NCIt synonyms : M-pro; 3C-Like Proteinase Nsp5; Non-Structural Protein 5; 3C(L)pro; EC 3.4.22.69; Mpro; nsp5; C30 Endopeptidase; Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 3C-Like Proteinase Nsp5; SARS2 3C-Like Proteinase Nsp5; 3CLp; Main Protease; 3CL-PRO; 3C-Like Protease; SARS Coronavirus Main Proteinase;
NCIt definition : Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) 3C-like proteinase nsp5
(306 aa, 34 kDa) is encoded by the SARS-CoV-2 ORF1a and ORF1ab genes. This protein
is involved in viral replication.;
NCIt note : SARS-CoV-2 3C-like proteinase nsp5 is comprised of amino acid residues 3264-3569 of
the replicase polyprotein 1ab. (UniProt); SARS-CoV-2 3C-Like Proteinase Nsp5 is associated with two Swiss_Prot identifiers because
it can be produced by proteolysis of both replicase polyprotein 1ab (pp1ab) and replicase
polyprotein 1a (pp1a), which are encoded by the SARS-CoV-2 ORF1ab and ORF1a genes,
respecitively.;
