Genetic decoding is not 'frozen'as was earlier thought, but dynamic. One facet of this is
frameshifting that often results in synthesis of a C-terminal region encoded by a new frame …

The genus Sobemovirus, unassigned to any family, consists of viruses with single-stranded
plus-oriented single-component RNA genomes and small icosahedral particles. Currently …

Viruses in the family Luteoviridae have positive-sense RNA genomes of around 5.2 to 6.3
kb, and they are limited to the phloem in infected plants. The Luteovirus and Polerovirus …

The sobemoviruses have one of the smallest of all known RNA virus genomes. ORF1
encodes P1 which plays a role in suppression of silencing and virus movement, ORFs 2a …

The mechanisms of evolution of plant viruses are being unraveled, yet the timescale of their
evolution remains an enigma. To address this critical issue, the divergence time of plant …

Ryegrass mottle virus (RGMoV; genus: Sobemovirus) is a single-stranded positive RNA
virus with a 30 nm viral particle size. It exhibits T= 3 symmetry with 180 coat protein (CP) …

Frameshifting provides an elegant mechanism by which viral RNA both encodes
overlapping genes and controls expression levels of those genes. As in animal viruses, the …

Processing of Sesbania mosaic virus (SeMV) polyprotein 2a and 2ab was reanalyzed in the
view of the new genome organization of sobemoviruses. Polyprotein 2a when expressed in …

The complete nucleotide sequence of a new member of the unassigned genus
Sobemovirus, isolated from raspberry and bramble plants in north east Scotland and given …

Sobemoviruses encode serine-like 3C proteases (Pro) that participate in the processing and
maturation of other virus-encoded proteins. Its cis and trans activity is mediated by the …
