FunFam 21: Genome polyprotein

There are 4 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Nucleoside-triphosphate phosphatase. [EC: 3.6.1.15]
NTP + H(2)O = NDP + phosphate.
  • The enzyme is found in eukaryotes and thermophilic bacteria, but appears to be absent from mesophilic bacteria.
  • Also hydrolyzes nucleoside diphosphates, thiamine diphosphate and FAD.
  • The enzyme from the plant Pisum sativum (garden pea) is regulated by calmodulin.

RNA helicase. [EC: 3.6.4.13]
ATP + H(2)O = ADP + phosphate.
  • RNA helicases utilize the energy from ATP hydrolysis to unwind RNA.
  • Some of them unwind RNA with a 3' to 5' polarity, other show 5' to 3' polarity.
  • Some helicases unwind DNA as well as RNA.
  • May be identical with EC 3.6.4.12 (DNA helicase).
 1 Q69422
Hepacivirin. [EC: 3.4.21.98]
Hydrolysis of four peptide bonds in the viral precursor polyprotein, commonly with Asp or Glu in the P6 position, Cys or Thr in P1 and Ser or Ala in P1'.
  • Encoded by the genome of the viruses of the hepatitis C group, and contributes to the maturation of the precursor polyproteins.
  • The enzyme is greatly activated by binding of the 54-residue NS4A 'cofactor' protein also derived from the viral polyprotein.
  • Belongs to peptidase family S29.
 1 Q69422
RNA-directed RNA polymerase. [EC: 2.7.7.48]
Nucleoside triphosphate + RNA(n) = diphosphate + RNA(n+1).
  • Catalyzes RNA-template-directed extension of the 3'-end of an RNA strand by one nucleotide at a time.
  • Can initiate a chain de novo.
  • See also EC 2.7.7.6.
