NO Eliminates a Sulfhydryl Group from 3Cpro and Nitrosylates 3Cpro

Purified 3Cpro was incubated with AP, SNAP, spermine, or spermine NONOate. (A) Analysis of the 3Cpro sulfhydryl group. Treated 3Cpro was incubated with an excess of 5,5 dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoate) (DNTB) and its absorption measured at 412 nm. n = 4 ± SD. (B) Nitrosylation of the 3Cpro active site Cys147. 3Cpro was exposed to NO donors or their controls, then incubated with HgCl2, and the amount of nitrite released was measured by the Griess reaction. n = 4 ± SD.
