Disease relevance of virD1

Mutational analysis of Agrobacterium tumefaciens pTiA6 virD1: identification of functionally important residues [1].

High impact information on virD1

Agrolistically transformed tobacco calli were obtained after codelivery of virD1 and virD2 genes together with a selectable marker flanked by border sequences [2].
The virC and virD operons encode functions responsible for host range and T-intermediate processing [3].
Because Osa inhibits oncogenicity of A. tumefaciens, and because alterations of the products of the virB and virD genes affect oncogenicity, studies were conducted to determine if there are changes in their specific association with the membranes in the presence Osa [4].
