P10 (forming an incomplete T = 13/icosahedral layer of trimers) is considered important for invasion of hemipteran vectors and interacts with several host proteins (vesicle-associated membrane protein 7 (VAMP7), vesicle transport VSNARE protein (Vti1A), growth hormone-inducible transmembrane protein (Ghitm), that are proposed to play a role in the infection mechanism (Than et al., 2016). The gene discussed is GHITM; the disease is infection.
