Potential Phosphorylation of Viral Nonstructural Protein 1 in Dengue Virus Infection [PDF]
Dengue virus (DENV) infection causes a spectrum of dengue diseases that have unclear underlying mechanisms. Nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) is a multifunctional protein of DENV that is involved in DENV infection and dengue pathogenesis. This study investigated the potential post-translational modification of DENV NS1 by phosphorylation following DENV ...

Rotavirus Nonstructural Protein NSP3 Is Not Required for Viral Protein Synthesis [PDF]
ABSTRACT Initiation is the rate-limiting step in protein synthesis and therefore an important target for regulation. For the initiation of translation of most cellular mRNAs, the cap structure at the 5′ end is bound by the translation factor eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E), while the poly(A) tail, at the 3′ end, is recognized by the ...

A Secreted Viral Nonstructural Protein Determines Intestinal Norovirus Pathogenesis [PDF]
Murine norovirus (MNoV) infects a low percentage of enteric tuft cells and can persist in these cells for months following acute infection. Both tuft-cell tropism and resistance to interferon-λ (IFN-λ)-mediated clearance during persistent infection requires the viral nonstructural protein 1/2 (NS1/2).

Flavivirus Capsid Proteins Inhibit the Interferon Response
Zika virus (ZIKV) establishes persistent infections in multiple human tissues, a phenomenon that likely plays a role in its ability to cause congenital birth defects and neurological disease. Multiple nonstructural proteins encoded by ZIKV, in particular

Functional studies of the coronavirus nonstructural proteins
Coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2, and MERS-CoV, have caused contagious and fatal respiratory diseases in humans worldwide. Notably, the coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 spread rapidly in early 2020 and became a global ...

A Viral Nonstructural Protein Regulates Bluetongue Virus Trafficking and Release [PDF]
ABSTRACT Bluetongue virus (BTV), a nonenveloped insect-borne virus, is released from infected cells by multiple pathways. Unlike other nonenveloped viruses, in addition to cell lysis the newly synthesized virus particles also appear to use a unique “budding” process.

Complementation of a Deletion in the Rubella Virus P150 Nonstructural Protein by the Viral Capsid Protein [PDF]
ABSTRACT Rubella virus (RUB) replicons with an in-frame deletion of 507 nucleotides between two Not I sites in the P150 nonstructural protein (Δ Not I) do not replicate (as detected by expression of a reporter gene encoded by the replicon) but can be amplified by wild-type helper ...

Role of nonstructural protein NS2A in flavivirus assembly [PDF]
Flavivirus nonstructural (NS) proteins are involved in RNA replication and modulation of the host antiviral response; however, evidence is mounting that some NS proteins also have essential roles in virus assembly.

Bunyamwera bunyavirus nonstructural protein NSs counteracts the induction of alpha/beta interferon [PDF]
Production of alpha/beta interferons (IFN-α/β) in response to viral infection is one of the main defense mechanisms of the innate immune system. Many viruses therefore encode factors that subvert the IFN system to enhance their virulence.

Chikungunya virus nonstructural protein 2 inhibits type I/II interferon-stimulated JAK-STAT signaling [PDF]
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 ...
