Background: Chikungunya Virus E1

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) belongs to the family of alphaviruses and is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes resulting in infection characterized by symptoms including arthritis-like joint pain and inflammation, fever, rash, and headache (1-3). The CHIKV genome consists of an 11.8 kilobase (kb) positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus that has two open reading frames (ORFs) (1-3). The first ORF at the 5' end encodes a 2472 amino acid (aa) nonstructural polyprotein and the ORF at the 3' end encodes a 1244 aa structural polyprotein (1-3). The polyproteins generate four nonstructural proteins (nsP1-4) and five structural proteins: capsid (C), envelope E1, E2, E3, and 6K (1-3). The nonstructural proteins comprise CHIKV's RNA replicase (1,2). Structurally, CHIKV has a diameter of ~65 nm and the virion is formed by an icosahedral nucleocapsid shell encapsulating genomic RNA and surrounded by a lipid bilayer envelope (2,3).

Although analysis suggests CHIKV originated in Africa over 500 years ago, first infections weren't reported until the 1950s (1-3). CHIKV has evolved three distinct genotypes, or strains, based on location, termed West African (WA), East/Central/Southern African (ECSA), and Asian (2-3). The WA strain has been most closely associated with enzootic transmission whereas the ECSA strain contributes more to urban epidemics (2). Nonhuman primates are the primary reservoir for the viral host with transmission occurring via mosquitos biting and infecting humans (1-3). Upon acute infection, the virus replicates in cells including fibroblasts and macrophages resulting in innate immune response in infected tissues characterized by infiltrating cells like macrophages, monocytes, natural killer (NK) cells, and lymphocytes (2,3). Infection results in increased production of proinflammatory cytokines such as interferon alpha (IFN-alpha) and interleukin 6 (IL-6), chemokines, and growth factors (2,3). Physical manifestations of infection are high fever, polyarthralgia, headache, arthritis, and rash (1-3). CHIKV symptoms can be confused with other infections like those from dengue fever and Zika virus (1-3). There are no specific antivirals or vaccines for CHIKV, but rather symptoms are treated with antipyretics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (2,3). While in vitro culture models and in vivo rodent and non-human primate models have been used to study CHIKV pathogenesis and advance our knowledge of the disease, the specific cellular mechanisms are not fully understood (3).
