Peptide Name   JEV(1962-1975)

Sequence  RRGRVGRNPNQVGD

Sequence Length  14

UniProt ID  P27395 

Source  Synthetic construct(derived from JEV NS3 helicase protein)



Activity Information


Target Organism  HCV,WNV,JEV

Assay  Helicase assay

Activity 

  • [Ref.18479669]Hepatitis C virus (HCV): inhibition of HCV helicase activity(IC50=196±9.4 μM);
  • West Nile virus (WNV): inhibition of WNV helicase activity(IC50=215±7.2 μM);
  • Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV):inhibition of JEV helicase activity(IC50=253±6.5 μM).

Hemolytic Activity  No hemolysis information or data found in the reference(s) presented in this entry

Cytotoxicity  No cytotoxicity information found in the reference(s) presented

Binding Target  NTPase/helicase

Mechanism  The intact enzymatic properties of NS3 are necessary for the virus propagation,which possesses numerous enzymatic activities including RNA stimulated nucleoside triphosphatase (NTPase) and RNA helicase activities. The peptides inhibited the NTPase/helicase by a direct interaction with the enzyme highly probably by a competitive mechanism.
