摘要

Herpesviruses encode a serine protease that is essential for the maturation of infectious virions.This protease has a unique polypeptide backbone fold and contains a novel Ser-His-His catalytic triad.It exists in a monomer-dimer equilibrium in solution,but only the dimer form of the enzyme is catalytically active.The stability of this dimmer is affected by the presence of anti-chaotropic agents.Most of the reported Kd values for this dimer (between 0.6 and 6muM) are inconsistent with the fact that the protease is routinely assayed at 20-50 nM concentrations,as only monomeric species would be expected with such K_d values.We have characterized the monomer-dimer equilibrium of HCMV protease using a new method,which observes the exchange between dimmers of the wild-type enzyme and the active-site Ser132Ala mutant in a titration experiment.The K_d of the dimmer was determined to be 8 muM and 31 nM in the absence or presence of anti-chaotropic agents (10% glycerol and 0.5 M Na_2SO_4),respectively.Detailed kinetic analysis also showed that,in addition to the 260-fold stabilization of the dimmer,the anti-chaotropic agents produced a 7-fold enhancement in the catalytic activity of the dimmer.
