Résumé
Monkeypox virus is a small, double-stranded DNA virus that causes a zoonotic disease called Monkeypox. The disease has spread from Central and West Africa to Europe and North America and created havoc in some countries all around the world. The complete genome of the Monkeypox virus Zaire-96-I-16 has been sequenced. The viral strain contains 191 protein-coding genes with 30 hypothetical proteins whose structure and function are still unknown. Hence, it is imperative to functionally and structurally annotate the hypothetical proteins to get a clear understanding of novel drug and vaccine targets. The purpose of the study was to characterize the 30 hypothetical proteins through the determination of physicochemical properties, subcellular characterization, function prediction, functional domain prediction, structure prediction, structure validation, structural analysis, and ligand binding sites using Bioinformatics tools. The structural and functional analysis of 30 hypothetical proteins was carried out in this research. Out of these, 3 hypothetical functions (Q8V547, Q8V4S4, Q8V4Q4) could be assigned a structure and function confidently. Q8V547 protein in Monkeypox virus Zaire-96-I-16 is predicted as an apoptosis regulator which promotes viral replication in the infected host cell. Q8V4S4 is predicted as a nuclease responsible for viral evasion in the host. The function of Q8V4Q4 is to prevent host NF-kappa-B activation in response to pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF alpha or interleukin 1 beta. Out of the 30 hypothetical proteins of Monkeypox virus Zaire-96-I-16, 3 were annotated using various bioinformatics tools. These proteins function as apoptosis regulators, nuclease, and inhibitors of NF-Kappa-B activator. The functional and structural annotation of the proteins can be used to perform a docking with potential leads to discover novel drugs and vaccines against the Monkeypox. In vivo research can be carried out to identify the complete potential of the annotated proteins.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Monkeypox virus is a small, double-stranded DNA virus that causes a zoonotic disease called Monkeypox. The disease has spread from Central and West Africa to Europe and North America and created havoc in some countries all around the world. The complete genome of the Monkeypox virus Zaire-96-I-16 has been sequenced. The viral strain contains 191 protein-coding genes with 30 hypothetical proteins whose structure and function are still unknown. Hence, it is imperative to functionally and structurally annotate the hypothetical proteins to get a clear understanding of novel drug and vaccine targets. The purpose of the study was to characterize the 30 hypothetical proteins through the determination of physicochemical properties, subcellular characterization, function prediction, functional domain prediction, structure prediction, structure validation, structural analysis, and ligand binding sites using Bioinformatics tools.

RESULTS
The structural and functional analysis of 30 hypothetical proteins was carried out in this research. Out of these, 3 hypothetical functions (Q8V547, Q8V4S4, Q8V4Q4) could be assigned a structure and function confidently. Q8V547 protein in Monkeypox virus Zaire-96-I-16 is predicted as an apoptosis regulator which promotes viral replication in the infected host cell. Q8V4S4 is predicted as a nuclease responsible for viral evasion in the host. The function of Q8V4Q4 is to prevent host NF-kappa-B activation in response to pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF alpha or interleukin 1 beta.
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
Out of the 30 hypothetical proteins of Monkeypox virus Zaire-96-I-16, 3 were annotated using various bioinformatics tools. These proteins function as apoptosis regulators, nuclease, and inhibitors of NF-Kappa-B activator. The functional and structural annotation of the proteins can be used to perform a docking with potential leads to discover novel drugs and vaccines against the Monkeypox. In vivo research can be carried out to identify the complete potential of the annotated proteins.
