Characteristics of the protein coding sequence
EN
Nonstructural protein 3 (NS3) has three enzymatic functions: serine protease, NTPase, and RNA helicase. NS3, along with cofactor nonstructural protein 2B, catalyzes its own autocleavage and cleaves the viral polyprotein. NS3 also functions in viral genome replication as an RNA helicase, unwinding dsRNA in the 3' to 5' direction. Likely, NS3 is involved in viral assembly, potentially interacting with other nonstructural proteins, such as nonstructural protein 2A.
