DomainRNA recognition is mediated by a convoluted intramolecular fold of the TPR repeats (TPR eddy), which scaffolds unique additional helices that form an RNA binding cleft. {ECO:0000250}.
FunctionInterferon-induced antiviral RNA-binding protein that specifically binds single-stranded RNA bearing a 5'-triphosphate group (PPP-RNA), thereby acting as a sensor of viral single- stranded RNAs and inhibiting expression of viral messenger RNAs. Single-stranded PPP-RNAs, which lack 2'-O-methylation of the 5' cap and bear a 5'-triphosphate group instead, are specific from viruses, providing a molecular signature to distinguish between self and non-self mRNAs by the host during viral infection. Directly binds PPP-RNA in a non-sequence-specific manner. Viruses evolved several ways to evade this restriction system such as encoding their own 2'-O-methylase for their mRNAs or by stealing host cap containing the 2'-O-methylation (cap snatching mechanism). Exhibits antiviral activity against several viruses including human papilloma and hepatitis C viruses. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19008854, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19416887, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21976647, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23334420}.

SubunitComponent of an interferon-dependent multiprotein complex, at least composed of IFIT1, IFIT2 and IFIT3. Interacts (via TPR repeats 4-7) with EEF1A1 (By similarity). Interacts with EIF3C (By similarity). Interacts with IFIT2 and IFIT3. Interacts (via TPR repeats 1-4) with RPL15. Interacts with TMEM173/MITA and disrupts its interaction with MAVS or TBK1. Interacts with EIF3E. Interacts (via TPR repeat 2) with E1 proteins of HPV types 11, 18 and 3 and this interaction blocks E1 helicase activity and viral replication. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16023166, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19008854, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19416887, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21190939, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21612406, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21642987}.
