Structure of the RNA-Binding Domain of Nodamura Virus Protein B2, a Suppressor of RNA Interference,
27 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
Protein B2 from Nodamura virus (NMV B2), a member of the Nodavirus family, acts as a suppressor of RNA interference (RNAi). The N-terminal domain of NMV B2, consisting of residues 1-79, recognizes double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). The 2.5 A crystal structure of the RNA-binding domain of NMV B2 shows a dimeric, helical bundle structure. The structure shows a conserved set of RNA-binding residues compared with flock...
