English: The RNA silencing suppressor p19 from the tomato bushy stunt virus, rendered from PDB ID 1R9F. The protein forms a dimer whose two monomers are shown in blue and green. The dimer forms an interaction surface that 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.
