Protein
Suppressor of silencing 2b
Organism
Tobacco streak virus (strain WC)
Function
Acts as suppressor of RNA-mediated gene silencing, also known as post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS), a mechanism of plant viral defense that limits the accumulation of viral RNAs. May directly interfere with the mobile silencing signal (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the cucumovirus/ilarvirus protein 2b family.
