3.4.22.45 |
| Accepted name: |
helper-component proteinase |
| Reaction: |
Hydrolyses a Gly┼Gly bond at its own C-terminus, commonly in the sequence -Tyr-Xaa-Val-Gly┼Gly, in the processing of the potyviral polyprotein |
| Other name(s): |
HC-Pro |
| Comments: |
Known from many potyviruses. The helper component-proteinase of the tobacco etch virus is a multifunctional protein with several known activities: the N-terminal region is required for aphid transmission and efficient genome amplification, the central region is required for long-distance movement in plants, and the C-terminal domain has cysteine endopeptidase activity. Type example of peptidase family C6. |
