Mol. Biol. 182:183-189(1985). CC -!- FUNCTION: Binds double-strand RNA (dsRNA) with high affinity. CC Suppresses the host RNA silencing-based antiviral response. CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P68831}. CC -!- SUBUNIT: Homodimer. Interacts with RNA-directed RNA polymerase. CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P68831}. CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Host mitochondrion CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P68831}. CC -!- DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Expressed at high levels early in the viral CC replication cycle. CC -!- DOMAIN: The dsRNA-binding region is required for suppression of RNA CC silencing. The N-terminus is involved in homodimerization. The alpha2 CC helices of the dimer bind parallel to the stem of the dsRNA helix. CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P68831}. CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: Encoded on a subgenomic RNA (RNA3) synthesized during CC replication and which is co-terminal with RNA1. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the nodaviridae B2 protein family. CC {ECO:0000305}.
