ABSTRACT Three consecutive plaque purifications of four chimeric yellow fever virus-dengue virus (ChimeriVax-DEN) vaccine candidates against dengue virus types 1 to 4 were performed. The genome of each candidate was sequenced by the consensus approach after plaque purification and additional passages in cell culture. Our data suggest that the nucleotide sequence error rate for SP6 RNA polymerase used in the in vitro transcription step to initiate virus replication was as high as 1.34 × 10−4 per copied nucleotide and that the error rate of the yellow fever virus RNA polymerase employed by the chimeras for genome replication in infected cells was as low as 1.9 × 10−7 to 2.3 × 10−7. Clustering of beneficial mutations that accumulated after multiple virus passages suggests that the N-terminal part of the prM protein, a specific site in the middle of the E protein, and the NS4B protein may be essential for nucleocapsid-envelope interaction during flavivirus assembly.

ABSTRACT By using a purified dengue virus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and a subgenomic 770-nucleotide RNA template, it was shown previously that the ratio of the de novo synthesis product to hairpin product formed was inversely proportional to increments of assay temperatures (20 to 40°C). In this study, the components of the de novo preinitiation complex are defined as ATP, a high concentration of GTP (500 μM), the polymerase, and the template RNA. Even when the 3′-terminal sequence of template RNA was mutated from -GGUUCU-3′ to -GGUUUU-3′, a high GTP concentration was required for de novo initiation, suggesting that high GTP concentration plays a conformational role. Furthermore, utilization of synthetic primers by the polymerase indicated that AGAA is the optimal primer whereas AG, AGA, and AGAACC were inefficient primers. Moreover, mutational analysis of the highly conserved 3′-terminal dinucleotide CU of the template RNA indicated that change of the 3′-terminal nucleotide from U to C reduced the efficiency about fivefold. The order of preference for the 3′-terminal nucleotide, from highest to lowest, is U, A∼G, and C. However, change of the penultimate nucleotide from C to U did not affect the template activity. A model consistent with these results is that the active site of the polymerase switches from a “closed” form, catalyzing de novo initiation through synthesis of short primers, to an “open” form for elongation of a double-stranded template-primer.

The flaviviral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) is an attractive drug target. To discover new inhibitors of dengue virus RdRp, the authors have developed a fluorescence-based alkaline phosphatase–coupled polymerase assay (FAPA) for high-throughput screening (HTS). A modified nucleotide analogue (2′-[2-benzothiazoyl]-6′-hydroxybenzothiazole) conjugated adenosine triphosphate (BBT-ATP) and 3′UTR-U30 RNA were used as substrates. After the polymerase reaction, treatment with alkaline phosphatase liberates the BBT fluorophore from the polymerase reaction by-product, BBTPPi, which can be detected at excitation and emission wavelengths of 422 and 566 nm, respectively. The assay was evaluated by examining the time dependency, assay reagent effects, reaction kinetics, and signal stability and was validated with 3′dATP and an adenosine-nucleotide triphosphate inhibitor, giving IC50 values of 0.13 µM and 0.01 µM, respectively. A pilot screen of a diverse compound library of 40,572 compounds at 20 µM demonstrated good performance with an average Z factor of 0.81. The versatility and robustness of FAPA were evaluated with another substrate system, BBT-GTP paired with 3′UTR-C30 RNA. The FAPA method presented here can be readily adapted for other nucleotide-dependent enzymes that generate PPi.
