Thermodynamic and mechanistic analysis of the functional properties of dengue virus NS3 helicase

Abstract The Dengue Virus (DENV) non-structural protein 3 (NS3) is a multi-functional protein critical in the viral life cycle. The DENV NS3 is comprised of a serine protease domain and a helicase domain. The helicase domain itself acts as a molecular motor, either translocating in a unidirectional manner along single-stranded RNA or unwinding double-stranded RNA, processes fueled by the hydrolysis of nucleoside triphosphates. In this brief review, we summarize our contributions and ongoing efforts to uncover the thermodynamic and mechanistic functional properties of the DENV NS3 as an NTPase and helicase..
