Journal ArticleDOI

Dengue virus capsid protein usurps lipid droplets for viral particle formation

TL;DR: It is proposed that lipid droplets play multiple roles during the viral life cycle; they could sequester the viral capsid protein early during infection and provide a scaffold for genome encapsidation and a link between lipid droplet metabolism and viral replication is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Dengue Virus NS5 Protein Intrudes in the Cellular Spliceosome and Modulates Splicing

TL;DR: A novel function of NS5 in the nucleus where it interferes with cellular splicing is demonstrated and it is proposed that NS5 binding to U5 snRNP proteins hijacks the splicing machinery resulting in a less restrictive environment for viral replication.
Journal ArticleDOI

RNA Sequences and Structures Required for the Recruitment and Activity of the Dengue Virus Polymerase

TL;DR: It is proposed that the long range RNA-RNA interactions in the viral genome play multiple roles during RNA synthesis, and new molecular details about the promoter-dependent dengue virus RNA polymerase activity are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dengue Virus Genome Uncoating Requires Ubiquitination

TL;DR: The fate of nucleocapsid components (capsid protein and viral genome) during the infection process is investigated and found that capsid is degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome system, in contrast to that observed for other RNA and DNA viruses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Overlapping Local and Long-Range RNA-RNA Interactions Modulate Dengue Virus Genome Cyclization and Replication

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.
