| Description | Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) ORF2/ORF3 is a E. coli derived recombinant protein, which contains the HEV immunodominant regions from ORF2 and ORF3. Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a human RNA virus containing three open reading frames. Of these, ORF1 encodes the viral nonstructural polyprotein; ORF2 encodes the major capsid protein, which exists in a glycosylated and non-glycosylated form; and ORF3 codes for a phosphoprotein of undefined function, and ORF3 protein interacts with the ORF2 protein. The domains involved in this ORF2-ORF3 association have been identified and mapped, and a 25-amino acid region (residues 57-81) of the ORF3 protein is required for this interaction. ORF2-ORF3 interaction is dependent upon the phosphorylation at Ser(80) of ORF3, and the phosphorylated ORF3 protein preferentially interacts with the non-glycosylated ORF2 protein. |
