molecular function |
| GO:0003723 | | RNA binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with an RNA molecule or a portion thereof. |
| GO:0003676 | | nucleic acid binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any nucleic acid. |
| GO:0030414 | | peptidase inhibitor activity | | Stops, prevents or reduces the activity of a peptidase, any enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis peptide bonds. |
biological process |
| GO:0030683 | | evasion or tolerance by virus of host immune response | | Any process, either active or passive, by which a virus avoids the effects of the host organism's immune response. The host is defined as the larger of the organisms involved in a symbiotic interaction. |
| GO:0010466 | | negative regulation of peptidase activity | | Any process that stops or reduces the rate of peptidase activity, the hydrolysis of peptide bonds within proteins. |
| GO:0039580 | | suppression by virus of host PKR activity | | Any process in which a virus stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of host PKR (protein kinase regulated by RNA) activity. Activation of PKR involves dsRNA binding followed by autophosphorylation. Phosphorylated PKR can then phosphorylate downstream targets such as the translation initiation factor eIF2 to inhibit protein synthesis. Viruses encode a number of mechanisms to inhibit the host antiviral response via PKR, including direct interaction with PKR, promoting degradation of PKR or altering the subcellular location of PKR. |
| GO:0039503 | | suppression by virus of host innate immune response | | Any process in which a virus stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the innate immune response of the host organism, the host's first line of defense. |
| GO:0039502 | | suppression by virus of host type I interferon-mediated signaling pathway | | Any process in which a virus stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of type I interferon-mediated signaling in the host organism. Type I interferons include the interferon-alpha, beta, delta, episilon, zeta, kappa, tau, and omega gene families. |
| GO:0016032 | | viral process | | A multi-organism process in which a virus is a participant. The other participant is the host. Includes infection of a host cell, replication of the viral genome, and assembly of progeny virus particles. In some cases the viral genetic material may integrate into the host genome and only subsequently, under particular circumstances, 'complete' its life cycle. |
