West Nile Virus Recombinant WNV NS3 Protease (from E. coli)
Proteins and Peptides

West Nile virus (WNV) is a member of the flavivirus genus, which contains many significant human pathogens including Dengue virus (Den), Japanese Encephalitits virus (JE), and Yellow Fever virus (YF). WNV is a small, enveloped virus with a single stranded, positive sense 11kb RNA genome, which encodes a polyprotein precursor. This polyprotein must be cleaved co- and post-translationally to produce ten functional proteins: three structural (C, prM and E) and 7 nonstructural (NS1, NS2A, NS2B, NS3, NS4A,NS4B and NS5). WNV NS3 protease is absolutely essential (along with viral-encoded cofactor NS2B) for post-translational cleavage and viral replication. As a result, this protease is a potential therapeutic target.

His-tagged recombinant WNV NS3 protease (residues 1 to 184) was expressed as a fusion protein with the cofactor NS2b (residues 49 to 96) and a linker sequence (GGGGSGGGG) in E. coli. The apparent Mr on SDS-PAGE is 32-kDa. Its activity can be measured by FRET peptides
