Structural highlights

Function

P35_NPVAC Functions as an inhibitor of the host RNA interference antiviral response. Inhibits the insect host cell apoptotic response initiated by the viral infection. Blocks as well the activity of members of the caspase family of proteases. Required for late and very late gene expression.^{[1] [2] [3]}
