The Zika virus NS2B protein also known as ZIKV NS2B is a small non-structural protein with a molecular weight of approximately 14 kDa. This protein is part of the Zika virus polyprotein and becomes active through cleavage by viral proteases. NS2B acts as a cofactor enhancing the function of the viral NS3 protease which is important for viral replication. Expression of NS2B is predominantly in the cytoplasm of infected host cells where it plays a role in processing viral polyprotein into functional units necessary for the viral life cycle.
Biological function summary

NS2B provides an essential cofactor role within the viral replication machinery. It forms a complex with NS3 which possesses serine protease activity important for cleaving viral polyproteins. The NS2B-NS3 complex ensures efficient protein processing facilitating the synthesis of viral components. This interaction is vital for the replication of Zika virus within host cells and highlights the necessity of understanding NS2B's function in the Zika virus lifecycle.

Pathways

NS2B significantly impacts the viral replication process as part of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase pathway. It partners with NS3 protease to process the polyprotein and aid in assembling the replication complex. NS2B also indirectly affects the host immune response pathways by influencing the processing and assembly of viral particles ensuring effective infection and replication within host cells. This role highlights its interplay with other proteins such as NS3 and NS5 all of which are necessary for viral success.

NS2B is intrinsically linked to Zika virus infection and related disorders like microcephaly and Guillain-Barré syndrome. The NS2B-NS3 protease complex serves as a potential target for antiviral drug development as inhibiting this interaction may prevent viral replication and reduce disease transmission. Understanding the interactions between NS2B NS3 and host proteins could provide insights into therapeutic strategies to combat Zika virus-related conditions.

