The presence of the iron-sulfur motif is important for the conformational stability of the antiviral protein, Viperin.
Viperin, an antiviral protein, has been shown to contain a CX(3)CX(2)C motif, which is conserved in the radical S-adenosyl-methionine (SAM) enzyme family. A triple mutant which replaces these three cysteines with alanines has been shown to have severe deficiency in antiviral activity. Since the crys...
