| Description | This entry represents the SUD-C domain of Rousettus bat coronavirus (CoV) HKU9 non-structural protein 3 (NSP3) and other NSP3s from betacoronaviruses in the nobecovirus subgenera (D lineage).NSP3 of SARS coronavirus includes a SARS-unique domain (SUD) consisting of three globular domains separated by short linker peptide segments: SUD-N, SUD-M, and SUD-C. SUD-N and SUD-M are macro domains which bind G-quadruplexes (unusual nucleic-acid structures formed by consecutive guanosine nucleotides) [ ]. SUD is not as specific to SARS CoV as originally thought and is also found in Rousettus bat CoV HKU9 and related bat CoVs []. Similar to SARS SUD-C, Rousettus bat CoV HKU9 SUD-C (HKU9 C), also adopts a frataxin-like fold that has structural similarity to DNA-binding domains of DNA-modifying enzymes. However, there is little sequence similarity between the two domains. SARS SUD-C has been shown to bind to single-stranded RNA and recognize purine bases more strongly than pyrimidine bases; it also regulates the RNA binding behavior of the SARS SUD-M macrodomain. It is not known whether HKU9 C functions in the same way []. |
