This study aimed to investigate the resistance mechanism of C6/36 cells to Cyt1Aa6 protein under selection pressure. Receptor binding properties of Cyt1Aa6 toward sensitive and resistant C6/36 cells were investigated. More sensitive cells were detected with goat-anti-rabbit-FITC-labeled antibody, and the quantity of in vitro activated Cyt1Aa6 toxin bound to resistant cells was greatly reduced. Ligand western blot assays showed that disappearance of the 26 kDa protein and weakness of the positive bands of 68 kDa from resistant cells might lead to the resistance of C6/36 cells to Cyt1Aa6 toxin. The resistance of C6/36 cells was detected under selection in vitro-activated Cytl1Aa6 toxin. Receptor binding demonstrated that reduced Cyt1Aa6 bound to resistant cells, which might be closely related to the disappearance and weakness of some proteins. The results presented here are the first to demonstrate that Cyt1Aa protein, a uniquely characteristic toxin, induced resistance at the cellular level. It might be attributed to the change of receptors.

, a major vector of dengue virus (DENV), has a global distribution. Identifying the key components of the ubiquitin system of essential for the replication of viruses could help identify targets for developing broad-spectrum antiviral strategies. This study explores the interaction between E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes (Ubc9) and DENV-2 proteins (NS1, NS5, and E) using cell culture and mosquito models.

Article Synopsis
- Alphaviruses, like chikungunya virus, rely on an error-prone RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (nsP4) for genome replication, but the full role of nsP4 in the virus life cycle is unclear.
- Researchers studied the significance of a key residue (C483) in nsP4 and created various nsP4 variants to explore their effects on viral replication in mammalian and mosquito cells.
- Their findings reveal that specific subdomains of nsP4 are critical for both RNA transcription and virion production, with temperature conditions impacting virus infectivity but enhancing replication and protein production in mammalian cells.

The RNA genome of orthoflaviviruses encodes a methyltransferase within the non-structural protein NS5, which is involved in 2'-O-methylation of the 5'-terminal nucleotide of the viral genome resulting in a cap1 structure. While a 2'-O-unmethylated cap0 structure is recognized in vertebrates by the RNA sensor RIG-I, the cap1 structure allows orthoflaviviruses to evade the vertebrate innate immune system. Here, we analyzed whether the cap0 structure is also recognized in mosquitoes.

Dengue is a disease with a high-impact on public health worldwide. Many researches have focused on the cell receptors involved in its pathogenesis. The role of soluble isoforms of DC-SIGN (Dendritic Cell-Specific ICAM-3 Grabbing Non-integrin) receptor in the process of Dengue Virus (DENV) infection is not well understood.
