摘要
Dear Editor, Host chaperone proteinsarecritical factors in plant virus infec- tion. One ofthe most commonly identified host factors involved in plant virus infection is Hsp70, which functions in ATP hydroly- sis, protein folding, assembly of protein complexes, and translo- cation between cellular compartments. A comparative study of plant virus infection, including Potato virus X （PVX）, reported that Hsp70 is up-regulated by virus infection and possibly con- tributes to pathogenesis in both Arabidopsis and N. benthami- ana plants （Aparicio et al., 2005）. Cytosolic Hsp70 interacts with the tombusvirus and tymovirus replication complexes （Wang et al., 2009）, the potyvirus coat protein （Hafren et al., 2010）, and closteroviruses encode an HSP70 homolog that functions to enable virus intercellular transport （Agranovsky et al., 1998）.
