Flock House virus B2-dsRNA Complex (P4122)
Overview
As a counter-defense against antiviral RNA silencing during infection, the, insect Flock House virus (FHV) expresses the silencing suppressor protein, B2. Biochemical experiments show that B2 binds to double-stranded RNA, (dsRNA) without regard to length and inhibits cleavage of dsRNA by Dicer, in vitro. A cocrystal structure reveals that a B2 dimer forms a four-helix, bundle that binds to one face of an A-form RNA duplex independently of, sequence. These results suggest that B2 blocks both cleavage of the FHV, genome by Dicer and incorporation of FHV small interfering RNAs into the, RNA-induced silencing complex.
