Figure 1.
Schematic representation of the Flavivirus genome organization and polyprotein‐processing events associated with replication. Cleavage sites depicted with a ▾ represent cleavage by host‐signal peptidase within the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum. Sites represented with a depict cleavage by the viral‐encoded protease NS3 with cofactor NS2B. The cleavage between NS1 and NS2A is currently not well understood but is performed by a host‐cell protease in the lumen of the endoplasmic recticulum.
