Overview

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) belongs to the gamma-herpesvirinae subfamily of, the Herpesviridae. The protease domain of the assemblin protein of, herpesviruses forms a monomer-dimer equilibrium in solution. The protease, domain of EBV was expressed in Escherichia coli and its structure was, solved by X-ray crystallography to 2.3A resolution after inhibition with, diisopropyl-fluorophosphate (DFP). The overall structure confirms the, conservation of the homodimer and its structure throughout the alpha, beta, and gamma-herpesvirinae. The substrate recognition could be modelled, using information from the DFP binding, from a crystal contact, suggesting, that the substrate forms an antiparallel beta-strand extending strand, beta5, and from the comparison with the structure of a peptidomimetic, ...
