    Study Notes

    Flavivirus and Togavirus: Structure and Entry

    • NS3 protein is a multifunctional viral serine proteinase involved in polyprotein cleavage, RNA replicase component, nucleoside triphosphatase, and helicase activities.
    • Synthesis of non-structural protein establishes active RNA replicase complexes, carried out on membranes in the cytoplasm, requiring the synthesis of a complementary copy (minus-strand) of the plus-strand RNA and subsequent synthesis of new plus-strand (genomic RNA).
    • Flaviviruses have no clearly identified cellular receptor and enter cells through endocytosis within clathrin-coated vesicles, with alternative entry mechanisms including antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) causing severe diseases like dengue hemorrhagic fever.
    • The E protein of flaviviruses is a type I membrane protein found as a dimer, with domain II forming a dimer interface and containing the hydrophobic fusion peptide, and domain III used for receptor binding.
    • Following the capsid protein precursor, the precursor membrane protein (prM) associates with the E protein in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to form a heterodimer, protecting E from premature conformational changes.
    • Togaviruses cause disease in animals and humans, spreading through mosquitoes, with symptoms ranging from rashes, high fever, joint pain to encephalitis.
    • Togaviruses have a spherical enveloped particle with a fringe of projections, arranged in icosahedral symmetry, with 240 heterodimers of glycoproteins E1 and E2 in the envelope and 240 copies of capsid proteins.
    • Togaviruses have a linear ‘+’ sense single-stranded RNA genome, approximately 9.7-11.8kb in size, with both 5’ methylated cap and a 3’ poly(A) tail.
    • The E glycoprotein of togaviruses binds to cellular receptors, such as laminin receptor, leading to receptor-mediated endocytosis via clathrin-coated vesicles.
    • Once inside the cytoplasm, the RNA genome of togaviruses is released to be translated, interacting with cellular proteins to release the genome, catalyzed by partly cleaved non-structural proteins including nsP1, nsP2, and nsP4.
    • The RNA polymerase of togaviruses can stop at a specific codon, potentially yielding protein123.
    • Entry and fusion mechanisms of flaviviruses and togaviruses involve conformational changes in viral proteins in response to pH changes, leading to fusion and release of the nucleocapsid in the cell.
