In this study we demonstrate that the Q939/S940 peptide bond, located between the polymerase and Zn-finger regions of pp1ab (the POL/Zn site), is processed by the 3CLpro, albeit inefficiently. Mutagenesis of the POL/Zn site, as well as the previously identified HD1/3C site in the 1a region of pp1a and pp1ab, demonstrated that the amino acid residues at the P2 and P1 positions of the cleavage site, occupied by L and Q, respectively, were important determinants of 3CLpro substrate specificity. Finally, a direct comparison of the 3CLpro-mediated cleavages at the HD1/3C and POL/Zn sites was made by determining the rate constants using synthetic peptides. The results show that while a larger polypeptide substrate carrying the HD1/3C site was processed more efficiently than a polypeptide substrate carrying the POL/Zn site, cleavage of the synthetic peptide substrates containing these two cleavage sites occurred at similar efficiencies. This indicates that the overall conformation of a large polyprotein substrate is important in the accessibility of the cleavage site to the proteinase.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":2.995732273553991,"endowment":2.995732273553991,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"10544119","pmcid":"PMC7131300","openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2058771846","authors":[],"funders":[{"funder_name":"NIAID NIH HHS","grant_id":"AI-17418","title":null},{"funder_name":"NCI NIH HHS","grant_id":"CA-16520","title":null},{"funder_name":"NIDDK NIH HHS","grant_id":"DK-19525","title":null}],"total_grants":3,"fwci":1.2133,"citation_percentile":0.78073963,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2012,"count":1},{"year":2015,"count":1},{"year":2021,"count":3},{"year":2022,"count":1},{"year":2023,"count":1},{"year":2024,"count":1}],"oa_status":"hybrid","license":"cc-by-nc-nd","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1006/viro.1999.9954","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1006/viro.1999.9954","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S0042682299999543?httpAccept=text/xml","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S0042682299999543?httpAccept=text/plain","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10544119","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/7131300","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://europepmc.org/articles/PMC7131300","host_type":"Europe_PMC"},{"url":"https://europepmc.org/articles/PMC7131300?pdf=render","host_type":"Europe_PMC"}],"fields_of_study":["Animal Virus Infections Studies","SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 Research","Viral gastroenteritis research and epidemiology","Amino Acid Sequence","Animals","Consensus Sequence","Coronavirus","Coronavirus 3C Proteases","Cysteine Endopeptidases","DNA-Directed DNA Polymerase","Electrophoresis, Polyacrylamide Gel","Kinetics","Mice","Molecular Weight","Mutagenesis, Site-Directed","Mutation","Open Reading Frames","Peptides","Protein Conformation","Protein Processing, Post-Translational","Recombinant Fusion Proteins","Substrate Specificity","Viral Proteins","Zinc Fingers"],"mesh_terms":["Coronavirus 3C Proteases","Amino Acid Sequence","Animals","Cysteine Endopeptidases","DNA-Directed DNA Polymerase","Electrophoresis, Polyacrylamide Gel","Kinetics","Molecular Weight","Mutation","Peptides","Protein Conformation","Protein Processing, Post-Translational","Recombinant Fusion Proteins","Substrate Specificity","Viral Proteins","Mutagenesis, Site-Directed","Zinc Fingers","Open Reading Frames","Consensus Sequence","Coronavirus","Mice"],"keywords":["Cleavage (geology)","Polyproteins","Cleavage factor","Biology","Coronavirus","Cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor","Binding site","Peptide sequence","Peptide","Molecular biology","Biochemistry","Stereochemistry","Protease","Enzyme","Chemistry","RNA","Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)","Gene"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":0,"sdg_label":"Good health and well-being"}],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-07-27T14:37:04.069853Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
