Figure 6

Putative active site of MERS-CoV PLpro. The model structure of MERS-CoV PLpro (in cyan) was generated by SWISS-MODEL [27] and then overlaid with the structure of SARS-CoV PLpro (in grey) in complex with Ub (in yellow) (PDB code: 4M0W). The residues are shown as sticks and hydrogen bonding and ion-pair interactions are indicated by red dashed lines. Four residues of SARS-CoV PLpro, Trp107, Leu163, Tyr265 and Tyr269, are labeled in black. The figure was produced using PyMol (http://www.pymol.org).
