Abstract

The tomato mosaic virus (TMV-L) RNA replicase contains three essential proteins, the virus- encoded 126 kDa and 183 kDa proteins and a host protein, recently identified as the tomato analogue of the yeast GCD10 RNA-binding subunit of the translational initiation factor eIF-3. The function of the tomato GCD10-related protein, its interactions with RNA and the virus- encoded proteins in the replicase complex, and the protein and RNA domains involved in template recognition and primer, product and substrate binding, will be investigated. The hypothesis that the tomato GCD10-related protein acts an an anchor for binding of the virus- encoded replication proteins to the RNA promoter in the assembly of the replicase complex will be tested.
