Many positive-stranded RNA viruses use subgenomic mRNAs to express part of their
genetic information. To produce structural and accessory proteins, members of the order …

Positive-strand RNA viruses are important human, animal and plant pathogens that are
defined by their single-stranded positive-sense RNA genomes. In recent years, it has …

The tombusviruses are among the most extensively studied messenger-sensed RNA plant
viruses. Over the past decade, there have been numerous important advances in our …

The vast majority of plant and animal viruses have RNA genomes. Viral gene expression
and replication are controlled by cis-acting elements in the viral genome, which have been …

Many (+)-strand RNA viruses use subgenomic (SG) RNAs as messengers for protein
expression, or to regulate their viral life cycle. Three different mechanisms have been …

Tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV) is the prototypical member of the genus Tombusvirus in the
family Tombusviridae. The (+)-strand RNA genome of TBSV lacks both a 5′ cap and a 3 …

Many eukaryotic RNA viruses transcribe subgenomic (sg) mRNAs during infections to
control expression of a subset of viral genes. Such transcriptional events are commonly …

Translational readthrough of stop codons by ribosomes is a recoding event used by a variety
of viruses, including plus-strand RNA tombusviruses. Translation of the viral RNA …

Positive-strand RNA viruses are the most common type of plant virus. Many aspects of the
reproductive cycle of this group of viruses have been studied over the years and this has led …

To study the replication of Tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV), a small tombusvirus of plants,
we have developed a cell-free system based on a Saccharomyces cerevisiae extract. The …
