摘要
Gene silencing (RNA silencing) plays a fundamental role in antiviral defense in plants, fungi and invertebrates. Viruses encode proteins that suppress gene silencing to counter host defense. Viral suppressors of RNA silencing (VSRs) have been identified from almost all plant virus genera and some viruses of insects and mammals. Recent studies have revealed that VSRs counter host defense and interfere with host gene regulation by interacting with RNA or important components of the RNA silencing pathway. Here, we review the current understanding of the complex mechanisms of VSRs that have been revealed by recent studies.
