Zika virus (ZIKV) is an emergent flavivirus associated with severe neurological disorders. ZIKV NS3 protein is a viral protease that cleaves the ZIKV polyprotein precursor into individual viral proteins. In this study, we found that ZIKV NS3 by itself exhibited mitochondrial localization, which was quite different from its endoplasmic reticulum (ER) localization in ZIKV-infected cells. We screened viral proteins...
