Implication

VP1 cleavage efficiency by 3Cpro may underlie strain attenuation; leaves open relevance to human HAV pathogenesis or vaccines.

Structured PICO

P
Population
in vivo expression system for hepatitis A virus (HAV) strains, including the attenuated HM175 strain
I
Intervention
Proteinase 3Cpro-mediated processing
O
Outcome
Proteolytic liberation of VP1 from its precursors P1-2A and VP1-2A

The study demonstrates that HAV proteinase 3Cpro catalyzes the cleavage of VP1 from its precursors, with strain-specific differences in cleavage efficiency at position 273/274.
