4. Dengue Virus
The dengue virus (DENV) in one of five serotypes is the
cause of dengue fever. It is a mosquito-borne single
positive-stranded RNA virus of the family Flaviviridae;
genus Flavivirus. All four serotypes can cause the full
spectrum of disease
9. It has also been reported that NS3 has DNA
unwinding activity. Despite the high mutation rate
of DENV, some residues that actively participate
in viral replication remain conserved. These
conserved residues can be important in
developing specific antiviral agents and inhibitors
against DENVs.

16. NS3 Protein
• Two domains ,serine protease (protease
domain ->six β-strands(two β-barrels
formed by residues 1–180 ) and NTPase
helicase(Involve in Viral replication)
• Cofactor NS2B wraps around the NS3
protease domain and becomes part of
the active site
• Second largest protein of DENV genome.
22. Suggestions
The consensus sequence alignment shows that:
1.Residue L226 to L245 encodes the P-loop NTPase superfamily. It has two
motifs [Walker A, GK(S/T), and Walker B, Dex (D/H)], designing antipeptides
against the Walker A/Walker B region can significantly reduce RNA processing
efficiency.
2.I349 to R357 encodes helicase DEAD-box domain. Designing Antipeptides against
DEAD-Box can control Viral activites
3.The peptide string from 465 to 473 (QRR267 GR469 XGRN) is the part of the
helicase domain , mutation in R467 and R469 that will reduce the activity of
helicase
4.Mutation in residues (Y159 and G160) to alanine can completely
abrogate the enzyme activity

Dengue infection has become a major health problem in more than 100 countries in Africa, Asia, America, the Western Pacific. In the last decade, dengue infection has caused many endemics in Pakistan and has become a major health issue in Pakistan. World Health Organization, approximately infection occur 50–100 million/year, causing 500,000 cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever and 22,000 deaths.
which has four different serotypes (DENV1–DENV4). it was found that DENV2 serotype is most prevalent serotype circulating in Pakistan. Dengue infection results in two type of infections ranging from a dengue fever to a more severe infection that can cause dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome.
Dengue virus is an enveloped, 11-kilobase-long RNA positive-strand virus with three structural proteins, C (capsid), M (membrane), and E(envelop), and seven nonstructural proteins that are important in viral pathology
The NS3 N terminal : domain is about 180 residues long with a triad of active residues, histidine, aspartate, and serine, that form a catalytictriad that actively participates in the catalysis process of the enzyme. The C-terminal domain: consists of conserved motifs that are found in several nucleoside triphosphatases (NTPases) and help to increase the overall length of NS3, which results in enhanced enzymatic activity.
In this study, a novel approach is used to produce a consensus sequence of NS3, which will be useful in designing peptides that may help in finding a possible cure for dengue infection.
The present study was designed to draw a global consensus sequence of the NS3 protein of DENV, study the DENV NS3 conserved domain function, and draw a phylogenetic tree.

Serine Break peptide bod .protease domain ->six β-strands(two β-barrels formed by residues 1–180 ).The catalytic triad (His-51, Asp-75 and Ser-135),.and its activity is dependent on the presence of the NS2B cofactor. This cofactor wraps around the NS3 protease domain and becomes part of the active site.
The remaining NS3 residues (180–618), form the three subdomains of the DENV helicase. A six-stranded parallel β-sheet surrounded by four α-helices make up subdomains I and II, and subdomain III is composed of 4 α-helices surrounded by three shorter α-helices and two antiparallel β-strands.
The consensus sequence alignment shows that His56, Asp79, Ser144, and Ser146 are highly conserved among all serotypes.
The consensus sequence alignment shows that L138 to L149 are highly conserved among all serotypes, while L141 has mutated to a serine in serotype 3.
NS3 has three conserved domains: peptidase S7 family domain, helicase C-terminus conserved domain, and flavivirus DEAD domain.1
Residues (1–180)of the NS3 protease domain forms two b-barrels, and between these b-barrels there are three catalytic sites (His51, Asp75,and Ser135).
All the remaining residues (180–618) of NS3 forms three subdomains (I, II, III) of the helicase domain
A phylogenetic tree of 127 DENV NS3 sequences The tree shows that the different DENV serotypes have evolved from the serotype DENV4
DENV4 occupies the root of the tree, and the first serotype to evolve from DENV4 was DENV2. DENV2 bifurcates into two wings; from one wing, DENV3 evolved, andfrom the second, DENV2
[Walker A, GK(S/T), and Walker B, Dex (D/H)] which are present in nucleotide binding proteins and participate in many cellular functions
