CHIKV NSP2
Background
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) NSP2 is a multifunctional nonstructural protein essential for viral replication. It possesses RNA helicase, RNA triphosphatase, and protease activities, enabling it to unwind viral RNA, process the nonstructural polyprotein, and regulate replication complex formation. NSP2 also plays a role in suppressing host antiviral responses by interfering with innate immune signaling. Due to its pivotal functions in CHIKV replication and host interaction, NSP2 is widely studied as a target for antiviral drug development and molecular virology research.
