CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE REOVIRUS OUTER CAPSID PROTEIN SIGMA 3

Structural highlights
FunctionSIGM3_REOVD Stimulates translation by blocking the activation of the dsRNA-dependent protein kinase EIF2AK2/PKR, thereby inhibiting the host interferon response. Sigma3 prevents the activation of EIF2AK2 by competing with the kinase for dsRNA-binding.[1] The viral outer shell polypeptides, of which sigma-3 is one, impose structural constraints that prevent elongation of nascent transcripts by the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase lambda-3.
