Activating Compound

Activating Compound Comment Organism Structure
additional information both auto-cleavage and NS3 protease activity show absolute requirement for cysteine residues 1123, 1125 and 1171 within NS3. Cysteine 922 (within NS2) is only required for NS2/3 auto-cleavage activity and histidine 1175 is only required for NS3 activity. Complete NS3 protease domain (including the C-terminal alpha-helix) is required for NS2/3 auto-cleavage, the activity of the NS3 protease is not essential Hepacivirus C

Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
minimal precursor (residues 904–1206 of the hepatitis C virus polyprotein, corresponding to the C-terminal cytoplasmic domain of NS2 and the entire protease domain of NS3) introduced into vector pET23a and expressed as an insoluble protein in Escherichia coli strain BL21 (DE3) pLysS Hepacivirus C

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
C1123A reduces NS2/3 auto-cleavage and NS3 protease activity Hepacivirus C
C1125A reduces NS2/3 auto-cleavage and NS3 protease activity Hepacivirus C
C1171A reduces NS2/3 auto-cleavage and NS3 protease activity Hepacivirus C
C1185A has no effect on NS2/3 auto-cleavage and NS3 protease activity Hepacivirus C
C922A reduces NS2/3 auto-cleavage, but has no effect on NS3 protease activity Hepacivirus C
DELTA1197 reduces both protease activities to undetectable levels Hepacivirus C
H1175A reduces NS3 protease activity by 70%, but has no effect on NS2/3 auto-cleavage. NS3 protease activity of mutant H1175A is 3fold more sensitive to zinc chelation than wild-type in the presence of the NS4A peptide, but is indistinguishable from wild-type in the absence of the NS4A peptide Hepacivirus C
H952A totally abolishes auto-cleavage of the NS2/3 precursor Hepacivirus C
L1026P/A1027P totally abolishes auto-cleavage of the NS2/3 precursor Hepacivirus C
S1165A completely abrogates NS3 protease activity, but has no effect on NS2/3 auto-cleavage Hepacivirus C

Inhibitors

Inhibitors Comment Organism Structure
1,10-phenanthroline inhibits NS2/3 auto-cleavage and NS3 protease activity Hepacivirus C
EDTA inhibits NS2/3 auto-cleavage and NS3 protease activity Hepacivirus C
additional information EGTA and zinc metalloprotease inhibitors bestatin, phosphoramidon and thiorphan have no effect on NS2/3 auto-cleavage and NS3 protease activity. No inhibitory effect of the NS4A peptide on NS2/3 auto-cleavage, additionally the NS4A peptide does not significantly affect the sensitivity of NS2/3 autocleavage to zinc chelation, but has a marked effect on NS3 protease activity, rendering this activity approximately 3fold more resistant to zinc chelation Hepacivirus C

Metals/Ions

Metals/Ions Comment Organism Structure
Zn2+ both auto-cleavage and NS3 protease activity are zinc-dependent. NS2/3 auto-cleavage activity is more sensitive to zinc chelation by 1,10-phenanthroline than the NS3 protease activity Hepacivirus C
