Activity

Recombinant SARS-CoV-2 virus Papain-like protease (PLPro) is a Ubiquitin- and ISG15-deconjugating enzyme.  Reaction conditions will need to be optimized for each specific application.  We recommend an initial PLPro concentration of 20-100 nM when using Ubiquitin-Rhodamine 110 (U-555) substrate.  When using polyubiquitin chain substrate(s), this enzyme demonstrates a preference for K48 linkages.

Background: Papain-like Protease

The Papain-like protease (PLPro) from the human SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 is a cysteine protease located within the non-structural protein 3 (NS3) section of the viral polypeptide.  In other coronaviruses, PLPro activity is required to process the viral polyprotein into functional, mature subunits; specifically, PLPro cleaves a site at the amino-terminal end of the viral replicase region.  In addition to its role in viral protein maturation, PLPro possesses a deubiquitinating and deISG15ylating activity.  In vivo, this protease antagonizes innate immunity by acting on IFN beta and NF- kappaB signaling pathways.  When used in vitro with polyubiquitin substrates, the enzyme demonstrates a strong preference for K48 linkages.
