Correction: Dimerization-Induced Allosteric Changes of the Oxyanion-Hole Loop Activate the Pseudorabies Virus Assemblin pUL26N, a Herpesvirus Serine Protease

چکیده
There is an error in the final sentence of the paragraph titled " Monomer-dimer equilibrium " in the Results section. The correct sentence is: The dissociation constants with and without MgCl2 can be estimated to 50μM and 200μM, respectively (S5 Fig). Copyright: © 2016 Zühlsdorf et al.

Dimerization-Induced Allosteric Changes of the Oxyanion-Hole Loop Activate the Pseudorabies Virus Assemblin pUL26N, a Herpesvirus Serine Protease
Herpesviruses encode a characteristic serine protease with a unique fold and an active site that comprises the unusual triad Ser-His-His. The protease is essential for viral replication and as such constitutes a promising drug target. In solution, a dynamic equilibrium exists between an inactive monomeric and an active dimeric form of the enzyme, which is believed to play a key regulatory role ...
متن کاملActivation of the West Nile virus NS3 protease: molecular dynamics evidence for a conformational selection mechanism.
The flaviviral nonstructural 3 protease (NS3pro) is essential for virus replication and is therefore a pharmaceutically relevant target to fight Dengue and West Nile virus (WNV). NS3pro is a chymotrypsin-like serine protease which requires a polypeptide cofactor (NS2B) for activation. Recent X-ray crystallography studies have led to the suggestion that the substrate binds to the two-component N...
متن کاملSubstrate modulation of enzyme activity in the herpesvirus protease family.
The herpesvirus proteases are an example in which allosteric regulation of an enzyme activity is achieved through the formation of quaternary structure. Here, we report a 1.7 A resolution structure of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus protease in complex with a hexapeptide transition state analogue that stabilizes the dimeric state of the enzyme. Extended substrate binding sites are induc...
متن کاملA trypsin-like serine protease is involved in pseudorabies virus invasion through the basement membrane barrier of porcine nasal respiratory mucosa
Several alphaherpesviruses breach the basement membrane during mucosal invasion. In the present study, the role of proteases in this process was examined. The serine protease-specific inhibitor AEBSF inhibited penetration of the basement membrane by the porcine alphaherpesvirus pseudorabies virus (PRV) by 88.1% without affecting lateral spread. Inhibitors of aspartic-, cysteine-, and metallopro...
متن کاملThe herpesvirus proteases as targets for antiviral chemotherapy.
Viruses of the family Herpesviridae are responsible for a diverse set of human diseases. The available treatments are largely ineffective, with the exception of a few drugs for treatment of herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections. For several members of this DNA virus family, advances have been made recently in the biochemistry and structural biology of the essential viral protease, revealing com...
