Flaviviruses, including dengue (DENV), Zika (ZIKV), West Nile (WNV), Japanese encephalitis (JEV), yellow fever (YFV), and tick-borne encephalitis (TBEV) viruses, pose a significant global emerging threat. With their potential to cause widespread outbreaks and severe health complications, the development of effective vaccines and antiviral therapeutics is imperative. The flaviviral non-structural protein 5 (NS5) is a highly conserved and multifunctional protein that is crucial for viral replication, and the NS5 protein of many flaviviruses has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of interferon (IFN) signalling. In this review, we discuss the functions of NS5, diverse NS5-mediated strategies adopted by flaviviruses to evade the host antiviral response, and how NS5 can be a target for the development of vaccines and antiviral therapeutics.
黄病毒,包括登革热病毒(DENV)、寨卡病毒(ZIKV)、西尼罗河病毒(WNV)、日本脑炎病毒(JEV)、黄热病毒(YFV)和蜱传脑炎病毒(TBEV),对全球构成了重大的新出现威胁。鉴于它们有可能引发广泛的疫情和严重的健康并发症,开发有效的疫苗和抗病毒疗法势在必行。黄病毒非结构蛋白5(NS5)是一种高度保守且多功能的蛋白质,对病毒复制至关重要,并且许多黄病毒的NS5蛋白已被证明是干扰素(IFN)信号传导的有效抑制剂。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了NS5的功能、黄病毒为逃避宿主抗病毒反应而采用的多种NS5介导的策略,以及NS5如何成为疫苗和抗病毒疗法开发的靶点。
