“…For example, early studies on Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) showed that its movement protein (MP) is phosphorylated by a cell wall‐associated kinase that facilitates viral cell‐to‐cell transport through plasmodesmata (Citovsky et al ., ; Karpova et al ., ; Waigmann et al ., ). Phosphorylation of viral movement proteins was then shown to be a common strategy that enables plant viruses to spread (Modena et al ., ; Link et al ., ; Samuilova et al ., ; Hu et al ., ). Various viral proteins with distinct functions are phosphorylated during viral infection, including RNA‐dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) (Kim et al ., ; Jakubiec et al ., ; Jakubiec & Jupin, ), coat protein (CP) (Ivanov et al ., ; Hung et al ., ; Zhao et al ., ), and proteins that suppress RNA silencing and symptom development (Lewsey et al ., ; Shen et al ., , ; Zhong et al ., ).…”
