  • Abstract
    Core sequences necessary for substrate recognition and its inhibition at the PR/p3 site of HTLV-1 protease were clarified for the first time. From the cleavage rates of peptides containing a part of the PR/p3 site, a heptapeptide was found to be the minimal sequence required for substrate recognition. The use of synthetic inhibitors containing hydroxyethylamine dipeptide isostere indicated that a tetrapeptide sequence was necessary to achieve potent inhibition.
