clcumv) was investigated in transgenic plants with the gus gene as a reporter gene. quantitative gus activity analysis of the transgenic plant leaves showed the average activity of the clcumv c1 gene promoter was 3- to 5-fold higher than that of the camv 35s promoter, with maximal expression being 10-fold higher. clcumv v1 gene promoter activity was only about 1/10th that of the camv 35s promoter in the absence of ... | 2003 | 14756302 |
| replication promiscuity of dna-beta satellites associated with monopartite begomoviruses; deletion mutagenesis of the ageratum yellow vein virus dna-beta satellite localizes sequences involved in replication. | pseudorecombination studies in nicotiana benthamiana demonstrate that ageratum yellow vein virus (ayvv) and eupatorium yellow vein virus (epyvv) can functionally interact with dna-beta satellites associated with ayvv, epyvv, cotton leaf curl multan virus (clcumv) and honeysuckle yellow vein virus (hyvv). in contrast, clcumv shows some specificity in its ability to interact with distinct satellites and hyvv is able to interact only with its own satellite. using an n. benthamiana leaf disk assay, ... | 2008 | 19008407 |
| reactions of nicotiana species to inoculation with monopartite and bipartite begomoviruses. | some nicotiana species are widely used as experimental hosts for plant viruses. nicotiana species differ in ploidy levels, chromosome numbers and have diverse geographical origins. thus, these species are useful model systems to investigate virus-host interactions, co-evolution of pathogens and hosts and the effects of ploidy level on virus resistance/susceptibility. | 2011 | 22011413 |
| replicative intermediates of tomato leaf curl virus and its satellite dnas. | several plant geminiviruses have been shown recently to utilize both rolling-circle replication (rcr) and recombination-dependent replication (rdr) strategies. a highly specific binding of the viral replication-associated protein (rep) to its cognate dna is essential for initiation of viral dna replication and for the recognition of dna components of the bipartite geminiviruses of the begomovirus genus. we have extended the replication analysis to the monopartite australian tomato leaf curl viru ... | 2005 | 15629786 |
| cotton leaf curl disease is associated with multiple monopartite begomoviruses supported by single dna beta. | for bipartite begomoviruses (family geminiviridae) trans-replication of the dna b component by the dna a-encoded replication-associated protein (rep) is achieved by virtue of a shared sequence, the "common region", which contains repeated motifs (iterons) which are sequence-specific rep binding sites and form part of the origin of replication. recently cotton leaf curl disease (clcud), a major constraint to cotton production on the indian subcontinent, has been shown to be caused by a monopartit ... | 2003 | 14551819 |

| [novel dna-beta associated molecules produced by sequence recombination and deletion of cotton leaf curl multan virus complex]. | cotton leaf curl disease (clcud) is a major constraint to cotton production, causing great economic losses in pakistan and india. in china, clcud has been discovered in the field of nanning, guangxi. to better understand this disease, we sequenced the virus-associated small dna molecules. | 2012 | 23115967 |
| high genetic homogeneity points to a single introduction event responsible for invasion of cotton leaf curl multan virus and its associated betasatellite into china. | cotton leaf curl multan virus (clcumuv) is a whitefly transmitted geminivirus (wtg) endemic to the india subcontinent and is notorious as a causal agent of cotton leaf curl disease (clcud), a major constraint to cotton production in south asia. we found clcumuv infecting hibiscus rosa-sinensis in guangzhou, china in 2006. the spread and evolution of the invading clcumuv were monitored in the following nine years. | 2015 | 26445958 |
| clcumub βc1 subverts ubiquitination by interacting with nbskp1s to enhance geminivirus infection in nicotiana benthamiana. | viruses interfere with and usurp host machinery and circumvent defense responses to create a suitable cellular environment for successful infection. this is usually achieved through interactions between viral proteins and host factors. geminiviruses are a group of plant-infecting dna viruses, of which some contain a betasatellite, known as dnaβ. here, we report that cotton leaf curl multan virus (clcumuv) uses its sole satellite-encoded protein βc1 to regulate the plant ubiquitination pathway fo ... | 2016 | 27315204 |
| cotton leaf curl multan virus-derived viral small rnas can target cotton genes to promote viral infection. | rna silencing is a conserved mechanism in plants that targets viruses. viral small rnas (vsirnas) can be generated from viral double-stranded rna replicative intermediates within the infected host, or from host rna-dependent rna polymerases activity on viral templates. the abundance and profile of vsirnas in viral infections have been reported previously. however, the involvement of vsirnas during infection of the geminiviridae family member cotton leaf curl virus (clcud), which causes significa ... | 2016 | 27540385 |
| autophagy functions as an antiviral mechanism against geminiviruses in plants. | autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process that recycles damaged or unwanted cellular components, and has been linked to plant immunity. however, how autophagy contributes to plant immunity is unknown. here we reported that the plant autophagic machinery targets the virulence factor βc1 of cotton leaf curl multan virus (clcumuv) for degradation through its interaction with the key autophagy protein atg8. a v32a mutation in βc1 abolished its interaction with nbatg8f, and virus carrying βc1( ... | 2017 | 28244873 |

| multiple begomoviruses found associated with cotton leaf curl disease in pakistan in early 1990 are back in cultivated cotton. | the first epidemic of cotton leaf curl disease (clcud) in early 1990's in the indian subcontinent was associated with several distinct begomoviruses along with a disease-specific betasatellite. resistant cotton varieties were introduced in late 1990's but soon resistance was broken and was associated with a single recombinant begomovirus named burewala strain of cotton leaf curl kokhran virus that lacks a full complement of a gene encoding a transcription activator protein (trap). in order to un ... | 2017 | 28386113 |
| interaction with a host ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme is required for the pathogenicity of a geminiviral dna beta satellite. | dna beta is a single-stranded satellite dna which encodes a single gene, betac1. to better understand the role of betac1 in the pathogenicity of dna beta, a yeast two-hybrid screen of a tomato cdna library was carried out using betac1 from cotton leaf curl multan virus (clcumv) dna beta as the bait. a ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme, designated slubc3, which functionally complemented a yeast mutant deficient in ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes was identified. the authenticity and specificity of the in ... | 2009 | 19445598 |
