1. Movement protein (MP) binds to TMV RNA to form MP complexes.
2. Host proteins and/or other virus proteins may be in the MP-complex.
3. The MP-complex moves from to adjacent cells through plasmodesmata,
4. In the new cell, the viral RNA is released from the MP-complex.
5. The viral RNA is then translated on host ribosomes and the replication
cycle repeats.
The Coat Protein Is Required for Vascular Movement!!!
