We are deeply saddened by the passing of Amos Bairoch (1957–2025), the creator of PROSITE. We wish to dedicate our latest paper, published shortly before his death, to him. He will always be a source of inspiration to us.
Our deepest condolences go out to his family and friends, and to all those who had the privilege of working with him. Rest in peace, Amos. Your work will live on long after you are gone.
Amos Bairoch

Data class Domain;
Predictors PROSITE; PS51876; PV_NPRO
Name Pestivirus N-terminal protease (Npro) domain
Function The pestivirus N-terminal protease Npro is a cysteine autoprotease that cleaves between its own C-terminus and the N-terminus of the core protein. Following the first cleavage reaction, Npro does not possess any proteolytic trans-activity but acts as a viral immediate effector to modulate the host cell's antiviral defenses.
Scope(s) Viruses
Pestivirus
Example(s) P19711;
