== Function ==
[[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/R1AB_CVHSA R1AB_CVHSA]] The replicase polyprotein of coronaviruses is a multifunctional protein: it contains the activities necessary for the transcription of negative stranded RNA, leader RNA, subgenomic mRNAs and progeny virion RNA as well as proteinases responsible for the cleavage of the polyprotein into functional products (By similarity).<ref>PMID:17024178</ref> <ref>PMID:17692280</ref> <ref>PMID:19369340</ref>   The papain-like proteinase (PL-PRO) is responsible for the cleavages located at the N-terminus of replicase polyprotein. In addition, PL-PRO possesses a deubiquitinating/deISGylating activity and processes both 'Lys-48'- and 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitin chains from cellular substrates. Antagonizes innate immune induction of type I interferon by blocking the phosphorylation, dimerization and subsequent nuclear translocation of host IRF-3.<ref>PMID:17024178</ref> <ref>PMID:17692280</ref> <ref>PMID:19369340</ref>   The main proteinase 3CL-PRO is responsible for the majority of cleavages as it cleaves the C-terminus of replicase polyprotein at 11 sites. Recognizes substrates containing the core sequence [ILMVF]-Q-|-[SGACN]. Inhibited by the substrate-analog Cbz-Val-Asn-Ser-Thr-Leu-Gln-CMK (By similarity). Also contains an ADP-ribose-1''-phosphate (ADRP)-binding function.<ref>PMID:17024178</ref> <ref>PMID:17692280</ref> <ref>PMID:19369340</ref>   The helicase which contains a zinc finger structure displays RNA and DNA duplex-unwinding activities with 5' to 3' polarity. Its ATPase activity is strongly stimulated by poly(U), poly(dT), poly(C), poly(dA), but not by poly(G). Activity of helicase is dependent on magnesium.<ref>PMID:17024178</ref> <ref>PMID:17692280</ref> <ref>PMID:19369340</ref>   The exoribonuclease acts on both ssRNA and dsRNA in a 3' to 5' direction.<ref>PMID:17024178</ref> <ref>PMID:17692280</ref> <ref>PMID:19369340</ref>   Nsp7-nsp8 hexadecamer may possibly confer processivity to the polymerase, maybe by binding to dsRNA or by producing primers utilized by the latter.<ref>PMID:17024178</ref> <ref>PMID:17692280</ref> <ref>PMID:19369340</ref>   Nsp9 is a ssRNA-binding protein.<ref>PMID:17024178</ref> <ref>PMID:17692280</ref> <ref>PMID:19369340</ref>   NendoU is a Mn(2+)-dependent, uridylate-specific enzyme, which leaves 2'-3'-cyclic phosphates 5' to the cleaved bond.<ref>PMID:17024178</ref> <ref>PMID:17692280</ref> <ref>PMID:19369340</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
SARS coronavirus main protease (M(pro)) plays an essential role in the extensive proteolytic processing of the viral polyproteins (pp1a and pp1ab), and it is an important target for anti-SARS drug development. We have reported that both the M(pro) C-terminal domain alone (M(pro)-C) and the N-finger deletion mutant of M(pro) (M(pro)-Delta7) exist as a stable dimer and a stable monomer (Zhong et al., J Virol 2008; 82:4227-4234). Here, we report structures of both M(pro)-C monomer and dimer. The structure of the M(pro)-C monomer is almost identical to that of the C-terminal domain in the crystal structure of M(pro). Interestingly, the M(pro)-C dimer structure is characterized by 3D domain-swapping, in which the first helices of the two protomers are interchanged and each is enwrapped by four other helices from the other protomer. Each folding subunit of the M(pro)-C domain-swapped dimer still has the same general fold as that of the M(pro)-C monomer. This special dimerization elucidates the structural basis for the observation that there is no exchange between monomeric and dimeric forms of M(pro)-C and M(pro)-Delta7.

C-terminal domain of SARS-CoV main protease can form a 3D domain-swapped dimer.,Zhong N, Zhang S, Xue F, Kang X, Zou P, Chen J, Liang C, Rao Z, Jin C, Lou Z, Xia B Protein Sci. 2009 Apr;18(4):839-44. PMID:19319935<ref>PMID:19319935</ref>
