Summary: Equine arteritis virus putative proteinase
Pfam includes annotations and additional family information from a range of different sources. These sources can be accessed via the tabs below.
The Pfam group coordinates the annotation of Pfam families in Wikipedia, but we have not yet assigned a Wikipedia article to this family. If you think that a particular Wikipedia article provides good annotation, please let us know.
This tab holds the annotation information that is stored in the Pfam database. As we move to using Wikipedia as our main source of annotation, the contents of this tab will be gradually replaced by the Wikipedia tab.

InterPro entry IPR025773
Arteriviruses are enveloped, positive-stranded RNA viruses and include pathogens of major economic concern to the swine- and horse-breeding industries:
- Equine arteritis virus (EAV).
- Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV).
- Mice actate dehydrogenase-elevating virus.
- Simian hemorrhagic fever virus.
The arterivirus replicase gene is composed of two open reading frames (ORFs). ORF1a is translated directly from the genomic RNA, whereas ORF1b can be expressed only by ribosomal frameshifting, yelding a 1ab fusion protein. Both replicase gene products are multidomain precursor proteins which are proteolytically processed into functional nonstructural proteins (nsps) by a complex proteolytic cascade that is directed by four (PRRSV/LDV) or three (EAV) proteinase domains encoded in ORF1a. The arterivirus replicase processing scheme involves the rapid autoproteolytic release of two or three N-terminal nsps (nsp1 (or nsp1alpha/1beta) and nsp2) and the subsequent processing of the remaining polyproteins by the "main protease" residing in nsp4, together resulting in a set of 13 or 14 individual nsps. The arterivirus nsp1 region contains a tandem of papain-like cysteine autoprotease domains (PCPalpha and PCPbeta), but in EAV PCPalpha has lost its enzymatic activity, resulting in the 'merge' of nsp1alpha and nsp1beta into a single nsp1 subunit. Thus, instead of three self-cleaving N-terminal subunits, EAV has two: nsp1 and nsp2. The PCPalpha and PCPbeta domains mediate the nsp1alpha|1beta and nsp1beta|2 cleavages, respectively. The catalytic dyad of PCPalpha and PCPbeta domains is composed of Cys and His residues. In EAV, a Lys residue is found in place of the catalytic Cys residue, which explains the proteolytic deficiency of the EAV PCPalpha domain [PUBMED:7769711, PUBMED:10725411, PUBMED:11172046, PUBMED:20696193]. The PCPalpha and PCPbeta domains form respectively peptidase families C31 and C32.
The PCPalpha and PCPbeta domains have a typical papain fold, which consists of a compact global region containing sequentially connected left (L) and right (R) parts in a so-called standard orientation. The L subdomain of PCPalpha consists of four alpha-helices, while the R subdomain is formed by three antiparallel beta strands [PUBMED:19706710]. The L subdomain of the PCBbeta consists of three alpha-helices, while the R subdomain is formed by four antiparallel beta-strands [PUBMED:20410261]. The Cys and His residues face each other at the L-R interface and form the catalytic centre of the PCPalpha and PCPbeta domains [PUBMED:19706710, PUBMED:20410261].
This entry represents the PCPbeta domain (peptidase C32).

We store a range of different sequence alignments for families. As well as the seed alignment from which the family is built, we provide the full alignment, generated by searching the sequence database (reference proteomes) using the family HMM. We also generate alignments using four representative proteomes (RP) sets, the UniProtKB sequence database, the NCBI sequence database, and our metagenomics sequence database. More...

We make a range of alignments for each Pfam-A family. You can see a description of each above. You can view these alignments in various ways but please note that some types of alignment are never generated while others may not be available for all families, most commonly because the alignments are too large to handle.

Trees
This page displays the phylogenetic tree for this family's seed alignment. We use FastTree to calculate neighbour join trees with a local bootstrap based on 100 resamples (shown next to the tree nodes). FastTree calculates approximately-maximum-likelihood phylogenetic trees from our seed alignment.

Structures
For those sequences which have a structure in the Protein DataBank, we use the mapping between UniProt, PDB and Pfam coordinate systems from the PDBe group, to allow us to map Pfam domains onto UniProt sequences and three-dimensional protein structures. The table below shows the structures on which the Peptidase_C32 domain has been found. There are 1 instances of this domain found in the PDB. Note that there may be multiple copies of the domain in a single PDB structure, since many structures contain multiple copies of the same protein sequence.
