Dengue virus (DENV) is an approximately 10.7-kb positive-sense RNA virus that circularizes via RNA-RNA interactions between sequences in the 5' and 3' terminal regions. Complementarity between the cyclization sequence (CS) and the upstream AUG region (UAR) has been shown to be necessary for viral replication. Here, we present the solution structure of the 5' end of DENV type 2 in the presence and absence of the 3' end. We demonstrate that hybridization between the 5' and 3' CSs is independent of the UAR while the 5' UAR-3' UAR hybridization is dependent upon the 5' CS-3' CS interaction.
登革病毒(DENV)是一种约10.7千碱基的正链RNA病毒,它通过5'和3'末端区域序列之间的RNA - RNA相互作用形成环状。环化序列(CS)与上游AUG区域(UAR)之间的互补性已被证明对病毒复制是必需的。在这里,我们展示了在有和没有3'末端的情况下登革热2型病毒5'末端的溶液结构。我们证明5'和3' CS之间的杂交独立于UAR,而5' UAR - 3' UAR杂交则依赖于5' CS - 3' CS相互作用。
