The invention belongs to the technical field of photodynamic gene therapy, particularly relating to a photosensitizer binding protein and polypeptide and application thereof. In the invention, the photosensitizer binding protein is screened from a human liver cDNA (complementary Deoxyribonucleic Acid) phage display library. The binding protein is a human eukaryotic translation elongation factor (eEF1A1) protein and a protein molecule which is 70 to 80 percent similar to the protein in protein structure; the photosensitizer binding polypeptide is eEF1A1 C terminal 25aa and polypeptide which is70 to 80 percent similar to the 25aa in amino acid sequence. The photosensitizer binding protein can be bound with a porphyrin type photosensitizer in vitro and has an effect of enriching the porphyrin type photosensitizer in vivo; photosensitizer binding protein genes are transfected to various mammalian cells through adenoviruses, slow viruses or other modes; and a better photodynamic therapy effect is produced after artificial adjustment and control over inducible expression. In addition, the photosensitizer binding protein and polypeptide (PSP) provide a valuable reference for developing a photosensitizer prodrug and designing the specifically targeted photosensitizer.

The present application relates to papaya plants having increased resistance to the papaya ringspot virus as compared to a wild type plant due to a mutation in the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4e and/or eukaryotic translation initiation factor iso4e gene leading to non-functional eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4e and/or eukaryotic translation initiation factor iso4e proteins. Methods of producing such papaya plants having increased resistance to the papaya ringspot virus are described.

Bacterial packaging strains useful for generating recombinant double-stranded RNA nucleocapsids (rdsRNs) are provided. The packaging strains are useful for the production of RNA encoding vaccine antigens, bioactive proteins, immunoregulatory proteins, antisense RNAs, and catalytic RNAs in eukaryotic cells or tissues.