Target data

Capsid protein C. Capsid protein C self-assembles to form an icosahedral capsid about 30 nm in diameter. The capsid encapsulates the genomic RNA (Probable). Plays a role in virus budding by binding to the cell membrane and gathering the viral RNA into a nucleocapsid that forms the core of the mature virus particle (By similarity). During virus entry, may induce genome penetration into the host cytoplasm after hemifusion induced by the surface proteins (By similarity). Can migrate to the cell nucleus where it modulates host functions (By similarity). Inhibits the integrated stress response (ISR) in the infected cell (PubMed : 28592527).. Peptide pr. Prevents premature fusion activity of envelope proteins in trans-Golgi by binding to envelope protein E at pH 6.0. After virion release in extracellular space, gets dissociated from E dimers.. Protein prM. Plays a role in host immune defense modulation and protection of envelope protein E during virion synthesis. PrM-E cleavage is inefficient, many virions are only partially matured and immature prM-E proteins could play a role in immune evasion. Contributes to fetal microcephaly in humans. Acts as a chaperone for envelope protein E during intracellular virion assembly by masking and inactivating envelope protein E fusion loop. prM is the only viral peptide matured by host furin in the trans-Golgi network probably to avoid catastrophic activation of the viral fusion activity in acidic Golgi compartment prior to virion release.. Small envelope protein M. May play a role in virus budding. Exerts cytotoxic effects by activating a mitochondrial apoptotic pathway through M ectodomain. May display a viroporin activity.. Envelope protein E. Type II fusion protein that binds to host cell surface receptor and mediates fusion between viral and cellular membranes (By similarity). The envelope protein E shifts from dimeric state to trimeric state to perform fusion with the host membrane (By similarity). The fusion loops of the three subunits come together to form a membrane-insertable tip containing aromatic residues (By similarity). Efficient virus attachment to cell is, at least in part, mediated by host HAVCR1 in a cell-type specific manner (By similarity). In addition, host NCAM1 can also be used as entry receptor (By similarity). Interaction with host HSPA5 plays an important role in the early stages of infection as well (By similarity). Envelope protein is synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum and forms a heterodimer with protein prM. The heterodimer plays a role in virion budding in the ER, and the newly formed immature particle is covered with 60 spikes composed of heterodimers between precursor prM and envelope protein E. The virion is transported to the Golgi apparatus where the low pH causes the dissociation of PrM-E heterodimers and formation of E homodimers. PrM-E cleavage is inefficient, many virions are only partially matured and immature prM-E proteins could play a role in immune evasion (By similarity).. Non-structural protein 1. Plays a role in the inhibition of host RLR-induced interferon-beta activation by targeting TANK-binding kinase 1/TBK1. In addition, recruits the host deubiquitinase USP8 to cleave 'Lys-11'-linked polyubiquitin chains from caspase-1/CASP1 thus inhibiting its proteasomal degradation. In turn, stabilized CASP1 promotes cleavage of cGAS, which inhibits its ability to recognize mitochondrial DNA release and initiate type I interferon signaling.. Non-structural protein 2A. Component of the viral RNA replication complex that recruits genomic RNA, the structural protein prM/E complex, and the NS2B/NS3 protease complex to the virion assembly site and orchestrates virus morphogenesis (By similarity). Antagonizes also the host MDA5-mediated induction of alpha/beta interferon antiviral response (By similarity). May disrupt adherens junction formation and thereby impair proliferation of radial cells in the host cortex (By similarity).. Serine protease subunit NS2B. Required cofactor for the serine protease function of NS3.. Serine protease NS3. Displays three enzymatic activities : serine protease, NTPase and RNA helicase. NS3 serine protease, in association with NS2B, performs its autocleavage and cleaves the polyprotein at dibasic sites in the cytoplasm : C-prM, NS2A-NS2B, NS2B-NS3, NS3-NS4A, NS4A-2K and NS4B-NS5. NS3 RNA helicase binds RNA and unwinds dsRNA in the 3' to 5' direction (By similarity). Inhibits the integrated stress response (ISR) in the infected cell by blocking stress granules assembly (PubMed : 28592527). Disrupts host centrosome organization in a CEP63-dependent manner to degrade host TBK1 and inhibits innate immune response (PubMed : 35793002).. Non-structural protein 4A. Regulates the ATPase activity of the NS3 helicase activity (By similarity). NS4A allows NS3 helicase to conserve energy during unwinding (By similarity). Cooperatively with NS4B suppresses the Akt-mTOR pathway and leads to cellular dysregulation (PubMed : 27524440). By inhibiting host ANKLE2 functions, may cause defects in brain development, such as microcephaly (PubMed : 30550790). Also antagonizes the host MDA5-mediated induction of alpha/beta interferon antiviral response (By similarity). Inhibits the integrated stress response (ISR) in the infected cell by blocking stress granules assembly (PubMed : 28592527).. Peptide 2k. Functions as a signal peptide for NS4B and is required for the interferon antagonism activity of the latter.. Non-structural protein 4B. Induces the formation of ER-derived membrane vesicles where the viral replication takes place (By similarity). Also plays a role in the inhibition of host RLR-induced interferon-beta production at TANK-binding kinase 1/TBK1 level (By similarity). Cooperatively with NS4A suppresses the Akt-mTOR pathway and leads to cellular dysregulation (PubMed : 27524440).. RNA-directed RNA polymerase/Methyltransferase NS5. Replicates the viral (+) and (-) RNA genome, and performs the capping of genomes in the cytoplasm (PubMed : 30951555). Methylates viral RNA cap at guanine N-7 and ribose 2'-O positions. Once sufficient NS5 is expressed, binds to the cap-proximal structure and inhibits further translation of the viral genome (By similarity). Besides its role in RNA genome replication, also prevents the establishment of a cellular antiviral state by blocking the interferon-alpha/beta (IFN-alpha/beta) signaling pathway. Mechanistically, interferes with host kinases TBK1 and IKKE upstream of interferon regulatory factor 3/IRF3 to inhibit the RIG-I pathway (By similarity). Also antagonizes type I interferon signaling by targeting STAT2 for degradation by the proteasome thereby preventing activation of JAK-STAT signaling pathway (By similarity). Mechanistically, acts as a scaffold protein to connect host ZSWIM8/CUL3 ligase complex and STAT2, leading to STAT2 degradation. Within the host nucleus, disrupts host SUMO1 and STAT2 co-localization with PML, resulting in PML degradation (PubMed : 32699085). May also reduce immune responses by preventing the recruitment of the host PAF1 complex to interferon-responsive genes (PubMed : 30550790).
