Mapping the Nonstructural Transmembrane Proteins of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) responsible for the disease coronavirus-19 disease (COVID-19) has wreaked havoc on the health and economy of humanity. In addition, the disease is observed in domestic and wild animals. The disease has impacted directly and indirectly every corner of the planet.

Chikungunya virus infection disrupts MHC-I antigen presentation via nonstructural protein 2
ABSTRACTInfection by chikungunya virus (CHIKV), a mosquito-borne alphavirus, causes severe polyarthralgia and polymyalgia, which can last in some people for months to years. Chronic CHIKV disease signs and symptoms are associated with the persistence of viral nucleic acid and antigen in tissues.

Binding of a pyrimidine RNA base-mimic to SARS-CoV-2 nonstructural protein 9 [PDF]
The coronaviral nonstructural protein 9 (Nsp9) is essential for viral replication; it is the primary substrate of Nsp12's pseudokinase domain within the viral replication transcription complex, an association that also recruits other components during different stages of RNA reproduction. In the unmodified state, Nsp9 forms an obligate homodimer via an

Immunogenicity evaluation of a DNA vaccine expressing the hepatitis C virus non-structural protein 2 gene in C57BL/6 Mice [PDF]
Backgrounds: Most of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections elicit poor immune responses and 75% to 85% of cases become chronic; therefore, the development of an effective vaccine against HCV is of paramount importance.

Adeno-Associated Virus Type 2 Nonstructural Protein Rep78 Suppresses Translation in Vitro
Adeno-associated virus type 2 nonstructural protein Rep78 [621 amino acids (aa) long] affects the expression of various cellular and viral genes. In this study we examined the effects of Rep78 on expression of the luciferase gene from the human cytomegalovirus immediate-early promoter in HeLa cells and on translation of RNA encoding luciferase in ...

SARS-CoV-2 Uses Nonstructural Protein 16 To Evade Restriction by IFIT1 and IFIT3
Similar to other coronaviruses, disruption of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) NSP16 function attenuates viral replication in a type I interferon-dependent manner. In vivo , our results show reduced disease and viral replication at late times in the hamster lung ...

Chikungunya Virus Nonstructural Protein 2 Inhibits Type I/II Interferon-Stimulated JAK-STAT Signaling [PDF]
ABSTRACT Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an emerging human pathogen transmitted by mosquitoes. Like that of other alphaviruses, CHIKV replication causes general host shutoff, leading to severe cytopathicity in mammalian cells, and inhibits the ability of infected cells to respond to interferon (IFN).
