Journal ArticleDOI
Overlapping Local and Long-Range RNA-RNA Interactions Modulate Dengue Virus Genome Cyclization and Replication
Luana de Borba,Sergio Villordo,Nestor Gabriel Iglesias,Claudia Veronica Filomatori,Leopoldo German Gebhard,Andrea V. Gamarnik +5 more
TL;DR: New cis-acting elements present in the capsid coding sequence that facilitate cyclization of the viral RNA by hybridization with a sequence involved in a local dumbbell structure at the viral 3′ untranslated region (UTR) are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
RNA structure duplication in the dengue virus 3′ UTR: redundancy or host specificity?
Luana de Borba,Sergio Villordo,Franco Leonel Marsico,Juan Manuel Carballeda,Claudia Veronica Filomatori,Leopoldo German Gebhard,Horacio M. Pallarés,Sebastian Lequime,Sebastian Lequime,Sebastian Lequime,Louis Lambrechts,Louis Lambrechts,Irma Sanchez Vargas,Carol D. Blair,Andrea V. Gamarnik +14 more
TL;DR: A model in which a functional diversification of duplicated RNA elements in the viral 3′ untranslated region (UTR) is driven by host-specific requirements is supported, and a pseudoknot formed within DB2 competes with long-range RNA-RNA interactions that are necessary for minus-strand RNA synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zika Virus Subgenomic Flavivirus RNA Generation Requires Cooperativity between Duplicated RNA Structures That Are Essential for Productive Infection in Human Cells.
Horacio M. Pallarés,Guadalupe S. Costa Navarro,Sergio Villordo,Fernando Merwaiss,Luana de Borba,María Mora González López Ledesma,Diego Sebastian Ojeda,Annabelle Henrion-Lacritick,Maria A. Morales,Cintia Fabri,Maria-Carla Saleh,Andrea V. Gamarnik +11 more
TL;DR: It is found that two RNA structures of the viral 3′ UTR operate in a cooperative manner to produce two species of sfRNAs and that the deletion of these elements has a profoundly different impact on viral replication in the two hosts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dengue Virus Capsid Protein Dynamics Reveals Spatially Heterogeneous Motion in Live-Infected-Cells.
Manuela Gabriel,Guadalupe S. Costa Navarro,Luana de Borba,Andrés Hugo Rossi,Andrea V. Gamarnik,Laura C. Estrada +5 more
TL;DR: This is the first study presenting spatial and temporal dynamics of the dengue virus capsid protein during infection, and for the first time high resolution maps of capsid mobility in an infected cell are constructed.
