Abstract A yellow fever (YFV) 17D virus variant, which causes persistent infection of mouse neuroblastoma cells associated with defective cell penetration and small plaque size, yielded plaque-revertant viruses from cells transfected with viral transcripts encoding the adaptive mutation (Gly360 in the E protein). Reconstruction of a plaque-purified revertant which contained Gly360 and additional substitutions (Asn for Lys303 and Val for Ala261) yielded a virus whose infectious center size, growth efficiency, and cell penetration rate similar to the parental YF5.2iv virus, whereas viruses with Asn303 or Val261 alone with Gly360 yielded either a small-plaque virus or a parental revertant. These data indicate that the YFV E protein is subject to suppression of mutations in domain III that are deleterious for viral entry and spread by a second-site mutation in domain II. Position 261 lies within the hydrophobic ligand-binding pocket at the domain I-II interface, a site believed to be involved in the hinge-like conformational change of domain II during activation of membrane fusion-activity. Results of this study provide genetic data consistent with findings on flavivirus structure and implicate domain III in functions beyond simply cell surface attachment.

Note
Basic Characteristics of Mutations
  • Mutation Site: The specific location in a gene or protein sequence where a change occurs.
  • Mutation Level: The level at which a mutation occurs, including the nucleotide or amino acid level.
  • Mutation Type: The nature of the mutation, such as missense mutation, nonsense mutation, synonymous mutation, etc.
  • Gene/Protein/Region: Refers to the specific region of the virus where the mutation occurs. Including viral genes, viral proteins, or a specific viral genome region. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main
  • Gene/Protein/Region studied in the article is marked.
  • Genotype/Subtype: Refers to the viral genotype or subtype where the mutation occurs. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main Genotype/Subtype studied in the article is marked.
  • Viral Reference: Refers to the standard virus strain used to compare and analyze viral sequences.
Functional Impact and Mechanisms
  • Disease: An abnormal physiological state with specific symptoms and signs caused by viral infection.
