__TOC__ '''3D structure of insect Flock House virus protein B2 complexed to siRNA''' ==Background== [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_Silencing RNA silencing] is a gene inactivation system in many eukaryotes that relies on tiny RNAs as the targeting molecules. One function of RNA silencing, which is also called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-transcriptional_gene_silencing post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS)] or [[RNA Interference|RNA interference]] (RNAi), is to act in surveillance against molecular parasites, such as viruses. Double-stranded RNA triggers the RNA silencing pathway and many viruses use a double-stranded RNA to replicate their genome. Various viruses have developed evasion techniques to circumvent this surveillance system. In one such evasion strategy, Flock House virus protein B2 suppresses the insect's anti-viral RNA-induced silencing response<ref>PMID:12016316</ref>. <br> siRNAs are generally characterized by their short length (21–26 nt), 2 nt, 3′ overhanging ends, and 5′ phosphate groups. The most efficient silencing is obtained with siRNA duplexes composed of 21-nt sense and 21-nt antisense strands, paired in a manner to have a 2-nt 3' overhang (see [http://www.rockefeller.edu/labheads/tuschl/sirna.html the Tuschl lab's guide] for designing siRNAs)<ref>PMID:11726523</ref><ref>PMID:18280529</ref>. <br> A structural study <ref>PMID:16228003</ref> has revealed how Flock House virus protein B2 directly binds double-stranded RNAs that are the size of siRNAs and longer. ==Results== {{Structure |PDB= 2az0 |SIZE=400|SCENE=User:Wayne_Decatur/Flock_house_virus_B2_protein_Suppression_of_RNA_Silencing/B2view1default/2|CAPTION= insect FHV B2 and siRNA (2az0), resolution 2.60&Aring; (<scene name='User:Wayne_Decatur/Flock_house_virus_B2_protein_Suppression_of_RNA_Silencing/B2view1default/2'>initial scene</scene>) |SITE= |LIGAND= |ACTIVITY= |GENE= |DOMAIN= |RELATEDENTRY= |RESOURCES=<span class='plainlinks'>[http://oca.weizmann.ac.il/oca-docs/fgij/fg.htm?mol=2az0 FirstGlance], [http://oca.weizmann.ac.il/oca-bin/ocaids?id=2az0 OCA], [http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbsum/2az0 PDBsum], [http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/explore.do?structureId=2az0 RCSB]</span> }} The X-ray crystal structure of <scene name='User:Wayne_Decatur/Flock_house_virus_B2_protein_Suppression_of_RNA_Silencing/Rna_protein/2'>Flock House virus protein B2 complexed with double-stranded RNA</scene> includes both {{User:Wayne Decatur/Template ColorKey Composition lcprotein}} and {{Template:ColorKey Composition RNA}} in the complex.

A '''<font color = 'cyan'>proline (P12)</font>''' kinks helix 1 of the monomer and the unusual feature stabilizes the non-canonical four-helix bundle. Underscoring the unusual nature of this proline is that it is found in a position highly unfavorable based on typical four-helix bundles<ref>PMID:2031185</ref> and that it causes programs for predicting secondary structure to fail to predict the observed helix 1<ref>PMID:8743703</ref>. <scene name='User:Wayne_Decatur/Flock_house_virus_B2_protein_Suppression_of_RNA_Silencing/B2viewinterface/25'>B2 contacts the phosphate backbone and ribose sugars to bind the RNA in a sequence independent manner along the whole length of the protein span</scene>. <br> Although there is some interaction with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA deep and narrow major groove], the majority of the interaction by B2 with RNA is with the shallow and wide minor groove.<ref>PMID:8743703</ref>. *B2 makes major groove contacts using '''<font color = 'darkorange'>two basic residues (K47 and R54)</font>''' to contact the phosphate backbone. *Continuing out from the major groove contacts, B2 makes minor groove contacts using '''<font color = 'aqua'>residues 40, 44, 55, and 58</font>'''. *Finally, the contacts bridge the minor groove and B2 makes contacts in the minor groove on the opposite strand using '''<font color = 'red'>residues 33, 36, 37, and 62</font>''', which interact with both the phosphates and 2'-hydroxyl. ==Conclusions== FHV B2 functions as a dimer to bind to one face of double-stranded RNA in a sequence-independent manner. Though the four-helix bundle is a common motif (see [[1ax8]],[[1a7m]],[[1c03]],[[1urq]], [[2vrz]] and [[:Category:Four-helix_bundle|other four-helix bundle structures]], for examples)<ref>PMID: 7649401</ref>, recognition of the double-stranded RNA by the B2 four-helix bundle revealed novel mode of RNA binding. Most likely, the B2 protein of Nodamura virus adopts a similar structure as almost all the RNA-contacting residues and Proline 12 are conserved between the two proteins despite marginal sequence similarity <ref>PMID: 11457991</ref>. The solved structure shows how B2 could directly bind to siRNAs and block use of these intermediates in a defense response to viral attack. Additionally, the structure data and biochemical characterization of B2 binding is consistent with double-stranded RNA longer than 18 bps binding multiple B2 dimers. Such a protective coating of vial double-stranded RNA would inhibit processing by Dicer in the host cell. In conclusion, the biochemical and structural characterization suggests B2 could act at two stages of RNA silencing. B2 can inhibit both cleavage of dsRNA by Dicer as well as siRNA incorporation into the RNA-induced silencing complex and thus aid viral infection in two ways. ==About this Structure== 2AZ0 is a [[Protein complex]] structure of sequences from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nodaviridae Flock House Virus].
