[POLG_TBEVW] Capsid protein C self-assembles to form an icosahedral capsid about 30 nm in diameter. The capsid encapsulates the genomic RNA (By similarity). prM acts as a chaperone for envelope protein E during intracellular virion assembly by masking and inactivating envelope protein E fusion peptide. prM is matured in the last step of virion assembly, presumably to avoid catastrophic activation of the viral fusion peptide induced by the acidic pH of the trans-Golgi network. After cleavage by host furin, the pr peptide is released in the extracellular medium and small envelope protein M and envelope protein E homodimers are dissociated (By similarity). Envelope protein E binding to host cell surface receptor is followed by virus internalization through clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Envelope protein E is subsequently involved in membrane fusion between virion and host late endosomes. Synthesized as a homodimer with prM which acts as a chaperone for envelope protein E. After cleavage of prM, envelope protein E dissociate from small envelope protein M and homodimerizes (By similarity). Non-structural protein 1 is involved in virus replication and regulation of the innate immune response (By similarity). Non-structural protein 2A may be involved viral RNA replication and capsid assembly (Potential). Non-structural protein 2B is a required cofactor for the serine protease function of NS3 (By similarity). Serine protease NS3 displays three enzymatic activities: serine protease, NTPase and RNA helicase. NS3 serine protease, in association with NS2B, performs its autocleavage and cleaves the polyprotein at dibasic sites in the cytoplasm: C-prM, NS2A-NS2B, NS2B-NS3, NS3-NS4A, NS4A-2K and NS4B-NS5. NS3 RNA helicase binds RNA and unwinds dsRNA in the 3' to 5' direction (By similarity). Non-structural protein 4A induces host endoplasmic reticulum membrane rearrangements leading to the formation of virus-induced membranous vesicles hosting the dsRNA and polymerase, functioning as a replication complex. NS4A might also regulate the ATPase activity of the NS3 helicase (By similarity). Peptide 2k functions as a signal peptide for NS4B and is required for the interferon antagonism activity of the latter (By similarity). RNA-directed RNA polymerase NS5 replicates the viral (+) and (-) genome, and performs the capping of genomes in the cytoplasm. NS5 methylates viral RNA cap at guanine N-7 and ribose 2'-O positions. Besides its role in genome replication, also prevents the establishment of cellular antiviral state by blocking the interferon-alpha/beta (IFN-alpha/beta) signaling pathway. Inhibits host SCRIB and prevents activation of downstream JAK-STAT signaling pathway (By similarity).

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Structures of prM-containing dengue and yellow fever virus particles were determined to 16 and 25 A resolution, respectively, by cryoelectron microscopy and image reconstruction techniques. The closely similar structures show 60 icosahedrally organized trimeric spikes on the particle surface. Each spike consists of three prM:E heterodimers, where E is an envelope glycoprotein and prM is the precursor to the membrane protein M. The pre-peptide components of the prM proteins in each spike cover the fusion peptides at the distal ends of the E glycoproteins in a manner similar to the organization of the glycoproteins in the alphavirus spikes. Each heterodimer is associated with an E and a prM transmembrane density. These transmembrane densities represent either an EE or prMprM antiparallel coiled coil by which each protein spans the membrane twice, leaving the C-terminus of each protein on the exterior of the viral membrane, consistent with the predicted membrane-spanning domains of the unprocessed polyprotein.
