“…The precise biochemical function of SMV P3, and indeed the potyviral P3 protein in general, is largely uncharacterized due to the lack of structural or functional motifs in its sequence. Roles in viral replication, movement, virulence activity, and in one case, avirulence, have been suggested (Rodriguez-Cerezo et al, 1993;Sáenz et al, 2000;Desbiez et al, 2003;Jenner et al, 2003;Choi et al, 2005;Hajimorad et al, 2005Hajimorad et al, , 2006Hjulsager et al, 2006;Eggenberger et al, 2008;). Some potyviral P3 proteins were detected in the nucleoli of early-infected cells, whereas others were detected exclusively in the cylindrical inclusions of infected cells (Rodriguez-Cerezo et al, 1993;Langenberg and Zhang, 1997).…”
