== Function ==

~~FMDV~~ 3C has ~~also~~ been shown to ~~have a number~~ of ~~reported functions on the host cell~~. ~~This includes~~ inhibition of host cell protein synthesis by cleavage of translation initiation factors eIF4A, eIF4G, ~~as well as proteolytic cleavage Histone H3~~, ~~NEMO~~, ~~SAM68~~, and ~~microtubulin associated proteins~~.

The 3C only known function of the viral 3C protease was processing of the viral polyprotein, until recent research discovered interactions with host cell proteins. The 3C protease has been shown to induce proteolytic cleavage of Histone H3. As well as rapid inhibition of host cell protein synthesis by cleavage of translation initiation factors eIF4A, eIF4G between residues E143 and V144.

3C is also able to induce Golgi Fragmentation, causing fragmentation of early, medial, and late Golgi compartments with the most pronounced effect being on early Golgi compartments. Research has found that the Golgi fragments were still able to receive membrane proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum however they were unable to transfer protein to the plasma membrane.

3C has been shown to be able to cleave the C terminus of the nuclear RNA binding protein SAM 68 resulting in redistribution to the cytoplasm. This was particularly interesting because of the fact that Sam68 has been shown to effect FMDV post entry events by interacting with the internal ribosomal entry site within the 5′ non-translated region of the FMDV genome, and Sam68 knockdown decreased FMDV IRES-driven activity in vitro suggesting that it could modulate translation of the viral genome.
