Summary

Description
English: The RNA silencing suppressor p19 from the tomato bushy stunt virus, rendered from PDB ID 1R9F. The protein, which forms a functional dimer, is shown colored from blue at the N-terminus to red at the C-terminus; the gray dotted line indicates the dimerization interface. The interaction surface formed from the resulting beta sheet is positively charged and binds double-stranded RNAs of 19 to 21 base pairs. Plants use RNA silencing as a defense mechanism against viruses; the p19 protein serves as a viral counter-defense that specifically binds siRNAs and suppresses the silencing machinery.
