Background: Papain-like Protease

The Papain-like protease ("PLPro") from the human SARS coronavirus (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus) is a cysteine protease located within the non-structural protein 3 (NS3) section of the viral polypeptide.  PLPro activity is required to process the viral polyprotein into functional, mature subunits; specifically, PLPro cleaves a site at the amino-terminus of the viral replicase region.  In addition to its role in viral protein maturation, PLPro possesses a deubiquitinating and deISGylating activity.  In vivo, this protease antagonizes innate immunity by inhibiting IRF3-induced production of type I interferons.  PLPro has been reported to hydrolyze both K48- and K63 linked poly-Ubiquitin chains in vitro.  When used at low concentrations, the enzyme demonstrates a strong preference for K48-linked tetra-Ubiquitin chains which are primarily converted to di-Ubiquitin species.
