A model of a virus-specific mechanism to boost viral RNA translation. P0 transcription is induced in PVY and PVA infection (Baebler et al., 2009; Vuorinen et al., 2010 ) and TuMV infection upregulates eIF4E (Léonard et al., 2004), suggesting that the demand for these proteins is increased during natural potyvirus infection. VPg, eIF4E/(iso)4E, and P0 enhance PVA RNA expression (Hafrén et al., 2013), resulting in the production of a large amount of viral proteins, e.g., CP required for virion assembly at later stages of infection.
