| Enzyme Function | FUNCTION: [Capsid protein]: Forms an icosahedral capsid with a T=4 symmetry composed of 240 copies of the capsid protein surrounded by a lipid membrane through which penetrate 80 spikes composed of trimers of E1-E2 heterodimers (By similarity). The capsid protein binds to the viral RNA genome at a site adjacent to a ribosome binding site for viral genome translation following genome release (By similarity). Possesses a protease activity that results in its autocatalytic cleavage from the nascent structural protein (By similarity). Following its self-cleavage, the capsid protein transiently associates with ribosomes, and within several minutes the protein binds to viral RNA and rapidly assembles into icosahedric core particles (By similarity). The resulting nucleocapsid eventually associates with the cytoplasmic domain of the spike glycoprotein E2 at the cell membrane, leading to budding and formation of mature virions (By similarity). In case of infection, new virions attach to target cells and after clathrin-mediated endocytosis their membrane fuses with the host endosomal membrane (By similarity). This leads to the release of the nucleocapsid into the cytoplasm, followed by an uncoating event necessary for the genomic RNA to become accessible (By similarity). The uncoating might be triggered by the interaction of capsid proteins with ribosomes (By similarity). Binding of ribosomes would release the genomic RNA since the same region is genomic RNA-binding and ribosome-binding (By similarity). Specifically inhibits interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1/IRAK1-dependent signaling during viral entry, representing a means by which the alphaviruses may evade innate immune detection and activation prior to viral gene expression (By similarity). Inhibits host transcription (By similarity). Forms a tetrameric complex with XPO1/CRM1 and the nuclear import receptor importin (By similarity). This complex blocks the central channel of host nuclear pores thereby inhibiting the receptor-mediated nuclear transport and thus the host mRNA and rRNA transcription (By similarity). The inhibition of transcription is linked to a cytopathic effect on the host cell (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P03315, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P03316, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P09592, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P27284, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P36329}.; FUNCTION: [Assembly protein E3]: Provides the signal sequence for the translocation of the precursor of protein E3/E2 to the host endoplasmic reticulum. Furin-cleaved E3 remains associated with spike glycoprotein E1 and mediates pH protection of the latter during the transport via the secretory pathway. After virion release from the host cell, the assembly protein E3 is gradually released in the extracellular space. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P03315}.; FUNCTION: [Spike glycoprotein E2]: Plays an essential role in viral attachment to target host cell, by binding to the cell receptor. Synthesized as a pE2 precursor which is processed by furin at the cell membrane just before virion budding, giving rise to E2-E1 heterodimer. The pE2-E1 heterodimer is stable, whereas E2-E1 is unstable and dissociate at low pH. pE2 is processed at the last step, presumably to avoid E1 fusion activation before its final export to cell surface. E2 C-terminus contains a transitory transmembrane that would be disrupted by palmitoylation, resulting in reorientation of the C-terminal tail from lumenal to cytoplasmic side. This step is critical since E2 C-terminus is involved in budding by interacting with capsid proteins. This release of E2 C-terminus in cytoplasm occurs lately in protein export, and precludes premature assembly of particles at the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P03316}.; FUNCTION: Protein 6K: Acts as a viroporin that participates in virus glycoprotein processing, cell permeabilization and budding of viral particles. Disrupts the calcium homeostasis of the cell, probably at the endoplasmic reticulum level resulting in the increased levels of cytoplasmic calcium. Because of its lipophilic properties, the 6K protein is postulated to influence the selection of lipids that interact with the transmembrane domains of the glycoproteins, which, in turn, affects the deformability of the bilayer required for the extreme curvature that occurs as budding proceeds. Present in low amount in virions, about 3% compared to viral glycoproteins. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P03316}.; FUNCTION: [Spike glycoprotein E1]: Class II viral fusion protein. Fusion activity is inactive as long as E1 is bound to E2 in mature virion. After virus attachment to target cell and endocytosis, acidification of the endosome would induce dissociation of E1/E2 heterodimer and concomitant trimerization of the E1 subunits. This E1 trimer is fusion active, and promotes release of viral nucleocapsid in cytoplasm after endosome and viral membrane fusion. Efficient fusion requires the presence of cholesterol and sphingolipid in the target membrane. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P03316}. |

| Post Translational Modification | PTM: Structural polyprotein: Specific enzymatic cleavages in vivo yield mature proteins. Capsid protein is auto-cleaved during polyprotein translation, unmasking a signal peptide at the N-terminus of the precursor of E3/E2. The remaining polyprotein is then targeted to the host endoplasmic reticulum, where host signal peptidase cleaves it into pE2, 6K and E1 proteins. pE2 is further processed to mature E3 and E2 by host furin in trans-Golgi vesicle. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P03315}.; PTM: [Capsid protein]: Phosphorylated on serine and threonine residues. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P09592}.; PTM: [Spike glycoprotein E2]: Palmitoylated via thioester bonds. These palmitoylations may induce disruption of the C-terminus transmembrane. This would result in the reorientation of E2 C-terminus from lumenal to cytoplasmic side. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P03315}.; PTM: [Spike glycoprotein E1]: N-glycosylated. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P03315}.; PTM: [Spike glycoprotein E2]: N-glycosylated. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P03315}.; PTM: [Assembly protein E3]: N-glycosylated. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P03315}.; PTM: [6K protein]: Palmitoylated via thioester bonds. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P03315}. |
