Insights into the product release mechanism of dengue virus NS3 helicase

The non-structural protein 3 helicase (NS3h) is a multifunctional protein that is critical in RNA replication and other stages in the flavivirus life cycle. NS3h uses energy from ATP hydrolysis to translocate along single stranded nucleic acid and to unwind double stranded RNA. Here we present a detailed mechanistic analysis of the product release stage in the catalytic cycle of the dengue virus (DENV) NS3h. This study is based on a combined experimental and computational approach of product-inhibition studies and free energy calculations. Our results support a model in which the catalytic cycle of ATP hydrolysis proceeds through an ordered sequential mechanism that includes a ternary complex intermediate (NS3h-Pi-ADP), which evolves releasing the first product, phosphate (Pi), and subsequently ADP. Our results indicate that in the product release stage of the DENV NS3h a novel open-loop conformation plays an important role that may be conserved in NS3 proteins of other flaviviruses as well.
