The enzyme CMPK2 not only supplies deoxyribonucleotides for the synthesis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) [61] but it also possesses immunomodulatory and antiviral activities: CMPK2 was shown to limit dengue virus infection of murine and human cells in an IFN-dependent and IFN-independent manner [62]. This evidence concerns the gene IFNA1 and dengue disease.
