Target Information

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) belongs to the alphavirus family, the members of which have enveloped icosahedral capsids. The maturation process of alphaviruses involves proteolysis of some of the structural proteins before assembling with nucleocapsids to produce mature virions. E3 is implicated in serine-type endopeptidase activity. Cleavage of the alphavirus precursor glycoprotein p62 into the E2 and E3 glycoproteins before assembly with the nucleocapsid is the key to producing fusion-competent mature spikes on alphaviruses.
