Dengue Virus Non-Structural Protein 5
The World Health Organization estimates that the yearly number of dengue cases averages 390 million. This mosquito-borne virus disease is endemic in over 100 countries and will probably continue spreading, given the observed trend in global warming. So far, there is no antiviral drug available against dengue, but a vaccine has been recently marketed. Dengue virus also serves as a prototype for ...
متن کاملSerotype-specific differences in dengue virus non-structural protein 5 nuclear localization.
The four serotypes of dengue virus (DENV-1 to -4) cause the most important arthropod-borne viral disease of humans. DENV non-structural protein 5 (NS5) contains enzymatic activities required for capping and replication of the viral RNA genome that occurs in the host cytoplasm. However, previous studies have shown that DENV-2 NS5 accumulates in the nucleus during infection. In this study, we exa...
متن کاملThe Intestinal Zonulin and Zonula Occludens 1 Protein Expression and Lipopolysaccharide Levels In ddY Mice Injected with Dengue Virus Non-Structural Protein 1
Background and Objective: Dengue virus infection remains a health problem. Dengue Virus Non-Structural protein 1 (NS1) increases the release of proinflammatory cytokines that induce intestinal zonulin expression. As a result, the ZO-1 protein translocates to the cytoplasm, which increases enterocyte permeability. This study aimed to investigate the effects of dengue NS1 on intestinal zonulin an...
متن کاملMutagenesis of the dengue virus type 2 NS5 methyltransferase domain.
The Flavivirus NS5 protein possesses both (guanine-N7)-methyltransferase and nucleoside-2'-O methyltransferase activities required for sequential methylation of the cap structure present at the 5' end of the Flavivirus RNA genome. Seventeen mutations were introduced into the dengue virus type 2 NS5 methyltransferase domain, targeting amino acids either predicted to be directly involved in S-ade...
متن کاملNon-Canonical Roles of Dengue Virus Non-Structural Proteins
The Flaviviridae family comprises a number of human pathogens, which, although sharing structural and functional features, cause diseases with very different outcomes. This can be explained by the plurality of functions exerted by the few proteins coded by viral genomes, with some of these functions shared among members of a same family, but others being unique for each virus species. These non...
