PROSITE documentation PDOC51692Pestivirus nonstructural protein 2 (NS2) protease domain profile
Pestiviruses [E1] are animal pathogens that are recognized as a separate genus of the family Flaviviridae. The pestiviral genome is a single-stranded RNA of positive polarity. It is translated into a large polyprotein, which is cotranslationally and posttranslationally processed by viral and cellular proteases. Pestivirus nonstructural protein 2 (NS2) is predicted to have a multidomain organization. The C-terminal-most domain of NS2 is a cysteine autoprotease responsible for NS2-3 cleavage. The catalytic triad is formed by His, Glu, and Cys. The pestivirus NS2 protease domain contains five Cys and one His organized in a linear fashion, suggesting the presence of a mononuclear ZnB site [1]. The pestivirus NS2 protease domain forms peptidase family C74 [E2].
The profile we developed covers the entire pestivirus NS2 protease domain.
