| Type | Family |
| Description | This family consists of several tobravirus 2B proteins. It is known that the 2B protein is required for transmission by both Paratrichodorus pachydermus and Paratrichodorus anemones nematodes []. Transmission of the tobraviruses Tobacco rattle virus by trichodorid vector nematodes requires the viral coat protein (CP) and the 2B protein, a nonstructural protein encoded by RNA2, the smaller of the two viral genomic RNAs. It is hypothesized that the 2B protein functions by interacting with a small, flexible domain located at the C terminus of the CP, forming a bridge between the virus particle and the internal surface of the vector nematode feeding apparatus []. |
