Table R1.

Review table, role of NSPs of SARS-CoV-2.

S. No. Protein Function Reference
1 NSP1 It is involved in host-range restriction in countering innate host antiviral response and in suppressing induction of apoptosis during early stages of infection to promote viral growth. [2,3]
2 NSP2 Involved in disruption of intracellular host signaling during SARS-CoV infections. [35]
3 NSP3 It is proposed to facilitate translation of the mRNA transcripts and to suppress host protein synthesis. [[11], [12], [13], [14], [15]]
4 NSP4 Essential role is replication and the assembly of the replicative structures. [36]
5 NSP5 Protease activity [37]
6 NSP6 Generates autophagosomes from the endoplasmic reticulum and is involved in autophagy [14,15]
7 NSP7 Primer-Independent RNA polymerase Activity [38]
8 NSP8 Primase activity [39]
9 NSP9 In complex with NSP 8, involved in RNA replication and virulence of virus. [[20], [21], [22]]
10 NSP10 It is a cofactor for both the 2′O-methyltransferase activity of NSP16, and the N7-guanine-methyltransferase/exoribonuclease activities of NSP14 [[40], [41], [42]]
11 NSP11 Essential for replication [43]
12 NSP12 RNA polymerase/Replicase activity [44]
13 NSP13 Helicase and RNA TPase activity [26]
14 NSP14 Methyl transferase and Exoribonuclease activity [27,28],
15 NSP15 Uridylate-specific Endoribonuclease activity [[29], [30], [31]]
