| Abstract | The processing of the Sindbis virus nonstructural polyprotein translated in vitro has been studied. When Sindbis virus genomic RNA was translated in a reticulocyte lysate, polyprotein P123 was cleaved efficiently to produce nsP1, nsP2, and nsP3. Inhibition of this processing by anti-nsP2 antibodies, but not by antibodies specific for nsP1, nsP3, or nsP4, suggested that the viral proteinase was present in nsP2. To localize the proteolytic activity more precisely, deletions were made in a full-length cDNA clone of Sindbis virus, and RNA was transcribed from these constructs with SP6 RNA polymerase and translated in vitro. Although virtually all of the nsP1, nsP3, and nsP4 sequences could be deleted without affecting processing, deletions in the N-terminal half of nsP2 led to aberrant processing, and deletions in the C-terminal half abolished proteolysis. However, inactive polyproteins containing the nsP2 deletions could be processed by exogenously supplied proteins translated from virion RNA, demonstrating that cleavage was virus specific and not due to a protease present in the reticulocyte lysate and that the deleted polyproteins still served as substrates for the enzyme. From these results and from experiments in which processing was studied at increasingly higher dilution, we have concluded the following: (i) the viral nonstructural proteinase is located in the C-terminal half of nsP2; (ii) in the P123 precursor the cleavage between nsP2 and nsP3 occurs efficiently as a bimolecular reaction (in trans) to remove nsP3, while the bond between nsP1 and nsP2 is cleaved inefficiently, but detectably, in trans, but no autoproteolysis of P123 was detected; (iii) once nsP3 has been removed, the bond between nsP1 and nsP2 in the P12 precursor is cleaved efficiently by autoproteolysis (in cis). This mode of processing leads to a slow rate of cleavage, particularly early in infection, suggesting that the polyproteins might play roles in virus RNA replication distinct from those of the cleaved products. A hypothesis is presented that the proteinase is a thiol protease related to papain. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
