Novel Functions of the Alphavirus Nonstructural Protein nsP3 C-Terminal Region [PDF]
ABSTRACT The functions of the alphavirus-encoded nonstructural protein nsP3 during infection are poorly understood. In contrast, nsP1, nsP2, and nsP4 have known enzymatic activities and functions. A functional analysis of the C-terminal region of nsP3 of Semliki Forest virus revealed the presence of a degradation signal that ...

Insighting isatin derivatives as potential antiviral agents against NSP3 of COVID-19
The world is now facing intolerable damage in all sectors of life because of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. The discovery and development of anti-SARS-CoV-2 drugs have become pragmatic in the time needed to fight against this pandemic.

Alphavirus nsP3 ADP-ribosylhydrolase Activity Disrupts Stress Granule Formation [PDF]
ABSTRACTFormation of stress granules (SGs), cytoplasmic condensates of stalled translation initiation complexes, is regulated by post-translational protein modification. Alphaviruses interfere with SG formation in response to inhibition of host protein synthesis through the activities of nonstructural protein 3 (nsP3).

Recognition of eIF4G by Rotavirus NSP3 Reveals a Basis for mRNA Circularization [PDF]
Rotaviruses, segmented double-stranded RNA viruses, co-opt the eukaryotic translation machinery with the aid of nonstructural protein 3 (NSP3), a rotaviral functional homolog of the cellular poly(A) binding protein (PABP). NSP3 binds to viral mRNA 3' consensus sequences and circularizes mRNA via interactions with eIF4G.

Consequences of Zeeman Degeneracy for van der Waals Blockade between Rydberg Atoms
We analyze the effects of Zeeman degeneracies on the long-range interactions between like Rydberg atoms, with particular emphasis on applications to quantum information processing using van der Waals blockade.

Semliki Forest Virus-specific Non-structural Protein nsP3 Is a Phosphoprotein
Antisera were raised in rabbits against fusion proteins consisting of beta-galactosidase and partial amino acid sequences of Semliki Forest virus (SFV)-specific non-structural proteins nsP1, nsP2, nsP3 and nsP4. The antisera were specific since each of them precipitated only one labelled protein of a size expected for nsP1, nsP2, nsP3 or nsP4 from ...

Alphaviral Capsid Proteins Inhibit Stress Granule Assembly via Competitive RNA Binding With G3BP1
Stress granules exert antiviral functions. This study illustrates a conserved function of alphaviral capsid proteins in modulating stress granules. Oligomerization mediated by a helical motif coupled with a positively charged intrinsically disordered region (IDR) directly competes with G3BP1 for RNA binding, thereby disrupting G3BP1‐RNA liquid–liquid ...
