Research progress in flavivirus non-structural protein 5
The non-structural protein 5(NS5)is a highly conserved protein in the Flavivirus genus,acting as both a methyltransferase(MTase)and an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase(RdRp).It has been well documented that NS5 plays a crucial role in the replication of viral RNA.Recent studies have shown that NS5 proteins from different flaviviruses interact with various proteins in host cells,aiding the virus in evading the immune system.This review summarizes the structure,subcellular localization,and function of NS5 proteins.Additionally,we outline how flavivirus NS5 proteins contribute to viral replication and immune evasion.Lastly,we present the recent developments of specific small molecule inhibitors that target NS5 proteins.
