DENGUE VIRUS RNA HELICASE
Overview
Dengue fever is an important emerging public health concern, with several, million viral infections occurring annually, for which no effective, therapy currently exists. The NS3 protein from Dengue virus is a, multifunctional protein of 69 kDa, endowed with protease, helicase, and, nucleoside 5'-triphosphatase (NTPase) activities. Thus, NS3 plays an, important role in viral replication and represents a very interesting, target for the development of specific antiviral inhibitors. We present, the structure of an enzymatically active fragment of the Dengue virus, NTPase/helicase catalytic domain to 2.4 A resolution. The structure is, composed of three domains, displays an asymmetric distribution of charges, on its surface, and contains a tunnel large enough to accommodate, single-stranded ...
