Membrane Interacting Regions of Dengue Virus NS2A Protein
The Dengue virus (DENV) NS2A protein, essential for viral replication, is a poorly characterized membrane protein. NS2A displays both protein/protein and membrane/protein interactions, yet neither its functions in the viral cycle nor its active regions are known with certainty. To highlight the different membrane-active regions of NS2A, we characterized the effects of peptides derived from a pe...
متن کاملMembrane topology and function of dengue virus NS2A protein.
Flavivirus nonstructural protein 2A (NS2A) is a component of the viral replication complex that functions in virion assembly and antagonizes the host immune response. Although flavivirus NS2A is known to associate with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane, the detailed topology of this protein has not been determined. Here we report the first topology model of flavivirus NS2A on the ER membr...
متن کاملIn vitro processing of dengue virus type 2 nonstructural proteins NS2A, NS2B, and NS3.
We have tested the hypothesis that the flavivirus nonstructural protein NS3 is a viral proteinase that generates the termini of several nonstructural proteins by using an efficient in vitro expression system and monospecific antisera directed against the nonstructural proteins NS2B and NS3. A series of cDNA constructs was transcribed by using T7 RNA polymerase, and the RNA was translated in ret...
متن کاملDengue virus type-3 envelope protein domain III; expression and immunogenicity
Objective(s): Production of a recombinant and immunogenic antigen using dengue virus type-3 envelope protein is a key point in dengue vaccine development and diagnostic researches. The goals of this study were providing a recombinant protein from dengue virus type-3 envelope protein and evaluation of its immunogenicity in mice. Materials and Methods: Multiple amino acid sequences of different i...
متن کاملCloning and application of recombinant dengue virus prM-M protein for serodiagnosis of dengue virus infection.
We studied the use of the precursor to the M structural protein (prM) found only on the surface of mature dengue virus as a target protein to detect dengue virus infection. Recombinant D2-16681 prM-M protein was constructed and tested for immunogenicity with dengue and Japanese encephalitis patient sera by Western blot analysis and indirect ELISA. The sensitivity and specificity of indirect ELI...
