Enzymatic Analysis of Recombinant Japanese Encephalitis Virus NS2B(H)-NS3pro Protease with Fluorogenic Model Peptide Substrates
BACKGROUND Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), a member of the Flaviviridae family, causes around 68,000 encephalitis cases annually, of which 20-30% are fatal, while 30-50% of the recovered cases develop severe neurological sequelae. Specific antivirals for JEV would be of great importance, particularly in those cases where the infection has become persistent. Being indispensable for flaviviral...
متن کاملAntiviral activities of peptide-based covalent inhibitors of the Enterovirus 71 3C protease
Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease is a highly contagious disease caused by a range of human enteroviruses. Outbreaks occur regularly, especially in the Asia-Pacific region, putting a burden on public healthcare systems. Currently, there is no antiviral for treating this infectious disease and the only vaccines are limited to circulation in China, presenting an unmet medical need that needs to be fil...
متن کاملStructural and biochemical characterization of a fluorogenic rhodamine-labeled malarial protease substrate.
Activation of the proenzyme form of the malarial protease PfSUB-1 involves the autocatalytic cleavage of an Asp-Asn bond within the internal sequence motif (215)LVSADNIDIS(224). A synthetic decapeptide based on this sequence but with the N- and C-terminal residues replaced by cysteines (Ac-CVSADNIDIC-OH) was labeled with 5- or 6-isomers of iodoacetamidotetramethylrhodamine (IATR). The doubly la...
متن کاملA Novel Enterovirus 71 (EV71) Virulence Determinant: The 69th Residue of 3C Protease Modulates Pathogenicity
Human enterovirus type 71 (EV71), the major causative agent of hand-foot-and-mouth disease, has been known to cause fatal neurological complications. Unfortunately, the reason for neurological complications that have been seen in fatal cases of the disease and the relationship between EV71 virulence and viral genetic sequences remains largely undefined. The 3C protease (3Cpro) of EV71 plays an ...
متن کاملRecombinant Human Enterovirus 71
Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common illness of infants and young children <10 years of age. It is characterized by fever, ulcers in the oral cavity, and rashes with blisters that appear on the palm and sole. The most common causal agents of HFMD are coxsackievirus A16 (CV-A16) and human enterovirus 71 (HEV71), but other enteroviruses, including CV-A5 and CV-A10, can also cause it. W...
