Rabbit Anti-Hepatitis E Virus ORF3 /FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
The Hepatitis E virus is the causative agent of Hepatitis E. Its taxonomic name is Orthohepevirus A. The viral genome a single-strand of positive-sense RNA that is approximately 1440 bases in length. It encodes 3 proteins (O1, O2, O3), two of which are polyproteins, that is, they are cleaved into fragments which carry out the actual functions of the virus. The O1 protein consists of 7 such fragments, namely Met (Methyltransferase), Y (Y-domain), Plp (Papain like protease), V (proline-rich variable region), X (X-domain, macro-domain), Hel (Helicase), and Rdrp (RNA dependent RNA polymerase). The Pvx domain is a fusion protein consisting of the Plp, V and X domains. The O3 protein is encoded by a single open reading frame (ORF3). The O2 protein encodes the capsid, which is composed of 3 domains, namely the shell domain (S) and two protruding domains (P1, P2). Numbers in the figure indicate positions in the RNA sequence.
Function:
May act as a viral regulatory protein involved in the modulation of mitogenic signaling pathways. May be involved in virion morphogenesis and viral pathogenesis. Expedites the processing and secretion of AMBP from the hepatocyte.
Subunit:
Homodimer. Interacts with host SRC, HCK, FYN, PIK3R3 and GRB2 (via SH3 domain); binding does not activate the kinases. Interacts with host AMBP/bikunin and AMBP/alpha-1-microglobulin peptides. Interacts with host HPX/hemopexin. The phosphorylated form interacts with the unglycosylated capsid protein.
Subcellular Location:
Host cytoplasm, host cytoskeleton. Note=The N-terminal region seems to associate with the cytoskeleton probably via one of its hydrophobic regions.
Post-translational modifications:
Not glycosylated.
Similarity:
Belongs to the hepevirus ORF3 protein family.
