An RNA-dependent RNA polymerase that plays an essential role in the virus replication.
Belongs to the potyviridae genome polyprotein family.
Has RNA-binding and proteolytic activities.
Has helicase activity. It may be involved in replication.
Involved in aphid transmission, cell-to-cell and systemis movement, encapsidation of the viral RNA and in the regulation of viral RNA amplification.
Required for aphid transmission and also has proteolytic activity. Only cleaves a Gly-Gly dipeptide at its own C-terminus. Interacts with virions and aphid stylets. Acts as a suppressor of RNA-mediated gene silencing, also known as post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS), a mechanism of plant viral defense that limits the accumulation of viral RNAs. May have RNA-binding activity.
