Abstract
We have identified a family of novel proteins that interact with the virus genome-linked protein (VPg) of a range of potyviruses to support virus movement in compatible infections. Called Potyvirus VPg-Interacting Proteins (PVIP), they are probably essential for plant growth but have no proven function except to support virus movement. In this project, we will investigate 1) the function of PVIP in plants 2) the cellular and intracellular location of PVIP relative to potyvirus replication and virus particles and 3) how PVIP supports potyvirus movement. The work will contribute to filling the substantial void in our understanding of the factors required for successful infection and provide new information on important plant functions.
