3cz3 is a 8 chain structure with sequence from Chrysanthemum aspermy virus. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
[2B_TAV] Acts as suppressor of RNA-mediated gene silencing, also known as post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS), a mechanism of plant viral defense that limits the accumulation of viral RNAs. Forms a homodimer to measure siRNA duplex in a length-preferencemode. Binds to both siRNA duplexes (19bp) and long siRNA duplexes (30bp).[1][2][3]
