RT Journal Article SR Electronic(1) A1 Hacker, Kari A1 White, Laura A1 de Silva, Aravinda M.YR 2009 T1 N-Linked glycans on dengue viruses grown in mammalian and insect cells JF Journal of General Virology, VO 90 IS 9 SP 2097 OP 2106 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/vir.0.012120-0 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1465-2099, AB This study compared the ability of mosquito and mammalian cell-derived dengue virus (DENV) to infect human dendritic cell-specific ICAM3-grabbing non-integrin (DC-SIGN)-expressing cells and characterized the structure of envelope (E) protein N-linked glycans on DENV derived from the two cell types. DENVs derived from both cell types were equally effective at infecting DC-SIGN-expressing human monocytes and dendritic cells. The N-linked glycans on mosquito cell-derived virus were a mix of high-mannose and paucimannose glycans. In virus derived from mammalian cells, the N-linked glycans were a mix of high-mannose and complex glycans. These results indicate that N-linked glycans are incompletely processed during DENV egress from cells, resulting in high-mannose glycans on viruses derived from both cell types. Studies with full-length and truncated E protein demonstrated that incomplete processing was most likely a result of the poor accessibility of glycans on the membrane-anchored protein., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jgv/10.1099/vir.0.012120-0
