An RNA cap (nucleoside‐2′‐O‐)‐methyltransferase in the flavivirus RNA polymerase NS5: crystal structure and functional characterization

TL;DR: The results provide a structural basis for the rational design of drugs against the emerging flaviviruses and suggest that the latter is a specific cap‐binding site.
Journal ArticleDOI

The flavivirus polymerase as a target for drug discovery

TL;DR: An overview of the current knowledge regarding Flavivirus RdRp function and structure is given as it represents an attractive target for drug design and ongoing approaches of in vitro and cell-based screening programs aiming at the discovery of nucleosidic and non-nucleosidics inhibitors targeting Flaviv virus RdRps are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The RNA helicase, nucleotide 5'-triphosphatase, and RNA 5'-triphosphatase activities of Dengue virus protein NS3 are Mg2+-dependent and require a functional Walker B motif in the helicase catalytic core.

TL;DR: DV RTPase seems to belong to a new class of Mg2+-dependent RTPases, which use the active center of the helicase/NTPase catalytic core in conjunction with elements in the C-terminal domain.
Journal ArticleDOI

A structural basis for the inhibition of the NS5 dengue virus mRNA 2'-O-methyltransferase domain by ribavirin 5'-triphosphate.

TL;DR: Detailed atomic interactions provide the first structural insights into the inhibition of a viral enzyme by ribavirin 5′-triphosphate, as well as the basis for rational drug design of antiviral agents with improved specificity against the emerging flaviviruses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Purification of GSK-3 by affinity chromatography on immobilized axin

TL;DR: This single step purification method provides a convenient tool to follow the status of GSK-3 (protein level, phosphorylation state, kinase activity) under various physiological settings and provides a simple and efficient way to purify large amounts of active recombinant or native G SK-3 for screening purposes.
