Comments
This enzyme belongs to the peptidase family-C1.
Accoriding to the literature [2], the active site is consisting of Cys31, His180, Asn200 and an oxyanion hole, which precedes the catalytic Cys31. Unlike other papain-like enzymes, three residues are inserted in the oxyanion hole region, and form a mini-loop that bends away from the active site. This paper mentioned that the oxyanion hole is formed by the sidechain of Gln and the mainchain amide group of Cys31.
Cys31, which is activated by His180, can act as a nucleophile.
