| Type: | Family | Name: | Peptidase C8, hypovirus |
| Description: | Cysteine peptidases have characteristic molecular topologies, which can be seen not only in their three-dimensional structures, but commonly also in the two-dimensional structures. These are peptidases in which the nucleophile is the sulphydryl group of a cysteine residue. Cysteine proteases are divided into clans (proteins which are evolutionary related), and further sub-divided into families, on the basis of the architecture of their catalytic dyad or triad []. This group of cysteine peptidases belong to MEROPS peptidase family C8 (clan CA). The peptidases are encoded by the double stranded viral RNAs belonging to the genus Hypovirus. | Short Name: | Peptidase_C8 |
