Fig. 4: Relation of Acheta domesticus segmented densovirus (AdSDV) vpORF3 and secretory Phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) enzymatic proteins.

Structural predictions of the Acheta domesticus segmented densovirus (AdSDV) vpORF3 protein (a), as well as of the protein product of vp-transcript 3, expressed by joining vpORF2 N-terminally with vpORF3 (b). Predictions were created by AlphaFold2 pipeline provided by ColabFold (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.08.15.456425v1). The ribbon diagrams in both panels are colored by the pLDDT values, indicating the reliability of the prediction as shown by the legend. c Shows the vpORF3 model phospholipase A2 (PLA2) domain (blue) superimposed with that of the Chinese cobra (Naja atra) venom PLA2 structure (PDB ID:1POA) (orange). The atoms and bonds are shown for the Tyr sidechain of the conserved YXGXG domain of the PLA2 calcium binding loop, as well as the sidechains of the conserved catalytic core (HD). The Ca2+ ion, present in the cobra venom PLA2 structure, is marked by a green sphere.
