Gene: B2 (FHV) Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function [B2_FHV] Binds double-strand RNA (dsRNA) with high affinity. Suppresses the host RNA silencing-based antiviral response. Publication Abstract from PubMed We report the structure of the flock house virus B2 protein, a potent suppressor of RNA interference (RNAi) in animals and plants. The B2 protein is a homodimer in solution and contains three alpha-helices per monomer. Chemical shift perturbation shows that an antiparallel arrangement of helices (alpha2/alpha2') forms an elongated binding interface with double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). This implies a novel mode of dsRNA recognition and provides insights into the mechanism of RNAi suppression by B2. The structure of the flock house virus B2 protein, a viral suppressor of RNA interference, shows a novel mode of double-stranded RNA recognition.,Lingel A, Simon B, Izaurralde E, Sattler M EMBO Rep. 2005 Dec;6(12):1149-55.
