Movement protein of Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus is genetically unstable and negatively regulated by Ribonuclease E in E. coli

Abstract Movement protein (MP) of Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV) belongs to “30 K” superfamily of proteins and members of this family are known to show a wide array of functions. In the present study this gene was found to be genetically unstable in E. coli when transformed DH5α cells were...
