X-ray Structure at 1.75 A Resolution of a Norovirus Protease Linked to an Active Site Directed Peptide Inhibitor
Structural highlights
FunctionPOLG_SOUV3 Protein p48 may play a role in viral replication by interacting with host VAPA, a vesicle-associated membrane protein that plays a role in SNARE-mediated vesicle fusion. This interaction may target replication complex to intracellular membranes (By similarity). NTPase presumably plays a role in replication. Despite having similarities with helicases, does not seem to display any helicase activity (By similarity). Protein P22 may play a role in targeting replication complex to intracellular membranes. Viral genome-linked protein is covalently linked to the 5'-end of the positive-strand, negative-strand genomic RNAs and subgenomic RNA. Acts as a genome-linked replication primer. May recruit ribosome to viral RNA thereby promoting viral proteins translation (By similarity). 3C-like protease processes the polyprotein: 3CLpro-RdRp is first released by autocleavage, then all other proteins are cleaved. May cleave polyadenylate-binding protein thereby inhibiting cellular translation.[PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00870] RNA-directed RNA polymerase replicates genomic and antigenomic RNA by recognizing replications specific signals. Transcribes also a subgenomic mRNA by initiating RNA synthesis internally on antigenomic RNA. This sgRNA codes for structural proteins. Catalyzes the covalent attachment VPg with viral RNAs (By similarity).[PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00539] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Viral replication requires a 3C cysteine protease that cleaves a 200 kDa viral polyprotein into its constituent functional proteins. Here we describe the X-ray structure of the Southampton norovirus 3C protease (SV3CP) bound to an active site-directed peptide inhibitor (MAPI) which has been refined at 1.7 A resolution. The inhibitor, acetyl-Glu-Phe-Gln-Leu-Gln-X, which is based on the most rapidly cleaved recognition sequence in the 200 kDa polyprotein substrate, reacts covalently through its propenyl ethyl ester group (X) with the active site nucleophile, Cys 139. The structure permits, for the first time, the identification of substrate recognition and binding groups in a noroviral 3C protease and thus provides important new information for the development of antiviral prophylactics.
