Publication Abstract from PubMedThe association of Zika virus (ZIKV) infections with microcephaly has resulted in an ongoing public-health emergency. Here we report the crystal structure of a C-terminal fragment of ZIKV nonstructural protein 1 (NS1), a major host-interaction molecule that functions in flaviviral replication, pathogenesis and immune evasion. Comparison with West Nile and dengue virus NS1 structures reveals conserved features but diverse electrostatic characteristics at host-interaction interfaces, thus possibly implying different modes of flavivirus pathogenesis. Zika virus NS1 structure reveals diversity of electrostatic surfaces among flaviviruses.,Song H, Qi J, Haywood J, Shi Y, Gao GF Nat Struct Mol Biol. 2016 May;23(5):456-8. doi: 10.1038/nsmb.3213.
