Crystal structure of the unique RNA-binding domain of the influenza virus NS1 protein

The nonstructural protein (NS1 protein) of the influenza A virus binds to several types of RNAs. X-ray crystallographic analysis of the RNA-binding domain reveals a unique topology for the monomer as well as a novel six-helix structure for the dimer.
