Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus (TYLCV), a single-stranded DNA begomovirus, belongs to the family Geminiviridae, which encodes six Open Reading Frames (ORFs). Host pathogen interaction studies revealed different resistance genes (Ty-2, Ty-5, and Ty-6) whose binding affinities and interaction patterns are still unclear against TYLCV. It is a dire need to understand the ORFs of TYLCV at the computational level to get insight into their electrostatic interaction, hydrogen bonding patterns, and binding affinities with resistance genes. In the recent study, comprehensive proteomic analyses of all encoded regions of TYLCV were performed, and the results revealed that C1 (Rep) protein was present at 30.4% in the nucleus, 34.8% in the mitochondria, and 26.1% in the cytoplasm. The 65.2% area of the mitochondria, with a 34.8% g area of the nucleus, was occupied by the C3 (Ren) factor, while the C.. View more»
