Background: 3CL Protease

The 3CL protease (aka 3CLpro, Mpro or "Main Protease) from the human SARS-CoV coronavirus (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus) is a C30-type cysteine protease located within the non-structural proteins 3 (NS3) section of the viral polypeptide.  3CLpro activity is required to process the viral polyprotein into functional, mature subunits, and there are 11 or more sites of cleavage, many containing the sequence LQ[S/A/G]; the protease cleaves c-terminal to the glutamine amino acid.  Along with the CoV Papain-Like Protease (catalog number E-610), 3CLpro presents an attractive target for therapeutic intervention of coronavirus infections.  Because no human proteases with a similar cleavage specificity are known, inhibitors of 3CLpro are unlikely to cause mechanism-based toxicity.
