The Enigmatic Alphavirus Non-Structural Protein 3 (nsP3) Revealing Its Secrets at Last
Alphaviruses encode 4 non-structural proteins (nsPs), most of which have well-understood functions in capping and membrane association (nsP1), polyprotein processing and RNA helicase activity (nsP2) and as RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (nsP4). The function of nsP3 has been more difficult to pin down and it has long been referred to as the more enigmatic of the nsPs. The protein comprises three d...
متن کاملInteractions of Alphavirus nsP3 Protein with Host Proteins
Alphaviruses are members of the Togaviridae family and are grouped into two categories: arthritogenic and encephalitic. Arthritogenic alphavirus infections, as the name implies, are associated with arthritic outcomes while encephalitic alphavirus infections can lead to encephalitic outcomes in the infected host. Of the non-structural proteins (nsPs) that the viruses code for, nsP3 is the least ...
متن کاملStructural Basis of the High Affinity Interaction between the Alphavirus Nonstructural Protein-3 (nsP3) and the SH3 Domain of Amphiphysin-2.
We show that a peptide from Chikungunya virus nsP3 protein spanning residues 1728-1744 binds the amphiphysin-2 (BIN1) Src homology-3 (SH3) domain with an unusually high affinity (Kd 24 nm). Our NMR solution complex structure together with isothermal titration calorimetry data on several related viral and cellular peptide ligands reveal that this exceptional affinity originates from interactions...

متن کاملRevealing the Secrets of David Parnas
Those of us in the fast-changing field of computing often dismiss anything written more than five years ago as obsolete. Yet several decades-old papers by David L. Parnas [1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8] are as timely as those published in recent issues of the top journals. Parnas articulates the timeless software design concepts known as information hiding and abstract interfaces. Most programmers would des...
