Togavirin is a togavirus cysteine/serine protease in family S3 known from Sindbis and Semliki-Forest togaviruses; once released, the core protein does not retain catalytic activity, and togavirin has a similar tertiary structure to chymotrypsin; it autocatalytically releases the core protein from the N-terminus of the togavirus structural polyprotein by hydrolysis of a Trp-Ser bond. By processing the viral structural polyprotein it enables virion assembly.
