abstract = {Dengue virus (DENV) infection is a growing public health
threat with more than one-third of the world's population at
risk. Non-structural protein 4A (NS4A), one of the least
characterized viral proteins, is a highly hydrophobic
transmembrane protein thought to induce the membrane
alterations that harbor the viral replication complex. The
NS4A N-terminal (amino acids 1–48), has been proposed to
contain an amphipathic α-helix (AH). Mutations (L6E; M10E)
designed to reduce the amphipathic character of the
predicted AH, abolished viral replication and reduced NS4A
oligomerization. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
spectroscopy was used to characterize the N-terminal
cytoplasmic region (amino acids 1–48) of both wild type
and mutant NS4A in the presence of SDS micelles. Binding of
the two N-terminal NS4A peptides to liposomes was studied as
a function of membrane curvature and lipid composition. The
NS4A N-terminal was found to contain two AHs separated by a
non-helical linker. The abovementioned mutations did not
significantly affect the helical secondary structure of this
domain. However, they reduced the affinity of the N-terminal
NS4A domain for lipid membranes. Binding of wild type
NS4A(1–48) to liposomes is highly dependent on membrane
curvature.},
