More | HRV-C15 2Apro consists of two domains: an N-terminal domain comprising of a four-stranded sheet (bI2, cI, eI2 and fI) and a C-terminal domain made up of a six-stranded beta-barrel (aII, bII1, cII2, dII, eII and fII). The N-terminal domain is linked to the C-terminal domain by a long inter-domain loop (residues 40-56). Within the N-terminal domain, a helical turn (Ala17-Leu19) connects cI to eI2. In the C-terminal domain, an antiparallel beta-hairpin, formed by the bII2 and cII1 strands, is located next to the six-stranded beta-barrel. Furthermore, this beta-hairpin also makes close contacts with residues from the N-terminal domain. Three highly conserved residues, His18, Asp34 and Cys105, found in 2Apro from all enteroviruses, form the active site of HRV-C15 2Apro | rhinovirus C15 |

additional information | the enzyme structure contains a conserved His-Asp-Cys catalytic triad and a Zn2+-binding site. Comparison with other 2Apro structures from enteroviruses reveals that the substrate-binding cleft of 2Apro from HRV-C15 exhibits a more open conformation, which presumably favours substrate binding, structure comparisons, overview | rhinovirus C15 |
physiological function | the 2A protease (2Apro) of human rhinoviruses (HRVs) plays important roles in the propagation of the virus and the modulation of host signal pathways to facilitate viral replication. The 2A protease (2Apro) specifically cleaves homologues of the human eukaryotic initiation factors eIF4GI and eIF4GII, which are required for cap-dependent mRNA translation by the ribosome. EIF4G is part of the initiation-factor complex eIF4F, which comprises the unwinding protease eIF4A and the cap-binding protein eIF4E. The complex recruits capped cellular mRNA to the ribosome for translation. Cleavage of eIF4G by HRV 2Apro impairs this process and shuts down cap-dependent translation of mRNA. Since the initiation of protein synthesis by picornaviruses is not cap-dependent, but requires the internal ribosome-entry site (IRES) present in the 5'-UTR of the picornavirus mRNA, shutting down the host cap-dependent translation machinery does not affect the synthesis of picornavirus proteins | rhinovirus C15 |
