Abstract excerpt
Viperin is a radical S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) enzyme that inhibits viral replication by converting cytidine triphosphate (CTP) into 3'-deoxy-3',4'-didehydro-CTP and by additional undefined mechanisms operating through its N- and C-terminal domains. Here, we describe crystal structures of viperin bound to a SAM analogue and CTP or uridine triphosphate (UTP) and report kinetic parameters for viperin-catalyzed...
