The flavivirus genome is a positive-stranded approximately 11-kb RNA including 5' and 3' noncoding regions (NCR) of approximately 100 and 400 to 600 nucleotides (nt), respectively. The 3' NCR contains adjacent, thermodynamically stable, conserved short and long stem-and-loop structures (the 3'-SL), formed by the 3'-terminal approximately 100 nt. The nucleotide sequences within the 3'-SL are not well conserved among species. We examined the requirement for the 3'-SL in the context of dengue virus type 2 (DEN2) replication by mutagenesis of an infectious cDNA copy of a DEN2 genome. Genomic full-length RNA was transcribed in vitro and used to transfect monkey kidney cells. A substitution mutation, in which the 3'-terminal 93 nt constituting the wild-type (wt) DEN2 3'-SL sequence were replaced by the 96-nt sequence of the West Nile virus (WN) 3'-SL, was sublethal for virus replication. An analysis of the growth phenotypes of additional mutant viruses derived from RNAs containing DEN2-WN chimeric 3'-SL structures suggested that the wt DEN2 nucleotide sequence forming the bottom half of the long stem and loop in the 3'-SL was required for viability. One 7-bp substitution mutation in this domain resulted in a mutant virus that grew well in monkey kidney cells but was severely restricted in cultured mosquito cells. In contrast, transpositions of and/or substitutions in the wt DEN2 nucleotide sequence in the top half of the long stem and in the short stem and loop were relatively well tolerated, provided the stem-loop secondary structure was conserved.
