Nonstructural Protein-2 and the Replication of Canine Parvovirus
The nonstructural protein-2 (NS2) of canine parvovirus (CPV) is produced from the left-hand open reading frame of the viral genome and contains 87 amino-terminal amino acids in common with nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) joined to 78 amino acids from an alternative open reading frame. In the minute virus of mice parvovirus NS2 plays a role in controlling

Pestivirus Virion Morphogenesis in the Absence of Uncleaved Nonstructural Protein 2-3 [PDF]
ABSTRACTThe familyFlaviviridaecontains three genera of positive-strand RNA viruses, namely,Flavivirus,Hepacivirus(e.g., hepatitis C virus [HCV]), andPestivirus. Pestiviruses, like bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), bear a striking degree of similarity to HCV concerning polyprotein organization, processing, and function.

The nonstructural protein NSs of Schmallenberg virus is targeted to the nucleolus and induces nucleolar disorganization [PDF]
Schmallenberg virus (SBV) was discovered in Germany in late 2011 and then spread rapidly to many European countries. SBV is an orthobunyavirus that causes abortion and congenital abnormalities in ruminants.

Molecular Dissection of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Virus Putative Nonstructural Protein 2 [PDF]
Arteriviridae in the order Nidovirales. The virus is now known to consist of two different genotypes based on the finding that the prototypes viruses, Lelystad virus (European-like, Type 1) and VR-2332 (North American-like, Type 2), display only approximately 60% nucleotide identity. PRRSV has since been shown to consist of multiple virus isolates that
