The helper strategy in vector-transmission of plant viruses by Di Mattia, Jérémy, Zeddam, Jean-Louis, Uzest, Marilyne, Blanc, Stéphane

“…HCs are virus-encoded non-structural proteins produced in infected plant cells that are mandatory for the transmission success. Over five decades, all data collected on HCs from unrelated viral species transmitted by distinct vector species were consistent with a unique mode of action designated “the bridge hypothesis”: the HC has two functional domains, one binding the virus particle and the other binding a putative receptor in the vector, creating a reversible molecular bridge between the two. …”
