Purification and characterization of ZIKV NS5 MTase. (A) Purification of NS5 MTase and its mutants. SDS-PAGE (top) and Western blot (bottom) using anti-His-tag antibody analysis of the recombinant proteins. Lane M, protein marker. Lane 1, total cellular proteins containing induced recombinant WT-MTase. Lane 2, supernatant of cellular lysate containing induced recombinant WT-MTase. Lane 3, purified recombinant WT-MTase. Lane 4, purified recombinant D146A-MTase. Lane 5, purified recombinant K105A-MTase. (B) Activity of recombinant WT-MTase, D146A-MTase and K105A-MTase. Luminescence-based methyltransferase assay was used. The time course experiment was repeated three times. (C) Schematic for the principle of the luminescence-based methyltransferase assay.
