Proteomics (HCV)
Hepatitis C NS3 Protein Studied
Published in Hepatitis Weekly, March 1st, 1999
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3 protein contains at least three enzymatic activities: NS2-3 protease, NS3 serine protease, and NTPase/RNA helicase. It has been shown that NS2/3 cleavage is mediated by NS2-3 protease, whereas NS3 serine protease is responsible for the other four cleavage sites of the nonstructural (NS) region.
In this study, I. Shoji and colleagues from Japan's National Institute of Infectious Diseases showed that the internal cleavage of NS3 protein produced two products of 49 kDa (NS3a) and 23 kDa (NS3b) when the entire NS3 region (aa 1027-1657)...
