Activating Compound | Comment | Organism | Structure |
---|---|---|---|
additional information | protease domain of the NS3 protein greatly enhances both the direct and functional binding of RNA to NS3. Electrostatics play an important role in this process, protease domain is the most positively charged region of the NS3 protein and it provides an electrostatic potential that exceeds even that of the positively charged ATPase site on the protein. Protease domain is required for RNA unwinding by NS3 | Hepacivirus C |
Application | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
medicine | NS3 protease domain is essential for the process of viral RNA replication and, given its electrostatic contribution to RNA binding, it may also assist in packaging of the viral RNA | Hepacivirus C |

into vectors pET15b and pET-SUMO | Hepacivirus C |
Protein Variants | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
additional information | protease deletion constructs of the helicase domain NS3hel(deltaN166) and NS3hel(deltaN188), which are missing 166 and 188 amino acids, respectively, from the N-terminus of the NS3 protein. NS3hel(deltaN188) binds TS34 RNA, RNA binding by NS3hel(deltaN166) is not detectable | Hepacivirus C |
