Projekt
Functional analysis of the interaction between host factors and viral transport proteins (C02)
Subject Area
Plant Physiology
Term
from 2009 to 2017
Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 52732026
Successful invasion of plants by viruses depends on compatible interactions between host and virus-encoded factors to facilitate genome replication, cell-to-cell movement via plasmodesmata (PD) and long distance transport through the vascular system. In the third funding period we would like to further our understanding of the intracellular trafficking of potato leafroll virus (PLRV) movement protein 17 (MP17) and to unravel the role of molecular chaperones during viral infections. In addition we will contribute to a comparative analysis of the role of SUMOylation for nucleolar proteins in plant and human cells.
