This domain is found at the C-terminal end of NS3 helicase (Non- structural protein 3-helicase, NS3-Hel) found in Flavivirus such as Zika virus (ZIKV) and Dengue virus type 1 (DENV-1). This protein binds RNA and unwinds dsRNA in the 3' to 5' directio ...
This domain is found at the C-terminal end of NS3 helicase (Non- structural protein 3-helicase, NS3-Hel) found in Flavivirus such as Zika virus (ZIKV) and Dengue virus type 1 (DENV-1). This protein binds RNA and unwinds dsRNA in the 3' to 5' direction. It consists of three domains. This entry represent the final domain, which is mostly alpha-helical [1,2]. A highly conserved R residue located in this domain was proven essential for the enzymatic activities of the protein [3].

Indicative of a protease inhibitor, usually a serine protease inhibitor. Structure is a disulfide rich alpha+beta fold. BPTI (bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor) is an extensively studied model structure. Certain family members are similar to the tick anticoagulant peptide (TAP, Swiss:P17726). This is a highly selective inhibitor of factor Xa in the blood coagulation pathways [1]. TAP molecules are highly dipolar [2], and are arranged to form a twisted two- stranded antiparallel beta-sheet followed by an alpha helix [1].
