For coronaviruses, a family of positive-stranded RNA viruses with large genomes (28À32 kb), the gene encoding the viral non-structural proteins (nsp's), including the RNA-dependent RNA-polymerase, is translated into a large precursor polyprotein, which must be proteolytically processed to mediate viral transcription and replication [1] . Cloning and expression of the N-terminal region of the murine coronavirus replicase polyprotein revealed that a predicted papain-family protease (papain-like protease, PLP) domain was responsible for processing the aminoterminal non-structural protein (nsp) from the replicase polyprotein [2À3] . Analysis of the N-terminal region of the replicase polyprotein of SARS-CoV revealed only one PLP domain, termed PLpro, which was shown to process the nsp1/2, nsp2/3 and nsp3/4 cleavage sites using the LXGG recognition motif [18] .
