Prolyl Hydroxylation Essential for Maturation and Secretion of Zika Virus NS1 Protein

This study identifies prolyl hydroxylation as a necessary modification for the maturation and secretion of the Zika virus non-structural protein 1 (NS1). Using recombinant Zika virus with tagged NS1, researchers analyzed protein interactions in infected cells, revealing the involvement of prolyl hydroxylases and other enzymes in NS1 processing. These findings enhance understanding of Zika virus replication and pathogenesis mechanisms.
