Viral proteins that bind double-stranded RNA: countermeasures against host antiviral responses.

ABSTRACT: Several animal viruses encode proteins that bind double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to counteract host dsRNA-dependent antiviral responses. This article discusses the structure and function of the dsRNA-binding proteins of influenza A virus and Ebola viruses (EBOVs).
