== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/POLG_ZIKV POLG_ZIKV] Protein C: Encapsulates the genomic RNA.[UniProtKB:P17763]  prM: Acts as a chaperone for envelope protein E during intracellular virion assembly by masking and inactivating envelope protein E fusion peptide. prM is matured in the last step of virion assembly, presumably to avoid catastrophic activation of the viral fusion peptide induced by the acidic pH of the trans-Golgi network. After cleavage by host furin, the pr peptide is released in the extracellular medium and small envelope protein M and envelope protein E homodimers are dissociated.[UniProtKB:P17763]  Envelope protein E: Binding to host cell surface receptor is followed by virus internalization through clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Envelope protein E is subsequently involved in membrane fusion between virion and host late endosomes. Synthesized as a homodimer with prM which acts as a chaperone for envelope protein E. After cleavage of prM, envelope protein E dissociate from small envelope protein M and homodimerizes.[UniProtKB:P17763]  Non-structural protein 1: Involved in virus replication and regulation of the innate immune response.[UniProtKB:P17763]  Non-structural protein 2A: May be involved viral RNA replication and capsid assembly.[UniProtKB:P09732]  Non-structural protein 4A: Induces host endoplasmic reticulum membrane rearrangements leading to the formation of virus-induced membranous vesicles hosting the dsRNA and polymerase, functioning as a replication complex. NS4A might also regulate the ATPase activity of the helicase region of Serine protease NS3 chain.[UniProtKB:P17763]  Peptide 2k: Functions as a signal peptide for NS4B and is required for the interferon antagonism activity of the latter.[UniProtKB:P17763]  Non-structural protein 4B: Inhibits interferon (IFN)-induced host STAT1 phosphorylation and nuclear translocation, thereby preventing the establishment of cellular antiviral state by blocking the IFN-alpha/beta pathway.[UniProtKB:P17763]

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The rapid spread of the recent Zika virus (ZIKV) epidemic across various countries in the American continent poses a major health hazard for the unborn fetuses of pregnant women. To date, there is no effective medical intervention. The nonstructural protein 5 of Zika virus (ZIKV-NS5) is critical for ZIKV replication through the 5'-RNA capping and RNA polymerase activities present in its N-terminal methyltransferase (MTase) and C-terminal RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) domains, respectively. The crystal structure of the full-length ZIKV-NS5 protein has been determined at 3.05 A resolution from a crystal belonging to space group P21212 and containing two protein molecules in the asymmetric unit. The structure is similar to that reported for the NS5 protein from Japanese encephalitis virus and suggests opportunities for structure-based drug design targeting either its MTase or RdRp domain.

Crystal structure of full-length Zika virus NS5 protein reveals a conformation similar to Japanese encephalitis virus NS5.,Upadhyay AK, Cyr M, Longenecker K, Tripathi R, Sun C, Kempf DJ Acta Crystallogr F Struct Biol Commun. 2017 Mar 1;73(Pt 3):116-122. doi:, 10.1107/S2053230X17001601.
