TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a West Nile virus mutant that lacks 2′-O MTase activity was attenuated in wild-type primary cells and mice but was pathogenic in the absence of type I interferon (IFN) signalling, and suggested an evolutionary explanation for 2-O methylation of cellular mRNA: to distinguish self from non-self RNA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and function of flavivirus NS5 methyltransferase.
Yangsheng Zhou,Debashish Ray,Yiwei Zhao,Hongping Dong,Suping Ren,Suping Ren,Zhong Li,Yi Guo,Kristen A. Bernard,Kristen A. Bernard,Pei Yong Shi,Pei Yong Shi,Hongmin Li,Hongmin Li +13 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the N-7 methylation activity is essential for the WNV life cycle and, thus, methyltransferase represents a novel target for flavivirus therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
West Nile Virus 5′-Cap Structure Is Formed by Sequential Guanine N-7 and Ribose 2′-O Methylations by Nonstructural Protein 5
Debashish Ray,Aaloki Shah,Mark Tilgner,Yi Guo,Yiwei Zhao,Hongping Dong,Tia S. Deas,Yangsheng Zhou,Hongmin Li,Hongmin Li,Pei Yong Shi,Pei Yong Shi +11 more
TL;DR: A critical role for the flavivirus MTase in viral reproduction is demonstrated and this domain is underscore this domain as a potential target for antiviral therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ten years of dengue drug discovery: Progress and prospects
Siew Pheng Lim,Qing Yin Wang,Christian G. Noble,Yen Liang Chen,Hongping Dong,Bin Zou,Fumiaki Yokokawa,Shahul Nilar,Paul Smith,David Beer,Julien Lescar,Pei Yong Shi +11 more
TL;DR: The knowledge accumulated during the past decade has provided a better rationale for ongoing dengue drug discovery and it is optimistic that this continuous, concerted effort will lead to an effective d Dengue therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strategies for development of Dengue virus inhibitors.
Christian G. Noble,Yen Liang Chen,Hongping Dong,Feng Gu,Siew Pheng Lim,Wouter Schul,Qing Yin Wang,Pei Yong Shi +7 more
TL;DR: The strategies discussed in this report should be applicable to antiviral development of other viruses, including dengue virus and other flaviviruses.
