Downregulation of eEF1Bγ expression inhibits RNA virus replication in plants. (A to C) Nicotiana benthamiana infection with TBSV (single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus). (A) Silencing of eEF1Bγ (the plant homolog of metazoan eEF1G) decreased virus replication compared to that in untreated plants. (B) Northern blot analysis of viral genomic RNA (gRNA) levels compared to levels of rRNA. (C) RT-PCR analysis of steady-state RNA levels for eEF1Bγ compared to tubulin.
