Anti-Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus nsp3 antibody [HL1502] - BSA and Azide free,Abcam,AB313935

Target data Polyprotein P1234. Inactive precursor of the viral replicase, which is activated by cleavages carried out by the viral protease nsP2.. Polyprotein P123. The early replication complex formed by the polyprotein P123 and nsP4 synthesizes the minus-strand RNAs (antigenome) (By similarity). Polyprotein P123 is a short-lived polyprotein that accumulates during early stage of infection (Probable). As soon P123 is cleaved into mature proteins, the plus-strand RNAs synthesis begins (By similarity).. Polyprotein P123'. The early replication complex formed by the polyprotein P123' and nsP4 synthesizes minus-strand RNAs (antigenome) (Probable). Polyprotein P123' is a short-lived polyprotein that accumulates during early stage of infection (Probable). As soon P123' is cleaved into mature proteins, the plus-strand RNAs synthesis begins (Probable).. mRNA-capping enzyme nsP1. Cytoplasmic capping enzyme that catalyzes two virus-specific reactions : methyltransferase and nsP1 guanylyltransferase (PubMed : 26041283). mRNA-capping is necessary since all viral RNAs are synthesized in the cytoplasm, and host capping enzymes are restricted to the nucleus (Probable). The enzymatic reaction involves a covalent link between 7-methyl-GMP and nsP1, whereas eukaryotic capping enzymes form a covalent complex only with GMP (Probable). NsP1 capping consists in the following reactions : GTP is first methylated into 7-methyl-GMP and then is covalently linked to nsP1 to form the m7GMp-nsP1 complex from which 7-methyl-GMP complex is transferred to the mRNA to create the cap structure (PubMed : 26041283). NsP1 is also needed for the initiation of the minus-strand RNAs synthesis (By similarity). Probably serves as a membrane anchor for the replication complex composed of nsP1-nsP4 (By similarity). Nsp1 is needed for the initiation of the minus-strand RNAs synthesis (By similarity). Palmitoylated nsP1 is remodeling host cell cytoskeleton, and induces filopodium-like structure formation at the surface of the host cell (By similarity).. Protease nsP2. Multifunctional protein whose N-terminus is part of the RNA polymerase complex and displays NTPase, RNA triphosphatase and helicase activities (By similarity). NTPase and RNA triphosphatase are involved in viral RNA capping and helicase keeps a check on the dsRNA replication intermediates (By similarity). The C-terminus harbors a protease that specifically cleaves the polyproteins and releases the mature proteins (By similarity). Required for the shutoff of minus-strand RNAs synthesis (By similarity). Inhibits host translation to ensure maximal viral gene expression and evade host immune response (By similarity).. Non-structural protein 3. Seems to be essential for minus-strand RNAs and subgenomic 26S mRNAs synthesis (By similarity). Displays mono-ADP-ribosylhydrolase activity (By similarity). ADP-ribosylation is a post-translational modification that controls various processes of the host cell and the virus probably needs to revert it for optimal viral replication (By similarity). Binds proteins of FXR family and sequesters them into the viral RNA replication complexes thereby inhibiting the formation of host stress granules on viral mRNAs (By similarity). The nsp3-FXR complexes bind viral RNAs and probably orchestrate the assembly of viral replication complexes, thanks to the ability of FXR family members to self-assemble and bind DNA (By similarity)..

RNA-directed RNA polymerase nsP4. RNA dependent RNA polymerase (By similarity). Replicates genomic and antigenomic RNA by recognizing replications specific signals. The early replication complex formed by the polyprotein P123 and nsP4 synthesizes minus-strand RNAs (By similarity). The late replication complex composed of fully processed nsP1-nsP4 is responsible for the production of genomic and subgenomic plus-strand RNAs (By similarity).
