Journal ArticleDOI

Crystal structures of human calcineurin and the human FKBP12–FK506–calcineurin complex

TL;DR: The metal-site geometry and active-site water structure suggest a catalytic mechanism involving nucleophilic attack on the substrate phosphate by a metal-activated water molecule.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Crystal Structure of Hepatitis C Virus NS3 Proteinase Reveals a Trypsin-like Fold and a Structural Zinc Binding Site

TL;DR: The structure of NS3 proteinase from HCV BK strain was determined by X-ray crystallography at 2.4 angstrom resolution and has a structural zinc-binding site and a long N-terminus that interacts with neighboring molecules by binding to a hydrophobic surface patch.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crystal structure of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of hepatitis C virus.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the unique alpha fingers might represent a common structural discriminator of the template-primer duplex that distinguishes between RNA and DNA during the replication of positive single-stranded RNA by viral RdRps.
Journal ArticleDOI

Amino acid sequence of Mirabilis antiviral protein, total synthesis of its gene and expression in Escherichia coli.

TL;DR: The complete amino acid sequence of Mirabilis antiviral protein (MAP), which is composed of 250 amino acids having a combined molecular weight of 27,833 and contains 23 lysine residues and 7 arginine residues, is determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

The essential role of C-terminal residues in regulating the activity of hepatitis C virus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase.

TL;DR: Structural comparison of the NS5B proteins indicates that the activation was caused by elimination of a unique hydrophobic interaction between the three C-terminal residues and a shallowly concave pocket consisting of thumb and palm domains.
