Target Information
The prM protein is a vital structural precursor essential for Zika virus maturation. It acts as a molecular chaperone for the E (envelope) protein, preventing its premature fusion with host membranes during transit through the acidic secretory pathway. Proteolytic cleavage of prM by host furin convertases transforms the immature, "spiky" virus into its mature, infectious form. Targeting the prM-E interaction or the cleavage site is a primary focus for neutralizing antibody therapies and subunit vaccine development.
