AI Article Synopsis
- Geminiviruses are small DNA viruses that have circular genomes and encode very few proteins.
- Recently, researchers led by Gong et al. revamped their approach to identify proteins and discovered small proteins with specific locations in cells and functions related to virulence.
- Their findings suggest that it's important to investigate these small proteins in other types of geminiviruses as well.
Article Abstract
Geminiviruses are small DNA viruses with single-stranded circular genomes that encode for few known proteins. Recently, Gong et al. reconsidered their protein identification criteria and identified open reading frames that encode small proteins with specific cellular localizations and virulence functions. Their data warrants exploration of such small proteins in other geminiviruses.
