His6-SARS-CoV (PLpro), SARS Coronavirus recombinant
Catalog number: SBB-DE0024, 50 μg
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus papain-like protease (SARS-CoV His6-PLpro) is involved in the processing of the viral polyprotein. Proteolytic processing of the coronavirus replicase poly-protein is essential for generating a functional virus replication complex. PLpro is able to hydrolyze both ISG15-Rhodamine110 or diubiquitin/tetra-ubiquitin substrates, but is very inefficient when processing mono-Ub conjugates or synthetic peptide substrates. This PLpro is N-terminally His6 tagged and expressed in E.coli. [1][2][3][4]
Description
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus papain-like protease (SARS-CoV PLpro) is involved in the processing of the viral polyprotein. Proteolytic processing of the coronavirus replicase poly-protein is essential for generating a functional virus replication complex. PLpro possesses both deubiquitinating or deISGylating activity and can process Lys-48 and Lys-63 linked polyubiquitin chains (free chains or from cellular substrates). It works in concert together with nsp4 in the assembly of virally-induced cytoplasmic double-membrane vesicles necessary for viral replication. It strongly antagonizes the innate immune induction of type I interferon by blocking the phosphorylation, dimerization and therefore the nuclear translocation of host IRF3. In addition, it prevents also host NF-kappa-B signaling.
