Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine the nsp2pro N-terminal domain is a novel cysteine protease fold. the C-terminal domain displays structural similarity to S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent RNA methyltransferases. This structure will significantly aid drug discovery and development efforts to combat Venezuelan equine encephalitis alphavirus and related viruses Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus

Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
DNA coding for nsP2pro (residues Met457-Cys794) amplified and cloned into vector pETBlue1 T7. Expression in Tuner DE3 (pLacI) Escherichia coli cells Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus

Crystallization (Commentary)

Crystallization (Comment) Organism
at 2.45 A resolution. Belongs to space group P212121. N-terminal domain (Asp468 to Asn603) contains the catalytic dyad formed by Cys477 and His546, organized in a protein fold. C-terminal domain (Arg604 to Ser793) contributes to substrate recognition and regulates the structure of the substrate binding cleft Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus
