Japanese Encephalitis Virus Genotype 5 Infectious Clone and Reporter System for Antiviral Evaluation
ABSTRACT The recent emergence of Japanese encephalitis virus genotype 5 (JEV5) has raised concerns regarding limited vaccine efficacy. Here, we report the construction of a full‐length infectious cDNA clone of JEV5 using a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) system, based on a South Korea isolate, K15P38 strain.

Comparative analysis of the extent of protein–protein interactions in icosahedral viral capsids
Abstract Nonenveloped viruses package, carry, and deliver their genomes to the targeted cells using protein shells known as capsids. The viral capsids come in different shapes and sizes, most exhibiting helical or icosahedral symmetries. Here, we analyzed 634 icosahedral capsids at high resolution (<4 Å) from 39 virus families with T‐numbers ranging ...

RNA chaperoning and intrinsic disorder in the core proteins of Flaviviridae
RNA chaperone proteins are essential partners of RNA in living organisms and viruses. They are thought to assist in the correct folding and structural rearrangements of RNA molecules by resolving misfolded RNA species in an ATP-independent manner. RNA chaperoning is probably an entropy-driven process, mediated by the coupled binding and folding of ...

The Small Cysteine‐Rich Protein of Potato Mop‐Top Virus Exhibits Viroporin Activity
The cysteine‐rich 8K protein of PMTV exhibits a viroporin activity that forms multimers on endomembrane, alters membrane permeability, and conducts potassium and protons. ABSTRACT Potato mop‐top virus (PMTV) is the causal agent of potato tuber spraing disease, which causes significant economic losses to potato production worldwide.

Prevalence studies have demonstrated a global distribution of equine hepacivirus (EqHV), a member of the family Flaviviridae. However, apart from a single case of vertical transmission, natural routes of EqHV transmission remain elusive.

Broad-spectrum inhibitor of viruses in the Flaviviridae family
The viruses in the Flaviviridae family have been associated with human and animal diseases. In this report, we demonstrate that compound 2-amino-8-(beta-D-ribofuranosyl) imidazo [1,2-a]-s-triazine-4-one (ZX-2401) was capable of inhibiting the production in culture of at least five members of the Flaviviridae family with minimal cytotoxicity.

Emerging Role of l-Dopa Decarboxylase in Flaviviridae Virus Infections
l-dopa decarboxylase (DDC) that catalyzes the biosynthesis of bioactive amines, such as dopamine and serotonin, is expressed in the nervous system and peripheral tissues, including the liver, where its physiological role remains unknown.

Use of Flaviviral genetic fragments as a potential prevention strategy for HIV-1 Silencing
Introduction: Coinfection with certain members of the Flaviviridae, such as Dengue Virus (DV), West Nile Virus (WNV) Yellow Fever Virus (YFV) and most importantly, GBV-C have been documented to reduce HIV-1 viral load in vivo.
