Influenza neuraminidase is a glycoprotein in the influenza virus membrane. Before an infected cell can release the virus into its surroundings to infect new cells, neuraminidase must cleave sialic acid from both virus and cellular glycoproteins. Neuraminidase is a homotetramer -- here we will examine only one monomer.

Because of its important role in virus infectivity, several anti-viral drugs have been designed to target neuraminidase, including oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza). Oseltamavir binding to neuraminidase moves glutamate 276 towards histidine 274, making more room for oseltamavir to bind tightly (PDB entry 2hu4). But, in a common mutant (H274Y), a larger tyrosine replaces the smaller histidine 274, preventing glutamate 276 from moving to make room for oseltamavir binding, resulting in weaker drug binding and thus resistance ('''PDB entry''' [[3cl0]]). Luckily the H274Y neuraminidase mutant is still susceptible to zanamivir, which is smaller than oseltamavir

This Sandbox is Reserved from May 10, 2015, through July 31, 2015 for use by the class Protein 3D Structure Visualization & Structural Bioinformatics taught by Eric Martz and Keiichi Namba at Osaka University, Japan. This reservation includes Sandbox Reserved 1 through Sandbox Reserved 10. Syllabus.
To get started:
  • Click the 'edit this page tab at the top. Save the page after each step, then edit it again.
  • Click the 3D button (when editing, above the wikitext box) to insert Jmol.
  • show the Scene authoring tools, create a molecular scene, and save it. Copy the green link into the page.
  • Add a description of your scene. Use the buttons above the wikitext box for bold, italics, links, headlines, etc.

This is the DNA-binding domain of the gal4 transcriptional regulatory protein, bound to DNA.

(atoms have van der Waals radii).

  • The DNA-binding surface of the protein has to bind to the negatively charged DNA phosphate backbone.

(Positive, Negative)
