[Yau-Heiu Hsu] A viral movement protein co-opts ER luminal binding protein and calreticulin to promote intracellular movement
Intracellular movement is an important step for the initial spread of virus in plants during infection. Using Proximity labeling, we found endoplasmic reticulum proteins, NbBiP4 and NbCRT3, bind to BaMV movement protein and help BaMV complex transport to plasmodesmata for cell-to-cell movement.
