The protease OPG085 preferentially selects Ala-Gly-|-Ser/Thr/Lys sequences for processing of viral proteins involved in viral maturation and replication.

The assay system is based on the co-expression mechanism of a customized plasmid combining recombinant green fluorescent protein (rGFP) and VARV metalloprotease protease. In this system, a specific cleavage site for the VARV metalloprotease protease is embedded in the rGFP sequence. When the VARV metalloprotease protease functions normally, it specifically cleaves rGFP, resulting in loss of its fluorescence function and diminished fluorescence intensity. On the contrary, when the inhibitor effectively inhibits the activity of VARV metalloprotease protease, rGFP is unable to be cleaved, maintains its integrity and emits fluorescence normally with enhanced fluorescence intensity. By measuring the change in fluorescence intensity, the efficacy of the inhibitor on the VARV metalloprotease protease can be visually assessed.
