• function: Weak suppressor of RNA-mediated gene silencing, also known as post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS), a mechanism of plant viral defense that performs sequence-specific inhibition of viral mRNAs expression. This could be used by the virus to infect efficiently the host the meristem cells.
• Tobacco rattle virus 16K silencing suppressor binds ARGONAUTE 4 and inhibits formation of RNA silencing complexes.
  Fernández-Calvino, The Journal of general virology 2016 (PubMed)
  • GeneRIF: 16K failed to bind small RNAs, although it interacted with Nicotiana benthamiana ARGONAUTE 4, as revealed by bimolecular fluorescence complementation and immunoprecipitation assays.
• Functional characterization and subcellular localization of the 16K cysteine-rich suppressor of gene silencing protein of tobacco rattle virus.
  Ghazala, The Journal of general virology 2008 (PubMed)
  • GeneRIF: In this study, the authors show that 16K suppresses RNA silencing in green fluorescent protein (GFP)-transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana plants using an Agrobacterium-mediated transient assay.
• Immunocapture of dsRNA-bound proteins provides insight into Tobacco rattle virus replication complexes and reveals Arabidopsis DRB2 to be a wide-spectrum antiviral effector

  • “...VRCs. Detection of TRV coat protein (CP, Uniprot Q88897) and 16k suppressor of silencing (Uniprot Q77JX3) in B2:GFP IPs ( Figure2 ) also suggests that these viral proteins, not known to participate in replication, associate directly or indirectly to dsRNA. Although unlikely, we cannot at this...”
  • “...RP27a : AT1G23410; RUP1 : AT3G45570; TRV RdRP: Q9J942; TRV CP: Q88897; and TRV 16k: Q77JX3. Supplemental data The following materials are available in the online version of this article.
