Interferon-induced GTP-binding protein Mx1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MX1 gene.[5][6]
In mice, the interferon-inducible Mx protein is responsible for a specific antiviral state against influenza virusinfection. Furthermore, the human orthologue MxA is a major determinant for influenza viruses of animal origin.[7] The protein encoded by this gene is similar to the mouse protein as determined by its antigenic relatedness, induction conditions, physicochemical properties, and amino acid analysis. This cytoplasmic protein is a member of both the dynamin superfamily and the family of large GTPases.[6]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
