Key result
The satBaMV RNA-encoded P20 protein is a nucleic-acid-binding protein that preferentially binds to satBaMV- or BaMV-related sequences at the 5' and 3' untranslated regions.
This study provides the first evidence that a plant virus satellite RNA-encoded nonstructural protein preferentially binds with nucleic acids.

Provides first evidence of satellite RNA-encoded protein binding; leaves open functional roles in plant virus replication pending higher-level studies.
Tsai et al. (1999) studied this question. P20 protein was evaluated on Nucleic acid binding activity and specificity. The satBaMV RNA-encoded P20 protein is a nucleic-acid-binding protein that preferentially binds to satBaMV- or BaMV-related sequences at the 5' and 3' untranslated regions.
