Target Information

As a member of the Flaviviridae family, ZIKV has a single positive sense RNA genome, which is initially translated as a single polyprotein which is then cleaved post-transitionally into three structural proteins (C, PrM or M, and E) and seven nonstructural (NS) proteins (NS1, NS2A, NS2B, NS3, NS4A, NS4B and NS5)(1). The glycosated NS1 forms a homodimer inside the cells and is necessary for viral replication and late in infection (2).

NS1 is also secreted into the extracellular space as a hexameric lipoprotein particle, which assists the virus in immune evasion and pathogenesis by interacting with components from both innate and adaptive immune systems as well as other host factors (1).
