== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P19_CIRV P19_CIRV] Acts as a 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. Binds to short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) with high affinity. Acts as a molecular caliper to specifically select siRNAs based on the length of the duplex region of the RNA.<ref>PMID:14697199</ref> <ref>PMID:19254536</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Viral suppressors of RNA silencing (VSRSs) are a diverse group of viral proteins that have evolved to disrupt eukaryotic RNA silencing pathways, thereby contributing to viral pathogenicity. The p19 protein is a VSRS that selectively binds to short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) over microRNAs (miRNAs). Mutational analysis has identified single amino acid substitutions that reverse this selectivity through new high-affinity interactions with human miR-122. Herein, we report crystal structures of complexed p19-T111S (2.6 A), p19-T111H (2.3 A) and wild-type p19 protein (2.2 A) from the Carnation Italian ringspot virus with small interfering RNA (siRNA) ligands. Structural comparisons reveal that these mutations do not lead to major changes in p19 architecture, but instead promote subtle rearrangement of residues and solvent molecules along the p19 midline. These observations suggest p19 uses many small interactions to distinguish siRNAs from miRNAs and perturbing these interactions can create p19 variants with novel RNA-recognition properties. DATABASE: Model data are deposited in the PDB database under the accession numbers 6BJG, 6BJH and 6BJV.
