Protein detail:


Protein name ORF1ab polyprotein
Uniprot protein ID P0DTC1
Protein length 7096 amino acids
Protein description ORF1ab, the largest gene, contains overlapping open reading frames that encode polyproteins PP1ab and PP1a. The polyproteins are cleaved to yield 16 nonstructural proteins, NSP1-16. Production of the longer (PP1ab) or shorter protein (PP1a) depends on a -1 ribosomal frameshifting event. The proteins, based on similarity to other coronaviruses, include the papain-like proteinase protein (NSP3), 3C-like proteinase (NSP5), RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (NSP12, RdRp), helicase (NSP13, HEL), endoRNAse (NSP15), 2'-O-Ribose-Methyltransferase (NSP16) and other nonstructural proteins. SARS-CoV-2 nonstructural proteins are responsible for viral transcription, replication, proteolytic processing, suppression of host immune responses and suppression of host gene expression. The RNA-dependent RNA polymerase is a target of antiviral therapies.

Title Analyzing the Effect of Mutations in SARS-CoV2 Papain-Like Protease from Saudi Isolates on Protein Structure and Drug-Protein Binding: Molecular Modelling and Dynamics Studies
Author Alhumaidi B Alabbas, Mubarak A Alamri
Evidence Out of the 58 isolates, two mutations were found. One sequence was found to harbor a mutation Asp108-Gly of PLPro (D108G), while the other mutation was found at position 249 Ala249-Val (A249V).
