TABLE 1.

A brief list of characterized host proteins and their functions in plant virus replication.

Virus Protein name Function Description Proposed function references
TBSV Cdc34 Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (E2) and catalytic subunit of SCF ubiquitin-protein ligase complex component of the viral replicase complex; ubiquitinate p33 to enhance TBSV replication. [4]
TBSV Tef1/2 Translational elongation factor EF-1 alpha component of the viral replicase complex; mutation of tef1/2 reduces TBSV replicase protein stability in vivo and viral replication. [6]
TBSV Tdh2/3 Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase component of the viral replicase complex; helps the assymetric replication of TBSV. [3,5]
TBSV Ssa1/2 ATP binding protein involved in protein folding and vacuolar import of proteins; member of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) family component of the viral replicase complex; assists TBSV p33 replication protein insertion to host membrane. [3,7,35]
TBSV Rsp5 a member of the Nedd4 family of E3 ubiquitin ligases Interacts p33 and p92 replicase protein via WW domain; decreases p92 expression while not p33; inhibit virus replication [71]
BMV Pus4 Pseudouridine synthase; increases the minus-strand RNA synthesis by 30%, and decreases viral positive-strand RNA synthesis; helps viral systemic movement in plant. [29]
App1p Protein of unknown function, interacts with Rvs161p and Rvs167p inhibits the viral RNA synthesis and viral systemic movement [29]
Qri1p UDP-N-acetylglucosamine pyrophosphorylase inhibits the viral RNA synthesis [29]
TMV NbCRT2, NbCRT3 Calnexin; integral membrane ER chaperone involved in folding and quality control of glycoproteins Silencing leads to partial loss of N immune receptor mediated defense to TMV; Induces IRK expression. [30]
NbERp57, NbP5 Protein disulfide isomerase, multifunctional protein resident in the endoplasmic reticulum lumen Silencing leads to partial loss of N immune receptor mediated defense to TMV [30]
RPN7 26S proteasome subunit TMV Induced overexpression of RPN7 leads to the programmed cell death, and causes symptom of TMV. [48]
BaMV PNbMTS1 putative methyltransferase inhibits BaMV coat protein accumulation; silencing of PNbMTS1 stimulates viral RNA accumulation suggesting its antiviral function [48,74]
ClCuMV-βC1 SIUBC3 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme interacts with viral βC1 protein and causes βC1 specific symptom [82]
PVX TIP1 homologues of tobacco ankyrin repeat-containing protein Interacts with PVX p12 movement protein and regulates cell-to-cell movement [14]
