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 (Comment) | Organism |

minimal precursor (residues 9041206 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 |
