Background
Coronavirus replication and transcription machinery involves multiple virus-encoded nonstructural proteins (nsp). Coronaviruses are enveloped positive-stranded RNA viruses with the largest currently known RNA genomes. Expression of their genomes begins with the translation of two large replicase polyproteins, pp1a (>4,000 residues) and pp1ab (>7,000 residues), which are encoded by the viral replicase gene that comprises open reading frame 1a (orf1a) and orf1b1. pp1a and pp1ab are extensively processed by orf1a-encoded proteases to yield 15 or 16 mature nonstructural (replicase) proteins that assemble to form the membrane-associated viral replication and transcription machinery, which is vital to the viral life cycle. The nsp12, which is the first protein encoded by ORF1b, has common viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) motifs and is thus the catalytic core of the RNA replicase.
Application Notes
This product was manufactured as described in Protein Details. Where possible, Active Motif has developed functional or activity assays for recombinant proteins. Additional characterization such as enzyme kinetic activity assays, inhibitor screening or other biological activity assays may not have been performed for every product. All available data this product is shown.
