TL;DR: This chapter summarizes knowledge about mechanistic properties of the movement protein of Tobacco mosaic virus and discusses the potential involvement of other viral and cellular components in the intercellular transport process.
Abstract: Macromolecular cell-to-cell transport in plants occurs through complex intercellular channels, the plasmodesmata. Plant viruses pirate these natural plant communication channels for their own spread from an infected cell to a neighboring healthy cell. Viral movement proteins are the major agents in promoting this process. Tobacco mosaic virus is the most extensively studied plant virus and can therefore be viewed as a model system for cell-to-cell transport. In this chapter we summarize knowledge about mechanistic properties of the movement protein of Tobacco mosaic virus and discuss the potential involvement of other viral and cellular components in the intercellular transport process.
