There are several families of cysteine proteinases with different folds – for example the (chymo)trypsin fold family and papain-like fold family – but in both families the hydrolase activity of cysteine proteinases requires a cysteine residue as the catalytic nucleophile. In this work, we have analyzed the topology of the active site regions in 146 three-dimensional structures of proteins belonging to the Papain-like Cysteine Proteinase (PCP) superfamily, which includes papain as a typical representative of this protein superfamily. All analyzed enzymes contain a unique structurally closed conformation – a “PCP-Zone” – which can be divided into two groups, Class A and Class B. Eight structurally conserved amino acids of the PCP-Zone form a common Structural Core. The Structural Core, catalytic nucleophile, catalytic base and residue Xaa – which stabilizes the side-chain conformation of the catalytic base – make up a PCP Structural Catalytic Core (PCP-SCC). The PCP-SCC of Class A and Class B are divided into 5 and 2 types, respectively. Seven variants of the mutual arrangement of the amino-acid side chains of the catalytic triad – nucleophile, base and residue Xaa – within the same fold clearly demonstrate how enzymes with the papain-like fold adapt to the need to perform diverse functions in spite of their limited structural diversity. The roles of both the PCP-Zone of SARS-CoV-2-PLpro described in this study and the NBCZone of SARS-CoV-2-3CLpro presented in our earlier article (Denesyuk AI, Johnson MS, Salo-Ahen OMH, Uversky VN, Denessiouk K. Int J Biol Macromol. 2020;153:399-411) that are in contacts with inhibitors are discussed.
