A second cauliflower mosaic virus gene product influences the structure of the viral inclusion body

Abstract

We have used electron microscopy of thin sections and experiments on isolated viroplasms to compare the properties of four strains of cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV), three of which were partially or completely deleted in open reading frame (ORF) II. Our results confirm that this gene is required for aphid transmissibility and show that the product of ORF II influences the firmness with which virions are held within the viroplasm. Analysis of the proteins in the viroplasms showed that a mutant with a partial deletion in ORF II produced a protein smaller than the normal ORF product. This smaller protein was non-functional with respect both to aphid transmissibility and properties of the viroplasms.
