Abstract excerpt
The Glu54 residue of the norovirus 3C-like protease was implicated in proteolysis as a third-member carboxylate of the catalytic triad. The E54L mutant protease cleaved the sequence (133)LSFE/AP between the 3B and 3C regions of norovirus polyprotein, but did not cleave the sequence (198)ATSE/GK between the 3A and 3B. The 3BC junction mutation (3B-L133A or 3B-F135S) hampered the cleavage by the E54L protease,...
