Abstract excerpt
Flavivirus NS4A has an N-terminal hydrophilic cytoplasmic portion; however, the role of this portion remains poorly understood. In this study, we show that a recombinant dengue type 1 virus (DENV-1) in which a subportion (amino acids 27-34) of the N-terminal portion of NS4A is replaced by the corresponding region from Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is defective in replication. Using the defective mutant clone...
