title: Protein encoded by ORF I of cauliflower mosaic virus is part of the viral inclusion body.
abstract: Coding sequences of ORF I from cauliflower mosaic virus were cloned in an Escherichia coli expression vector. A protein derived from this ORF was used to raise antibodies in rabbits. Immunoblots revealed that in infected plants the ORF I protein with an apparent molecular weight of 41 kDa is part of the viral inclusion bodies and is absent from purified virus particles. Amino acid sequence homologies of the ORF I protein with other proteins are discussed.
