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. |
