Abstract excerpt
Flock house virus (FHV) encodes a suppressor protein B2 to overcome antiviral RNA silencing during infection. Biochemical analyses have shown that a homodimer of B2 binds to double-stranded RNA to inhibit dicer-mediated cleavage of dsRNA and incorporation of small interfering RNAs into the RNA-induced silencing complex. In this study, using FHV-Nicotiana benthamiana system, we identified that the charged amino...
